Id say Yasuke seems to be overly milked for such a minor historical figure, but theres certainly nothing wrong with the game over it.
Literally the perfect game to be about some hidden Ninja village shit and instead they got you playing Nobunaga's bodyguard.AssCreed has been trying to become Dynasty Warriors for a while now.
The trailer made me want to play an Assassin Creed game. Which one is best? Theres a bunch on PSN.Origins, probably.

2,4, Syndicate, OriginsOdyssey is basically generic arpg which is either great or sucks shit depending on what you were expecting.
Odyssey and Valhalla are OK but waaaaay too bloated.
This isn't even the first time Ubi's taken a minor character from history and written them with secret ties to the templars/assassins or written new history for them...I'm sorry but da Vinci, Machiavelli and Alexander VI definitely don't count as minor characters.
Would not be surprised if nearly everyone plays the woman.I would be 100% down for a game that lets you switch between them like in Syndicate
It is important to note that despite popular myth and modern depictions there are no historical writings nor evidence that Yasuke was ever granted the rank or title of samurai, he was never given a fief nor referred to as one in any writings. Most of our knowledge of his life comes from these messages written by missionaries and locals.
Based on William Adams from history, yes.Wellthatwasdifferent.gif
I don't think when people say Samurai they mean a literal Japanese feudal noble most of the time. Like when people say "I want to play a game about Knights" they're probably not thinking about Patrick Stewart and Elton John.True but now that you've opened the door can we please have a game where you play as Patrick Stewart and Elton John

Samurai_Man's right though, they're in the wrong to call him samurai.
Have they ever used a real person as a protagonist before? I know they like to sprinkle them into the story but this seems like a first.

Most of the time when I hear knight I think King Arthur, etc. never once have I thought about Elton John or Patrick Stewart, lol even tho they are technically 'knighted' by the queen.

Well now I have to buy itYeah I can't lie this will be the only single ass creed game I will ever buy day 1 just out of curiosity with the samurai yasuke thing.

William Adams was a well-documented Englishman who actually had a pivotal role in Japans history.Are they used as whataboutisms or are they being used as defense. In both cases you have a known historical figure.
People bringing up Nioh and Shogun as whataboutisms arent being clever.

If youre outraged about a black samurai, why arent you outraged about a white samurai, basically.
Which obviously doesnt work when we know the white samurai existed and actually played a part in Ieyasus campaign.
It went in reverse too, like with that garbage article about why arent there black people in Shogun, when Yasuke was from a different era than the time period Shogun took place.

Fucking hell, how many Ass Creed games have they made already? I've only played the first one and it was waaaaay too fucking repetitive for me to not play any of the others.A ton. They used to make one every year.
It's just oddly convenient when it's a Black guy people go ballistic. But, a White guy? Sleep or "Shut up woke nerd".https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/2/2df0a0e5.jpg
I liked this take on it.

Notice how they staunchly ignore that Kassandra and Woman Eivor are the canon protagonists.
I don't remember anyone complaining about AC3 having a Native protagonist in a game taking place in Colonial era America. Makes you think about how much social media discourse has ruined everything.
