Today’s game is Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag. This is one of my favorite games of all time. I first played through it on PS3 when i was younger and have fond memories of it, especially the story. Though Unity will always have my favorite game play, Black Flags story will always be one of my favorites.
I went ahead and played through the entirety of Sequence 7 today. I even did some of Sequence 8. I got this fun photo of the sunset while capturing a fort shortly after that. It kind of reminds me of Pirates of the Caribbean with that scene where the flip the boat while sailing into the sunset.
After which i went and played checkers against the AI. I ended up in a tie after 40 minutes. I got a screenshot of this guy passed out on the table to commemorate my win.
Though Unity will always have my favorite game play(…)
I love seeing another Unity enjoyer around here. That game is severely underrated and had it not had that disastrously buggy launch the AC franchise could have gone in a completely different direction than the open world RPG flavour we ended up with. Plus, revolutionary Paris is one of the best realized video game cities of all time, it’s just beautiful.
the launch definitely killed Unity’s success. Syndicate was still in a similar vane but i miss the outfit customization and the multiplayer. The online aspect brought a lot of fun to the game
I keep seeing this game recommended, might have to try it at some point. By the time this was released I had already lost interest in the franchise.
it’s definitely one of the best in my opinion. It has good Story and Gameplay and the graphics hold up surprisingly well for it’s age. My suggestion would be to pick it up on sale, because most of the Assassin’s Creed Games go on sale for like $5-$10. I’d be surprised if this one didn’t
Black Flag was/is such an enjoyable game. I always wanted the option to have an npc take the helm so I could head up to the crows nest and just chill out, watching the sea pass by and listening to the crew sing shanties while we sailed off to wherever. Still holding out some slim hope that some modder will randomly take up the task some day, hah, though it seems like the modding options for BF are very limited, judging by what’s available.
That’s what that new pirate MMO was mentally supposed to be
