All they had to do was remove all the bits that made it an Assassin’s Creed game and it would’ve been perfect. But they did Skull & Bones instead. It’s like they hate easy money.
Yakuza Pirate In Hawaii had a similar problem tbh. The pacing of the game kind of encourages you to fuck around doing Yakuza stuff instead of Pirate stuff for the midgame but the Pirate stuff was way more fun than clearing like, 90 bounty fights that all went the same way once you were good at the combat.
Only Assassin’s Creed game I ever played. The worst part was the parts where you’re in the present day and had to do some boring computer shit for some reason? During the whole time in those parts I was just angry and thinking “just let me be a pirate again FFS!”
Yes, oh my god at the times they would bring you out of the Animus for some shitty present day story that wasn’t nearly as interesting as the in Animus story!
Yeah I get they’re trying to do something to connect these stories that take place in completely different time periods and locations. But does anyone really care about that?
There’s some lore about Assassins and Templars in the storyline. I didn’t care about that either (I just want to be a pirate) but maybe some people like that, and it’s enough to connect the various time periods together. But ocassionally warping people into the present day sometimes? It’s just just dumb. I just want to be a pirate!
That game was the best pirate game that nobody asked for, and it was a freaking Assassin’s Creed game! xD

Seriously! I think that’s true about most companies these days. They literally go the worst route possible 90% of the time.

I played the prior games and it was nice to continue the overall story. It got silly tho and I didn’t play much after black flag.
