tell me sincerely that you weren't interested in the implied modern day doing some assassin shit and then plot-twist getting out of another animus and desmond was somebody's ancestor

yasuke is a very common name in Mozambique

but gamers will freak out about one game not having hot girls then in the very next game decry the game for having hot girls. I don’t get it.

might be two different groups

it is. "woke" is too many letters so they got rid of one

that would be way fucking funnier lmao.

hotep pseudohistory videogames would be a wild fucking ride

unity played good but i was still mad about them just abandoning the modern day story and then at the end of unity you find out the thing you were looking for with your shitty hacker collective wasn't even there in the past so the whole game was pointless.

nah i'll pirate it so i don't have to use ubisoft's shitty launcher

the only weird thing about him being a player character is that usually the assassin is a made up person who meets actual historical figures, but we know dick fuckall about him so he's a blank enough slate for their purposes.

yeah they're deliberately ignoring that. making a sengoku period game is real lazy and using Yasuke is probably cynical on the part of the corporation but he's cool and they were never going to make a game about expelling the Ainu from Honshu or something. These are the cowards who made far cry 5 the way it is in a world where wolfenstein exists.

yeah there were some radlibs holding Ls on that one not realizing that billy was a historical figure and somehow missing that team fucking ninja are a japanese studio. maybe they were cynically having a white protagonist to sell more copies in the west but i don't get the impression that koei or team ninja think like that, doa 6 doesn't have rollback and you wouldn't launch a fighting game without lobbies and rollback in whatever year that shit was if you're catering to a western audience. A shitload of japaense people in japan love the last samurai and shit because they're not minoritized, so i'm guessing they did billy because they've all seen a billion historical dramas and played other games with japanese protagonists.

using yasuke is 100% cynical corporate bullshit from ubisoft, like it's fucking ubisoft, but yasuke is cool and kool-aid manning people is probably fun and there's two protagonists anyway so the only thing to be mad about here is that it's a ubisoft game and yves continues to escape justice.

They should have the next one in the old west and you play as a chinese guy and be like "we heard you wanted an asian man, well here you go" and then double piss off the racists by accurately depicting the horrible conditions building the railroads.

no, jackdaws got him banned
