I agree, but the bar was not very high before. Unity and Syndicate also didnt come close do BLack flag. A rare moment of brilliance from Ubisoft in terms of storytelling... Edward was their most fleshed out character.
Never have i found an ending of a game soo full of emotion and filled with love before, i never shed a tear to game before nor my eyes are watering but this game hoho this ending has made my eyes almost flowing like a river and i ALMOST cried
Agree man! Well I will always be a Ezio guy but wow they should have at least given either Connor or Edward another game. Did you see the end where Edward is at the theater, where we start ac3 with haytham : / mad me sad
It's definitely sad in the sense he's lost most of the people he's cared about, but it's hopeful in the sense that he's meeting his daughter and moving to restart life as a better man.
can't bring myself to keep playing after the credits, it just feels wrong to disregard such an amazing ending like that and continue to do as he did before.
Luckily I have a habit of doing everything possible but the main story in an open world game^^ The only downside: For about 8-10h you just keep on killing your friends or see them die... And then that ending to top it all? Be prepared for sudden blurred vision...
i didnt know it was the ending untill i saw all of the beloved friends were shown i was litteruly starting to tear up......i love these kinds of games with these kinds of endings honestly
This ending is quite poignant. Edward, the grand pirate, who faced legions of enemies and massive ships of war, but you can see him so nervous on the pier. Waiting for his daughter, whom he thought he had left abandoned. Would she still love him? Would she care? His eyes show fear, but when she sees him, he brightens up. He knows he will be alright.
And you know what truly makes it even sadder is that... [SPOILER WARNING!] Edward after he returned to England to raise both Jenifer Scott and Haytham Kenway little he did know he was betrayed by one associate of his Reginald Birch who was working for the templar order murdered him at his own home and took Young Haytham Kenway and raised him to become a Templar grandmaster as we see in Assassin's Creed Rogue and 3
This almost made me cry the first time.. I really liked Blackbeard and Charles Vane, since those where the only ones who showed true friendship and belief in Kenway (Besides from when Vane becomes mad). Seeing them when he looks over at the table almost got me to the point of tears.. AC2 & Brotherhood had the best intro of the AC series. AC4 has the best ending (in my opinion) As I feel pleased with everything I accomplished in the game. Seeing all the great characters sitting at that table makes you think how great they where & how you may (or may not) have connected with them in the game. Really really enjoyed this game, thumbs up to you Ubisoft.
WOW, I REALLY hope Ubisoft will do something like Brotherhood and Revelations, but with Edward - he deserves it. BTW, It's one of the saddest endings in the whole video game history ;(
They could but we all know what happens after this and there wouldnt be much to do. Still the character and storyline in this game was amazing. New favourite AC game :D
In the mission where mary read aka james kid dies I evesdropped on two british guards and they laughed and joked about how stede bonnet was captured and hanged.
This and the scene where Edward and Bonny discuss feeling empty inside absolutely kills me. Everything just starts falling apart after Blackbeard's death :'(
This ending was so simple yet so perfect. They whole game you're being told that if you keep going, you'll find you're the only one going down your path. And finally in the end we see that everyone was right and Edward's poor daughter is the only one left
O man I was just eager to see who was on the ship, but when they showed everybody around the table...my heart dropped. Was choking back little tears. And yea that music was beautiful, perfect match for the story of the game.
Same my man 😂 and I almost missed it I looked down to check my phone and when I looked back up it was just a slow camera sweep over all my dead friends shit almost broke me right there and then 😂
After playing through Unity, I can't believe that I still found this game better in almost every aspect. Specifically, character development. As much as I hate to say it, Arno was by far the flattest most boring character in the AC franchise. He didn't show any progression of belief of his actions until the VERY END of the game. As moving as his final quote was, it doesn't make up for his lack of identity and character. And to think this game has been in development for years? Edward, on the other hand, has in my opinion gone through the most development in the series (yes, more than Ezio). He started out as a rambunctious privateer with no concept of the value of life. He joined the Assassin's Order for one sole purpose; receiving a reward. However, after the loss of (too many) friends, in the end Edward has come to realize the dangers of life, but also the joys of it. He no longer uses the Creed as a vessel for money, but he embraces it as a code of life, and chooses to live by it.
