I REALLY hope this isn't a reaction to the worst corners of the internet.

They’re a lost fucking cause

[Nintex]

This game had bomba written all over it and Ubisoft can't afford that right now or maybe they're taking the company private first as the investors suggested.

[Cheers]

Yasuke may or may not be real but I saw plenty of Japanese historians say he existed. Good enough for me. It doesn’t matter anyway. If they had a create a character mode instead, would it be a big deal? Who cares about the sanctity of Japanese representation in videos games? Why the fuck do so many care now??

You know who won’t care? The Japanese! They aren’t going to even play it 😂😂😂 Why? It’s not on Switch, it’s not on mobile, and requires a home system. Japanese gave that up a long long time ago. 

I’ll buy it on sale at $20 and enjoy half of it like the rest. These games are giant fetch quests with slight improvements over last year. The only time Ubisoft truly broke the formula was Black Flag.

[Steven Snell]

Screwing up Assassin's Creed in Japan seems like a special kind of fuck up?

[Averon]

More burka thread members chime in. We have reached the "You're a bigoted chud for liking/wanting to play as attractive characters" phase of the thread:

The mindset of "I don't want to play as someone ugly" is why, for example, games like Genshin Impact whitewash darker characters, and it's weird that a fairly basic kind of interrogation hasn't even been broached here. Is it because it's coming from Nomura that our guard is down? Do we need explicit reminders of how this shit plays out? Like this isn't rocket science here.

This thread is extremely depressing and honestly makes me side-eye a lot of responses in the same way I do the chuds who think every western game dev is making women ugly for diversity reasons.

Also, there's no such thing as one objective standard of beauty, so like.........??????

Fucking clowns!

“I can’t play as attractive characters so nobody should!” 

I love how they’re trying to make it a race issue too… guess what black people like playing as attractive people too!

Being fair, I remember AssCreed games doing decently there and Ubisoft still marketed heavily their games there.

[Potato]

A german says it's ok to harm jews after Israel wrecks Hezbollah and dragonage ads top surgery scars to the character creator and yall are doomposting?

Great content awaits this season.

It's curious that the unrest on thebire has come up simultaneously with the ramping up of the laughing at the Soyny bros.

[Boredfrom]

It looks like the problem may about the build rather than hypothetical Yasuke reactions.  


I imagine Ubisoft is worried about perceived quality issues after Outlaws underperformed.

[DavidCroquet]

It's Concord all over again. Put your money where your mouth is, and maybe you won't have to "complain" about seeing...attractive characters. (???)

I bought Clash: Artifacts of Chaos. Did you?

The people have spoken, we will continue getting Malds updates. 

Let the likes decide your fate!!!

I can't help but feel that the actual reason for this is to continue to brainwash old people into the GOP's open arms via Rush Limbaugh clones on AM radio.

I haven't played a single asscreed game. Are any of them any good? :v

I played Assassin's Creed Odyssey. I think I lasted about 5 hours before dying of boredom.

After saying he was straightphobic and racist against with people, Vtuber fans (as well as that POS FalseEyeD) are making fun of Uki and giving him shit for the sin of supporting Palestine.

Don’t ruin the VTuber thread you fucking dumbass.

[Nintex]

Supporters say they are pushing the bill out of a concern that the slow demise of AM radio could make it more difficult to broadcast emergency information during a natural disaster or other related events.

Probably a good idea with cars being driving computers now. Sorry, your Tesla has an update now you won't hear about the alien invasion.

This is absolutely the reason

Not gonna lie this was my first thought as I've seen its effects on people I know.

My exact first thought reading the title alone before clicking.

Username checks out. 

That's all this is about.

Bingo.

Bonus content:

I don't know why people even still listen to AM radio. Sound quality is awful.

The audience is there and they know what audience they're catering to.

What point is this dope trying to make? "They know what they're doing" he states ominously as he implies that elderly people on death's door are craving shit quality audio...for evil reasons.

[nachobro]

i think the melody stuff is mostly weirdo posting but i also think people should be free to post whatever (legal) stuff in this thread. but in exchange you can't be a little whiny ass bitch saying "go back to resetti" and crying if people talk shit about it

[Steven Snell]

I loved the show and learnt alot from it. Wanna see something very funny?

Blackthorne and Lady Mariko had awesome chemistry. I felt they were really in love by the end.

