| 0:00.0 | Have you ever wanted to play a video game where the protagonist is a black Japanese samurai who has gay love affairs with non-binary characters? |
| 0:08.0 | Well, if you have, then Assassin's Creed Shadows might just be the game for you. |
| 0:13.0 | So one of the most anticipated games of the year just came out and gamers of the world simply are not happy. Apparently, |
| 0:22.3 | Assassin's Creed Shadows is just not good. And it kind of ties into what we were talking about |
| 0:26.8 | in regards to Snow White just at the beginning of the week because it seems like there are two |
| 0:31.0 | huge issues here. Number one, the quality is supposedly just lackluster with a half-baked story |
| 0:36.4 | and half-baked characters. And two, the DEI initiatives that Ubisoft shoved into this game are very much on display. |

| 1:14.0 | excited. I think it'll be a ton of fun. And also, of course, if you want ad-free episodes of the |
| 1:18.2 | Brett Cooper Show and a weekly Dear Brett video and a subscriber-only newsletter, you can check out |
| 1:22.3 | my platform at Cooper Confidential, which is linked here. And of course, don't forget to follow our podcast page and |
| 1:27.5 | to rate the show if you are enjoying it. All right, so just a couple of weeks ago, the new |
| 1:30.8 | Assassin's Creed game called Shadows came out and hit the market, obviously, to an uproar of |
| 1:37.4 | criticism, but also publicity. And basically, if you guys have not heard about this game, it is |
