Honestly, they should've stopped after Desmond dying in the present timeline. And yes, I'm one of the rare people that cared about present timeline story, because we are experiencing AC games w/ desmond everything he enters the animus.
Now IDK what is going on anymore; something about Juno trying to enter the real world?
That being said, I do hope the live service model is something truly unique; the AC multiplayer games may not been too popular, but I do remember having blast with it, and I hope this does the same
There was a "Juno is trying to escape from the internet" plot running from the end of ACIII though Syndicate. And then they resolved the whole thing in a comic and pretty much never brought it up again except for some oblique and easy to miss references in Origins/Odyssey.
One of the lesser reasons Ubisoft is on the my shit list, because that's an awful way to resolve what's supposed to be a major plot arc IN A VIDEO GAME! "Hey, go read this comi...." "No, asshole, put it in the fucking GAME SERIES IT WAS DRIVING!" I don't care if you want to put Desmonds first Wank or how Aiden got his stupid fucking hat in the damn comics, but if it's important to the games, it should be in the games.
But yeah, I read that and pretty much thought that this is Ubisoft Tripling down on the GAAS they've already been pretty much doing anyway for the past few years. The Division, the shitty MTX in all the recent AC games, etc. And as I've been saying with all the Ubisoft Sexual harassment/"Women don't sell" and the shit they've been pulling with Valhalla, I feel increasingly justified in my decision to stop buying Ubisoft games after Odyssey.
I enjoyed Odyssey but in spite of it's many flaws, generally because Bumming around Ancient Greece and the insane Afterlife/Atlantis shit was enough to keep me going, but that was it. I'm done. And I keep seeing what they're putting out and feeling like I'm not missing anything.
