Games journalists about resident evil 5: a forienger mowing down black people is racist.
games journalists about AC Shadows: a foreigner mowing down countless japanese is perfectly okay. 11/10 GOTY
Ubisoft had the chance to pull the AC in Japan crowd, and the starved for a good ninja stealth game Tenchu crowd who would have loved a sneaking around being a ninja doing assasinations sort of game.
Instead we got this.
It's fucking sad that I think the best thing that could happen to the industry would be a crash.
Those picking up the ashes would do so because they want a fun game that caters to a niche audience. Not a game that has to hit sales targets, filled to the gills with microtransactions on account of they need to recoup the GDP of a small country that was the budget of the game or they become insolvent or some shit like that.
It’s very simple: every other AC features period appropriate protagonists that match the dominant ethnic demographic of the setting. AC Shadows is set in feudal Japan, a country that was and remains 95% or more ethnically Japanese. So why did the male protagonist have to be basically the only black guy confirmed to exist in the country at the time? And why is he upjumped from a slave and a curiosity to the most powerful samurai in the land?
