Someone on the Ubisoft team must have thrown out the people who wrote the AC:Brotherhood conspiracy stuff. That game made me more critical of capitalism than most of the poo poo I had read up to that point.

ubisoft really was one of the original Woke Brands, they even had that back-patting message at the start of their games for awhile talking up how diverse their teams are

Who was going to get mad, Italians?

Revelations was the beginning of the dip, and everything from 3 onward sucks rear end. Also, it's me, I'm the one who actually liked the meta-plot and hated every single part of it after they killed off Desmond.

The plot sucks balls, and the crazy conspiracy plot stuff is what I enjoy most about these games, besides running around rooftops while singing "One Jump Ahead" from Aladdin.

get that OUT of my face posted:there's a petition going around saying that Disney/Marvel should give 20% of the earnings from Black Panther to inner city after-school programs and the like, but i'm with RLM in saying that should be upped to 50%. it'll obviously never happen, which is why we need to use force I say 100%, they can still write it off anyway and earn something while pretending to be the most woke brand. Brother Entropy posted:literally the only funny thing about the green lantern movie was seeing the number of normal people sane enough to stay far away from comics go 'uhhh who the gently caress is this white guy, isn't green lantern black' When I first read a Green Lantern comic as a kid, half the comic was dedicated to some other Lantern and I was confused at first but then thought, "Oh, there's a whole bunch of them? That's kind of neat." Also Hal Jordan is the worst.

The new Hitman having everyone in the world speak English in American or British accents makes me almost lament how ridiculously bad accents are no longer in vogue.

The mission where you infiltrate a terrorist group compound in Colorado was weird because they're actually vaguely leftist. Maybe they hastily raise Confederate flags and talk loudly about guns and god and the War of Northern Aggression whenever the cops come around.