Actually agree with you, in the beginning Arno started off very likable and reminded me a lot of Ezio, then after joining the assassin's he got quiet and boring. I love this ending it's really beautiful.
Unity was...SO WRONG! it's pathetic, it's nothing like the previous games, you're confined to a single city (very large city, but still), as opposed to the other games where you can travel to different cities and areas in the world! The side quests/collectables are so dull in comparison to the previous ones
This entire game and especially the ending specifically is all the more better once you realize that all these pirates existed in real life and the story respects their actuallives, like the the dates of their death correspond with their deaths in real life. It gets even crazier when you find that a lot of the relationships loosely existed. I know that's the whole premise of this franchise but fuck me the way it was executed. Some of the game play mechanics annoyed me but this game really was a fucking masterpiece.
finished this game today... so much feel. feeling empty now. don't even wan't to complete the side missions now. what was most heart wrecking was death of mary.
I played all the AC games, all the Max Payne games, all the GTA games, The Last of Us, Walking Dead season 1 & 2 and NONE of them made me tear up once, but this ending made me cry like a bitch!
You should play and get all the assassin creed game there well done and fun to splay. Some have sad endings some are just fun to play and all aboard syndicate hype train
I'm glad Adewale got to make it through this game. It was definitely sad reminiscing about the other dead captains, but Adewale was essentially the architect to Edward's morality. When Edward came back to the assassin island and asked why all the desctruction, Adewale basically told him his greed would be the end to himself and all around him. It was the turning point in Edward's behavior.
The main reason he survived was because he wasn't a historical figure. 😅 The fate of all the others was tragically set in stone, though it also makes the story more realistic in a very sad way (which im a sucker for)
Not only that it kills you with Edwards dead friends sitting at the table but few minutes later his own child says that his wife is dead and for years! *THE FEELS* TT_TT
What's even more tragic is that since the story takes place over several years, it's very likely she died sometime _AFTER_ the game begins, while we were out chasing after fortunes and the observatory...
Very good ending and very good game... The thing that makes the ending good is the fact that you get to see all these memorable characters like Thatch and Bonnet for one last moment. Ubisoft did a great job with the characters in this game. They all have great personalities and it makes you care about them... If all the characters were as flat as in other AC games, then the ending probably would have sucked... So yeah, good job Ubisoft with that... A good way to improve the series...
I really didn't want this game to end, with the fact that it's finished and how sad the end was combined I cried like a fucking bitch. Nothing can be better than black flag.
Edward is still grieving over his lost friends in this video, while Ezio had a lifetime to recover from the loss of his family. Imagine how powerful a scene it would be if Ezio saw his family together one last time before passing on.
mature when a Gamer realized that its all about a life lesson, not just game we are human begin always seek for money,gem and lost our faith,company and everything and become more complex too i played it when i was teen, i played again when i become adult and learnt many things
Edwards story was sad but unique, he lost Mary, and blackbeard, his wife died but was survived by his daughter, his son later turned to templar. His story was very enjoyable and unique
I legit was not ready for this ending on my first playthrough... Still tear up everytime i rewatch it. I lost my best friend a few years back and i imagine him sittin next to them in the scene.... ✊
Knowing what happens to edward after, makes it much more sad, a shame that he never get to meet his grandson. A have to say it, Ezio's story is epic, but the Kenway family's story is just emotional. I hope Eivor can get to the level of this characters. Miss you Ezio, Miss you Edward, Miss you Connor, Miss you Desmond. #MakeACgreatagain
Well I have to say this: THIS IS THE BEST AC GAME AND ENDING EVER seriously though this ending got me it was Sooo sad and I normally don't get sad over stuff like this but the character development was so bloody good that's why I got sad when Edward seen his old friends like Stede bonnet James Kidd thatch ect this Is honestly the best game I've ever played the song really went well and it's the fact that we have followed Edward, adewale,thatch,Stede bonnet ect through the game and we know the characters so well it's like there family then some die and it's nice at the end to see them all there even if some are dead it's just an amazing way to end the game personally my favourite it totally revived the series well done ubisoft
I played this game for the first time just recently, and the ending was such an emotional gutpunch, to find out Edward's wife had died while we were off chasing after riches and the observatory, especially since giving her a better life together with him was his whole flimsy justification for all his actions was not something I expected them to drop when the credits had already started rolling... It feels so soberingly realistic too; Sometimes people just die, and you can't anticipate it any more than you can prevent it.
