DAILY MANIFESTO

AC: Brotherhood Stabs a Cameo, Hides it in this Post

Posted on Wednesday, November 3 @ 19:28:30 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff

Lately, all the best easter eggs and bonuses have becomes shameless marketing opportunities. SPOILERS ARE IN THIS POST.

Again, there are Spoilers in this post. I hate it when games are spoiled for me. I don't want to do the same to you.

If you've been keeping track at home, this particular alternative skin for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood might not seem that... shocking.

If you're not happy intimidating the citizens of ancient Rome as the stubbled Ezio Auditore, try on the bionic man-child ninja skin shown here. We've already had the opportunity to sneak around Metal Gear Solid 4 as Altair, so playing as Raiden in Brotherhood should make things even.

I'm a fan of this kind of cross-pollination in any way, shape, or form. Game developers showing that they're fans of one another make them less like faceless, corporate entities and more like real, breathing human beings. People. Like you and me!

Now for the AC: Brotherhood watermelon cameo reveal.

As a bonus: check out the latest AC: Brotherhood commercial below

You guys of course must realize that since duke left, you've been posting too much in the manifesto every single day. Literally within one day things that were once on the homepage are now not on it.I say either change the manifesto, or stop swamping it. Perhaps you guys could just put all the nonsense into a day review and then leave the meaningful, real gamer news, to the individual posts, such as the California case? I've been coming to this site for worthwhile info and reviews for what seems like since Diablo 1 came out, and usually there was something worth reading, but now its just seems like some Facebook manifesto. I realize that pointless crap managed to get onto the site with duke, but I feel that its in overdrive right now. I doubt that most people do much more than glance at the homepage for useful stuff, so whats point of all those posts that aren't on the front page within a day if they aren't reaching your audience? You do what you want though, I'm just sayin'.

@ Ranim,

Thanks for the input. We're actually working on a solution that separates the Manifesto from the day's news content.

We want the Manifesto to be filled with more meaningful content, but we're also trying to bring fresh news content each day to the homepage so you "do much more than glance". We're trying to engage the audience frequently, daily.

"I hate it when games are spoiled for me. I don't want to do the same to you."

So why the hell did you post this, Dan? Listen to Ranim... and those posts from a few days ago where pretty much everyone said that too much filler is being posted every day.
