Is Ubisoft gonna take legal action against the Japanese Prime Minister for harassment?

The Godzilla of first replies. Shut the thread down.

I wonder why people are so angry at Yasuke (pronounced You-So-Gay)...

 

[Fbh]

Oh no.
Was twitter also super worried about the living descendants of George Washington when they made him a dictator ?

 

[Just_one]

so this game is a cultural disrepect but having big ass tities and girls getting fucked by monsters in hentai is totally ok?

 

[FewRope]

Oh no.

An ancestor of a woman in the 1500s, we dont know if she was faithful or not lmao

Every powerful monarch in story has been depicted as shit in a lot of media but watch out, it's Japan monarchy this time around

 

[Nydius]

Watching the clips in the OP gives me flashbacks to C-SPAN coverage of Senator Joe Lieberman clutching his pearls in Congress over games like Night Trap, Mortal Kombat, Doom and Lethal Enforcers (specifically because it had 'realistic' plastic guns). Society has come so far!

 

[FUBARx89]

"Unauthorized use of real-world locations is unacceptable" .... is that even possible? How can Japan even prevent the use of these locations in videogames? You can't copyright or trademark centuries old buildings, shrines, houses, etc.

Reminds me of when the Church Of England was crying and bitching about the use of Manchester Cathedral in Resistance - Fall Of Man and it was "an outrage in the UK" (It wasn't)

But because it's Ubisoft. Everyone and their mother is jumping onto it. It's stupid and I don't even like Ubishit games.

You shouldn't. The last time IGN used a translator, they fucking lied about what was actually said and used it to personally attack the Wu Kong developers. Maybe they are right this time, maybe not, but the idea you would trust them more is ridiculous. Like those clowns don't have an agenda...lol.

IGN is not a single entity. The Japanese website isn't lying to its audience (Japanese people) that can actually check and understand the source materials on their own.
Like, come on now.

This, their only good devs left are the Anno devs.

 

[Jsisto]

What an absolute clown show this has become for all parties involved.

It's all IGN, none of them should be trusted. And the comments were translated by Japanese staffers for the English audience, not the Japanese audience, which is exactly the same thing they did with Wu Kong. They got a Chinese translator to lie to English speakers. Chinese people got wind of it and said she was full of shit, which is exactly what this Japanese Youtuber is claiming. Like I said, I don't know if they are telling the truth this time or not, but the idea you would trust them after the last few years is laughable.

Eh, I don't necessarily agree, but I'll give you this one as I thought IGN Japan -not IGN USA- was linked there. Cheers.

 

[cripterion]

JP govermnent is laughable considering they are partly responsible for the mess that is overtourism now, they always want more (they aim to double the amount of last year) so they should be the last people in giving lessons.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Examples of that? im a visual learner.

 

[cripterion]

This is so dumb, get outraged by a videogame when you currently have fucking streamers creating a shit ton of problems in the country, hell they let Somali do his thing for months.

Seems japanese government definitely have their priorities straight.

 

[Paasei]

They can’t ever do it right anymore, anyway. This is just drama for the sake (not the drink) drama.
People would’ve complained if objects in the world couldn’t be destroyed as well.

Japan needs to grow up and Ubisoft needs to sell or heavily spend time reinvesting in themselves to get their priorities straight.

At least the games looks really good, so they got something right. People seem to be happy about Naoe, too.

 

[Lethal01]

Didnt yasuke Plow her prior to her being married?

You can't make this shit without wanting to provoke someone willingly, right? Or are they that stupid?

They also knew that some people would cry about george washinton being a dictator or killing the pope in their game. but the people who complain about these things are idiots so who cares?

 

[Hudo]

This, their only good devs left are the Anno devs.

They also have Heroes of Might & Magic: The Olden Era in development (dev is Unfrozen, an external studio). And it looks like it could be a good one.
And they have a Rayman game in development, apparently. With Michel Ancel being involved.

 

[Boy bawang]

Oh shut the fuck up Japan, you constantly misrepresent other cultures and you have bigger fishes to fry anyway. It's just a game.

 

[Thief1987]

Ban ubislop games in Japan then, hollow blabbering is useless.

What a stupid fucking idiot.
Altars now require permissions…. Fuck him

 

[rofif]

Idk what game is he playing. I am running around feudal Japan for hours and I am yet to have sex with anyone.
I am sure gays were a thing forever. Even in feudal Japan….

 

[rofif]

Ubisoft might be your stupid retarded little brother. But you still defend him because he is gaming. Nobody can attack my gaming other than other gamers.

 

[cripterion]

But that's the thing, shit went down before any videogame "influenced" anyone. And then I didn't see them get outraged.

I'm a tour guide in Japan , I see dumb shit every single day.

 

[Aion002]

Last year there there was a Japanese movie where Yasuke is Nobunaga's gay lover. No one protested.

That was possible:

Mori Ranmaru - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

Homosexuality in Japan - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

Nobunaga probably fucked everyone and everything he could.

 

[EverydayBeast]

None of those people are objected to play the game, this type of behavior is happening on a regular basis now where everyone things they’re insulting someone.
