This is it. The best one. Spoilers but this is going top of the list. I've not played any games past Unity yet but I'm not sure there's anything that's gonna beat this one. Thanks for watching.
If you like Assassin's Creed Black Flag and would like your personal opinion reaffirmed and supported, then this is the video for you.
Very nicely edited intro.
Aaaand....now I have to play this game again.😅
Nicely edited video and I largely agree. Played it for the first time last year and it instantly became one of my all time favorite games. Phenomenal game, definitely my favorite of the franchise so far, haven't played them all yet though. I'm also going through the entire franchise at the moment, only I'm going mostly in order of whichever one I feel like playing (saving the Ezio trilogy for last though, many say those are the best after all). Ow and love the intro!👌
Funny little thing i noticed at 13:00 The TV on the background mentions nautical bleeding effect and then the next sentence is "This seems to suggest the bleeding effect isn't really a thing.". I do think your assessment is correct the game doesn't treat it like it is or perhaps maybe not as severe as we were lead to believe in AC1. I did think that was a funny detail tho
Definitely my favorite. In my top 5 favorite games ever.
The interesting thing about this game is it does rank as one of the better pirate games out there as well.
Awesome review. Love the story of this game, but endless tailing missions just got me crazy
12:20 I look forward to Assassin's Creed: Haight & Ashbury Summer of Love
great content
If the ships were so awesome as to have cool blueprints why did they sink?
Revelations and AC3 have unlockable outfits. Revelations actually has 3.
You're right, I realise I could have worded that part better. Those games had unlockable outfits, but they didn't have special activities or puzzles tied to them. Like in AC 2 and Brotherhood you had to complete special tombs, and in 4 there is a whole dedicated questline and set of puzzles, and they're kind of like side objectives throughout a big chunk of the game. I'm still not sure if that makes any more sense but hopefully that explains what I meant a little better 😅
@@borangedunn I think I get it. 1 of them in Rev you collect pages then do a parkour level like the tombs. AC3 has a similar thing for the bullet deflecting ring and the ship missions for the captain outfit. Do those not fit the criteria? This is why I said "I think" lol
@@WideOldDan I'm can't recall any outfits in Revelations that you unlock in that way. Other than getting 100% Sync or collecting Animus fragments I thought they were all DLC rewards. I know The Lost Archive had Vlad's Tomb but I thought that just unlocked a new sword?
I think what I'm really talking about is the presentation of the outfits. In AC2/Brotherhood/AC4, these outfits are shown to us by other characters, locked away for generations just waiting for a hero to come and solve their mysteries and unlock these fabled garments, rather than just buying them or being randomly given them.
@@borangedunn ah, I know what you mean now. The other outfit in Revelations is the Ishtak, I think, but that doesn't fit the criteria. That's the one that unlocks with a parkour puzzle.
Nothing about your opinions on AC games is viable 😮💨
In my opinion (and it's only my opinion, nothing more) this is the second worse game from the main AC games (so not counting Liberation or other similar games), it's only better than the first one
Even Rogue and III had more fun in them for me
I'm always puzzled when people say that it's their favourite
And also I want to point out huge hypocrisy that many people have in saying that Odyssey or Valhalla are not real ACs because you are not playing as an assassin in them, while their favourite game is Black Flag where you are not playing as an assassin too
Oh and disclaimer - the fact that it's 2nd worst AC imo doesn't mean I hate this game - on the contrary, I really like it, all 12 (without Mirage, because I still didn't play it) mainline AC games would be in my top 30 games of all times list if I would ever made one
It is an interesting one to look at in terms of popularity. I think pirates as a concept are generally pretty popular, and it seems that the overall opinion at the time was that the AC series was starting to feel like it was running out of steam, so it needed to do something different to shake it up.
I mention in my Rogue video that mechanically I feel that game is superior to this one, as it improved on many of the systems introduced here. Rogue could be seen as Black Flag 2, but because it's a sequel that makes improvements on existing elements, it just isn't as "different" as Black Flag itself, if that makes sense.
The "you don't play as an assassin" argument is used a lot, and you're right that Kenway seems to get a pass on this, despite him being more than just "not an assassin", he actively rejects them until the very end of the game. For me, I rationalise this that Edward still controls like an assassin, he's an Assassin's Creed character that can also control a ship. The way I see it, if you removed any narrartive or visual evidence of Assassin's Creed from Black Flag, people would still recognise it as an Assassin's Creed game, just with ship combat thrown in. Do the same with either Origins, Odyssey or Valhalla and no one would guess that they were supposed to be Assassin's Creed games. Obviously I might be way off with that assumption, but that seems to me what people mean when they criticise the RPG games for not letting you play as an Assassin.
