This game would have been better if they just dropped the whole Assassins Creed association and made it its own thing.
Still, I really am enjoying it. Feels very comfy once you get going and have your ship on the high seas. All the other AC games kinda bored me, but this one is more like just a naval / pirate game on the Assassins Creed engine.
Is the naval stuff in Assassins Creed Rogue as good?
I agree. If not for all the tailing missions and Sage bullshit, I'd love it.
Yes, it is. Explosive barrels are swapped for burning oil, but it is otherwise identical. Goo fucking luck beating the last Legendary Ship battle.
>been playing the entire game as a kung fu master, knocking my foes out and taking entire ship crews with my bare hands
>that ending
This game makes me wish they just said fuck it all to the asses/temps and just go for a full pirate title. I stopped giving a shit about the story after the first game.
Yes thanks for repeating everyones opinion
I disagree as it ties into Edwards abilities and his character development. He's a good guy at heart but just goes off the rails and gets caught up in the pirate life.
What should have been cut altogether though and nobody would have cared is the fucking real life first person bullshit. My god that killed the flow completely.
100% completely agree
I have disliked Assassin's Creed games since AC1 turned out to be a huge disappointment, and black flag is the only one I have completed, but every time they start talking about the assassins and the templars I just want them to shut the fuck up and continue talking about pirates instead
hell, the most interesting part of the story has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the asscreed plot, and is instead the personal journey of Kenway and his reasons for becoming a pirate; where he tells himself it is so he can get enough money to be a good husband, but then realizes that he has been running away from his wife and life all along
>Edward's abilities
Climbing and killing? I don't think he ever talks about or relies on his Eagle Vision, does he?
>then realizes
It only took him..how long? Wasn't it a few years? What a retard.
Its all about the coin, lad.
Kidd sees his abilities and comments on it. Edward acknowledges by saying that he's been able to see these patterns since he was a child.

Lowlands away > Every other shanty.
Ah, I remember that part now. It's been a while.
I actually sold my PS4 copy. Should I buy it again on that or get the last-gen version for free multiplayer?
yea, they should introduce new factions in that series.
They could've done something like that with WD2, but they fucked that up completely.
Fish in the Sea > The Worst Old Ship > Lowlands Away
this game had multiplayer?
whats it like?
dead
>WD has a mission that lets you assassinate the CEO of Abstergo Entertainment from IV
>the guy's ctOS profile says something like "Wanted by the Brotherhood"
>Black Flag has an email between Abstergo and Blume
Things were really picking up back then.
Imagine the possibilities if Abstergo and Blume were to work together. A darker, more oppressive modern setting would be guaranteed. Abstergo would probably make their own Digital Trips with smaller AC experiences, comparable to the Chronicles games but in 3D.
I will never not despise Ubisoft for pissing away that potential with WD2 being the generic trash it is.
yea, i think one thing that most game devs can't seem to do is actually expanding the game world.
there can't be just two factions fighting each other, there has to be more factions which influence these fighting factions. also expanding the world is important, new lands, new continents and they have to be related to each other in some way. connections are important.
Seriously, then we could have had a potentially great pirate franchise instead of shoehorned bullshit
Mostly people running on rooftops and using poison. Not very fun except on this one level with an open center area.
Does Ubisoft have any plans to make another naval game? They must realize that they hit something big with the naval stuff, considering that they bothered to make AC Rogue.
Maybe they can make one as a new IP
I'm surprised they haven't made a pirate IP yet.
>Is the naval stuff in Assassins Creed Rogue as good?
Almost. Enemy ships can ram and board you, which is something. But the different weather really takes more out of it than you'd expect.
Storms, for instance, really had an appropriate feel of "holy shit this is coming down" and "fuck me fuck fuckshit cunt water spouts ahead!". The northern snowstorms and shit just lacks any of that impact at all.
i think AC:R had better story but otherwise was pretty mediocre.
What a fresh perspective. Never seen this opinion here before.
>Is the naval stuff in Assassins Creed Rogue as good?
Yes, the naval stuff is the same as in Black Flag i.e. complete shit.
Yeah I loved battling other ships in an intense storm, then being suddenly being faced with a rogue wave out of nowhere as I'm struggling to line up my guns. Yelling "BRAAAACE" to the crew as the ship is turned almost vertically going up the wave, rain pouring down, as I get lucky with the angle towards the wave so that it destroys the enemy ships but leaves mine intact
Raven's Cry was better.
I used to agree but then I warmed up to the story. It's a personal story, like Ezio's. Of passion, of revenge, of sorrow, of silver lining. The AC stuff complements it nively and doesn't get in the way too much anyways.
Leave her Johnny is clearly the superior one
Problem is there are pirate games out there, but their simulationist angle doesn't appeal to most people. And character action is nowhere near as good as AC games handle it.
WHY THE FUCK DID THEY NOT DO A SHIP BASED MULTIPLAYER
It was the only AC game I've been interested in thanks to the pirate setting, which they did perfectly
