While looking into this game I immediately noticed gamers trying to turn it into another front of the culture war by pitting it against the new AC game with the black samurai.

"See, Ubisoft? This is what REAL respect for REAL Japanese culture looks like," they say smugly while gesturing towards a game set in the United States that's a deliberately over the top and silly mashup of 80s and 90s Japanese pop culture and zombies in a ridiculous alt history premise made by a Chinese studio who explicitly said they are constructing the game purely out of stereotypes.

Who cares that Yasuke was an actual historical figure? This game has a replica of the inside pool that thousands of Japanese pornos were filmed at

I hope the game doesn't get too co-opted by these people though, it looks a bunch of genuinely delightful garbage and is the first time in ages I've actually wanted to try a game that's coming out.

Also it's funny to see gamers now calling China and Chinese developers based after games like this and Black Myth Wukong. We're like one Chinese game with big anime boobs in it away from every gamer declaring their undying loyalty to the CCP
