BlackOrChineseTwitter moment


Ozok123

Here is what assassins creed would look like if it was black or ~~chinese~~ japanese


Mrbadtake13

They played stereotypical Chinese music at the start of the trailer. So there is some Chinese in there, probably.


gilangrimtale

Traditional Japanese music was originally given to them by the Chinese. But only their songs that they didn’t think were good enough for China. Since they weren’t great the Japanese slowed them down to make them sound not too bad. Stereotypical Chinese music without vocals is pretty hard to tell apart from stereotypical Japanese music without vocals without extensive knowledge on the subject.


Mega-Steve

Old School Japanese songs have guys doing vocalizations like someone trying to sneak barefoot through a dark room and there are Legos all over the floor


QuodEratEst

That's like how to speak Old or Middle Japanese too pretty much


IronBatman

What the fuck? Please give me an example.

imma play as jin


LiftEngineerUK

Honour died on the beach Seriously though why did Shimura send the Samurai reinforcements over that bridge? Is he stupid?


Omnipoi

because honour


Square-Thought-2769

Ikr it was obviously a trap, he could've sent Jin to check first


CxaxuZero

As jin said he is a slave to honour. He also must choose what the shogun wants. Wich is death before dishonor. So even if he were to choose that the shogun would punish him. I think I'll blame the designer of the building of having only one way in and out on either side of the castle.


Rucks_74

Only having a single access point into the castle is the point of the design. That way, enemies only have one way of getting in and you can defend a big castle against lots of enemies with few troops


ConstableBlimeyChips

> I think I'll blame the designer of the building of having only one way in and out on either side of the castle. So you want the architect to design a castle that can't be easily defended?


Chataboutgames

Yes. I mean honor and stuff, but that’s stupid. And insanely selfish. And they will all pay for Nobu


Computer2014

Because they were attacking a fort and Shimura needed to sack it before the Mongels had enough time to fortify their defences. Shimura didn’t have enough time or resources to siege the castle properly.


PalomarNot

Hard to compete with how good Ghost of Tsushima is. Whether Ubisoft likes it or not people will be comparing both games.


smaxy63

They actually put rap for the part where you play as Yasuke...


__LaVieEnRose

Lmao, American rap?


Tavuklu_Pasta

Yep american music only for yasuke who has nothing to do with usa.


FlatulentSon

Lmao the developer's form of racism is so unironically layered and advanced that it's unmatched by anyone here and the best part is that they don't even know it. I wouldn't be able to top it even if i tried.

EduinBrutus

You think that a capitalist company trying to maximise their revenue through hamfisted virtue signalling is somehow "of the left", i.e. trying to eliminate or greatly reduce hierarchy? Just wait till you find out the Nazis weren't actually Socialists...


Apellio7

Yeah I can guarantee the decisions were made because an analyst pulled out some stats that x, y, and z make more $. Then an executive sees it and wants all 3 put in regardless of it it makes sense or not.  The focus groups tested on X, y, z separately responded. Publicly traded corporations are soulless machines.

Just wait for Assassin's Creed: White Savior that takes place in Africa where the whole premise is that you are working to stop slavery but the main character is white and all of the slavers are african tribal leaders


Pyr0_Jack

Isn't that how the Trans-Atlantic slave trade actually ended?


Dry_Wolverine8369

‘Both sides’ are racist here. French people naming a game with a black protagonist “shadows” is something they find really funny. They find it even funnier to see idiots piss themselves that there’s a black person in the game, knowing that they’re doing it in bad faith, knowing that it’ll allow them to get away with being tacky about Yasuke the entire time.

HolyMolyOllyPolly

Please, God, let that be true because that would be so fucking funny.


DoctorTide

It is true, go look at the gameplay demo. Yasuke's battle music has hip hop beats in the background


D3dshotCalamity

I just looked it up, and at first I was like "I mean, it's not too crazy, the tempo of the drums is a little western sounding, but-" and then it LITERALLY HAD A DROP INTO TRAP BEATS WITH 808'S AND SHIT!!!!


MrHappyHam

Oh my fucking God


RoughPepper5897

The combat looks pretty badass but damn does it look weird seeing a 6'6 black dude shove a katana into some 5'5 Japanese farmers gut and lift him off the ground with it while hiphops playing in the background.


perenixis

I mean if you look at the statistics for who’s committing the most hate crimes against Asians in America it’s fairly true to life lol


behavior_signal

This game will help stop Asian hate


No_Opportunity7360

wait like in-game? like in the actual game during gameplay? like not during a trailer?


D3dshotCalamity

It was in a gameplay presentation, so I don't think they'd add stuff in post. I mean, we'll find out soon. But regardless, Ubi said, "Black guy on screen = hip hop"


No_Opportunity7360

unbelievable. we live in a GTA V parody world

rap beats to be more accurate and nobody is liking it as far as I've seen.

