This is so tired already. The dramas are so exhausting.
Last Samurai? NOPE. Tom Cruise is not asian.
Batman beginning? You realize he is kinda a ninja?!
Stories need to be interesting. You tell something unlikely or out of place.
If all stories had to follow some code of conduct and strict racial guide, we would only be allowed a historical stories.
Turok is obviously shit because real dinosaurs had feathers.
Kill Bill?! AN AMERICAN WOMAN being schooled by a Chinese master. How unlikely.
It's the unlikely scenarios that make for good stories sometimes.
not the expected. Everyone else is asian in the game and it might be a good story about him being accepted or not.
That said - I realize it's ubisoft so all of what I wrote is not the reason for this... but still. Giving some benefit of a doubt
Absolutely agreed!
My biggest problem with a lot of this is people are completely disregarding this as a fictional work, this is not arguing statistically what is or isn't likely to really occur, this is saying you need to suspend a level of belief to play these video games or really any video game so I never understand this idea of someone being upset that a race in a video game when where are the same fucking people when a vampire or a werewolf or a dragon is in a fucking game? lol
AC is not saying Japan is nothing but black people, AC is saying this game is about 1 exact fucking person that went to japan who was black who really existed and just exaggerate a fantastical fictional story about him.......thats it.
So agree with how odd and stupid this idea of a "strict racial guide" is, make that shit make sense folks.
Who the fuck is out here making a game, not based on what they want to write, but based on some exact statistical idea of likeliness of something base on gender, race, nationality etc?
At this point, let the developer make their game and folks need to just make they own game with their own bullet points, be like "ok, but we can't have jimmy get killed in the Bronx, cause what is the murder rate of a German expat living in New York in 1973, that is 5'6? If we can't get that data, we can't kill him in the game, as how will gamers react to this wild unbelievable thing, BE FOR REAL KEVIN!"
