    Corporations using the AI organization to buy tech to make their own independent ACs so they don’t have to use Global Cortex was always fascinating to me. What rules were made so corporations can’t just have Ravens among their own military group?

      And why AI because you don't have to worry about the human element in your employees. And true while we are never privy to the contracts that bind these corporations to have to hire raven from global cortex only. In truth maybe they never wanted human ravens as they have feelings and thier own beliefs. An ai does as it is programmed to do expect when it goes haywire and tries to kill everyone, but hey think of the money we save.

      It is, plus it really helped with the build up while you played the game as you wondered what was beyond the silent line and when you got their it was very cool to find out what it was and the foe there.

    You know, I noticed something about these AI Controllers, they don't go on a rant or have a personality to say unlike the Nineball AI in the other timeline. It gives me a theory that whoever created the AIs, purposely made them to malfunction after sometime as possibly, a way to force humanity back to the surface after it has recovered. These AIs unleash their final protocols, opening up the surface or the area they were suppose to be defending. However, this would be all in naught as I would only assume that whoever created these AIs, thought that humanity would be united to overthrow these AIs, but it was only a mercenary under the payroll of corporations that would deal this final blow. Seems like history never changes, even when its another timeline.

    Something interesting to keep in mind
    AC3 Controller was named "DOVE" in the Japanese version
    There is a theme that 3rd Gen AI AC are named after Birds, DOVE and IBIS respectively
    Although unlike Nineball the tyrannical AI both seem to show genuine care for humanity and only seem to malfunction on purpose

      @armoredcorelore  Год назад +14

      True using the name of a bird seen as a symbol of peace to keep the wars of corporation in check by meddling with them. Perhaps it creator thought this was the only way to have peace. As for ibis well it association with wisdom and knowledge perhaps it was named this because it was given all the knowledge it would need to protect its layard. But this is all just a guess as maybe the creators just like birds.

    Yesss. Silent Line has to be one of my favorites. The game threw the whole kitchen sink at you, but it really gave a sense that IBIS wanted to protect us from what was past the Silent Line. For good reason too, given what happens following AC:SL
    Always thought it was a bit silly that nobody actually met with the AIO and just trusted them at face value, but I guess that’s the corporations for ya :v

    Armored Core Silent Line is probably my favorite in the entire AC3 Series/Timeline. There's just something so unique about it. So mysterious. Silent Line feels almost like a hidden gem because no one in the fan base seems to acknowledge its existence. Everyone fawns over Ninebreaker and Last Raven as the best games in the series where as Silent Line always seems to be left forgotten. Thanks for shining a light on this brilliant game and getting more people into the series in general. Cheers.

      ​@@armoredcorelore This was a different perspective the devs put the player in for this installment, & one i really didn't realize the weight of the actions of until i became an adult, playing as a child the severity of things like this easily go over your head but as a adult with a developed prefrontal-cortex 🧠 & living in era of mass shootings (specifically referencing to the school shootings we've witnessed these past few years) It really gives context as to the type of Raven the Silent Line Protaganist is.
      There is a clear border behind killing enemy combatants and killing innocents.
      In AC4 when you take out the Cradles with Old King, the game lets you know you've Clearly done something very 'wrong' and your actions have consequences when the other LYNX and your former operator confront you on it: you're more or less labeled a Lunatic by your peers and outcast: rightfully so in a certain context.
      Long story short, the SL raven definitely wouldn't count as a 'Hero' of the series like the other Protags in my opinion. It seems in SL the Raven is really working FOR corporate interest as opposed to against it: The entire plot revolves around serving the corps so they can get into the silent line, and continue their same old shenanigans of driving humanity to destruction for their own interest.
      An interesting morality shift to experience.
