And here I thought it was an accurate, lovingly portrayed historical preservation of Japan. Surely, there's nothing in the game that would make anyone think otherwise, right?
Yeah, let's get historical up in this shit!

I thought Ubisoft pulled out of TGS for fear of nationalist protests.
Honestly the hiphop sounds dope as fuck. It's everything surrounding this mess that aggravates the issue.

Ubisoft managed to find compromises to the problems they'd created for themselves by landing on "horrifically racist but the type we find acceptable". Which is a study that needs to be done on its own, as this type of action is what actual Western Racism looks like.

Song isn't bad, but it's also completely misplaced, which might be the actual best description of this game.

They could've made a kickass samurai slash game with a black main character. It could've been goty even. But nooooo, those montrealese, those vancuverites, they just couldn't help themselves, they had to virtue signal. They had to make it about Yasuke, the totally not made up legend of the black daimyo that totally happened (source: academic fraud who wrote the wikipedia page).

They could have had their cake and eaten it too by making the modern day POV character a descendant of him and had Yasuke as a background character while the main character was an actual Japanese person.

Yeah I was just about to say something similar, they could've given him a similar role to Adewale in Black Flag, would have appeased the virtue signaling retards without trashing the plot. Could have also added in their own John Blackthorne aka William Adams as a companion if they wanted to leech off Shogun's success as well.

That's how they usually did it. You were always a literally who, who was in the presence of historically important characters and got to influence or kill them. Them deciding to make you Yasuke is, I think, the first time they made a historical figure (one of) the playable characters.

Fuck all the other Sony stuff, but I popped off like a motherfucker for that Lunar collection. Best underrated RPG series around.

It's crazy, I was literally thinking about those games earlier this week. Something to look forward to.

You think they're not going to find some way to fuck it up?

TLOU1 dragged from its grave yet again. Where would Sony be without their crutch to carry another console.

Massive L for Ubisoft. Especially right after the news that they had to pull out of the Tokyo Game Show. Unlike AC: Shadows, the Japanese actually loved Ghost of Tsushima.

I was debating burning the games onto a disc and playing on my Sega CD. This works out for me.

Oh damn, that's a good classic to pull out for a remaster. I never did finish the second one, but I did love the first one. Not enough to buy a PS5 or dust off my PS4, but still nice to see the series getting some attention.

Would be nice to see the same treatment for some other classics like Wild Arms or something too.
