Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is one of the greatest pirate games of all time. Why does it still hold up? Let's talk. Subscribe for more: kzitem.info?su...
The pirate genre is one of the most underutilised genres in gaming imo. I'd love developers like Rockstar to make a pirate themed game.

Black Flag was and is one of my favorite video games of all time. The story was a mix between Pirates of the Caribbean and National Treasure, which were two of my favorite movies growing up, and the game had so many perfect little details. I absolutely love that your ship looked visually better for every upgrade you bought for it: cannon upgrades made the cannons look shinier and larger, hull upgrades added more ornate trim and coloring to the ship itself, sail upgrades made the sails look fresher and more sturdy, etc. And the fact that the sea shanties essentially functioned as the radio from GTA games was a stroke of genius. This video made me so nostalgic and now I think I need to go back to it this summer haha

Black Flag was mind blowing on release and I think its still impressive 10 years later. It really just goes crazy on the Pirate fantasy. Sailing ships, ship battles, boarding ships, taking out forts, looking for burined treasure, whaling, exploring underwater ship wrecks and more. It's hard to imagine a game doing the Pirate Fantasy even better.

That's what made Skull and Bones so upsetting to people, myself included. It was supposed to take all of that and amp it up to ten. Instead they reduced it down by ten. Glad I saw it in the cards and avoided it. I think had they not made that promise and never associated it with Black Flag, it probably would've been a lot more accepted, with a lot less negativity. It would've just been a mediocre live service pirate game, rather than a massive broken promise of a Black Flag successor. Honestly, in that context, I could even see a world where it became mildly successful.

I like it. Probably 3. I've played like 5 of them. But for me it's Ac origins, ac syndicate, and then black flag. Or switch it with ac rogue. But don't remember much of rogue now. Hell you can switch syndicate with origins. Odyssey was good. And I stopped at valhalla. My attention went away from that game with in hours.

A true hidden gem, I remember it had the Pirates of the Caribbean Logo for the old Xbox, but it had nothing to do with the PofC plot Lol, the fact you could make your own fleet,Visit City's enter buildings, it was ahead of its time, man you could fight and Invade Forts, for me it's still the best Pirate/SailShip Simulator I experienced , and way ahead of it's time, still Don understand how it didn't get the love it (for me) deserved

The rain is impressive too. But, the story, the characters, gameplay, soundtrack and shanties made me fall in love with this game. Imo, Brotherhood and Black Flag are by far the best ac games.

Did you know about Atlas ? not exactly the "Pirate Life" but more into the OPEN world where the devs kinda wanted to go for that but u know they didnt really help themselves, you choose into wherever u want to do, whether ship building and sailing ( Focus in Ocean ) or Do other stuff like base building ( in the Islands ). It is Amazing how vast the Ocean is moreover there is underwater Islands for extra Challenge. Forget the official sever... any other community servers with good mods(to ease with the grind) you will FEEEL the OCEAN. Spend hundreds of hours in the Ocean... It will make you FEEL how amazing are the Boats.

You say that like it is a bad thing. Out of all the microtransactions companies shove into their games ubisoft ass creed, well at least since origins is one of the "best" (least worse) They allow you to earn and find digital currencies in game and in their meta points system and actually get the cosmetics in game. Yes they are timed base so you cant just get exactly what you want at any time but they allow you to earn stuff in game by playing. That way people like me who never give them a penny for cosmetic "on disc DLC" still get to earn them in game, and the idiots who enable this crap because of FOMO can just buy whatever they want. Only other company I have seen do microtransactions better than ubisoft is blizzards overwatch 1...which they then did a complete 180 and ruined any good faith by shitting the game down and going super greedy with the next game. Damn ass creed valhallah they released the free isle of skye DLC and so much of the opal currency you use for the MTX cosmetics in that game was everywhere on the island, its all free too.

It's the various dynamic, weather effects during a battle, without the game appearing to slowing down or stuttering, that impresses me. When you spy a worthy target. Relentlessly bombarding that ship with cannon and mortar, filling the air with acrid, blinding cannon smoke. Leaving the wheel to 'climb' the rigging via the mast lift, in order to take out the snipers. Jumping over and climbing up to cut down their flag. Then sprinting down the rigging, leaping off for the double take down of the officers. Finally finishing off by clearing the decks in violent, bloody, CQC. All the while dealing with a lightening storm raging, gale force winds, waves the size of houses and violent water spouts. Also all this fun from a 10 yr old game and for just £8 from CEX. Peace All --There is a lot of interesting AC lore and info contained in the various staff computers in the real world sections, locked behind some 'fun', but mundane, hacking mini games. So would say it's worth doing these sections, just for that--