I never cry in video game endings but this on really hit me so down because Edward realized in the end that he did whatever it took to be rich and he became so narrow minded he barely payed attention to his surroundings like the death of his friends. And after Mary's death he started to realize that because of him, he lost his friends and his wife because of his selfishness and when he looked and saw his friends sitting at the table, I straight up felt a huge knot in my throat and tried to hold in my tears because that ending was the most beautiful ending I've ever seen in a video game. THE FIRST VIDEO GAME ENDING I EVER CRIED ABOUT!
well said honestly I was like Edward I wanted to become rich lol in the game of course. it wasn't till he flashback back at the table and saw his friends. it made me think that's how it started it at Nassau a group friends gathering together :') talking tales about thier life at sea and the riches. will there be another game like this hopefully :)
I would say he started to understand the value of friendship and other people even earlier in the game but by then he was neckdeep in Assassin business and tied to it's course.. and then he fougth alongside them, and saw as one by one all those he cherished fell to the progress of "civilization".. Mary died in a dungeon after being denied medical care after a difficult birth, Teach died just as he was getting ready to leave the Caribbean and sail off into retirement. And those are only 2 of many... And then he stands there hearing an old folk song thinking of all those he lost, because the world they had left followed after them...... In Syndicate you learn that Edward Kenway later became a Master Assassin in London, he kept going even after all his loss, or maybe even because of it....
one of the saddest moments in the series... the animation at 2:28... just the slight catch of the throat before putting on his hard face again... finishes me off every time... epic
i loved this game and still do. beat it today. i just about cried at the end with the song while showing all of the other pirates. I was so glad Anne didnt die, when you have to leave her outside the temple i thought when you come back she would be dead but thank god that didnt happen. i give this game a 9.70 out of 10. i do wish Edward would have decided to be with Anne though and she wuld sail with him and be a mother, thats really the only part i didnt like about the ending but still an amazing game, thank you Ubisoft for making a better game than AC3.
This is my favorite ending in any game now. It's perfect and it goes along with the song. Especially when Edward sees his fallen friends and meets his daughter. Good job, Ubisoft, damn good job. :')
"You're a good man Edward. And if you'd learn to keep settled in one place for more than a week, you'll make a fine father too." From this quote to her song. Imagine the men who were told this, because i am sure there were a few. A great man doing what he believes in. Not just being a Pirate but to believe in something bigger then the few people who controlled everything. Just a name that rode the waves; true sailor!
Probably the best game I've ever played and probably ever will play. Everything from the story and character development and voice actors make this game what it is.
Black Flag made full use of its historical backdrop, introduced and developed the arc of a rounded three dimensional and conflicted protagonist, had amazing side characters and its narrative felt both grounded in the caribbean struggles and ambitious in the characters conflicts. Good pacing: nice start straight into the action, good development of characters and build up towards a powerful finish. Add a bittersweet ending and you have ubisoft's best story and protagonist. Period.
The game teaches you family and friends is more important than money or fame. Great ending. It had me feeling down for a few days when I beat it last January.
