So far this game is trying to turn Na(wt a woman)oe into a Kill Bill type girl boss character mixed in with a western. Do millennials understand media and art existed before the year 2000? Add "revenge is bad" to the mixture. Also, no one is phased at all by Naoe trying to larp as a man. Even the Last Samurai got this **** right, and that movie was a meme.

Ok, seriously, what is going on?

Some **** journo wrote a fluffpiece about this turd and how it's surging up the Steam charts. But I can't find this **** anywhere in the steam stats, not in trending games (where is should be, if it were a successful recent release), not in the current top games, nor in the top games of all times.

Are journos just selectively reading data or did they just decide to make **** up?

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.
East Asian are sensitive in a weird way, wrongthinking gets you cancelled there but they allow denegerate **** likes lolipedo amputee ****-eating fart fetish pass.

The Last Samurai is one of the greatest films ever made and the only downside is that they changed the main character from being French like the historical guy he's based on to an American.

Yasuke was the greatest swordsman in all of Japan. He founded the school of Dindu sword fighting in which the primary tactic was to only duel at night so his opponents couldn't see him.

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.
A toddler... or a JEW?
Monarchy /= feudalism. Monarchy is for babylonians, bankers, and beaurocrats. Feudalism is for free White men, like me.

Maria, known as the Virgin Mary, the Madonna, Myrhiàm or Maryam, is the central female figure in Christianity and Islam. She was a first-century Jewish woman living in the province of Galilee, wife to Joseph and mother of Jesus Christ, the messiah for Christians and a great prophet for Muslims.
Maria is a demon in the series.

Portraying Mary as a killable demon is such an incredible insult to Catholics far beyond being able to ransack a Shinto shrine, it's not even in the same galaxy of insults.

Japan's gun culture never had a chance to take root. It's a shame, they would have become free men, instead of bug men.

Have they managed to **** this franchise into the dirt so hard it's no longer worth the brand recognition to keep stapling the "Assassin's Creed" branding onto these weird action RPGs now?

41k peak players on Steam. So 960 thousand were playing it elsewhere? I don't believe that at all.
If this game doesn't break Veilguards numbers I think it will be safe to say that Ubisoft is truly dead.

I for one am getting really sick of the "revenge is bad" troupe being pushed by the media. Revenge in of itself isn't a bad thing. It can be used to serve as a good motivator to a story and bring a person closure. I have been noticing that the people pushing this whole "revenge is bad" bullocks are people from a certain tribe of long noses and tiny hats. Gee... I wonder why they would be trying to convince the goy that revenge is bad?
