Wow, it's kinda fun

Wow, it's kinda fun

COME ALL YOU YOUNG SAILOR MEN LISTEN TO ME

I'LL SING YOU A SONG OF THE FISH IN THE SEA

I had fun with it but the assassin parts really bogged the game down. A perfect example of how trying to make something fit into an existing brand just ruins the end product. Should've been an original IP.

The rigging on Stede's ship bothers me to no end

>mfw Edward actually uses proper sailing terms at the helm when instructing the crew

While its a bit fun its still just Assassins Creed.

Some with Shadow of Mordor. Its fun for like 4 hours, but then you realize you just did everything the game has to offer in the first 20 minutes

>go to island #50
>kill/pass the guards
>pick up some shit
>repeat

I liked it the first few hours.

want a qt black bootyfull gf desu

>they finally listened and made an original IP out of it
>it has less features and is multiplayer only
How are they still in business?

Replayed it about a week or two ago.
God it's a lot more shit than I remember. Why is this the one everyone shills for?

>not sailing around and causing mayhem

Best shanty.

I feel like they pick up on trends like 3 or 4 years late

I THOUGHT I HEARD

THE OLD MAN SAY

It also becomes stale, there's no fun when all you have to do is watch for the waves and aim your guns, destroying spaniard ships is just fun for a while.

Why?

It's great up until the point when real life episodes kick in. I nearly dropped the game at the second instance. Fuck that shit annoying as fuck.

Sailing around the world and fighting ships is fun. Unfortunately the actual story missions are god awful.

Because it was the best Asscreed since Brotherhood and it was great fucking around as a pirate and building your own ship and crew.

Can you name your ships in this game?

>attack the same three ship types over and over again so you can increase your metal so you can attack the same three ships over and over again slightly faster
>attack copy pasted forts over and over again
Such amazing mayhem.

Imagine how sweet the game could have been if it was basically trying to be Sea Dogs or Pirates instead of just being Assassins Creed 3 with some simplistic pirate mechanics slapped on top of it.

I don't think they understand why people liked it. It's the whole package that completed it, just sailing around fighting other people with a couple more customization options for weapons isn't going to be as fun as getting to wander around on the islands you can land on.

>have to play on lowest settings just to get 30fps
>meanwhile I can run shadow of war with settings maxed out and get 80+fps
I installed uplay for this garbage.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOWLANDS

O of all the money, that e'er did have

>CAPTAIN FANCIES A SWIM!

You could argue they turned it into a new IP to bring what AC:BF didn't, which is multiplayer. When they already have multiple MPs struggling to perform though, and only one of which has seen a successful resurgence, not sure I get why they keep making MP game after MP game, when they're just stretching their finances and the community's time thin.

It's clearly not a pump and dump affair, they're still sinking funds into Division, Honor and especially Siege.

>sailing around, fucking shit up, plundering
>goddamn this is fun
>I should probably do more story quests to unlock further shit
>Why is everyone calling that chick a dude?
>'big reveal' she's a chick and is an assassin
>gets all fucking preachy telling you to stop having fun and start killing people you don't agree with
>shitty stealth sections where you can't murder assassins

I just wanted to plunder, pillage and whale.

You can't rename the Jackdaw but you can name the ships you capture and add to your fleet for the trading minigame.

>it was the best Asscreed
It has some of the worst missions in the series.
>and it was great fucking around as a pirate
Yeah for 20 minutes before you realized that was all the content you are gonna get with no variety what so ever.
>building your own ship and crew.
You know what would have been actually nice? Being able to buy and upgrade new ships, and your crew actually having some noticeable effects or personality and not just being boarding stamina bar that is almost impossible to deplete.

Every time I jump down I have a fear of shark appearing. Fuck sharks in underwater missions as well. Fucking niggers I will kill and skin you with my harpoon.

That sequence had me emotional.

What the fuck. I have a 10 year old toaster and even I can play it on high.

Sure, but name me a better Asscreed since Brotherhood.

See how the sails are sitting up top? That's completely wrong for this type of rigging. The sail is actually attached to both the top and bottom gaffs (those pieces of wood sticking out towards the stern) and in order to control the sails, you raise and lower the top gaff accordingly. They don't just drop down like a square rig.

So there's my autistic post about sailing in AssCreed. There's other things that bug me too but they're not as egregious.

Revelations.

WINDY WEATHER BOYS, STORMY WEATHER, BOYS.
WHEN THE WIND BLOWS WE'RE ALL TOGETHER, BOYS.

So your main ship is always the Jackdaw? You can't replace it?

I'm playing it at the moment and my takeaway is basically, the pirate parts are good times, the assassin parts are boring as piss, and the modern day parts make me want to fucking kill myself.

No but you can upgrade the hell out of it

A brig should not be able to take on ships of the line like it can in late-game, but there you go

Yes.
It grows bigger with upgrades though.

This game was fun but had some terrible missions. Some of the most bland missions ever. Way too many 'eavesdrop by sneaking behind two characters having a conversation' mission. Its almost a great pirate game, but its bogged down with IP baggage

salut

Fairly certain it just gets some slightly altered textures if you upgrade the armor.

They're all kinda fun.
Great chill games.
Unity was the best

LOOOOOOOOWLAAAAAAAAANDS, LOWLANDS AAAAAAWAAAAAAAYYY!

rogue is better

Maybe, I didn't bother to compare. Mybe it gets bigger dunno, but It has more cannons on deck with more upgrades.