I just beat this game tonight, and when Edward looks over at the table, and sees all of his friends who formed Nassu And how in the beginning, they all sat around at the table, being friends & have a great old time- even though some of his friends went other ways, and betrayed him, When they died, all things soft and beautiful and bright would be buried with them, shall them all be friends no madder what, and Edward Conway Died 3 December 1735 (aged 42) London, Kingdom of Great Britain, this is by far, by a long shot, the (Best) Assassins Creed that Ubisoft, has ever created And every person sitting at that table, from Blackbeard to others- were all real people, and how they died sadly in the game, were how they actually died in real life, The next Assassins Creed will be put taking place in London (Great Britain) - and I hope, that they add in at least, a small part to the game even if it would be an Easter egg, to recognize Edward Conway because that is where he died at Age 42 And it would be Heart breaking for them just to leave him out not speaking of him 1 bit, But all I am saying is that after playing this game "Black Flag" for so long now and finishing it, at the end of this game, they have never spot on finished a game so great, better than any other game ending ever established It made me Cry to see all of his friends at that table, and to know at the beginning they were all best pals and had Goals, to them all died and that Scene when they were sitting at the table, was when they were all friends, All I can say is, Thank you Ubisoft- for making the best game ever known to man kind, not to mention the best ending, which had the feels as if my friends in real life have died as well, Thank you.
Yesterday i was talking to someone at my school about joining the army and they said I'd have no life if i did that and I said that would be the only life I'd want then they said that there grandparent almost died on a "boat" when in the navy and me and my mate said don't you mean ship and they said there's no difference. Thats when I said "well there is its simple a ship can carry a boat but a boat cannot carry a ship". I felt pretty badass after that
Ac1 : idk never played it Ac2 : revenge but you realize it was useless Ac:Brotherhood : creed Ac:revelation : wisdom Ac3 : revenge Ac4 : Sadness Ac:Rogue : Truth Ac:Unity : Love
I love all the Assassins Creed games pre-Unity (well, Rogue was pretty good), but this, in my opinion, is the best in the series. 2 was an amazing journey, and Bh and Rev. were a great continuation and resolution of that journey. However, this is the only game in the series to make me cry. This whole game was such a pleasure. Seeing Edward make mistakes and grow was truly compelling, and this ending was absolutely perfect. It's sad, but also beautiful because you see Edward become a real man and find his true calling in life. He is the last of the scourge of the west Indies, and he finally finds something greater to live for. It's just beautiful. None of the other AC's illicit the same response from me as this one when they end. Just an amazing game.
The saddest moment was, when Edward looked over the next table to all his friends which he lost. That is how the ending should be.
Mike Shiva this is how life should be
Wait they all died!??
Chris Wilkerson everyone on that table was dead, yes
Damn blackflag is sad
Not all. One was in the jail I can remember. He was alone with Edward on a island and went crazy.
And one sailed back to England.
This is by far the best ending in the Assassin's Creed franchise
Yes it's so sad
probably the most emotional scene in the franchise but for me the best ending was from AC Revelation :)
I agree, but the bar was not very high before. Unity and Syndicate also didnt come close do BLack flag. A rare moment of brilliance from Ubisoft in terms of storytelling... Edward was their most fleshed out character.
PTyscho 1000000% Agreed
But the saddest 😭😭😭
Not many games bring a tear to my eye, but this scene...
I will tell you the singing and his dead close friends do make it sad
This game and red dead redemption saddest endings.
True
True!!
Never have i found an ending of a game soo full of emotion and filled with love before, i never shed a tear to game before nor my eyes are watering but this game hoho this ending has made my eyes almost flowing like a river and i ALMOST cried
Edward's ending is the saddest of all the main characters, i almost cried here
Agree man! Well I will always be a Ezio guy but wow they should have at least given either Connor or Edward another game. Did you see the end where Edward is at the theater, where we start ac3 with haytham : / mad me sad
Haz Cygnus made * lol
I did saw it (on youtube because i am REALLY far from ending the game)
In my opinion they could at least left Bonnet, Thatch or Mary alive
It's definitely sad in the sense he's lost most of the people he's cared about, but it's hopeful in the sense that he's meeting his daughter and moving to restart life as a better man.
Indeed, but, still, I would wish that ar least one of his closest friend were alive
Edward was looking for riches but instead found himself
Realtime1501 Exactly ‼️‼️‼️
The richest treasure one could find....
