Unironically true.

The actual historically accurate samurai were elitist chumps who were in fact so incompetent in warfare - the one thing that they were supposed to be good at - that regular peasants were able to beat them with farming tools. That's why they began to make up ******** stories about how these ninjas had "magical powers" that their sorry asses couldn't counter.

So now we have folk stories about "ninjutsu" that inspired plenty of manga/anime to this day, because historical samurai were ********. kek
Regular chumps with pointy sticks beating elites has been a theme in the West since the 1300s.



You won't hear how ******** knights and chivalry are from tradlarps
It's curious how the evil knights always get slaughtered in an epic battle against the peasants/yeomen/burghers/leftist self-insert faction, then after the pop-history Youtube video ends, they somehow win the war and stay in power.

**** systemic racism keeping the black-headed peasants down.
There's something like one successful peasant revolt in the entirety of the middle ages
and it wasn't for a lack of trying

Gotta say I have never seen a people more buck-broken by a game than the Japanese. How about you care about your dwindling population instead of whining on national TV about a videogame? Oh right, they don't care, they will just import more kurds and indians while putting on the "Based Slant-Eye being against the wOkE mInD vIrUs" mask while the women probably get raped by Achmet, Muhamed and Dikshit.
The irony of a German posting this.

Is this the first assassin's creed game where people wish it was less historically accurate rather than more?

Monarchies were rising in the 1300s thanks to Banking, Guilds, and the urban clerical class that supported their states. The kings that prececeed them were anything but monarchs. The point is elites lose to chumps, wherever you look. Am I supposed to believe samurai were stupid because they lost to peasants in 50 battles, or were the samurai who lost made stupid by arrogance? Does there need to be a thread dedicated to all the battles where elites that tradcathcrusader99 fawns over lose to chumps or sandniggers?
I don't wanna derail this thread but "elites lose to chumps, wherever you look" is how a toddler would view the history of warfare. There are many examples where chumps did indeed lose, quite horrifically, to the "elites". And many where they didn't. I have no idea what your point actually means in this context. Let us just agree the Samurai were gay and ******** since I doubt this will go anywhere.
You know exactly what I mean, but I know you never had any intent to read what "wherever you look" as anything but "chumps always win against elites".

I think Rusty's position is that this super gayass ****** game is "historically accurate" because the samurai protagonist is gay as ****, which apparently historical samurai were indeed gay as ****, too.

TLDR Rusty hates the Japanese and loves AC:Shadows because the game reviewer right-masquerading e-celeb grifters hate AC:Shadows and yammer endlessly about respecting the Nips.

Rusty was angry about KCD2 going woke, because he saw it as a deep betrayal of many things he loves (brotherhood, medieval European life and values, etc). Like, Rusty was really angry. You remember what happens when Rusty is genuinely angry about something, right? Right.

The same people who seem to make their living ******** on the "safe" target of AC:Shadows were at the same time slobbering on KCD2's knob. Gradually Rusty began to hate them.

The people who praised KCD2 as historically accurate and the GOAT were at the same time screeching that AC:Shadows didn't HECKIN RESPECT WAPANESE CULTCHA. Remember, Rusty now hates these ******* because they yelled at the chuds for not wanting a gay pedobait Hans Capon and Jew Golem corpse-munching in their medieval Bohemia bro simulator.

Therefore, they are also lying about AC:Shadows, which is now more historically accurate than KCD2 because Rusty hates the people trying to **** on it (loving something because the people you hate don't like it is unironically based btw). Also Japan is not worthy of anything but mockery because these people keep screeching that JAPANESE CULTURE SHOULD BE RESPECTED!!! Hating something because the people you hate love it is also unironically based btw.

So now Rusty loves AC:Shadows and hates Japan.

not reading all that, just tired of weebs pretending the average jap game isn't 10x more woke than ac shadows or that japs deserve special treatment when presented in media as if japs don't regularly disrespect foreign cultures in their media depictions

[edit]
also, weebs are just SJWs for japs instead of *******

MFW Rusty realizes that the entire RPGCodex Turtle Cult was actually just weebs and the minute he spoke out against the Nipponese - all his friends backstabbed him. :smug:

This is true though.

Rusty is actually right that no small amount of JRPG depict Western religion as the bad ones or at least under a somewhat negative light, which does get tiresome.

GBF is either the top-grossing, or very close to it, game out of Japan.
the game grossed at least ¥54.8 billion ($499 million) in Japan between 2017 and 2018.
GBF has a variety of ******** in it, most recently introducing this character, a man who wants to be a woman
Image
Weebs were, of course, upset that the western translation did not respect his pronouns or whatever by instead localizing it as a ****** instead of some very specific kind of 2spirit ******.
Actual picture from a BASED anti-western article trying to **** on localizers:

(You would be forgiven if you're not a weeb and thought this was actually made by a LGBT cultist!)


The japs **** on us, and weebs tell us it's raining gold.

There's a similar chart for NTR.. where japanese have like 6 different terms for She-Cheats-On-Him-And-He-Likes-It vs She-Cheats-And-He-Doesn't-Know vs vs vs vs..

In freedomland it's called getting ****** like a little *****.

You can play the game if you pay for ubisoft's subscription service at 1/5th the price of buying it, no way to know how 'successful' this is

Still not convinced that giving your brand new, flagship AAA game away for 1/5th the price is a good move!
