      God I hope we’re in the matrix. I refuse to accept this is the reality now.

        If this is the Matrix then it sucks, I don’t think it’s supposed to suck this much, everyone would take living in Zion over this.

    fictional Templar-run evil Assassin’s Creed gaming company Abstergo Entertainment

    Did anyone else get a headache trying to parse this run-on description?

      I would have struggled if I hadn’t gleaned the premise instantly as soon as I saw the logo.

    As funny as this is, it’s also a very common logo, being a varient of the Penrose Triangle. Honestly more shocked they didn’t spring for some better graphics…

      it would actually be funny if they bought Ubisoft, because they’re the ones that make the Assassin’s Creed games, not EA.

        In the next game, they’ll shift the story so Abstergo to becomes the good guys, destroying the entire backstory from so previous games.

        And it’ll be written by AI, including the dialog being AI generated. I hope it fucking tanks.

            Yep and honestly I think it’s one of the better Assassins Creed games. It shows that at their best the Templar’s are trying to guide humanity into its future, while at their worst the Assassins are children playing with powers they don’t understand. Mind you that’s within the fact that the Templar’s are power tripping assholes in most games. I kinda wish we could get a Templar equivalent to Origin, perhaps have the Templar’s emerge out of the collapse of the Western Roman Empire after witnessing the Assassins being stupid with an artifact.

          I mean, as it’s made by ubisoft, it would be pretty funny if they leaned heavily into the evil Abstergo storyline as a dig at EA.