He did but after also became rich as fuck
Well he also found riches too...
hes actually like han solo from criminal to hero and legend
can't bring myself to keep playing after the credits, it just feels wrong to disregard such an amazing ending like that and continue to do as he did before.
spencer laffond I'm having that exact problem right now. It feels wrong. Even if it's just a game it feels disrespectful lol
Yeah.... Gotta start a new game
Exactly, that's why on my second play through I tried to complete everything before the final quest so that I don't have to do anything after that
Luckily I have a habit of doing everything possible but the main story in an open world game^^ The only downside: For about 8-10h you just keep on killing your friends or see them die... And then that ending to top it all? Be prepared for sudden blurred vision...
Whenever I replay the game after 1-2 years it feels so sad when you get to the ending
The feels when you see black beard and the others sitting at the table :/ It's a shame this game had to end
Same here
Why do all his friend have to die ;(
i didnt know it was the ending untill i saw all of the beloved friends were shown i was litteruly starting to tear up......i love these kinds of games with these kinds of endings honestly

This almost made me cry the first time..
I really liked Blackbeard and Charles Vane, since those where the only ones who showed true friendship and belief in Kenway (Besides from when Vane becomes mad). Seeing them when he looks over at the table almost got me to the point of tears..
AC2 & Brotherhood had the best intro of the AC series. AC4 has the best ending (in my opinion) As I feel pleased with everything I accomplished in the game. Seeing all the great characters sitting at that table makes you think how great they where & how you may (or may not) have connected with them in the game.
Really really enjoyed this game, thumbs up to you Ubisoft.
What about Bonnet and Mary Read. Those were the best with Blackbeard
WOW, I REALLY hope Ubisoft will do something like Brotherhood and Revelations, but with Edward - he deserves it.
BTW, It's one of the saddest endings in the whole video game history ;(
and the saddest ultimate assassins game but assassins creed 3 eh
One of the saddest ay but perhaps one of the most satisfying
Edward actually dies not long after Assassin's Creed 4. They've already written him out. Would be hard to go back to him now.
Yeah once he dies Haytham is trained to be a Templar.
They could but we all know what happens after this and there wouldnt be much to do. Still the character and storyline in this game was amazing. New favourite AC game :D
When I found out how stede bonnet died i sailed straight to kigston and massacred every guard in that prison
What what?? Can you explain?? Cuz I have a feeling that once you do I will want you do the exact same thing! 😂

You're not alone man. good song tho and good game wait great game.

In Unity they shouldve at least let Elise live, it would be more fitting.

Fuck that "after Ezio" shit. Edward's story and AC 4 are my favourite. This ending only helped it be more memorable.

it's been a long time since this comment, and still the best and saddest ending, perhaps the best AC ever made
its sad because most people who loved ac quit because it was a pirate game, but its wayyy more than just that
I played all the AC games, all the Max Payne games, all the GTA games, The Last of Us, Walking Dead season 1 & 2 and NONE of them made me tear up once, but this ending made me cry like a bitch!

Assassins Tactics it was so good I'm still playing on free roam XD
Me 2!! Never getting rid of this awesome game
Assassins Tactics and online is quite fun but not as good as campaign. I like forgot it was a game while I was playing it.
Its even worse when you connect with the game and realize the errors Edward has done and feel sad
Knowing how it all went down after this though, makes this scene five times more depressing.
Edward is still grieving over his lost friends in this video, while Ezio had a lifetime to recover from the loss of his family. Imagine how powerful a scene it would be if Ezio saw his family together one last time before passing on.

Edwards story was sad but unique, he lost Mary, and blackbeard, his wife died but was survived by his daughter, his son later turned to templar. His story was very enjoyable and unique
played this game a few years ago I remembered some parts but not the ending.
replaying this ending is like cutting onions in a blender.
I legit was not ready for this ending on my first playthrough... Still tear up everytime i rewatch it. I lost my best friend a few years back and i imagine him sittin next to them in the scene.... ✊
rip for your friend bro
I just finished the game in 2024 for the first ever. What an ending and what a game.
2:20 made me cry I fell in love with everyone in the game story but Mary was the best :)
Vincent Berglund no Blackbeard was
Don't forget vanes.
