    Not very. If he’s African then he’s African I don’t see what the problem is.

      The anti woke “historical accuracy” crowd is getting pissy that an african samurai is represented in a game set in feudal Japan, ignoring the existence of Yasuke who served Oda Nobunaga, who is a pretty big deal in Japanese history.

      And Ubisoft is going to do Ubisoft things and tell a historically inspired but ultimately fictional story about secret organizations running secret proxy wars trying to gain control advanced magical technology from an ancient prehumanity civilization, and how magical genetic bloodlines let you access the memories of your ancestors.

        Part of me wants to buy it to piss off conservatives.

          Don’t fall victim to political marketing, only buy products you want or need.

            I used to really enjoy assassin’s creed games. Every time a new one comes out I get a little bit hopeful. Only to be let down again

              Do what I do, go in assuming everything is absolutely shit, if it’s shit you’re right and it feels good, if its not then you got something cool to enjoy.

                I’m the same way with movies. I just expect a movie to suck. I’m never disappointed and I’m sometimes surprised.

              They were fun until they decided to get rid of stealth. The player character being someone who stands out so much by merely existing gives the impression that this game will probably end up being more of the same.

      An often forgotten historical detail: it was possible to travel to another continent before the invention of the airplane.

        Nonsense. Everyone knows that the concept of travel was invented in 1973, by Henry Kissinger, as a way to more efficiently commit genocide.
