They are modeled more on the Far Cry game loop than the traditional AC play with canned missions. Nevertheless, the ship combat is fun, and the shanties 100% extraordinary, without exception. Patrick O'Brien would roll over in his grave over a brig taking on a 3 deck ship of the line using mortars and a ram in a game more concerned with historical fact than most. The gameplay is excellent, and the ship combat led to the hugely superior combat of Odessey, which is more fitting to ships with rams. It is one of the reasons the Assassin's creed games became a global hit series. If you haven't played Black Flag yet, play it.

Sometimes you don't need a fucking novel to write what you mean to say. If you play it, you can ignore a lot of the collectibles, but definitely get all the shanties.Įdit: Since the automoderator bot thinks this is a low effort post because it doesn't meet the 150 word minimum for a patientgamers post, here's an addition: fuck the moderatorbot.

The ship mechanics in Black Flag might be as unrealistic as a plastic doubloon, but they were good fun and fit perfectly later in Odessey, but the shanties are unmatched in any game I've played. I love the new games (which may be controversial), I even liked ACIII and especially the different roles you could take in Liberation (a mechanic unfortunately abandoned), but collecting the shanties and listening to them is the best thing ever. I swear I listen to the youtube list of the complete shanty list from Black Flag at least once a month.īlack Flag may be the best Assassin's Creed game.