Mary,Blackbeard,Vanes,Bonnet, all of them were the homies😭😭😭
Blackbeard and bonnet were best
the ending make made cry because of the people that die and the song I'm still kind of crying too it so sad 😭😭😭😭

This ending made this my favorite assassins creed. The look at all the lost friends along the way was one of the best video game moments I’ve ever had
Anyone else come back here every now and then?
Knowing what happens to edward after, makes it much more sad, a shame that he never get to meet his grandson. A have to say it, Ezio's story is epic, but the Kenway family's story is just emotional. I hope Eivor can get to the level of this characters. Miss you Ezio, Miss you Edward, Miss you Connor, Miss you Desmond. #MakeACgreatagain
Well I have to say this: THIS IS THE BEST AC GAME AND ENDING EVER seriously though this ending got me it was Sooo sad and I normally don't get sad over stuff like this but the character development was so bloody good that's why I got sad when Edward seen his old friends like Stede bonnet James Kidd thatch ect this Is honestly the best game I've ever played the song really went well and it's the fact that we have followed Edward, adewale,thatch,Stede bonnet ect through the game and we know the characters so well it's like there family then some die and it's nice at the end to see them all there even if some are dead it's just an amazing way to end the game personally my favourite it totally revived the series well done ubisoft
I played this game for the first time just recently, and the ending was such an emotional gutpunch, to find out Edward's wife had died while we were off chasing after riches and the observatory, especially since giving her a better life together with him was his whole flimsy justification for all his actions was not something I expected them to drop when the credits had already started rolling...
It feels so soberingly realistic too; Sometimes people just die, and you can't anticipate it any more than you can prevent it.
I hate that Edward is killed, his daughter kidnapped, and son turned into a Templar. But I'm kinda glad they didn't show that part in the game
Is that from novel
its from 3
He Deserved better much Better
And So Did his Family 🙏😔

U FUCKING SPOILED ME
@@mr.crivson2450 from a game that was released back in 2013? Plus it was from the book not the game
*In a world without gold, we might have been heroes...*
Iconic
The feels hit when you see Edward's dead friends at the table.
I never cry in video game endings but this on really hit me so down because Edward realized in the end that he did whatever it took to be rich and he became so narrow minded he barely payed attention to his surroundings like the death of his friends. And after Mary's death he started to realize that because of him, he lost his friends and his wife because of his selfishness and when he looked and saw his friends sitting at the table, I straight up felt a huge knot in my throat and tried to hold in my tears because that ending was the most beautiful ending I've ever seen in a video game. THE FIRST VIDEO GAME ENDING I EVER CRIED ABOUT!
well said honestly I was like Edward I wanted to become rich lol in the game of course. it wasn't till he flashback back at the table and saw his friends. it made me think that's how it started it at Nassau a group friends gathering together :') talking tales about thier life at sea and the riches.
will there be another game like this hopefully :)
I would say he started to understand the value of friendship and other people even earlier in the game but by then he was neckdeep in Assassin business and tied to it's course.. and then he fougth alongside them, and saw as one by one all those he cherished fell to the progress of "civilization"..
Mary died in a dungeon after being denied medical care after a difficult birth, Teach died just as he was getting ready to leave the Caribbean and sail off into retirement.
And those are only 2 of many...
And then he stands there hearing an old folk song thinking of all those he lost, because the world they had left followed after them......
In Syndicate you learn that Edward Kenway later became a Master Assassin in London, he kept going even after all his loss, or maybe even because of it....
one of the saddest moments in the series... the animation at 2:28... just the slight catch of the throat before putting on his hard face again... finishes me off every time... epic
I like that Hornigold still gets to sit at the table.
He may have been a traitor, but he followed his convictions to the very end.
I couldn't help but cry a little when I saw black beard, Mary and the rest of the gang..
The worst part about replaying Black Flag is knowing you’ll have to watch this ending again.
Edward started the Kenway Legacy.
Haytham tarnished the Kenway Legacy.
