Didn't know this, and it makes sense - Lucas 'leaves' Star Wars and the story suffers, same with Assassins Creed then...

Thanks for the tidbit.

He didn't say that, he said said Star Wars' story suffered after Disney took over from Lucas, and he's right. Disney has failed to tell a logical, cohesive story with Episodes VII - IX. The prequels are, to a one, very bad movies, and every bit as unwatchable as the sequels have been, but they do have a story that was clearly planned from the start and maintains a coherent structure throughout the first three episodes. The last three episodes don't have that, and they suffer for it.

Anyway, the "sci-fi stuff" in the AC games wasn't always pointless and ineffective. Originally, that was the main story and the linked the games together. Assassin's Creeds 1 through 3 told a single, pretty good story through the modern day segments; which were much more substantial than the afterthought that is Layla's role in Origins or Odyssey.
Even Black Flag had a pretty interesting/worthwhile modern side to it. Ever since then though, the "sci-fi stuff" has been completely throw away and forgettable.

Basically this.
I'll always say that the Desmond era was the best, not because Desmond was an amazing character and that, but because the modern day sequences were so much interesting than what was happening inside the Animus.
Abstergo obtaining pieces of Eden, the satellite, the training machines, the "End of the world", knowing so much about the Isu and their efforts to try to prevent their extinction. Man, I miss those plots.

The modern day segments have ALWAYS been painfully boring. They were interesting at first because they were novel, once that wore off the writing was abysmal and the gameplay was slow.

I always felt like AC3 should have been set entirely in New York, and you'd play as Connor in colonial New York, and as Desmond in modern New York. Just split the game pretty even between two timelines.
