Twitch streamer Zack "Asmongold" has shared his thoughts on a viral clip showcasing Naoe's abilities in Assassin's Creed Shadows. During a livestream on August 19, 2024, Asmongold discussed X user @Pirat_Nation's tweet, which showed Naoe hacking and slashing an enemy in the upcoming game by Ubisoft.
While drawing parallels between the combat systems of Assassin's Creed Shadows and Prince of Persia Warrior Within, the Twitch streamer said:
"This is the new game. Now, believe it or not, the studio that made what I just showed (Prince of Persia Warrior Within) you guys also made this (Assassin's Creed Shadows) . This hasn't even come out yet. It's still being developed."
Asmongold then showed another video showing Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance's combat, which seemed to have similar hacking and slashing mechanics to Assassin's Creed Shadows.
The co-founder of One True King (OTK) claimed that the gaming industry is "going through an idiocracy" because, according to him, new games are "getting worse":
"This (Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance) is from 11 years ago. That's crazy! I feel like we're legitimately going through an idiocracy of video games. They're unironically getting worse. It's insane! How has this happened? Is it the idiot era of games? Well, I mean, we did get Stellar Blade. Stellar Blade, I thought was good