Connor redeemed the Kenway Legacy.
i loved this game and still do. beat it today. i just about cried at the end with the song while showing all of the other pirates. I was so glad Anne didnt die, when you have to leave her outside the temple i thought when you come back she would be dead but thank god that didnt happen. i give this game a 9.70 out of 10. i do wish Edward would have decided to be with Anne though and she wuld sail with him and be a mother, thats really the only part i didnt like about the ending but still an amazing game, thank you Ubisoft for making a better game than AC3.
Can't let the Gang know i teared up here when Edward saw his friends
Thanks a lot for uploading this, so I can watch this for a hundredth times and cry a hundred times over.
👍
James kidd was my favorite
Same here.
James girl
Anne was my favorite then james kidd / mary
william lefferman Mary*
For some respone i got the most feels from the end and then by the death of blackbeard....
The chair and song always get me. 7 years later, no game hit me like this one
I actually cried at the end of black flag. I think this is the best assassin's creed game ever made in story or control!
Every once and a while I come back to this video and watch one of the most emotional endings in gaming. Even after all these years.
You can tell Edward was about to cry
I just finished black flag 5 minutes ago and Anne Bonney's song made me tear up
I'm sorry, but I can't stop from laughing now that I see that chair in the background at 2:16.
Just played through this again 10 years later still gets me in the feels
same black flag was so special in many way
also ezio hit me the hardest the 2nd is this video
This is my favorite ending in any game now. It's perfect and it goes along with the song. Especially when Edward sees his fallen friends and meets his daughter. Good job, Ubisoft, damn good job. :')
"You're a good man Edward. And if you'd learn to keep settled in one place for more than a week, you'll make a fine father too."
From this quote to her song. Imagine the men who were told this, because i am sure there were a few. A great man doing what he believes in. Not just being a Pirate but to believe in something bigger then the few people who controlled everything. Just a name that rode the waves; true sailor!
This Ending is a masterpiece
Assassins Creed IV was the first one I played, years later I played the whole series and I can still say ACIV is my favorite
Seeing all the lost friends there is just soul crushing, I love this game
Probably the best game I've ever played and probably ever will play. Everything from the story and character development and voice actors make this game what it is.
2024 - This Still Hits Hard. 😔 💙
This reminds me if the day we graduated highschool, we look back an all our friends we started our journey with are no longer there with us
I can't be the only one that cried like a bitch at the end
***** defiantly that was the saddest bit but also the fact that he was leaving and the song and the fact the the game was over it was so good :')
Me too
2:16 Check that chair on the right (seen on tumblr)
What about it? I don't see shit.
Oh, now I see it, hahaha. Sorry.
I dont see it :0
God damnit, I paused the video and looked forever... Still funny though
EliteSwabby Yeah, that's what I did for an eternity. Felt like a moron afterwards.
So many feels in this game. Thanks for restoring my faith in the series, Ubisoft.
when i saw Edward looking at the table seeing all his friends who are gone made me cry...
Most touching moment since Soap's death, Dom's death, and any other awesome character's death ^_^
IeraXation Can't forget Lee!
Bobo Squiggilywinks I can't believe he was bit! D: I'm so sad Clem had to shoot him DDDD:
TheCupcakegirl126 well, she didn't HAVE to, but he was turning.
Bobo Squiggilywinks Yeah, he told her to shoot him so she could be safe...
TheCupcakegirl126 i left lee alife (alive) so he could suffer.
Never thought I'd cry seeing an image of Edward Thatch's ghost.
This is genuinely my favourite ending to a game ever, seriously, why can so few other games end on a seriously emotional note like this :')
I cried when it showed all your friends at the table
Black Flag made full use of its historical backdrop, introduced and developed the arc of a rounded three dimensional and conflicted protagonist, had amazing side characters and its narrative felt both grounded in the caribbean struggles and ambitious in the characters conflicts.
Good pacing: nice start straight into the action, good development of characters and build up towards a powerful finish. Add a bittersweet ending and you have ubisoft's best story and protagonist. Period.
this ending pops up in my head so now and then , and everytime i see the old friends of him i shut a tear , such a good ending
The game teaches you family and friends is more important than money or fame. Great ending. It had me feeling down for a few days when I beat it last January.
