SOMEONE THINK OF THE GAMERS!
Yasuke is actually a fantastic choice as far as history/narrative goes.
A shame the game looks like more generic Assassin's Creed Mapfucking+Crowd Supermurder.
Which is fine if that's your thing, but I haven't been thrilled by an AC game since... well, AC1.

I’ve come to realize I don’t enjoy games that I can’t rp as the character. I just can’t get invested in a story where my character doesn’t look like me. Perfect example is Horizon zero dawn. I loved that game so much. Mechanics and gameplay were great. Visually stunning. And yet I had no problem dropping it for something else. I didn’t even finish it.
It’s not hard to comprehend that as a Hispanic man, I would want to play games with characters that look like me. A simple character creation screen is not hard to make for every game. Let anyone play as any character they want.
Yeah I understand. Still the reason I can't play Sonic to this day. I'm a yellow hedgehog. Immersion is ruined, everytime.
I know you’re trying to be cute but you gave a terrible example. Sonic is a male character so it works. You can make outlandish comparisons all you want but the majority of Americans feel the same and it’s not going to change my personal opinions on my game choices.
lol it's very normal behavior to have an easier time identifying with a cartoon hedgehog than a black man.
Fucking weirdo
So you can relate to a blue male hedgehog more than a black man?
So Sonic looks more like you than Aloy?
I actually hate sonic. HZD is an infinitely superior game.
Cool job sidestepping the question.
the majority of Americans feel the same
I don't believe you. You got a source for that?
Anyway, so you're saying that gender is a bigger gap for you to cross than species? You, a human, are better able to roleplay as a fucking bipedal hedgehog than a human woman? Maybe you should take a step back and try to figure out why that is.
the majority of Americans feel the same
This is a claim that requires a source.
What games do you play? I don't know of many games with a male Hispanic lead character and you apparently need to identify with the lead character through ethic and gender based connections, but not species based connections.
Americans aren't representative of the entire world and to be perfectly frank, I don't trust the judgement of a majority of Americans anymore, y'all make dumb decisions that fuck up the world.
Mate, cmon you can't have personal opinions that don't align with the hive mind or your a bigot.
/s for all the brain dead cunts around here
yes the issue in question is that your opinion is nonconforming not that it's a straight up bigoted opinion
That's a you problem.
Personally, I don't want to play a game with a character creator because it means the story can't reference the character in any meaningful way.
It’s not a problem for me at all actually. Plenty of games that fit my needs. Just as there’re plenty of games that don’t. For people that are suppose to be open minded some of the people here are extremely close minded.
An inability to empathize is not an artistic preference, it's a medical condition.
So we’re shaming people with medical conditions now? That’s pretty ableist of you.
yeah besides the visual appearance you're pretty much a samurai
It’s not hard to comprehend that as a Hispanic man, I would want to play games with characters that look like me.
Absolutely, the only playable game for me as a huge powerful pig man is pygmalion in the Bazaar
A simple character creation screen is not hard to make for every game.
That only works if your character is basically a blank slate story-wise, which just doesn't work with all stories. That's fine though, there's plenty of games out there and not everything is for everyone.
Tbh, even if I live character customization I don't think it's easy and affordable at all for a small dev. You have to make sure all aspects of the game adapt to the choice (models, textures, items, SE, writing and so on). Actually, I suppose it can significantly increase the cost of the project.
