Haven’t used it yet as it has no backwards compatibility. Its just sitting on my media unit waiting for its pal to arrive. 😂 BTW mine didn’t come with that button design feature posted on the previous page! Edit: Or it’s so small you can’t see it with the naked eye. RangersMedia and Rum Ham 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only get yanked out of the animus every so often and it's only for a very short time. It's not like it was in the first few AC Games.

It's really only included now for those who interested in the wider lore, it's possible to skip through it quite quickly so you can get back to putting axe's through heads.

I know the Animus is the underlying driver of the entire series but I feel its just a ridiculously overblown plot that in hindsight was completely unnecessary. No one plays the game for it. People are attracted to as you say, the historical gameplay. Tbf it's not just her, most of the modern day characters are slavering morons. The writing is so bad.

There's a pretty hardcore fanbase out there who love it. It's niche as fuck but some people are just utterly daft about the animus and the lore. Like yourself, I've never really been a fan, it was a neat a concept in the first game, but that's where I ultimately lost interest. These days Ubi know that most people just want to slice their way through mythology, however as you've said, they've kept the modern day part just to link everything together. All the extra shite about Layla is basically optional bar the odd wee "breather" that is typically used to allow a time skip in the historical part i.e travelling from Norway to England. You really have to go out of your way to suffer it. The writing in the AC series has always been a bit shit. Fortunately exploring their open worlds and the general gameplay typically makes up for it. McEwan's Lager 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

God of War - Ragnarok killed me when I realised they continued with Kratos and just shifted him into a Norse world. Come up with another fucking character that makes sense ffs.
