Big manufacturers abroad all seem to be like this.

The people who were saying that have already jumped on the topic of Toei making a movie based on Yasuke, and look, they’re now triumphantly claiming that Yasuke was indeed a samurai.

When you include DEI, it seriously gets a bad reception.

The issue of sexual harassment is prominently featured, but…

It doesn’t say anything about the subsequent mass employee turnover or DEI employment and so on, as expected from 4Gamer.

It’s a huge waste because it’s extremely interesting as a game…

>>12

Wait

There is a possibility that I’ve gotten so used to Assassin’s Creed that my threshold for what is really interesting has lowered.

>>17

It’s always a series that scores 60 points as a game…

↑Me!?

It’s tough because Tencent was originally a major shareholder.

It seems that both Shadows and UBI have become so disappointing that they are being talked about like this in the Japanese media…

Even if you try hard, it takes 5 to 7 hours or more to operate with Yasuké, and you can’t do it without using characters other than Yasuké.

The wait until it’s usable is too long.

>>20

And by the time you can use it, it’ll already be chapter 2, so it’s a straight line to the final chapter from there…

>>21

Isn’t it quite short?

Regarding DEI and such, I have a rather bad feeling about the new Naughty Dog game, so I hope the game and story end up being interesting… but I guess it’s unlikely…

Well, it might be better if historical figures like in the old Assassin’s Creed just smoothly acted as side characters and caused a big ruckus.

It’s enough to just have a fistfight with an assassin and the Pope underground in the Vatican.

>>24

The stuff with the perverted guy and the captain is actually really interesting when you do it.

It’s okay if there are a few games that are dedicated to DEI.

I’m just fed up with it being the only thing.

I’m just enjoying watching videos that look for bugs…

Because UBI took the lead in Masaharu’s activities, things are getting serious…

It seemed that all the arguments we had here were covered as well.

>>28

From a quick glance, it seems like the paper argues, “They are deliberately treating Yasuké as a samurai while confusing the terms ‘samurai’ and ‘bushi,’ but the words were clearly distinct even back then; a bushi is not a samurai, and a samurai is not a bushi, so Yasuké is not a bushi!” Is that correct?

>>34

Furthermore, there is no fluidity in the samurai class during the Sengoku period.

Even if you have it, it’s impossible unless you achieve a level of merit like Hideyoshi! That’s what it says.

>>38

Well, in Shadows, Yasuké is never referred to as a samurai and is treated as a member of the entertainment group, so I think the interpretation that he is trying to be made into a samurai is itself mistaken.

>>34

I didn’t write that it was intentional.

The author of this paper writes that samurai and warriors became integrated during the process of translation overseas.

However, according to the theory of a Japanese professor, confusion occurred when the warrior class became the ruling class during the Heian period, so the author of this paper does not seem to grasp the scholarly context in Japan.

Wasn’t it Thomas Lockley who took the oasis and ran away?

Is there still someone who believes?

It’s not related, but the ninja main manga of Assassin’s Creed: Shadow in Young Magazine was genuinely interesting, so I recommend it.

It was a story about Iga ninjas.

>>32

The main characters from that manga appear just as they are in Shadows too.

To be honest, it’s a prequel.

The UBI game here gets tedious as you increase the area occupancy, and I end up getting bored halfway through.

I always find the modern parts of Assassin’s Creed tedious and end up giving up halfway.

I want them to properly include that there is a tedious modern part in the advertisement.

Even Hideyoshi could have become a samurai.

→That’s because there were achievements.

I don’t understand why I don’t understand this.

I’m envious that the Chinese version of Assassin’s Creed seems to be playable for Chinese people.

>>41

Well, before that, a lesbian witch assassin will be introduced.

Do you think it will sell?

>>44

I’m worried that if Tencent buys it, it might get shelved and prioritize China first.

>>41

Hasn’t it already been released as a side-scrolling action game?

In the story of Shadows, there are low-ranking samurai known as “ji-samurai” (who are obviously not part of the warrior class), and if we simply refer to them as samurai, there are quite a range of them from very high to very low status.

I don’t think Rock Lee ever said Yasuke was a samurai.

If Yasuke didn’t wear that flashy armor and instead blended into the darkness with just his bare body, using African throwing knives and assassin blades, there wouldn’t have been such a troublesome debate.

In the end, is it really that bad to wear armor and carry a sword? Is it really coming down to that level of discussion…?

>>50

What seems like a trivial matter is actually quite a big deal.

It’s exciting to see people from different cultures wearing high-quality traditional costumes.

It’s relatively recent that a white person wearing an Indian feather headdress, despite being a child, was captured in a sports magazine or something and became so controversial that they couldn’t leave their home.

>>51

That’s the worst… William of Nioh…

>>54

This is what “it’s safe for the members of that culture to dress” means.

It’s safe because it’s Koei from Japan.

UBI is out because it’s not Japan.

You don’t understand?

I don’t really get it, but they keep saying it’s like that…

Equipment and that sort of thing doesn’t really matter, does it?

Claiming that a novel written from imagination is historical fact.

Using various things without permission is a no-go.

If it’s fiction, it doesn’t matter if a Black person is a samurai or a shogun.

“I just realized that those people saying ‘There are no such descriptions (of receiving a wakizashi)’ are ignorant of the concept of variations in countless manuscripts.”

>>57

That “manuscript” is regarded as a “later creation” among Japanese researchers.

Since it is not used as historical material, it should be completely disregarded, right?

>>60

There is no manuscript that simply makes it clear this is a creation.

There are various approaches to analyze forms that are close to the original by comparing countless manuscripts.

At some point, it often turns out that the part that was said to be the most prototype-like had been added for the sake of rationalization instead.

Someone who is not a noble is bragging about being a noble, so of course…

>>58

If samurai are considered nobility, then the local samurai will also be treated as nobility!

>>62

I am talking about Yasuke…

Ubisoft claims in the lawsuit regarding the discontinued “The Crew” that purchasing a game does not grant “lifetime ownership” but rather “limited access rights.”

https://jp.ign.com/ubisoft-the-crew/79080/news/

The motif of William from Nioh is a serious samurai…

No scholar insists that Japan, which is filled with yokai, is the real history…

If Yasuké had been a samurai, the idea that the Senkaku Islands historically belong to China becomes more plausible.
