Got no idea whether AC is good or what any of these reviews actually mean or if the game is good or not

Here are your choices: Put another 20 hours into assassins creed before confirming it's still shit or watching five hours of youtubers ponder the same question

From what I can tell it's very typical Assassin's Creed junk food. Doesn't do much different than the previous games so depends if you liked or hated those

Didn't read but they gave it an 8. Not great since Veilguard is a 9 on their scale.

Seems like they should've just focused on one character and put all their effort there tbh.

But even more disappointing is how people are saying they didn't do Japanese culture that well and it's mostly superficial. We waited over a decade for AC Japan, this should've been an absolute home run on that front at the very least.

User banned (3 months): Misogynistic and racist rhetoric over multiple posts

I mean, in this situation you are, because going "I can't take seriously a game with a girl in a sailor outfit" was condescending.

I would equally not want to play a video game about a little boy, if that helps. I don't think it makes me a misogynist. I think im just too old for this. The aesthetic looks neat. There's nothing wrong with it lol. I just can't get immersed in a horror game where my player is the kid Bobby Hill plays DDR with in Tokyo. It's funny. Don't tell me it's not a little funny. Not everything is a battle dude. It's like getting mad at me because I don't want to play the new Hey Arnold Halloween game. This isn't sacred it's entertainment.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Concern trolling regarding misogyny across multiple posts

You have to realize how insane this sentence is. What do you mean "fantasizing about girls starring in horror stories"? You can only see having a teenager girl as a protagonist of a horror game as having suspicion reasons? Why? Because the game is japanese? That only reads worse.

Specially when you are making this argument about the inherent weirdness of... wanting to see japanese girls leading horror stories... while in this very thread there are lot of women excited at the prospect at playing a female character. Your view of what the game is doing is so marred in bad-faith I don't even know how to reply.

You can see a lot more than that.

The devs decided that the most interesting trope about *1960s Japan* was yet another school age girl wearing a mini-skirt and a uniform, which apparently gets ripped over time, one assumes as a result of the attacks from the monsters in the game. But we're excusing how exploitative that alone sounds?

And in 1960s Japan, that's all they could come up with? No post-nuclear politics, no post-war dealings, no violent mines strikes, nothing. Yet another school age girl in a skimpy uniform is what they thought would be an interesting take and a fun thing to watch getting attacked by horrible monsters. Brain-dead decisions.

Assassins creed reviews confirm that Yasuke's gameplay is a boring and a confusing addition. RE is eager to jump to racism claims

The concept of Yasuke as a playable character makes no sense

Why so? What's wrong with him?

Racism

I assume

Well you are wrong then, as this seems to be rather common view amongst reviewers.

Isn't Gene Park close with Colin Moriarty?

Not sure that one's beating the racism allegations tbh

https://www.resetera.com/threads/assassins-creed-shadows-review-thread.1137903/post-137187051

Imran khan shares the a similar sentiment though.. like it's not a witch hunt. He thinks he's fun to play but undercuts the design of Naoe.

A opinion needs to be vetted by at least 2 PoC to be deemed not racist.

We live in a capitalist hell hole where every product you own is funding a CEO that is as bad Elon musk. They're just being quite about it…

I don't really care what happens to Tesla, I don't care if people decide to sell/torch their Tesla's and when people finally wake up and the guillotines come out I'll be the first to cheer on musks beheading.

Having said all of this, where is this disdain and energy when it comes to everything else… why arnt we boycotting apple, meta and amazon… or is the tesla boycotts a bit performative to gain Reddit karma from peers? Is it just easier to boycott when you had no interest in buying the product?

Going from the poll results, it seems like most people in here never had a desire to buy a Tesla. So the animosity to the brand comes easily… I wonder how that animosity would transfer to Apple if Tim Cook was throwing Nazi salutes and dismantling democracy… I bet these polls would look a bit different

To answer the question, not owned a Tesla, I did want a model y but was too expensive when I was in the market in 2021 and got an EV6 instead.

My mum has a model 3 which she bought in 2022, she loves the car but hates Elon. She's going to keep the car until it dies, and this is much better for her financially and for the environment than selling it to then buy another car.

What I fucking dumpster fire of misogyny and patriarchal privilege.🤦‍♀️

Just this forum is just a bunch of guys who just don't understand their default privilege on these issues and feel happy to debate women's equality...FML 🤦‍♀️

I ain't wading through 10 pages of that, but I can already guess how some of those pages look, based on past threads about similar topics.

I've kinda just come to "accept" that some guys will simply never "get it". Either they just don't care or don't want to, or they're just oblivious to how little they actually know while believing themselves to be "allies" and talking over women instead for them, or even just, y'know, letting women speak for themselves.

There's absolutely nothing the left can do to appeal to certain men (another common thread topic I see often), because ultimately they don't want to recognise their privilege or have to accept that maybe some of their problems are internal, not external. The coddling of insecure and emotionally immature men that the right feeds into is just far too appealing for them, what motivation do they have to try and change and do better when they can just blame everything on women, LGBT+ folk, "liberals", non-white people, etc?

Kyuuji

I suffer from something with a lot of overlap with BPD (and is frequently misdiagnosed as it) so I feel you and I'm sorry you have to deal with it.

What conditions are often misdiagnosed as BPD?

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) symptoms can overlap with other conditions, leading to misdiagnosis, including but not limited to bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and even autism spectrum disorder.
