Assassin's Creed Shadows - Yasuke confirmed Samurai, cope and seethe - coming March 20th

[I eat frozen vegetables]

Ah yes, great launch date to release an already controversial video game on.

You need to have serious steel balls to release a game that can be described as cultural defilement on the 30th anniversary of a terrorist attack. The American equivalent would be releasing a flight simulator on 9/11.

At this point I'm convinced someone at Ubisoft is deliberately sabotaging the game, or engineering it to be an insult to Japan.

First the controversy about that one collectible special edition statuette that had a half-torii gate on it. When torii gates are sacred in Japanese culture, and they'd never build a one-legged torii... the only one in existence is one that was damaged by a fucking nuke. So of course the Japanese considered that an insult.

And now the game's release date was set not just to the day of the worst terrorist attack on Japanese soil, but the 30th anniversary of that attack.

There's no way you keep falling from blunder to blunder like that by accident.
It must be deliberate.

 

[Hagashager]

Lets not kid ourselves here, the March 20th thing is obviously not a big deal. Sure, it's funny to the autists on here but it's entirely possible most Japanese people themselves only barely recall the attack.

The broken Torii statue is a legitimate fuck-up, that *is* 9/11 tier insensitive, but not March 20th. Evidently, other Japanese devs are releasing games that day.

Yes, but Ass Creed Shadows is a game that has offended Japanese sensibilities multiple times before.
Putting the release date on that day in particular is just adding more insult to the mix.

It's not just any game, after all.
It's a game about beating up Japanese people as a nigger.

 

[I eat frozen vegetables]

The consequences of nigger worship cannot be understated.

you don't get it, our entire society is designed as a mockery of humanity itself

 

[Reinhardt]

they should release it at da emprah birthday.

 

[AwesomeButton]

You are all reading too much into it. 20th March is just before the end of Q1.

Sir, your logic and appeals to facts have no place here. Take that outside.

 

[Modron]

Just wait until the first clips surface of the mission where you're tasked with taking down a daimyo with a blunderbuss.

Boss, those are just Japs. Don't hurt them!

Nintendo is releasing a game in the same day, I doubt the japs care

You are putting too much faith into them. It's just that they are that incompetent and/or stupid. I worked with some international teams and in a large company there are many people who does not contribute anything to the project. For me it is completely incomprehensible. There are people who contribute negative work (because someone else needs to take care of what they broke). I would think that in game development this is even more common with bloated budgets and teams. Probably 50% people of those teams can be fired and nothing would change.

I doubt Nintendo's game is about a nigger killing Japanese people in Japan and made by leftoids that hate Japan.

I might be marketing trolling, under the assumption that all publicity is good publicity. Maybe Chinese (Tencent) anti-Japanese sentiments play a role as well?

I actually heard there are esoteric connections between the Irish Aryans and the Japanese, which would explain Ubisoft's seething rage towards nips

 

[Gerrard]

Libs hate Japan because it's the living antithesis of their ideals.

 

[Aarwolf]

So it looks like Ubisoft reconsidered and our big boy is not a samurai anymore

Yup, that's right, all the other AssCreed rpgs are already in GRPG:

A chronicle of a black man's killing spree through Japan needs to join its brothers in GRPG. Until then world will not be in a balance.

It should be in JRPG.

The problem is that you, like other Codexers, aren’t French and have never spoken to actual Ubisoft employees, as I have. If you had, you’d know it’s worse than your worst nightmares. For example, one guy was almost fired and faced an official internal inquiry for harassment simply because he looked at a woman at the coffee machine during his break. That’s just one example among many. It’s a toxic workplace filled with ‘god-king’ managers, the kind you see blogging on LinkedIn, while all the skilled people have fled.
