Comment on Assassin's Creed is a "forever brand" because Ubisoft supported huge risks with it, ex director says: "Whereas, say, EA, you get these awful execs and they never made games and they came from toothpaste companies"

  Black Flag was a mediocre Assassin’s Creed game, at best. It was a phenomenal pirate game

  Agreed. Black Flag was awesome. Never finished the story though. Just sailing, singing shanties.

  And Rogue. I rarely hear Rogue mentioned but it’s my favourite. I find the story the most appealing, and it comes with so much moral ambiguity.

    Gameplay-wise, Rogue is even better than Black Flag. Narratively, Rogue is a disaster fueled by Shay being painfully stupid.

    Being released at the same time as the significantly more modern (and unpopular) Unity didn’t do Rogue any favors.
