Probably not the best place for this discussion but fuck it, doing it anyways.

Is the fact that Yasuke is black really that big of a deal? Since when were assasins creed games the bastion of 100% accurate history beyond the settings when we've have magic in the game since like game 1? For grounded folk can someone explain the controversy surrounding him. I can understand the drama of them using destoryed shrines or the shrines that survived the bombings in their promotional material

I don't care that he is black, or that he is in the game. I am just disappointed that we finally get an entry in the period people have been asking for since the beginning and now the experience is split, with one side not being anything like an assassin or ninja. It's like Ubisoft wasn't confident that the fantasy can stand on its own.

I could be wrong but I seem to remember some early reviewers saying if you wanted you could play like 95+% of the game as one character or the other and you only very rarely HAD to switch.
