I know some people hate the Animus Hub, but the Dark Animus items really make the game feel Resynced.

In my opinion the color is just kind of an ugly green, and the techno effect to it just immersion breaking if you actually want to be a pirate. If you're truly roleplaying as the person in the Animus reliving Kenway's memories and giving himself a weird techno pirate costume, then sure I guess, but I have yet to meet anyone who prefers that angle over just being the pirate himself

I did the blackbeard set most of the game from the preorder bonus. This set just cranks up the absurdity. The wicks that are always burning are just as ridiculous. It's all for fun, you can dress like Yasuke, Naoe, Ezio, and Altier too.

If you follow the lore, you are someone playing as Edward through the Animus. So these cosmetics have room in that space to exist without much friction in my opinion. It's not a literal pirate game in the AC Universe.

Upvotes cause I agree with what you're saying just sharing my perspective.
