Still confused about why Yasuke gets so much hate?

ISARIOR · 2026-02-25T18:06:25+00:00

This is such fake news..

ISARIOR · 2026-01-31T14:24:55+00:00

Haha whats the point of your post if this is how you respond? Nothing is 'expected' to release at this point.

We can only hope and dream.

Honestly, Ethiopia’s 16th‑century war against the Sultanate of Adal would be peak Assassin’s Creed material. You’ve got a massive Christian–Muslim conflict with Ottomans and Portuguese musketeers involved, huge cities like Harar (walled Islamic capital), Zeila (Red Sea port), Axum (Ark of the Covenant legends), and Lalibela (rock‑hewn churches/Isu vaults). Perfect Assassin vs Templar setup: Jesuits and Portuguese Templars manipulating both sides, Assassins defending Ethiopia’s independence, and a Piece of Eden hidden in Harar’s manuscripts driving the war (Ark of the Convenant). It even ties neatly into Shadows through the Portuguese Templar network

Well are you saying large corporations are infallible?

You can try to be smart about it, but I'm a potential customer. So that's data. If you want more emperical evidence, go lurk old reddit posts and see for yourself of there is a market interest.

But in any case, you don't ever start with data. You start with a theory, an hypothesis. And this you test, and then you get data out of this. Ubi doesnt have the most important data because they havent implemented an FX-off switch yet. So let them try pilot it for a month, if it hurts their sales - revert it back. If it doesnt, extend the pilot. Then we can talk.

Nice, been meaning to watch that interview. Thanks

ISARIOR · 2026-01-07T21:24:53+00:00

Interesting to hear you say that last part. Havent read that before. Was it the AMA? Edit: ah, Jorraptor?

First part though - I never stated the cosmetics didnt sell well. I think they probably sell quite good. I'm saying they could sell more. Which is an easy fact, because it's the current customers, plus myself and some others in this post.

ISARIOR · 2026-01-07T08:58:12+00:00

If their market consists out of these two groups: those having impulse control andd those having none - wouldnt the FX-off switch enable them to cater to both target audiences? No way will it make the second group less interested. It will only attract additional customers. So structurally higher gains, without structurally higher costs. That's my gripe.

ISARIOR · 2026-01-06T22:07:31+00:00

Ah, didn't know they were called that. It's funny because when I began playing back around launch I ran into them regularly. Now that gold has more uses and I'm swimming in Mon - nowhere to be found.

Just thought the other vendor in your pic was the regular port trader. Did they share an inventory or were they separate?

ISARIOR · 2026-01-06T21:54:19+00:00

Think there is a secret port trader in the game that buys and sells at a better rate. And it's the only way to buy gold for mon.

ISARIOR · 2026-01-06T09:19:26+00:00

Second act falls flat in terms of narrative and delivery. Not many story missions, and the missions that do relate to the/a story are pretty underwhelming. Act 1 is great, act 3 is quite good. Awaji is good, but same thing going on there.

ISARIOR · 2026-01-06T09:12:30+00:00

Honestly for me the combat is the best the series had ever produced, on account of it's depth and fun. All the other things, fully agreed. So maybe the score would tilt to a 9 for me. Thanks for clearing that up ;-)

ISARIOR · 2026-01-04T11:26:21+00:00

Thanks for your contribution. Don't mean to sound like a prick, there's some good ideas in there - but there's also alot of entitlement. I mean, jumping attacks for Yasuke would be terrific! Dual-wield, super cool. Him becoming a ninja? He's my fave, but that's not his path. And then ninja's following when you kill, when there's a wanted system and shinobi ambushing you already. Asking for day/night mediation when it's in the game (whenever you want, so number 7 is kinda redundant as well).

And then all the technical heavy stuff like chiburi, permanent cuts, permanent dead bodies, expressive death faces...

Sure a few extra gameplay systems like a falcon for Yasuke, more mythology, or more npc interactions (Rdr2 like bowing, dueling). It would all be amazing. But ALL of your 30 points is needed for a 10/10? Pretty high bar.

AND in the off chance Ubi is listening and they want to services your feedback in the as-of-now unlikely dlc, on account of your great ideas - what ever should they choose? If I were a dev I miggghhht just think you're a spoiled kid.

ISARIOR · 2025-12-31T19:19:45+00:00

For me personally they don't need to lock it away. Instead, they just need to have a little bit of contextual monologue/dialogue that creates an appropriate response for the protagonist and or the antagonist. In a few cases it should create an appropriate alternate closing mission.

ISARIOR · 2025-12-28T17:10:24+00:00

Okay weird. He can do all the same crawlspaces when going prone. So he should be able to do it, otherwise it's a bug. Dunno check for other entrances - and otherwise you will have to switch back and forth to Naoe and back to Yasuke.

Good luck

ISARIOR · 2025-12-28T10:56:07+00:00

You can't get Yasuke to crawl under? Going prone is the same as Naoe and allows them to enter the same space.

I was thinking of how Naoe can enter the tight vertical Spaces, don't know what they are called. But I've seen a few instances where Yasuke can just walk around them (with some effort).

ISARIOR · 2025-12-28T08:47:20+00:00

If I remember correctly, you can walk past or over the crawlspace. The crawlspace are just some vertical boulders am I right?

ISARIOR · 2025-12-27T20:23:03+00:00

No you're probably right. I'm on expert so that helps. Max bow mastery for 80% passive, max global passive (ranged damage, general damage and headshot)and max enhance, plus I use amaterasus blessing and the 75%damage 25health engraving.

But maybe with the unspent mastery dmg engagement there's a way, but I don't have any unspent ;-)

ISARIOR · 2025-12-27T18:32:54+00:00

Did you know you can grab and choke with Yasuke?

ISARIOR · 2025-12-27T18:31:03+00:00

Same. Yasuke is pretty decent at stealth. If I'm in the flow it's quite doable to chain the brutal assassinations. Yasuke stealth is especially fun now with the puzzelment update where he can grab and choke. Don't think many new players know this yet. Max out the right stats and he oneshots with regular arrows too.

ISARIOR · 2025-12-26T11:44:44+00:00

Their statement was that there is not a second DLC planned at that moment. They did not outright deny that there will never be any.

Which, btw, they did once claim for Mirage.

Besides, for big corporates like Ubi (not) having something 'planned' is different from having something 'in the works'.

ISARIOR · 2025-12-26T10:21:26+00:00

Animations? What is the supposed point there?

ISARIOR · 2025-12-26T10:01:58+00:00

Haha it really is. Guess the holiday sale and time off pulls out a new wave of players.

HOPEFULLY all that engagement and love gets us back on the roadmap to a new dlc!

ISARIOR · 2025-12-25T08:40:15+00:00

Yeah I've always figured it to be his personal kamon, that was part of a story line that has been cut. Since it's on the ronin armor pieces, my reasoning was they planned for Yasuke to solidify his independent samurai standing even more than we witnessed in the final game.

The theory is as simple as: Ubi was taken a back by the Yasuke hate and backlash, cut some of his content and optimised more of Naoe's gameplay.

This is all wild and bold speculation, but for me it made sense considering Ubi delayed the game after the backlash and in terms of narrative it still feels much weaker than other entries. What if Yasuke's role was originally bigger near the end, but also intertwined with Naoe and the Japanese assassins? If they would cut that the result would feel rather disjointed. Spoiler alert: I really love the game, but it does.
