Are you talking about the Desmond storyline? He died so that of course ended. They do have "modern times storyline" but now you (the player) are the protagonist.
Yea they didn't continue it. I was bummed because I liked the sideplay missions. They downgraded all that to simple informational quests. Basically you walk around the work building and hack into shit. You gather all sorts of evidence of Abstergo's work. Pretty boring, but the last one had a few good moments. Seems like they are building back up to a better modern day storyline. Don't even bother with Black Flag's modern day storyline. It was boring as shit.
Yep that's what it seems like. I loved the first 3-4 games that had those puzzles and conspiracies like you said.
Have you played it? The commericials have me pumped, might have to download it
I did... It was ok but I didn't care for it. Pretty uneventful storyline with bits and pieces of fun. I hated the co-op crap. Every person I tried to play with just went screaming into the joint guns-a-blazin and didn't try to use any sort of strategy. Annoyed the shit out of me so I played everything by myself which was ridiculously hard. Majority of the co-op missions required you to have help, so doing them alone was a death sentence unless you got lucky. The fighting was a lot more difficult as well. If you got into a fight against more than 6-8 people you would have 4-5 of them shooting at you while you tried to defend yourself. Basically it made it impossible to confront more than 4-5 guards at once. And they got rid of the "human shield" defensive move so you had no way of stopping someone from shooting at you unless you lunged at them. The storyline climax was pretty dull. I thought the grand finale fight would have been more epic than it was. After chasing the dude around for a half hour wounding him you fight in a cave like room where he shoots beams at you. I killed him in 30 seconds after entering that room lol.
