So they do make breakfast cereals.
Forgot one. |
Pixel Thief Posts: 429 Joined: 7 Jul 2008 | I think my portfolio is a little too Kidnapped VR Assassin-heavy. I really need to diversify. I'm thinking of picking up something in the zombie plague or rogue AI market. |
Muckraker  Posts: 239 Joined: 24 Oct 2007   | I think you should consider buying some stock in underpants collection. Yeah, I think there is a basic explanation for where Abstergo came from and what they're doing buried late in the game. Something about inventing awesome technologies you take for granted and inheriting tons of cash from the Knights Templars. At no time is it ever suggested that VR Assassins are somehow their main source of profit. Towards the end though they do indicate that the company also poisons water supplies and engages in other unprofitable evil activities. I also think it's pretty great how they're using the VR to search for the whereabouts of artifacts 700 years ago. So if in the ensuing centuries anything has happened to these items the information is worthless. |

Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 539 Joined: 12 Mar 2008   | Yeah actually Assassin's Creed is a subversion of the usual "EvilCorp Inc." They explain how Abstergo makes their money exactly and how they plan on using Desmond to further their goals. So you're wrong. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1013 Joined: 4 Dec 2007 | Wow, Shamus. I'm really sorry to say this about the comic, but what happened to your grammar here? In the first two cells, you have "kidnaped" (which is technically correct, I think, but rare and you disagree with yourself on the spelling in a later post). Then there's the disagreement of tense between main-character's first and second cells (which is slightly understandable, but still frustrating). Then there's an oddly placed comma in the last speech bubble of the second cell. Still a great comic, though. One of the best in SP, I think. |

If you just let out the "So you're wrong" part, you would have been spared of an owning ;) |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 4297 Joined: 20 Dec 2007 | While I agree with everyone that we should get some more games that need a good satire, I'm also one of those "Rehashes are ok as long as they keep bringing back more of the good" kind of people, so for what it's worth - I don't care if the majority is gonna be AC and WoW. |

He'd feel like he was playing Shadowrun. |

Stolen Pixels #19: Assassin's Greed
It's easy to see how The Umbrella Corporation planned on turning a buck, but one must wonder at the company in Assassin's Creed's plan for financial success.
