I’m actually looking forward to an Assassin’s Creed game for the first time since AC3, has the modern day story gotten any more coherent?

I still can't believe they haven't just ditched the modern day stuff
At this point I agree. I loved the modern day stuff up until the end of 3. But then Black Flag just made it a boring slog with maybe one or two good ideas.
In AC: Odyssey it gave you the option to outright skip the modern day sections
Not any personal interest in Black Flag? Tbf, my opinion is that it's a great game but not a good Assassin's Creed game
I can't believe they didn't create any mods for BF, could easily have been like Skyrim in terms of longevity. People would have added full on trading and fleet mods like the old school Syd Meyers games. What a waste of dev time to create so much potential and justet it die.
Ubisoft did finally make a stand alone version that's in beta right now. Skull and Bones. They promised all the cool stuff we wanted and it's totally separate from assassin's Creed, but unfortunately they seemed to have botched it and there's even fewer features than in Black Flag. Ubisoft just doesn't seem to be able to make anything else except progressively worse AC games.
Hey! They also can drive Far Cry and all the Tom Clancy series into the ground, while also forgetting the rest of their beloved series even existed.
Oh I loved Black Flag but I wasn’t excited for it like the previous titles and the present day stuff was just kinda spinning it’s wheels while making meta jokes about Ubisoft.
Very fair! I go back to replay it with excitement and it always drops off my face when I remember how god awful the present day stuff is.. can't believe it took until Odyssey to give us an option to skip
As far as I know - no I played Valhalla and enjoyed the gameplay but the story is just so gone now. I hope this new game has it brought back.
Are they still working on buffing the shit out of the same modern day protagonist as before or what? I only got about halfway through Odyssey (but looked up the ending) and skipped Valhalla.
The most liked AC games are good games, but not good AC games. I've only played certain ones, cause most of them lost the charm the original was going for. Mirage gives hope they've remembered the point of the series.
I find this is the case for most of my favorite series. The most popular entries are usually the ones that least resemble the point of any series.
Black flag is incredibly overrated.
I wanted to share my opinion here because I don’t know where to do it: Syndicate is very enjoyable! I’ve read all kinds of bad reviews about it, but now that I’m playing it I like it a lot. Just my humble opinion from a guy more into the original AC mechanics, not the open world approach.
