It was okay. Not really a lot there. They could've done more with the disguises mechanic.

>>
>>318422728
One of the best side bits of the game is the corporate culture satire in the datafiles you collect. At one point one of the higher ups uses the point that there's really no need for this assassins/templar/observatory stuff in a story about pirates. The other says they should include it to expand their demographic.

Of course, the former is using it as a reason, in universe, to hide the truth from the public.

>people actually like AC4
why
the assassin bits, which are the main reason I play ASSASSIN'S creed, weren't that good
the pirate stuff is repetitive and boring after the first hour or so
boarding ships (which i expected to be the most fun part) ended up being literally the same thing every time
im not sure if 4 is worse than 3 but i actually beat 3 and couldn't force myself through 4 so

ÂŁ16 or so is a bit too much, or whatever your regional equivalent is right now, but it's an enjoyable game for most of its duration. The Assassin bits are quite dull, as they usually are but the boat bits are very fun.

Don't bother with DLC, you'll get your fill of it all from the base game though.
>>
>>318424332
i just finished 4 literally 30 minutes ago and i agree with you

i really liked the game, and i spent however many hours trying to collect everything like i do in all the AC games, but after a while i just gave up and rushed the story missions. after sailing around for so long it all just became a drag

Also Edward was really likeable for a douchebag pirate. And he gets better.

I quit Rogue so fucking early. Shay just disgusted me, as did literally every single other character I had seen except Adewalé. I just realized early on, I disliked Shay and all his friends so strongly I didn't even care how good his character arc could possibly be.

Stormalong John.

>>318427336
Edward just busting his way into millennia old conspiracies in a get rich quick scheme was the best part of the story. He even pickpockets the templars at their meeting.

There's also a nice story about how low he gets. He starts out hanging out with Blackbeard and Hornigold, pirates with some amount of character. Then ends up with Vane and Rackram, basically just petty criminals with no real ambition. It's a nice subtle thing.

Him getting his shit together in the end was nice, even if apparently it all goes to shit again later. I don't know, I haven't read any of that stuff myself.
>>
>>318428138
This was my favorite one. I was constantly trying to get it to play. It's a shame that travel time ends up not quite allowing for a full shanty, but they would've had to make the map pointlessly larger to accommodate it. Just how it goes, I guess.

>>
>>318429249
It's honestly amazing how little of a shit they gave for making things line up. I think the "first" fort attacking memory shows up when you're in the souther half of the map, despite you probably clearing out about 3 or 4 of those things already just to get there. You can do half of the Assassination missions before Edward even knows who the assassins are.
>>
>>318429249

I was so close to dropping the game entirely when they introduced fucking SHIP TAILING.

Jesus fuck ubisoft, I know incorporating gameplay and exposition is difficult but find something else.
>>
>>318410000

This is the most perplexing game Ubisoft has ever created. Sailing around and being a Pirate was fucking great fun then they force the usual Ass Creed shit down your throat. All I wanted to do was get past the actual Assassin's Creed parts and go back sailing again.

I feels as if it was going to be it's own game and then Ubisoft thought 'fuck that make it an AC game' at the last minute.

Black Flag is a great game trapped inside a shit one.

Yes. Thankfully its ony a small part of the game. I found the controls tolerable tho

He would have stayed great had he committed to his "fuck the assassins and templar" bs. I'm fine with them still being part of the world but the story should have been about pure piracy.

How similar is Rogue to Black Flag in terms of sailing?
>>
>>318423034
It sounds like Ubisoft Shanghai wanted to do a pirate game and then Ubisoft told them "Make it an Assassins creed one" and then they decided to include this shit on the game out spite.

Also I read that the reception of Black Flag made Montreal and other more traditional Ubisoft studios REALLY BUTTHURT specially after the craptacular launch and reception of Unity.

It's pretty much the same, except you're in the North Atlantic, Appalachian River Valley and Arctic Ocean rather than the Caribbean. Mechanics are mostly the same.

There's only one "real" city, New York, but in turn the scattered settlements you find out in the ocean are much bigger than the ones you would find in Black Flag.