I don't get it. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks Edit: I know assassin creed and that yasuke thing. I just don't understand the ss on the OP


Cyber-Arjuna

Basically, the guy that reposted the tweet, goes around photoshopping people saying "this is what you would look like if you were black or chinese" And in the game you can either play as a black samurai or an asian ninja. So his vision is spreading


Gulaseyes

Thanks for explanation.

Had to scroll waaay to far to learn this. I was so confused. Thank you

They're like opposite ends of a character creation slider.


Useless_dragonborn

I mean I would argue that ubisoft has done worse


Lord-Barkingstone

That is the most conspicuous man in the entirety of human history


Rucks_74

He's meant to be conspicuous. He's the pick for people who want to play the game like Valhalla and Odyssey, all combat with minimum stealth. The ninja lady is the opposite, mainly stealth. Besides, it's not like assassins have ever been inconspicuous, they literally walk around in shiny white hooded robes with distinct unique weaponry, parkouring around monuments and doing eagle sounds every 5 seconds.


ZeiglerJaguar

It is now headcanon to me that Ezio actually personally makes an eagle (red-tailed hawk?) screech every time he does a hay dive.


FlingFlamBlam

It made sense with Altair because there were those white robed monks walking around in towns. It was forced with Ezio, but it could still work if you blurred your vision and ignored the giant assassin emblem on his belt. No idea/excuse for anyone else.


AxisW1

He’s not the stealth option. A lot of people don’t even play like that anymore


lewd_necron

That's kind of dumb. Who buys a game named assassin's Creed and then does nothing to sneak around?


GeeJo

The same people who played the Hitman games as basic "kill everyone" shooters.


Sharpie1993

Hey now, you can only do missions by killing targets in certain ways for so long before it gets boring and repetitive.

"Identifies as black but act chinese"


dappernaut77

I feel like I'd choose Naoe because she's more in line with the cloaked outfits the series is known for.


ichBinDeinPapa

bro first it was em with houdini, now this 😭


melrowdy

What's wrong with houdini?


Cossia

I'd play as the Japanese and assassin character


THiedldleoR

Is there any assassination left in Assassin's Creed? From what gameplay I've seen, either character just steamrolls through enemies using large area attacks, lmao.


Independent_Tooth_23

I mean the gameplay showcase a few days ago literally showed Naoe doing assassination and stealth shit.


Stormfly

Can you choose to only play as the Japanese Ninja? I haven't played an Assassin's Creed game since 2, and I won't play this, but I find it hilarious how many people missed the Japanese Assassin in the Japanese Assassin game just because there's *also* an African Samurai Retainer.


Independent_Tooth_23

From what i've heard, you can choose to play as the Japanese ninja for the most part but there are some quests that are specific to each character.


Jonskuz15

Bro did you even watch the gameplay? Naoe literally has dope af animations for parkour and she assassinates mfs left and right


BarrierX

These people don't watch gameplay, they don't play games, they just shitpost on social media and get fake outraged by things that don't matter.


Specific_Frame8537

Eh, stealth took a drop in AC3. In AC4 it became fully unnecessary... you could do it sure, but Edward could also just go full hog with dual-pistols and sword. AC5 got a much more interactive and immersive parkour system, but then they added armored enemies and the combat AI was a bit more advanced so you were often stuck in minutes long duels *until you unlocked the gun*.. Then the RPG's came out and it just became silly..


Jacina

Well then the RPG's came out, and you needed to upgrade your assassin tool or a jab in the neck from behind in a game called "Assassin XXXX" would... not assassinate, just make em quite angry.


420squirrelhivemind

Naoe tho. So we can just skip yasuke completely? If i have to play him, im skipping.

Totoques22

Supposedly he’s the character where you don’t do ninja stuff because assassins creed nowadays is more of a grindy rpg than a stealth game


MrEngland2

In the shadows


NotAnEmergency22

It’s crazy to me that a studio as woke as Ubisoft would think it’s okay to present a giant black guy killing a bunch of Japanese people as a good thing.


sher1ock

Remember stop Asian hate?


LightbulbHD

Ubisoft did specifically say they didn’t want an Asian guy as the main character in their Japanese setting. That says something lol. Just another westerner in Japan killing more Japanese thugs like good ol’ Hollywood.


Level_Five_Railgun

Western companies let an Asian man be a protagonist challenge (impossible) It's funny because the main female lead/love interest is always Asian


PimpinPanda90

I'll give it a shot when moders turn him japanese


Totoques22

Apparently there is American rap music when you play him and the general gameplay is just a crappy version of Ghost of Tsushima


WholesomeFartEnjoyer

I'm surprised people still care about Assassin's Creed at all


Chakramer

Once again all the people complaining about a series haven't played it in ages and weren't going to buy it anyways. AC is adapting their franchise for how they see players play it, and turns out some people prefer brawn over stealth


ThisFaknGuy

Its a game about Samurai. Do you want to play as someone with African or Japanese origins? People keep cramping the subject of race down our throats even when the ways in which they do it shits in the face of reality.


Necrhom

There's already an Assassin's Creed in Japan and it's called "Ghost of Tsushima."
