"NO REAL PIRATES WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS GAME" XD

Beat the game. Currently at 88% complete.

In terms of overall quality, it is the best Assassin's Creed game ever made. It has a lot of issues (again, most of which are the same issues going all the way back to AC2) but regardless, it's a great game.

One of the things I completely admit I underestimated was how well a pirate game would make for a stealth game. I thought it was just going to be another yearly AC game with some great maritime gameplay beside it. But being able to raid cave hideouts, raid warehouses, having to be stealthy at sea at times, and even shark stealth all made me realize how wrong I was. On top of that, they restored things that were missing in AC3 such as assassin contracts and added the Templar Hunt sidestory stuff. In the end, the assassin and pirate stuff ended up melding together. I mean, the stealth mechanics are still clunky and lazy in a lot of areas, but i'll admit that Ubisoft did more things right than wrong this time.

The story was really good. The best in the AC series so far. It avoids so many of the pitfalls in the stories i see in AAA games these days.

My absolute favorite thing, however, were the last three missions. They're a throwback to the spirit of AC1. Even though AC1 is incredibly dated, it had a spirit to it, a real heart, and an identity that I felt was slowly diluted since then. The last three mission surprised me because they returned to that very spirit that I've wanted to see breathed back into the AC series so much.

*Plays Freedom Cry*

*One of the first things they do is give you a blunderess*

So the story is about a black man with a shotgun. How expected. XD

All 3 of the AssCreed games are on sale at GS right now for all systems.

I might pick up Black Flag for PS4, but I think it's cheaper just getting it digitally from the current Extended play sale that has Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag Gold Edition for just $5 more.

I'll assume the Gold Edition is basically the game+All DLC, in including Freedom cry, right?

Nothing new to add, but I saw a guest looking at this and it reminded me that the thread title's still hilarious.
