Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag

[GlowBear]

Thrilling subtitle. May as well get this in.



From IGN:

the newest Assassin’s Creed game features a new hero and time period

[Tarvu]

Pass.

[Arttemis]

The naval parts were definitely the highlight of 3. I would love this game if its main city was Port Royale, Jamaica as a base of operations to recruit sailors and swashbucklers, with the rest of the game is sprawled out in a hugely open Wind Waker Caribbean. This series sucks ass at stealth, so piracy with kick ass cutlass swordplay sounds like the only way to make the game not a giant disappointing mess without a compete overhaul of the AI.

[GlowBear]

I actually could do with this game having very little boat shit happening.

[Arttemis]

Wait, a pirate game without a pirate ship? I don't think it would be a pirate game anymore.

[GlowBear]

I am a contrary woman.

I'm wondering who will be outside the animus and if we're still on Altair's lineage. Also you couldn't have a female protagonist in the 4th game...really?

[Edd Strid]

Liberations could get a port but that's probably how far they'd go with that sadly.

[Tarvu]

I remember when these games were about being an assassin.

[Arttemis]

Everyone remotely interested in pirates should read Pirate Latitudes, the posthumous discovered manuscript from Michael Crichton that was published recently. Awesome story of a 'profiteer' in Port Royale.

Best part has been the ability to move Baby Ezio's limbs.

[Hector Garfria]

They're going to run the series to the ground aren't they

So it's not about anarchists? Disappointed.

That was an awesome ass book. Read it a year or two ago. Need to dig it out again.

Going to? It's already terrible, the consumers are terrible too though.

[Corduroy Turtle]

It's disappointing that this series focuses so heavily style-over-substance. I feel like they spend more time creating beautiful trailers and designing the flashy UI than actually building compelling missions and interesting gameplay.

Also, I count 4 guns on that dude. How many arms do you guys think he has?

[Tarvu]

Single shot pistols. He ain't planning to use them all at once.

Boo. No buy.

Black Beard carried six on his chest.

[Revuhlooshun]

Why doesn't he just carry an uzi? Shits take up way less space yo.

[The Defenestrator]

I was going to write, like, three paragraphs about this game and work in as many Black Flag song titles as possible but I respect you guys too much for that.
