Hey guys! Sorry I’ve been quiet here on late.

I know the majority of you are not here for my gaming content but I had the incredibly awesome opportunity to review the new assassins creed game on my favorite media outlet show, Kinda Funny. NORMAL posting schedule of reactions will return very shortly!

Thanks for being here 😊

Whoa. That's awesome, I didn't know you chopped it up with those guys?!

Dan M

Yeah, I’m not really into gaming, but because it’s you, I’ll check it out. Who knows, maybe this will spark an interest in gaming…probably not 😂.

WOW. I love Kinda Funny, I had no idea you were affiliated with them! THAT is so damn cool. Personally I wont be playing this game, not a fan of the disrespect Ubisoft has shown towards Japanese culture and all the intentional dis information about it pertaining to the the Japanese. However I will watch this because I love Kinda Funny and I know you have good intentions with this game and if you enjoy it, then there is nothing wrong with that. However for those that are not aware, ACS is blatant disrespectful game inaccurately representing Japanese history, culture and symbolism. On my own principles, I wont be playing this.

I've already told you how great you were on there, but it's worth repeating. You're always so good on these shows and your reviews are always so good also!

Strange decission to get involved with a game that has gathered so much hate allready. Why not let it die in peace?

BläTäN

Well said and 100% agreed.

To be completely fair, this isn’t unique to Japan. Most all AC games are not accurate in any capacity to culture or history. It’s a video game and not meant to be taken as historical fact. As always, I recommend experiencing it for yourself before drawing any kind of conclusion on the game.

Baldemort

Ive personally played and enjoyed almoalst every AC game, havnt played any of the spinoffs though. The first few games up to AC 3 will always be my favorates. Ezio will forever be in my heart. However my conclusions about Shadows are not my own but come directly from Japanese content creators who have reviewed the game and even a lot of them are boycotting it. After watching this review I get the feeling that Greg Miller knows this but didn't want to say anything. At the end of the day, to most people if the game is fun to you who cares, but just know that many people arnt gonna pick this one up.

I met SnowBikeMike and Bless at Pax last year and have been on the show twice before. Literally love getting the opportunity to go on the show!

Your message before the shoe really helped put me at ease. Once we started it just felt like I was on the Trophy Room and I was really comfortable!

LiteWeight Gaming / Reacting

Well since you’ve played all of them, you know they are all horribly inaccurate in terms of history. What is it specifically this time that bothers you?

Baldemort

Ubisoft specifically didn't have permission to use a lot of things from their culture like the Bhudist statue and sacred temples. They tried to make Japanese crests and symbols, but turned out they were Chinese, which shows incompetence, and despite the critisims, refused to change them or take them out of the game. Stuff like a destroyed tori gate from WW2 being used as a pre order item, on top of their horrible pricing practices to name a few. However if you even search what a lot of Japanese creators are saying about this game, you'll get an even deeper look. The historical accuracy is far from the worse things going on with this games development practices. Matter a fact Ubisoft made the mistake of actually claiming this game to BE historically accurate for several years, when they can't even get the distinction between Japanese and Chinese cultural symbolism correct. Its just cringe to me.

Baldemort

to clarify. I hope you don't take what I have said about the game as critism toward you as a creator. Ubisoft did hide a lot of their intentional dishonesty with this game which got called out a lot and as somebody who has learned a lot about Japanese culture the few years. this game just does not sit right with me.

scott osborne

never played assassins greed it just dont intrest me i have an xbox sitting on my self staring at me and iv not played a game for almost 2 years and im not missing it

Last assassin creed game I played was Origins. Tried odyssey and quit after like and hour and I haven’t looked back. This looks more or less the same so it’s a hard skip for me. I wish they went back to their Ezio days style if gameplay. More basic and allowed them to focus on the story more.

LiteWeight Gaming / Reacting

Yeah… lots of misinformation out there from people who have never played the game. Just like my students I would challenge you to seek out perspectives from both sides. As someone who played the game for 70 plus hours I can confidently tell you that during your first interaction with a Tori gate a popup splashes in your face saying you can’t climb on them to protect their sanctity. The game is constantly incentivizing you to pay respects, pray at different shrines, learn about the culture in codex pages. Not everything is perfect in games. Full stop. But much of the information out there is from people who are engagement farming based on rage (the internet in its purest form today). This cycle repeats and repeats. Yeah the devs made mistakes at first, but they delayed the game 4 months to work on the many cultural errors.

Baldemort

Not sure what I said is mis information. You can even watch how Japans Prime Minister brought up how disrespectful Ubisoft has been with with this game in a hearing just this week. Japan wants nothing to do with this game. Pointing out some of the big red flags with the inaccuracies with their culture in this game isnt rage bait. Quite literally Japan is not happy with this lol. So many people are intentionally ignorant about these things in fear of not liking something they enjoy, or to save face to those around them in fear of being disliked. Anyway thats all ill say about this. Dont want to say more in fear of getting banned.

Have you ever been to San Diego Comic Con?
