Ubi, it's $70 and people are vary of your mile wide puddles that drop 75% in price after half a year

Yeah I was wrong. He's based off of Jules Brunet who was a french officer that trained the Tokugawa samurai in the use of modern weaponry of the time. He sided with the resistance against the emperor of Japan until he was evacuated by a french warship later on when the resistance was defeated. He wasnt a samurai by any means but he was a real guy
It's also not pitched as being based on a true story. I take less issue with him becoming a samurai than surviving the last real samurai, lol.

How do you act like you have black skin, for instance?
You're right. We should absolutely, not once, not ever, have a person who doesn't perfectly, down to the finest detail, match the description of the character they are depicting act for that role.
I saw a local stage play of madame web where a woman played a male character. It literally wasn't even a distraction and they sold the character well.

Yep! And it's really surprising to me that so many people are OK with that sort of defective-by-design anti-feature. It's a single player game, why would it have any dependence on networks or servers of any sort?
Not to say that I'm against digital distribution altogether, I think that's a perfectly valid preference w/ pros and cons.
But if you are going to sell the video game on a disc? Shipping a whole playable game seems like a pretty low bar to meet. Most games (that get a physical release) in [current year], for every year that exists so far, don't have a problem managing to do this.
... Are there discs that can contain 123GB of data? Should they just start distributing tiny solid state drives you plug in to your pc and play from?

The highest capacity blu ray disc can hold 128GB

Why do people manufacture arguments like this? Who is arguing that one is okay while the other isn’t? A couple random people on the Internet?
The only thing I can think of is The Last Samurai is a 20 year old movie and that somehow means not bringing up this historic fictional movie = you’re okay about a white dude becoming a samurai but not okay about a black dude becoming a samurai.
Whataboutism at its finest.
Did it not occur to this person that perhaps some people just don’t care about the movie, haven’t seen the movie, or plain just didn’t bring it up because it’s a movie? Is it “double standards” for one to pick their battles and not be enraged at everything all the time? My god this shit is exhausting.
Disclaimer: I have no opinion on the game itself because I frankly don’t care about it because I’m not the biggest Ubisoft fan outside of Rayman. Nor does the above necessarily reflect my opinion on the game’s history accuracy. I’ve always loved The Last Samurai and Memoirs of a Geisha though and find both beautiful and touching films, so make of that as you will.

when you dont have arguments that fit with what you want to do, you make up your own.

Fair point, some games are very big. FFVII Rebirth and Baldur's Gate 3 shipped on 2 discs though, it's not unheard of.

In the same way that someone replaced all rainbow flags with confederate battle flags in Spiderman, someone's gonna mod the game to change the character's texture, then racists will also be happy (unless the game is shitty idk).

They fit GTA V on a single disk on launch. Sure, textures were blocky and effects looked like piss but you could play the entire game offline.

I like how OP also chose to do zero research of all the controversy of the Last Samurai, and the years of PR control.

Meme of Giancarlo Esposito / Gus adjusting his tie with the caption "You won't buy Assassin's Creed Shadows because you're racist, I won't buy it because Ubisoft games are shit. We're not the same"
I hate that I'm on the same side as the racists though.
Thanks a lot Ubisoft.

The story's title is in reference to "The last of the Samurai", not Tom being a Samurai, and the last one.
Kind of reminds me of Big Trouble in Little China, where the story follows a white guy, and the true heroes are in the background.
That's the narrative shared by the studio which I begrudgingly accept. Even though the title and Tom being the face of it muddles it a lot. And I also don't consider it a good movie.

Australian method actor and five-time Academy Award winner, Kirk Lazarus, can explain.

You said "finest detail".
What are you smoking?

Game seems cool, but it requires a download to play. They don't meet my basic requirements for a game I'd even consider buying.
My basic requirements is that it's a good game from a respectable company.
And even if it is a good game by reviewer standards, Ubisoft has been an awful studio to the game industry for the past decade. From sexual harassment lawsuits to investing in web3, shutting down servers that causes single player games to lose features, having their own storefront, being creatively bankrupt with their releases, nickel and diming their product...
Not the worse mind you, but easily the bottom.
Buy it when it's $5 on steam in a few years.

Commenter sounds like they would complain about Arial being black because her original character was white.
You really wanna defend that?

Wait are you taking about cartoon mermaids and their skin color? You know, because of mermaid science?