All aboard the SS feels, we are just waiting for a chair- oh there he is at 2:14
always nice to come back here. feels like home.
it would be sad but when you see the flying chair at 2:15 hilarious.
GODDAMMIT this totally ruined the whole scene! I'm crying this time out of laughter instead of sadness. Jeez xD
+Pownathena XD
dammit I never noticed that.
I now regret that
+daniel beasley Why would you point that out?! XDDD This is suppose to be a sad scene! Now I'm crying of laughter trying not to pee my pants.
+joy frye For the Lolz!
only video game ending to ever make me cry
I just beat this game tonight, and when Edward looks over at the table, and sees all of his friends who formed Nassu
And how in the beginning, they all sat around at the table, being friends & have a great old time- even though some of his friends went other ways, and betrayed him, When they died, all things soft and beautiful and bright would be buried with them, shall them all be friends no madder what, and Edward Conway Died 3 December 1735 (aged 42) London, Kingdom of Great Britain, this is by far, by a long shot, the (Best) Assassins Creed that Ubisoft, has ever created
And every person sitting at that table, from Blackbeard to others- were all real people, and how they died sadly in the game, were how they actually died in real life,
The next Assassins Creed will be put taking place in London (Great Britain) - and I hope, that they add in at least, a small part to the game even if it would be an Easter egg, to recognize Edward Conway because that is where he died at Age 42
And it would be Heart breaking for them just to leave him out not speaking of him 1 bit,
But all I am saying is that after playing this game "Black Flag" for so long now and finishing it, at the end of this game, they have never spot on finished a game so great, better than any other game ending ever established
It made me Cry to see all of his friends at that table, and to know at the beginning they were all best pals and had Goals, to them all died and that Scene when they were sitting at the table, was when they were all friends,
All I can say is, Thank you Ubisoft- for making the best game ever known to man kind, not to mention the best ending, which had the feels as if my friends in real life have died as well,
Thank you.
+Dylan Aunon your wish came true. edward was recognized for the great assassin he was when evie explored his mansion in syndicate.
Its kenway not konway and he did get recognition in Syndicate!
I actually don't hate Ben Hornigold for betraying him. I hated Roberts more, even more than Woodes or Torres
5 years later and I still feel the same way about this ending
7 years later, and I still stick with this being one of the best games ever created. Along with the best ending to any game ever.
It touched my heart when he saw his old friends. I started crying
that fucking chair....
almost ruins the scene for me..
i die laughing but its followed by seeing everyone at the table.. my brain gets so confused
Yesterday i was talking to someone at my school about joining the army and they said I'd have no life if i did that and I said that would be the only life I'd want then they said that there grandparent almost died on a "boat" when in the navy and me and my mate said don't you mean ship and they said there's no difference. Thats when I said "well there is its simple a ship can carry a boat but a boat cannot carry a ship". I felt pretty badass after that
The graphics on all of the AC games have been pretty great, but this was my favorite....absolutely stunning....
Edwards saga is the greatest of all the stories in AC. This is what we need more of.
Ac1 : idk never played it
Ac2 : revenge but you realize it was useless
Ac:Brotherhood : creed
Ac:revelation : wisdom
Ac3 : revenge
Ac4 : Sadness
Ac:Rogue : Truth
Ac:Unity : Love
6 years from now ....
And I can still feel the vibes of the last song ...
I love all the Assassins Creed games pre-Unity (well, Rogue was pretty good), but this, in my opinion, is the best in the series. 2 was an amazing journey, and Bh and Rev. were a great continuation and resolution of that journey. However, this is the only game in the series to make me cry. This whole game was such a pleasure. Seeing Edward make mistakes and grow was truly compelling, and this ending was absolutely perfect. It's sad, but also beautiful because you see Edward become a real man and find his true calling in life. He is the last of the scourge of the west Indies, and he finally finds something greater to live for. It's just beautiful. None of the other AC's illicit the same response from me as this one when they end. Just an amazing game.
