#Not to mention the fact its horribly frustrating because the modern Assassins do nothing but take Ls and be incompetent... Seriously

Yes, but you can argue that there are 2 types of people, by this point, that want the Modern day story line gone:

1 - People who think its boring (because honestly, they are, even if you are invested, Ubi really sucks at integrating these to the plot) and would rather just play a history game, which is their right, but yeah, it kinda shows you enjoy the games, but don't care about them that much.

2 - People who got REALLY INVESTED into it, and were looking forward to where it was going only to see it dropped like nothing...

I am 2

My investment in the modern day plot was lost recently, because it feels like UBISOFT does not care about it, it feels like THEY are willing to throw it to trash as soon as something they think will sell better comes along, even you admit that! So, IMHO, why bother?

Like, Juno has been this threat that has been build up from almost the start of the series, all these clues and tidbits pointing out to her wanting to come back to life, enslave humanity again and to the only to defeat her being to unite the Templars and Assassins in such a way that they synthesized, put their BS aside for what really mattered: the good of humanity! It was going to be awesome!

And then they didn't! Then they just-- Comic book... Because Ubisoft likes to pretend AC is a multi-media Franchise, despite the fact the rest of the world disagrees with them, but oh boy, won't they insist on that?

And then, after that they ask you to be invested in Layla, which is super hard after they kill, not only Desmond, but the PLOT he was the "main character" off, but we try-- And then they kill her too!

My problem with getting invested in the modern day is not the fact I was bored by the segments in the game (tho I was, again, really badly integrated and would often cut into the action of the game, but sometimes in-animus moments have that feel too, like the prison in AC3), its the fact they NOW MAKE ME FURIOUS! I replayed a lot of the games recently and every time I had to do modern day stuff, I got pissed, because I remembered "Oh yeah, this is pointless isn't it? Juno is just going to get killed in a comic book, so why bother? Then Layla is just going to die so some dude we just got introduced to can rehash bits of the Juno plot, but from the perspsective of the Sage and with a son this time, so why bother again?"

So yeah, If we had this talk between Syndicate and Origins (that got me so invested in the modern day plotline I STARTED WRITING A FREAKING FANFIC THAT WAS LARGELY ABOUT A THIRD PARTY HELPING DEFEAT JUNO! Fuck, I am still writing it, now, at least in part to let my frustration with THIS out), I would have 100% AGREED!! Like... "You can't take the modern day storyline, not now, not when we are getting so close with the confrontation with Juno!"

But now....... Why bother? Like, the series don't even feel like AC anymore, so I rather just play an anthology of historical fiction games, than go through this "get invested in this plot we'll abandon at the drop of a hat please!" stuff again...

Whenever someone says, “Assassin’s Creed should get rid of the Modern Day storyline” I immediately discount their opinion on the series.
