Assassin's Creed: Valhalla is Ubisoft's last chance to fix Layla as a character...

Originally it required internet on PC and consoles. They may have patched it later

>Nobody plays AC for modern day fuck off.
There is no "modern day" per se. Remember that in Assassin's Creed, everything is a simulation. It's all a hostile simulation trying to get rid of the humans through natural disasters, wars, etc. You exit and enter the animus, and you're really just simulation hopping. You're not a real person, user. You're just a computer simulation of a real person. Is there a real world at some layer? Maybe. Maybe not. But unless you escape, the simulation is going to kill you. AC is basically the Matrix, but with "what if Zion was just another Matrix" being canon.

If you're not interested in the story of an ancient civilization that created humans as slave labour and potential fucktoys, before they were wiped out in a great catastrophe, leaving their mentally handicapped slaves in charge of the planet, you're playing the wrong series. I sometimes think that some people use AC as a substitute. They don't actually want AC. They just want some historical RPG series instead. They demand that AC ditch all its unique elements knowing full well that they'll jump ship to a competitor the moment it comes along. Never pander to the people who want your IP to lose its unique aspects. Because those people won't keep coming back.

Shit lore introduced by Odyssey. No one cares

Interesting if true.

who?

...what the fuck did I just read? I have no idea.

It's weird how many people don't realize that Desmond's death did fuck-all. It just made the simulation go "Rerouting..." for a few years until it found an alternate way to kill all the humans since the sweet-ass 2012 solar thing didn't work. I always wondered if the nukes in Far Cry 5 were the end of the world from AC. The Isu use veeeeeery similar phrasing to Joseph Seed.

>AC Origins: "The Doomsday clock, tucked away in an office of the University of Chicago. Its needle moving as the years ago. The node is near. Perhaps you knew. Perhaps you felt it too. That the world is closing in on you."
>Far Cry 5: "Something is coming. You can feel it, can't you? That we are creeping toward the edge."
It seems to much of a coincidence that the Isu are warning that the Doomsday Clock is about to strike, and they use very similar terminology to Joseph Seed, which has genuine prophetic abilities, as does Faith Seed. It's not impossible that Joseph is a Sage.

No, it was introduced by Origins. And it was based on ideas kicked around in much earlier games. The idea that the Isu were interested in time travel/changing the past was present in AC1, but it has come to the forefront since.

i havent even played ac since i beat 3

god the buildup and promise of modern day shenanigans in 1 and 2 was such a good hook

fuck ubisoft to hell
