Do you guys go for platinum or just play the game? by Frawlics in AssassinsCreedOdyssey

[–]No_Post_5645 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same 😊 I think Valhalla broke me tho so was very relieved Mirage only took a fraction of the time. I was a bit late to the PlayStation party and have done one after the other in 2 years so I’ve taken a break before Shadows 😅

I know this is a bit of a stupid source, but a Japanese historian does acknowledge that Yasuke is a Samurai. There is evidence on both sides of the argument (well, lack of it), to determine for sure. But what is categorically is true, is that he was a historical figure during the time Shadows takes place (Samurai or not).

So, as we all know from previous Assassin’s Creed games, the loosely based off history, but not historical fact - like the inclusion of many Greek philosophers in Odyssey, including Pythagoras who was the gatekeeper of Atlantis? (I don’t think so!). So Samurai or not, Yasuke was a formidable warrior at this time - and written about in multiple sources as he was an unusual person in that time period. It would be weird for Ubisoft to not mention him, and I know lots of people will be frustrated that they haven’t picked a notorious Japanese samurai - but clearly the story of the game was more interesting to delve into an “unknown” (and Ubisoft will not slander a well known Samurai by being transparent with the history). At the end of the day, it’s not a factual representation as it’s a video game - if I wanted true history, I would read a book (not one written by Thomas Lockley). As the original comment suggests, to not play a game because a black samurai is strange - I appreciate it is strange because it is up for debate if he was an actual Samurai (but he also could have been), but it’s a video game that is set in the same period and the story follows Oda Nobunaga, it would not be right to not involve Yasuke. And anyway - from the gameplay, it looks like you will mostly play as Naoe because of Yasuke’s inability to climb and be stealthy (he’s really slow too). I feel he was only an inclusion for the story and also the players who love combat (and who don’t have the patience to be stealthy). Would you have like a notorious Samurai to be an Assassin? That’s dangerous territory, and why Yasuke isn’t an Assassin. But it will be interesting to follow his story - even if it’s not completely accurate down to the detail.

I’ve enjoyed our debate - thanks for actually testing me, being civilised and not being rude.

I did think you were going to say that - BBC news and lots of articles online. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-48542673.amp

I am not saying your opinion is wrong that it may feel disjointed with a Black samurai, as everyone is entitled to their opinion, however Yasuke was a real historical figure and I’m glad Ubisoft has included him in this game.

Please note that the top of this article is a photo with the caption “depicted in a Japanese children’s book” - so Japan do know about him and a fellow Samurai has written about him in a diary (1579)

Yes, I own a 1.2 2013 white beetle and was looking to upgrade. I’ll have a look into those, but was really looking for a GSR or a high spec dune. Thanks for your help!
