So what even was the point of putting this guy front and center of the marketing, when Story/Main mission split is like 70% the female assassin anyway?
You'd think he would play a bigger role from all the PR push but no, it was still Naoe's game anyway.
>>

Most of the marketing focused on Naoe, the outrage focused on Yasuke

you now remember this shit

>>744700047
Naoe was a mistake too
>>
>>744700047
It's always for the same reason. To make it critic-proof. The journalists will praise the game because black guy. But any of us who criticize the game for ANY REASON will be disregarded as racist chuds.

>>744700047
To kill the assassin creed franchise, that was the goal of putting him there.
>>
>>744700094
It only switched to Naoe after the backlash. First trailers and pr spins talked about the black samurai.

wasnt japan as a setting their emergency button? i remember ages ago one of the original devs said he didnt find it interesting enough to explore and would only press that button if "things looked bleaked" or something

The point was Ubisoft being fucking stupid as usual.

it isn't

the last battle is him with rap music in the background

no it wasn't

Are you being serious?

>>744700497
they waited too long and GoT ate their lunch
I imagine the female ninja and black samurai were chosen in part because of that as well
>we can't just have a male Japanese protagonist, we have to come up with something to set us apart from GoT!
>>
>>744700543
that sounds retarded enough to be true and after that retarded demo from that ex asscreed dev it makes a lot more sense

why are people to obsessed with salem witches being real and this spin to be badasses or wise people when they just puritans that got accused by their neighbour for being prettier?

What a pleb.

Witches in modern media are an allegory for female oppression but also feminist sisterhood. The "witches" that were burned at the stake or drowned in lakes represent the heckin suffering women had to endure in the 1950s whenever they got cat-called. Meanwhile, a covenant of witches represents the unity of women all over the world against the nazi chud Trump menace

the logic is that they wanted to wokemaxxx

Just found out Edward and his kid daughter from the ending of Black Flag has a bunch of spinoff stories where they go to Japan after Edward joined the Assassins lmao why didn't they just adapt that story instead of this nigger
>>
>first they started glazing the game for being "le historically accurate"
>when it gets pointed out that yasuke was merely a retainer and not a real samurai, they backpedaled to "w-w-well it's not supposed to be historically accurate, you're just le racist"

I remember the opposite. Most of the marketing, such as the trailers and gameplay demos, were focused around Naoe. Yousuke definitely did not get much marketing.
>>
>>744702487
It's why they did the remake, it's clearly a hint for Black Flag 2, which it'll be based off (and retcon) the webtoon.
>>
>>744703236
That wasn't the first time they tried to pull that stunt. They did it with the "discovery tour" in Origins and Odyssey too.
>>
>>744700047
French people were told that a black would sell the game in the US where they worship them.
But Amerifats are too poor to buy video games.

The franchise died with Desmond back in AC3 and Origins killed it's legacy.

>biggest threat to witches were other women
Funniest shit.

so why did they never give a real number of sales?
>>
>>744706591
Why be honest when you can bamboozle retards with ridiculous metrics like "wishlists" and "hours played"?

>>744703530
"french"
it was ubi queerbec that made the game
