Most gamers aren't annoyed about the black guy existing, but he wasn't a samurai, and they freely let ya destroy shrines and shit, and murder civilians, as him.

Interesting. I got to climb all over religious shit in AC 1 and AC 2. Mosques and Churches. Nobody complained when Ezio was standing on top of a cross at the top of a church. WHY? BC it's a sci-fi video game. See how none of that bothered folks enough not to play it. Same 💩 different day.😂
Shame. I hope you get the chance to play them one day. For those of us who have been playing the games since 2007, tearing shit up in holy sites is pretty normal.🤷♀️
Also I literally read manga through fan translation cuz I don't wanna wait, for a chance for a "localization" and I play fan translations of Japanese games that didn't get official Localizations, and generally prefer subbed anime because even if some dialogue is off, it's more accurate. Fuck off.
I checked reviews, most of them were the usual 9/10 BS from the games media owned by the same 2-3 western companies. Hell, all seemed to be I could find easily, so...fuck off.
Are you Japanese? Do you speak for them? Or are you letting some people from their government making a fuss about it imply all of Japan is enraged over this? The majority of people throwing a fit were doing so because there is a black man in Japan.
THat's just how it looks because you aren't willing to look into it. I don't like the racist takes either, but that is not the sole reason why. The disrespect for Japanese shrines in game, and in the merch, is another.
Set in Japan, that disrespects Japanese culture. They also put him in a relationship with Oda Nobunaga's wife. They also used the work of a historic revisionist to justify Yasuke being portrayed as a samurai. It's disrespectful what they are doing with the game.
lol. LMAO even — the marketing for every mainline Assassin’s Creed game gushes about how much money and time they spent on researching and recreating the historical period and its people
you are completely lost in the sauce, my dude. nobody in the world would naturally be pissed off about this unless they were immersing themselves in ragebait
TBH I don't give a fuck about Yasuke being playable, but the rest seems disrespectful. There's a difference between "what if the pope was evil" and "let's let the player burn down the Sistine Chapel". Also seems kinda racist to give the big black guy "hulking brute" gameplay.
is this your first time hearing about assassin's creed? literally the entire series is like this. do you know what kind of shit ezio, a random italian guy, does in this series?

"slightly" is right; the idea that this series is "respectful" toward history is insane. the whole point is using historical places for wacky bullshit
