There are plenty of ways to make the Animus work. The problem is a) clearly the main focus is a simulated historical architecture museum. They spend so much time focusing on the world building of the past and just exposit on the present day. So instead of it having a cohesive story, all it does is pull you out of the part they worked so hard on. It's the same as when games arbitrarily add clunky minigames. And b) the only story going on in current day is so batshit that it's hard to take any of it seriously. In the pastx the characters are fleshed out, you understand why they do what they do. In the present it's all just off the wall aliens and corporate espionage mixed into a single narrative.
If the present day stuff had the same kind of gameplay as the past, I don't think anyone would have an issue.

they should just announce AC:Valhalla is in a separate dimension created by the Isu. And you're playing in current day in it, not some animus bullshit. And all the crazy norse lore? Yeah it's all real, more or less. You're on midgard fighting the british and now and then you've got to deal with some Nordic legendary bullshit created by the Isu.

Might be more popular if you could just go to war with California liberals as a Viking Army. Can you imagine 12,000 vikings landing on the shores of San Francisco?
brb, gotta fap.

I tend to marathon games I play and I rarely go back and replay a game like this. Is there any reason not to just do Ubisoft+ instead of buying outright? Even if it kicks ass that means I'd play for 60 days instead of 30 and still save, just wondering if anyone has done Ubisoft+ and if there is any downside maybe I'm missing.

No, that's exactly what I do with every Ubisoft game now. You get the ~$120 version for $15-30 (15 if you decide you don't care about the DLC or even just wait to play it when you've subbed for another game entirely... 30 if you go out of your way to sub again just for the DLC) which is about what Ubi games are worth these days.

Thought this was coming the 16th for some reason. But glad I got the AMD rewards mail today on how to claim the game for preload tomorrow.
Edit: Great success, AMD rewards does not work so can't get my key. Sad times.

Yeah aside from Alexios and Cassandra it was pretty much the same there as well. Was still a great game though.