But watch this interview with Cosmo Jarvis and Anna Sawai. Anna is cool, but it's almost impossible to believe Cosmo is the same actor who played Blackthorne. He is soooo nervous and shy. Watch the first 2 minutes at least:



Anyway, reason for this post is that the source of your avatar, and new Bore favorite Valkaria has entered the thread:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/ubisoft-japan-have-cancelled-their-planned-tgs-online-stream-due-to-various-circumstances.989829/page-2#post-129177045



I see a lot of potential in Valkaria. Has all the traits to be a new ZeoVGM:

1: Asks loaded questions
2: Zeroes in on a couple of words someone makes that go against the hivemind
3: Holier-than-thou, head-up-his ass attitude

And most importantly...

4: A ban baiting bitch

Seems to have gone from They/Them to She/Her in the last few days. So another trans mafia member clearly.

Wow, this guy getting straight up offended at the idea that attractiveness exists.

Also I feel like there's a contradiction there between sideyeing people for wanting attractive characters and at the same time claiming that western devs don't make women ugly for diversity reasons. Like which one is it, are those western characters attractive or not?

or because emergency broadcasts go out over AM radio? dumbest forum on the internet

There are a couple of voices of reason in the thread explaining how this is about emergencies and very much a bipartisan bill but they noticeably get fewer and fewer. One day no one will correct that shit take and B-dumbs will wonder how this could happen

[benji]

Transition is worth it. I've been beaten, abused, stabbed, shot, decapitated, eviscerated, bisected, trisected, genocided, misgendered, cissplained, and had all my limbs forcibly amputated. I've survived more physical, mental, emotional, hypothetical, spiritual, and sexual abuse than any single human could possibly survive. I've been forced to live in international waters after having been banned from all the continents. I'm not even allowed in Antarctica. I've been broken and then repaired only so I could be broken again. I've been kicked out of women's bathrooms, banned from Door Dash, and my cat no longer comes when I call it. And it's still all worth it, because now when someone says something I don't like, I can say "That's transphobic", and that gives me a euphoria boner.

You're just as valid as Etta Munsen.

There’s the argument that beauty is dependent on culture, society, whatever. Usually followed by blaming western values for why less desirable features are…less desired. The guy probably half remembered the stock talking point and went with it.

Bread and circuses, as they say.

Social media and endless content need as many people engaging as possible for as long as possible in order to make money, which means strategies are developed in order to psychologically pressure you to stick around for longer. One more match, one more episode, one more click. Which is really good for the powers that be because every second we waste like this is time that cannot be spent for organizing or developing healthy relationships.

Just as well, people actively seek out these things as a need for an "escape" without questioning why we live in a world that is so shitty we need video games, Netflix, and Twitter to numb the pain. Ideally, our entertainment should be an enhancement or a treat versus literally the only thing we are looking forward to at the end of the day. Even worse is when this need to escape is compounded with media that is decidedly anti-establishment or anti-capitalist to some degree. People can watch Squid Games or play FFXVI whose politics are compelling you to fight against self-destructive status quos for a better world, but instead they're being used as a disposable "escape." It's both pathetic and insulting really.

I spent 5 minutes total this week on Twitter.  I dont feel like the world is so shitty I need video games and Twitter to "numb the pain".  I don't feel like I'm being lorded over by the "powers that be" and being force-fed their services at the expense of developing healthy relationships.   Entertainment as literally the only thing we are looking forward to at the end of the day?  Nepenthe, this is just you.  That's just your life.  I don't know anyone who lives like this, in fact.   I can't find a single person in my life who just acquiesces to "the powers that be" who have every tendril of the capitalists stuck in their brain, forcing them to live to numb their pain.  All projection.

You might think I'm being hyperbolic, but this kind of learned helplessness that is constantly reinforced on this forum creates people like Melody.  Just depression and cynicism as far as the eye can see.  What is Melody's endgame with the e-begging?  "Help me, if you can." Until the next day.  There's no end to it.  Because at no point do you believe you can help yourself.  That's the same kind of hell life Nepenthe is describing.

I undeleted this and moved it here because it deserves all the likes.

[benji]

AssCreed has too many attractive people in white or white-adjacent cultureless societies for me to play them, let me know when I can play Melody Shreds in sub-Saharan Africa.

They scream about “the straights” having attractive characters to look at 

Meanwhile off Reeee they mostly all lust after ‘cute’  loli’,s muscle men or twinks.

Don't think I’ve ever seen one of them express a liking for an overweight or ugly male character.

I think they liked Kyuuji
