Do you think if Yasuke was Japanese the game would have been a massive hit? 

 

Of course not

The setting was perfect. Graphics and music is jaw dropping but in the end its the gameplay loop which matters.  Sadly its become stale now.

It won't have had such a massive negative coverage especially in Japan and US. These anti woke crowd are far from vocal minority now.

No. You can literally play whole game as Naoe.

What a sh*t game. Ubi should just shop. Spent 10 hours and all I am doing is mindlessly wandering chasing one quest to another like it's a side quest, despite being on main quest. Markers point to a direction and yet you end in a jungle with lot of trees where you can hardly enter and then there is main area. 

 

I liked the start but that's just about it. The game also doesn't explain much. It just wants you to build stuff and explore.

i think Japan as a setting for an AC game seems off.  I’m playing AC odyssey right now and part of the charm is the exploration of all these Greek architecture/buildings and stuff.  Sometimes I just keep wondering across the seas/exploring islands like Mykonos as they are gorgeous to look at.  But in Japan, I highly doubt this would work as the era in which the game is set was just wooden cottages (at least I’ve never heard of any great Japanese architecture in the old times), so I guess it’s just forests/mountains and towns which would all look pretty generic !

But I loved Ghost of Tsushima. Exploring Tsushima was never boring. Feeling is totally off here :/

 

Gameplay is pretty meh. I liked the stealth, even cleared some Temples with lot of enemies. But to my surprise, they re-spawned again. I thought it was like those enemy fortress which if you cleared, it is yours. Then another temple/castle was almost exactly same in setting. Combat is pretty weak and in the start at least, you can't assassinate big enemies but are required to kill them, which means you can't do away without fighting enemies and Naoe is weak. 

You wanna go do the main area, you have do lot chore, meet someone somewhere who is far off the map, which would not be a problem if exploration and navigation is done right. Here you just get lost into a jungle with trees where your horse can't go further but Naoe can. Perhaps there is a main road path but seems to point away from map. 

 

I am also not eager to see what is ahead and how character will progress gameplay wise since it doesn't seem like it will change much.

Turn on instant assassination settings in Gameplay options. When put blade inside a head, then target should die instantly. Guranteed assassination settings is the way to go.

 

 

Yasuke combat does get boring but Naoe stealth gameplay was fun and kept me hook throughout. It gets really fun once u invest in certain skills and builds especially on hard difficulty.

Upgrades require knowledge point. Knowledge point requires stupid tedious tasks.

 

How othe games tackle this, is they give some basic upgrades without tying it into BS side activities, but if you want your character to become strong and cool activities, you do side activities, slightly later in game. By that time, if someone is playing a game, they are already invested in it and enjoy doing those activities.

 

Here they just want us to do those from the start and they are paying homage to a temple or watch back story and some other stuff.

I give up, tried liking this but it’s so bland. Beautiful world and that’s it

I just unlocked Yasuke, and it gets worse

 

So you think Yasuke can just blast out enemies without need of any stealth, but he gets his a*s kicked so fast, I would say faster than Naoe. I was trying to go all in in a small assassinate area mission and enemies just killed him in 2-3 slashes

 

Tried the same with Naoe and easily cleared the area. Unless I am missing something, they clearly have no idea how to make their Ambush character play.

Dying as Yasuke is crazy. Check his skill move sets and all. He very easy and simple to play.

 

 

He almost unkillable tank unless you playing on hard or using under level gear with low defence and damage lol

Skill issue, IMO. Git gud!

For an AC game...
