Tried this and uninstalled. Maybe will try later some day. Game felt boring, it just started with open world to explore and quests around. I did few missions in order to see if missions get interesting but it's pretty generic. I think they tried to make futuristic GTA, which is fine for them since GTA is a hit series but I get super bored with no narrative games. Gunplay seemed fun from trailers but sponge human enemies and weak shooting (felt weak) put me off. I also don't like gta style car traversal, throw people out and hijack the car. Not much for me. Visually and technically the game looked pretty solid especially the light works. Never seen a game before with this much detail and emphasis on lightening and texture. Combine this with open world and it's a pretty impressive feat. Game giving you choices early was also nice. Another thing that felt good was so the arsenal and RPG mechanics but I felt overwhelmed with all the stuff and couldn't really figure out what does what. I am willing to learn all this if the game itself is interesting, but I felt I can spend time playing something else.

Of course not

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

This is called Denial stage.
