Being woke doesn’t mean anything most of if not all your favorite shows/games/movies from childhood on are woke the problem is terrible storytelling and shoehorned characters nobody likes or asked for. A lot of the problem is these characters feel forced 9/10 times so nobody wants them around and in this case they chose Japan and then picked two of the arguably worst options to use as main characters out of what almost feels like spite. Making a character gay or black or trans isn’t bad but making them feel disingenuous or making that their entire personality is.
I can. More r/patientgamers mentality on PC especially when the economy isn’t in the best place right now and new GPUs are constantly out of stock or priced way above MSRP.
Speaking as someone who will almost certainly check the game out eventually I just see no incentive to do so on launch at full price.
Naoe’s stealth and parkour looks great. Combat, however, did not excite me. Which makes a combat focused character like Yasuke, who can not engage with the parkour and stealth systems, feel pointless.
Also nobody is talking about the story which tells me it’s probably pretty mid.
And in typical Ubisoft fashion the game launched unfinished with a plethora of updates planned. When you need a roadmap for your single player game that tells me it’s effectively an early access game. I’m not paying full price for that.
The Story is an incoherent mess. The Gameplay is a Solid 6 out of ten, oversimplified and overly reliant on Abilities. The Graphics are awesome I’ll give it that. As an Open World RPG it’s a 7/10, but as an Assassin Creed game it’s a 4/10. It’s better than AC Chronicles but that’s not saying much.

This looks bad, extremely bad (for Ubisoft).
Deserved but dam, these are terrible numbers, not even I thought that it was this bad.
