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.
But what if I want to play a Japanese man in the Japanese Assassins Creed game?
Then you’re shit-out-of-luck, the same as you would be if you wanted to play Uncharted as Lara Croft.
That wasn’t an option this game happened to provide you.
Nor was it what was being discussed, presumably because most people petutantly wailing “I wanted to play this game but as a guy!” realize how daft that sounds. Just play a different game. It won’t even be that good anyway.
