          That was always the plan you colossal moron, did you somehow miss how Layla was created solely to become the Eve to Desmond's Adam and thus end a plot hook that had been left hanging since 2010? Did you somehow believe she would've become the new face of the modern day forevermore going forward? lmfao

          The rpgs has future completely optional

          >you being a dev at ubisoft
          That was actually kind of funny because they leaned incredibly hard into how evil the company was and needed to be shutdown

          It wasn't just a game dev. They were basically crowdsourcing by having gamers "play" their Animus "games" and utilizing their historical findings in their evil templar plots.

              It's great, I loved it. There's Rogue aswell which is pretty much the same game and it's decent enough but loses out to Black Flag because it's set in North America instead of the kino Caribbean

              It's honestly good at both, the problem is that the melee combat is piss easy and the parkour is clunky as shit.

              There's not much Assassin stuff, but it makes sense that you end up becoming one.

        Liberations is (You) playing through the Animus home system.
        Black Flag was an Abstergo employee named Noob.
        Rogue was an Abstergo employee named Numbskull.
        Unity and Syndicate are (You) playing your Animus home system and the Assassins hack it to show you "The truth".
        Origins through Valhalla had Layla as MC and everyone hated her so they pseudo-killed her off.
        Loki gave his blood to William (Desmond's father) at the end of Valhalla and since it's Isu blood they're combing through it because both the Assassins and Templars have been searching for Isu blood since AC1 or 2, I forgot where they started mentioning going for it.

      Everyone I know that played AC1 when they were in their early teens liked the Modern Day. It was the people that were already in their 20s at the time that wanted AC to be historical GTA and hated Desmond with a passion. Fast-forward a decade and turns out those teens have grown up to realize a franchise with potential was fricked over by morons before they had a voice in the matter.
      The important narrative happened in the present, not the past. Altaïr had already gone through his story, so had Ezio. Their arcs were over, written in history. Desmond's didn't have an end, it was the present. AC1's story wasn't important because Altaïr got his honor back, it was important because the Apple he came in contact with showed the location of other artifacts which Abstergo needed for their plans. AC2's story wasn't important because Ezio got his revenge, it was important because his role as the Prophet was to pass on a message. If you eliminate these jumps in time, the "Who are we, who have been so blessed to share our stories like this? To speak across centuries?" point Ezio makes at the end of his Assassin career, there's nothing left but a bunch of dudes in hoods fighting moustache twirling villains in virtual turism for the next 25 real life years. So Yakuza but in history, less historically accurate and worsely written.
      >It's funny that they stopped bothering with modern day parts
      Yeah they stopped bothering so hard that they created Layla and Basim as new modern day protagonists after people complained about the lack of one during the interim games. As shit as Valhalla is Darby's magical touch gave us one of the best beats of Desmond characterization eight fricking years after his death...

      ...and it even added retroactive characterization for Ezio

        >they created Layla
        and everybody fricking hated Layla, so much so that people don't even remember her arc or actions in Origins~Valhalla, especially with Valhalla where she frickin dies.
        In comparison, everybody at least has a vague memory of what happened to Desmond at the end of every game.
        AC1, he unlocks eagle vision
        2, he syncs up with the ancestors and can fight and parkour
        brotherhood, he killed Lucy and entered into a coma
        revelations, he woke up with determination
        3, he did some assassinating in the real world and died saving the world.
        >Basim
        a character who may as well have had 5 minutes of screen time in the base game of Valhalla and got an asspull of a plot twist that jumped the shark even if you consider that the new Animus created by Layla can let you enter the memories of people using millennia old desiccated semen from an ancient dildo or whatever.

        Layla and Basim were a mistake and they know it because Mirage has frick all for modern day shit. Not even the bare minimum of Shaun and some other Assassin occasionally interjecting like Unity and Syndicate. Even if you try to cope with how Mirage was a cheap cash grab side game, even Rogue had full modern day sections akin to Black Flag.

          >everybody fricking hated Layla
          Because she was shittily written first by that indie cringe comedy ""actor"" Alain Mercieca and then by Ubisoft Quebec who wrote such classic lines as "What's this Greenie, Assassin Christmas?"
          It's telling the one game she starts coming across as a regular fricking character is the one with a competent writer behind it
          >In comparison, everybody at least has a vague memory of what happened to Desmond at the end of every game.
          Yeah almost like Ass Creed used to have actual passion and people that cared behind it. 1 to Brotherhood had Désilets, Revelations had Darby and 1 to III had Corey May
          >a character who may as well have had 5 minutes of screen time
          And yet people liked well enough for him to get a game of his own, get touted as the one good thing about Valhalla and already be compared favorably to Layla without actually having done anything
          >they know it because Mirage has frick all for modern day
          Mirage has frick-all for modern day because it's a Valhalla DLC hastily slotted between Valhalla's post-release DLC and AC Red
          >even Rogue had full modern day sections akin to Black Flag
          You mean the section where Otso Berg acts like a dude we never hear from again is the most important assassin in history just because his work was undone not 11 years later then the game ends with the dude uploading a shitpost virus to the Assassin servers?

            Modern day shit is a fricking cancer they should've excised or treated it as "just a thing that's there" once the people that started the Desmond saga, whether it is the writer, left during Brotherhood or something, or Jade "I'll suck your dick if you buy my game" the producer, left the company.
            As Layla showed us they have zero fricking idea on what to do with it, adding asspulls, retcons, and jerking Layla off because she is somebody's OC donut steel.
            Even just meandering with AC4~Syndicate approach of "guy outside the animus = you" had more value than the entirety of Layla's storyline.

    this would've been a lot more fun to play if it had unity's Parkour. not having parkour down was a dogshit decision. The story was shit right up until the end where it ended in a kino sci-fi scene.

      I thought the same, but 2 days ago I was thinking maybe it's intentional, lore wise. Parkour wasn't that good back then, they didn't know, it developed over-time, just like real-world athletes, if you compare a swimmer 100 years ago to olympic champion now, it's a big difference, so maybe that's the case but probably they are just lazy lol, Unity has crazy animations

                god damn though I'm playing through Revelations for the first time (played 2 and Brotherhood years ago) and going back to the early games, they really are so much fricking better than the RPG games, it's absurd. Revelations still looks really nice for its age, the parkour and quests are a million times better. The combat is easymode but I'd prefer easy mode over the dogshit spongy enemy shit in the later games.

                you think?

                That's because the dumbasses took the combat system of Valhalla, removed all RPG elements from it and called it a day, so all you have left is an almost brain dead system that just wasn't meant to be played that way.
                Not that it was too deep in Valhalla, but without the leveling and such there's just nothing left to the combat.

            To be fair I can't think of many instances where such an intricate parkour system would even be fully utilized in the antiquity trilogy. Mirage has the densest setting since Syndicate, sure, so they probably could and should have used something more advanced, but outside of the occasional city, 95% of the maps of the other three games is flat space, so what would the point have been? Not saying I, personally, wouldn't have preferred it as well, because I would have, but I can also see the justification for not having it and it makes sense.

      Desmond's dad is now basically the main modern assassin. The modern b***h was Layla something or other who worked for Abstergo in Origins, woke up to justice or whatever, and William recruited her. She's gone as of Valhalla because she met Desmond and that's a one-way trip.
