Assassin's Creed Shadows: we wuz samurai n shiet

****. Erika Ishii is a hideous freak and should've never been allowed becoming a popular VA.
The cult of personality built around her ever-so-fluid twitter account is absolutely disgusting too.

It is mostly Critical Role subhuman fanboys/girls defending her. Once again, Critical Role is the bane of nerddom. I did speak to some Critical Role fans who weren't foaming at the mouth sycophants and they told me that Erika is the most despised guest that Mercer brings on his show. Everyone who isn't a foaming at the mouth libshit or ****** hates her. She constantly makes everything political at something that should be apolitical. She also constantly makes everything about her and her LGBTQ activism which rubs people the wrong way. They also told me that Erika has a deep seated hatred towards women which they suspect stems from her volatile relationship with her mother and grandmother who never approved of Erika's LGBTQ lifestyle. Which is why she reserves her most violent rhetoric towards women who disagree with her politically.

I can’t blame them .The LGBTQ community has done more damage to themselves then any then any “bigot” could ever dream to accomplished.

Literally there own worst enemy.

Unfortunately, I had the "joy" of discovering Critical Role myself. And from finding it amusing at first... things escalated really quickly to "mannn, I hate this scripted piece of **** and their unending propaganda in a fantasy setting". It's like watching any kind of Marvel slop that's filled with reddit level jokes and pop culture references. Sure, maybe once or twice it's fine, but when whole crew is a bunch of degenerates? -- Got old really quickly.

Alleged Ubisoft developers claim that the company either ignores legitimate criticism of its business practices and games or brushes it off as “toxic gamer talk.” They also claim that the company’s DEI policies have led to loss of talent in both technical expertise as well as creativity.

Can confirm. I used to watch CR and her guest stint for C3 was one of the worst things CR has done, including giving a talentless sheboon DM who hates both high fantasy and DnD a high fantasy DnD mini-campaign.
Erika's screeching was some of the worst aural assaults my ears had the misfortune of suffering through. A banshee would be envious. I'd say I have no idea how she's even a working voice actress, but it's pretty obvious.
She's another one of those nepo dingleberries hanging off of more successful people's *** hairs. The kind that scream "racism/sexism/whateverphobia!" to get what they want despite lacking any talent. And American voice acting is one of the most incestuous, nepotistic and progressive-brain-rotted industries out there.

I have seen several videos sharing a rumor that Ubisoft is delaying the game in order to "patch out Yasuke" and replace him with a proper Japanese man, but none of the videos I have seen so far share a news article or tweet or anything or the sort, rather their source is "I spoke with an insider of Ubisoft" or something like that.

Even if that is true, I doubt that such a fix would meaningfully change anything. But if the games does indeed come out in so-called "black history month" and we all see the ****** replaced by an Asian I think that would be beyond funny.

They already ****** the Japanese off, this will just **** off their nog neighbours. Besides, it will still be a gay.

Should have just claimed "development woes" forced them to demote Yasuke to NPC status and went forward with the femNinja as the main character, before Ghosts of Woke revealed their plans.

No way that’s happening so late in development.Game would have to be delayed for a year or longer to make that even feasible ,not to mention significant changes to core game design that it would need to be scraped and reworked that balloon the production cost by large degree.

They could just magically transform her into a ****/******/both in order to save face with the DEI guild of merchants. It's an easy fix. Add a pussy-eating minigame, they seem to like minigames in their ****.

This ***** reminds me of the 80/20 phenomenon I experienced in many companies that I applied to (and from my colleagues) - 20% of the workers do 80% of the work. The rest of the fuckers do nothing of value yet still take home their paycheck. This woman falls in the other 80% of workers that do nothing and possess no unique strength/skill of their own.

I mean, imagine getting paid to talking into a ******* microphone, whilst having the luxury to spout degenerate, libtard ****. I feel bad for whatever hardworking devs' salary this ***** is gobbling up. That too, for what will probably be a dogshit performance.

[gerey]

I don't really blame her.

Don't take me wrong, she is the textbook definition of defective, a subhuman that should be culled from the gene pool via bullet/****/gas, but at the end of the day someone higher up the corporate ladder chose to make her the protagonist.

Someone decided the protagonist was to be female, chose to make her ugly and chose to model her after this oven dodger.

Some pretty damming insider information on assassin's creed shadow, Ubisoft and games industry as a whole.

It was both white pilling and black pilling.

Absolutely zero chance of this happening in 2004, let alone now. The best I can see (which is still extremely unlikely) is them adding another male protagonist, which would obviously be a Japanese one.

