Today’s Game is Assassins Creed Black Flag. Honestly I’m kind of impressed I made it too 10 days. I totally expected myself to miss a day on my streak. Also. A few people in the past have asked about posting screenshots in the comments or stealing the idea for their own posts. Assuming the mods are chill with it I have no issues with people doing either of those things. I just want people to have fun

Would've been a really great game if it weren't an Assassin's Creed, but just a pirate game.

I don't see why the name would matter much, it was a great game regardless.

Not the name, the AC game mechanics. It could've been an even better pirate game if it had focused on its strengths and dropped the AC baggage.

I disagree. The fact that it was a mix between pirating stuff and acrobatic land exploration helped making sure you never got tired of any mechanic. A game solely focusing on the boat would have gotten monotonous in my opinion

They listened to fans about wanting a Ubisoft pirate game and made Skull and Bones

The "quad A" game?

[–] Breezy@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Naw its the best assassins creed game because its the best pirate game so far.

Thankfully the present-time "story" is negligible. I hated that about the series up to and including AC 3.
