Here's the gameplay trailer 

 

 

I know AC is like CoD where people hate on it. Some reasons good, some reasons I think just because it's cool to hate. Honestly I thought this game looked so good I didn't even realise it was AC for the minute. This probably a day 1 and one of the games I'm most looking forward to this year

Ever since Origins I think these games have in some way a certain 'walking simulator' aspect to them. I wouldn't be surprised if about two thirds of my playtime with Odyssey was a combination of walking, riding or sailing around the world, and I don't even mean that as a point of critique. I really enjoyed the sightseeing aspect of that game and it's probably the main reason I gave up on Valhalla after 40 hours and not after ten.

 

This does look nice, too. But I'm not going to throw full price at a DRM disc, it'll have to wait until next year.

Not quite as drastic, but you can't install it without an online connection and the jury's still out whether it works offline after that.

 

I guess it's not technically DRM because it's just a case of not all the data being on disc, but it's enough to push me away until I can get for a sum that better aligns with my conscience.

PoP is worse, that actually needs to be online all the time, except on Switch.

 

I remember reading that tweet about Shadows, but I've had so many different experiences on Xbox about what works and what doesn't after an install that I'm just being super picky about what I buy on that platform now. But I don't want to derail the topic, I think we went through all that stuff last page already.

Maybe Japan really does hate this game, too. 
 

There was a thing a while ago where Ubi put a statement to their JPN fans about their being a black samurai and AC is a work of fiction, etc

 

I can’t remember it fully. But I thought it was a way to show racists JPN was actually supportive of this game

 

But I guess no, JPN hate the black samurai as well?

Yasuke has appeared in Japanese works a bunch of times.  Whenever a black samurai turns up it's usually a Yasuke influence and/or reference (Afro Samurai, Nago from GG).

 

The controversy was manufactured but even so maybe they still want to avoid it.  I don't think AC games are the biggest there so some calculation was maybe made.

Yeah, I just read on Eurogamer they’re taking lessons from Star Wars Outlaws which didn’t sell very well by the sounds of it

 

Not sure what line to draw between the games, though. I mean it’s only 4 months, not a particularly long time in to make sweeping changes
