Comment on Ubisoft Finally Confirms Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced, the Remake We All Knew Was Coming
VerseAndVermin@lemmy.world 15 hours agoCan I ask why? I’m far removed from a lot of what’s going on. Black Flag was the only AC game I played through. Not the I didn’t try some of the earlier ones.
Is it general Ubisoft stuff or the game in particular?

I’m not the commenter you asked, but I think of Black Flag as a really conflicting game.
On one hand, all of the pirate stuff is really fun. Spearfishing, diving, being on your boat and plundering ships is probably the most fun in any oldschool Creed game.
But if I have to rate it as an AC game, it’s terrible. The story is middling at best, the protagonist is really unlikable, the whole Assasins vs. Templars theme feels shoved in needlessly and the main mission design is absolute ASS. It feels like 70% of all main missions have you tail someone…or something. I mean, the game has a mission where you have to sneekily tail a ship…with your ship. It’s almost like the game is parodying itself.

This connects with my memory. I recall spending all my happy time at sea for hours upon hours. Now that you mention it, I do remember a silly follow mission at sea.
I had not considered the obvious micros they will surely add.
I’m the wrong person though to measure a good AC game 🏴☠️. I could not get into the first one and I know a lot of people have a lot of love for it.
