Today’s Game is Assassins Creed Black Flag. Honestly I’m kind of impressed I made it too 10 days. I totally expected myself to miss a day on my streak. Also. A few people in the past have asked about posting screenshots in the comments or stealing the idea for their own posts. Assuming the mods are chill with it I have no issues with people doing either of those things. I just want people to have fun

Yeah, the best AC, unfortunately I lost my saves because I uninstalled some stupid Ubisoft tool

The best AC because it contains the least amount of AC.

The best AC is either Origins or Odyssey.

Origins was great, but I’m sorry the best was 2

I don’t hate them as games, but the need for gear to be able to actually do assassinations on the bigger guys somewhat makes it not an AC game any more. Still the same slightly tired gameplay, but the one element that made it satisfying is no longer there.

I made that mistake with AC Unity. Got sent from the 6th section all the way back to the 4th. Nearly a year later and I still haven’t picked it back up to finish it

Unity was awesome too, my only gripe was the crowds, like streets and corridors full of people, just walking, partying maybe, this hanging my then GPU

Please keep going!

Black Flag is one of my all-time favorite gaming experiences. Crazy how long ago it was, covering my feet with a blanket during winter, humming pirate songs while sailing in the open sea.

I get that. I played it originally on PS3 when I was younger. To this day the PS3 controller is just the most comfortable way for me to play it just because of the nostalgia I have for sitting in bed playing it buried under a fuckton of blankets with my head poking out

I way prefer these kind of gaming posts than the gaming “news”. So please keep posting these.

Does the Pirate Ship gameplay in black flag still hold up? I remember everyone used to rave about how good it was.

I will say that I am incredibly biased for this game. To the point that My friends when we play Sea of Thieves always have to listen to me (jokingly) complain about how Sea of Thieves should control the ship more like Black Flag. But I still find that its naval controls is by far one of my favorite methods of doing it. It’s done in a way where it’s not too clunky and you need to micromanage, but it doesn’t take away from the action and makes you really feel epic. At least that’s how I personally about it

I just replayed it for at least the 10th time. The answer is yes.

I’d like to answer as someone without nostalgia: yes it does. I played Odyssey in 2020 and IV 2022-current. The ship mechanics are very enjoyable to me. I beleive Odyseey made it more polished but I can’t actually remember how, so it must not be that important

Would’ve been a really great game if it weren’t an Assassin’s Creed, but just a pirate game.

I don’t see why the name would matter much, it was a great game regardless.

Not the name, the AC game mechanics. It could’ve been an even better pirate game if it had focused on its strengths and dropped the AC baggage.

I disagree. The fact that it was a mix between pirating stuff and acrobatic land exploration helped making sure you never got tired of any mechanic. A game solely focusing on the boat would have gotten monotonous in my opinion

Thankfully the present-time “story” is negligible. I hated that about the series up to and including AC 3.
