Yasuke (弥助 or 弥介) was a man, likely of African origin, who served as a servant and retainer to the Japanese daimyō Oda Nobunaga in 1581–1582, during the Sengoku period.[2] He was retained by the daimyō as a koshō (小姓, page) for a period of 15 months until Nobunaga's death in the Honnō-ji Incident.[/b]

And while most accounts say that he was African, it's not confirmed and one account said that he was from India.  Nobody even knows what his real name is!  "Yasuke" is what Nobunaga called him.

I wasn't going to play AC whatever. I do think it's lame they have chosen Yuske as a main character when it really should have been a Japanese person.

There is a Japanese person as the main character- the game has two of them.

Call it misplaced pride or whatever but I’ve only now used the translator app when making larger purchases to know I’m not messing something up. It’s easy to figuratively and literally eat the mistake at a restaurant. When I’m looking for a laundry machine, and typically refer to it as a washing machine, and get shown dish washing machines. Yeah. Not a headache I want to deal with.

I really enjoyed Rise of The Ronin myself. Really was kind of an interesting entry into Japanese history and culture.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth-Bloat, that's the word I'd use to describe this game. It took me 100+ hours to finish the game and it would be insane to say there weren't moments of enjoyment. The game's production values should make any jrpg fan scream. Amazing animation and those stylistic cutscenes during boss battles turly live up to the dreams of what HD JRPGS could be. But beyond that you finally have Square capture the feeling and scale of PS1/PS2 worlds. But what they fill that world with, the Ubisoft side stuff is....obxnious and pretty archaic. There's so much of it, it really feels like it makes up most of the game. The stuff you're actually here for being few and far between. That said, I loved Yuffie's energy and playing as her.

Rise of The Ronin-A good game, at 80 hours though maybe too long. In a way it feels like a soulsbourne mixed with Batman Arkham. An emphasis on countering/parrying as you clash rhythmically with other blade users. It's fun and very engaging, but once you find what you like you kind of just stay with it and progression dosen't keep up.  That said, I really enjoyed it. The story was interesting and the characters fascinating as they are based on real people. It's obviously not 1:1 history with the game sometimes breaking it's realism. That said it for sure made me interested in Japanese history.

I am talking about white people because the racist ones are the enemy and try to raise an uproar anytime there’s any remotely black representation anywhere. They are the main ones against this. Those racist crackers and their cracker lover hanger ons.

Then again there's always a new outrage every other fucking week im really done with that bullshit too
its just a lot of grifting for the wrong reasons

I never hear an outrage about the 70$ filled with microtransactions, season passed out the ass, 130$ play 3 day early edition and get these extra missions, online required to install stuff

And thats just as annoying and probably even worse for the industry

next to this entire grifting bullshit

So Ill just go watch Shogun, play Ghost of Tushima PC Port and report back on how it is :)

Ah yes Shogun, the story that makes a cac a centerpiece of the story. No problems there. It’s blackness that’s the problem.