[jebacdrkac]

**** this looks so much better

Even this looks like garbage. Assassin's Creed has always had problems with outfits. The supposed greatest assassins in the world, who blend into the shadows, are wearing the richest, most colorful, and eye-catching outfits you could stumble upon.
Sorry, Ezio, but you're only fooling a blind person with this. It does look cool, though, I won't deny that.

Isn't this is some special armor that you acquire in a middle of a game? I'm pretty sure that starting robe was good enough.

Kinda, from a certain point of view. That's Ezio's basic outfit in AC Brotherhood. When you buy upgrades, it gets covered in armor pieces. Those armor pieces don't look as cool, though. That's why this particular base version of the outfit has been the Ezio's outfit in every other game (from AC3 onwards).
The first AC game had monks wearing white robes which allowed Altair to hide among them.

In AC2 they tried to keep the general color scheme but got more extravagant with the Italian fashion.

But, yes, by the time Brotherhood came out, they just went for what looks cool, not what made tactical sense for an order of assassins to wear.

The core idea of the first game was really appealing to me, although the execution was ***. It was probably the "purest" Assassin's Creed game; you belong to an Assassin organisation, you follow a certain creed, you do assassination missions, and collect intel. And the game actually ******* focused on the brotherhood. That "nothing is true" motto is actually given some thought and consideration, as Demond and Altair come to question the nature of the creed they follow. I also like the interesting dialogues/ debates that Altair has with his mentor, and Desmond with Vidic. Well-written and philosophical and tied to the game's plot.

I think that with every subsequent release, the game strayed from the original concept and purity that the first game had. If in an ideal world, someone was to remake the first game *properly*, that would probably be my favourite assassin's creed game.

Funny you that because there is insider information that If the next assassin's flops they will go do a full on remake on the original and Ezio Trilogy ( not currently in development and is there just in case if all is fails )to save themselves from bankruptcy in building back any semblance of good will.

[UltraFan123]

Apparently, this Tom Henderson guy is a reliable source.

If you don't feel like opening X, the full list is;

Yasuke is not going to be removed

The team has been actively addressing many of the historical and cultural concerns, which started before the game’s reveal following external playtests and were accelerated further following the game’s initial reveal and mass feedback.

Changing some of Yasuke’s story and how he’s portrayed in the game

Fixing architectural details, and ensuring that the game is historically grounded while fitting into the Assassin’s Creed universe.

Such issues should have been caught internally before the game’s reveal, especially given Ubisoft’s strict asset-approval process

These issues fell through the cracks, because historical experts were brought onto the project much later than usual for a project of this magnitude and that miscommunication between teams and cutting corners when it came to the approval process of assets to meet deadlines were also at play.

The game is currently not at the stage it needs to be for release, and some tweaks to some gameplay mechanics and elements that are going to take time to incorporate

While some of these issues were highlighted in recent playtests and mock reviews, these are end-of-development issues that will take a little longer.

Seven developers working on the project said that they have been pushing for a delay for some time, and their situation had even been heard at other studios in the company

Delay comes down to a strict development timeline and the need to address issues caused by the set timeline.

As for why Ubisoft HQ continues to ignore the developers on almost every level, Ubisoft’s Executive Committee and Board of Directors will decide in their review – although 80% of 40 Ubisoft developers think this ends in no change or layoffs – but that’s another story on the internal issues for another time.

Ubisoft Quebec will release Assassin’s Creed Shadows on February 14, 2025, and while the game isn’t matching Valhalla in pre-order numbers (which launched on Steam and past-generation consoles), the numbers are solid and are likely to rise further given its Steam release announcement.

[Rand]

Remove Yesmassa or the game dies a quick death.
It's that simple.

There's no point faffing about with the frosting when the cake is a marble of artificial vanilla and pigshit.

Ubisoft Quebec will release Assassin’s Creed Shadows on February 14, 2025, and while the game isn’t matching Valhalla in pre-order numbers (which launched on Steam and past-generation consoles), the numbers are solid and are likely to rise further given its Steam release announcement.

Gonna press X to doubt on that date. It was a panic date and reflects nothing except an obnoxious and blatant attempt to use Blacks Lying About History Month as a "You're just racist" shield.

As to the "isn’t matching Valhalla in pre-order numbers... the numbers are solid": it's at about 7% of Valhalla. Steam may get it to 8 or 9%.
It will 100% be a financial loss to Ubisoft, and will not save them from the 500+ million waste on Skull and Bones that they desperately hoped Red Dead Star Wars and We Wuz Samurais and Sheeit would fix on their deep red balance sheets.
Star Wars: Ma'am Solo will not be profitable, and the Niggurai will lose money.

Ubisoft are dead "men" walking.

Highly unlikely they remake AC3 due to be one of the most divisive in the series even through it’s my favourite with a fantastic OST by Lorne Balfe.

AC3 main theme is a absolutely god tier track.