I consider the story in the game a fun tax, honestly. You gotta get through it to unlock more fun shit to do. It seems like usually, you only have to do a mission or two before you unlock a new feature to fuck around with.

tedium tedium pyrate fun tedium tedium

Cannot unsee

I loved unlocking the diving bell.

Exactly what I mean. You gotta push through the story until act 6, and then you get this cool diving mechanic, and have a reason to go back to old sections of sea again.

I get that they did it for the sake of gameplay, because gaff rigs can be a pain in the ass. Just a personal grievance from someone who's spent a lot of time on the water

You can't replace it, but it does visually look different the more upgrades you get for it. So does Edward but he's for the worse sadly, the leather additions to Duncan's suit look really out of place.

I hope Sea of Thieves does it better then.

I swear I remember reading that it was supposed to be a new IP and then it got transformed into an assassin's creed but I can't find the source to my claim.

The only Asscreed that gave me feels.

And to think that Edward went through all that shit just to be murdered in his own house, fail to protect his family and have his son turn into a Templar

Serious question, though

WHAT DO WE DO WITH A DRUNKEN SAILOR?

WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH A DRUNKEN SAILOR

WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH A DRUNKEN SAILOR

WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH A DRUNKEN SAILOR EARLAY IN THE MORNEN

>horrible FOV
>hard-locked 60fps
>barely any assassinations in an ass game
>everything else copy-pasta like every ass game besides the expanded ass 3 sailing
Wow it's kinda shilly here.

LIVER, JOHNNY LIIIIIVEER

>LIVER
I bet you think this song is about a woman, too

>Shilling
>For a years old game being given out for free

Yeah, OK user.

I hate ubisoft.
He was killed by no name nobody thieves then even that was retconned to everyone he ever knew that fucked him over was a fucking templar

I've always been confused about this.

I thought Edward just added a leather vest, but what happened to all the blue in his outfit?

>Know nothing of ship design
>just go around shooting shit and and doing pirate things
>see this post
>still know nothing about ship design
>continue

Ubi pls, even if you give out your entire catalogue tomorrow you will still suck.

>he doesn't know that the stunsails on the in-game brigs are only meant for light winds

sea of thieves better be fucking good or i may have to kill myself. If we can't even get a normal pirate game then my dream of a VR pirate game will never come true

Always do the opposite of what Sup Forums says. The last "good" AC was Brotherhood, and maybe Revelations.

Revelations>Brotherhood

Bad bait

I guess not knowing anything helps me not get annoyed at inaccuracies.

Black Flag is still my GOAT Assassin's game.
I have Rogue as well I never played and heard it's more or less the same.
Maybe I'll try that out after I'm done with Origins.

I liked the tower defense game of Revelations

Every AssCreed protagonist is tragic for a variety of reasons.
Altair had his son, wife and best friend murdered by another assassin.
Ezio half his family, then cucked himself for no fucking reason with Cristina and then had the second woman he ever loved leave him to get her town back only to die a couple of years later.
Arno's oneitis cucked him with some rascal only to die like a bitch by the end of the game.
Haven't played AC Origins but Bayek's son and wife... I know this shit ain't gonna end well.

with that art style?

haha

How is Origins?

ugly pirates are the best pirates

Is it ok to be curbstomping Frigates with just 3 upgrades? I hope the sailing around doesn't get trivial by the end game

The mobile version isn't half-bad, either, despite the Temple Run missions.

I never played assasin creed game and I'm not fan of stealth, but I got it since it's free.
Can it be played by just rambo everything?

Why didn't you just say that in the first place? You say this post is autistic, but what was more autistic is assuming anyone on Sup Forums knew enough about sails that they would see this flaw and point it out for you.

Yes, just the style that suits you best!™

It's not a stealth game, only some sections require stealth. Going Rambo works almost always and is your primary MO, it's even encouraged from Brotherhood onward.
4 in particular fine to Rambo if you don't mind the occasional stealth section.

>I hope the sailing around doesn't get trivial by the end game

I beat the game without ever using fast travel, just to have a reason to sail some more.

I did the first missions til you unlock lots of the stuff and then I explored the world.
Had lots of fun but when I hit Max level and beat all the arenas and races.
Once you're Max level you lose a lot of the fun of processing.

How about you fucking play it and find out.

>Why didn't you just say that in the first place?
I dunno

Shouldn't you be playing Naval Action rn?

>western game
>fun
fuck off shillfag. Go play your cinematic shitty game no one wants you here. If it's not a nintendo game, it can't be fun, that's a fact

>it's even encouraged from Brotherhood onward.
They made you cut it out with Unity at least. You can Rambo but it takes until endgame where you can carry 9+ smoke bombs before you can do it reliably.

That game sucks. There are no good sailing games

It's literally free to own right now.

Thanks
Wasn't sure it is worth downloading and I just saw a thread, so why not ask?

It's the best out of the bunch but it being an unfinished game is the biggest issue imo

Haven't played III or anything beyond BF tbqh. Might pirate Unity and Syndicate now, I find AC stealth play pretty fun but it ruins it if the encounters you avoid are not that difficult to begin with.

Smoke Bombs become an essential for end game in Unity.
Throw a smoke bomb, kill everyone, do this a few times in a mission, use the Assassin's cache to restock your Smoke Bombs and combat is a joke.

>Smoke Bombs become an essential for end game in Unity.
If only for those asshats wearing those conical hats, they drive me insane with how they can dodge three or four full combos before you can actually counter to land a combo at all.
