......and is this sci-fi entertainment company behind every game in the AC series? Because i going in i thought it was just going to be the pirate story and this whole other aspect to it feels kind of unnecessary and im not liking it so far.
But im really early into it so that might change. Whats the general consensus on it? --- 'We're not gonna make it, are we? People i mean.' 'It's in your nature to destroy yourselves.' ... Copied to Clipboard!

AC 1-3 had a more connected modern day story element. That got wrapped up (poorly) at the end of 3. I suppose by Black Flag, they thought the modern day connection was a staple of the franchise and felt the need to include it, even though it's entirely pointless now.

Ac 4's self-aware meta parody is one of the few times the modern day story was tolerable, just for the humor part. I had no idea they were so self aware

No, it's still there in newer titles. Even though literally nobody cares. It's even the basis for the stupid movie that also nobody cares about. --- "That thick shaft that causes women to shudder!" ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah, pretty much. They're not always an entertainment company though. They're basically like the bad guy in an old cartoon that has a new scheme every episode. Which they justify in-universe as they're just absurdly huge and have a division in every industry imaginable.
The video game thing was just their way of making it meta. It was kind of a cool way to incorporate the III spinoff, Liberation, into the series as a while even though it didn't have a modern-day story of its own. It was pretty cool for the first several games (except Rev), but in III they kinda sorta not really ended the story and had nowhere to go with it, but rather than taking it out, they just slowed it to a massive aimless crawl and threw in a buttload of collectables nobody cared about. --- 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 ...

It's there in Odyssey/Origins, but just barely.
Black Flag is my favorite classic AC, but the modern sections are some of the worst. At least 1-3 had a story I actually somewhat cared about. --- *runs out of topic naked* ... Copied to Clipboard!
