The reason why physical is king I paid €25 less than the store and it even has a free art book and poster included

Why two days early? Does it have 48hr early access?

There's no early access for this game. They just got lucky with getting the delivery early.

 

[Windle Poons]

Roll on the 9th.

 

[amigastar]

Lol, Pirate Bay, i love this title.
But i don't think i will play the game for now maybe when it's cheaper down the line.

Well by every metric it is a worse game than Odyssey and I say that as someone who played and beat every AC game since 2007 multiple times except Valhalla fuck that game

Played both Black Flag appealed to me much more!

 

[ThisIsMyDog]

i remember playing original first day coming with "It's not Assassins Creed!" mentality, and it really wasn't to some extend, BUT, it was a damn great game still. Can't wait to play it, my ultra 7 270k and RTX5060ti 16GB are ready, lets go.

Your opinion isn't uncommon, I suppose it depends how much weight you put on narrative and interesting characters. To me everything since Origins has been totally devoid of it.

Black Flag is really where things started to go off the rails. They had no idea what to do after the Desmond saga, but the game itself was so good that it got away with it. And the shadow of Ezio still looms over the entire series, none of the protagonists since have lived up to him.

Black Flag was to me the worst AC game for a long time.After Desmond the saga died and it has been trying to continue on fumes.

But now I think Valhalla,Mirage,Shadows are all worse titles by far

I would agree that it's not a good Assassin's Creed game, but it is a remarkably good video game.

The cast of characters is also excellent and it ties into AC3 at the end, so the narrative is just about passable in terms of the wider story.

Great game sure but as a AC title it was awful.

The whole modern day since AC 4 is like "look it still exists"

If you buy this ubislop full price then you are the problem with this industry

Talking to jaguars and having to attack them 40 times to kill them....riiiight



Calling a jaguar an "ugly looking creature"

"You didn't think this through did ya".

He is talking to a jaguar.....

 

[John Marston]

Already preordered and can't wait to board those ships for hours!

 

[John Marston]

Honestly it looks worse than Odyssey and a I'm not talking about the visuals.

Then just get outta here if you're gonna shit on our fun.

Best first mate:

"Resynced"

Really, that's the best they could come up with? I apologize for whatever I may or may not have said about the FFVII names.

 

[John Marston]

When I don't care about a game I just ignore it simple as that.

Coming in here shitting on us will not hinder our enthusiasm.

I swear some of you enjoy more talking about games than actually playing them.

 

[Nephryte]

Superb OT ! Can't wait to play.

 

[WhamBamThankYouMaam]

Do you still have to jump around catching notes flying in trees and such?

It's AC/Animus so name makes sense for another visit.

 

[Saberq]

They should have called it Resinked

That sounds....fun....I've never played this. That's why I'm extra hyped!

I'm a pirate boy!

 

[Gusy]

When Black Flag originally released back in 2013 it was basically the realization of the Pirate Adventure game I always dreamed of as a kid. Now modernized it becomes once again the pirate game to end all pirate games.

This and flight sim will keep me fed until GTA releases.

 

[RJMacready73]

Don

bruh, crop your toes out

Dont be kink shaming

 

[Nephryte]

Can't wait for the reviews to roll down tommorow.

Ahh, fair point, I haven't actually played any AC games, I'm aware of the sci-fi framing but constantly forget. Of all the AC games though the pirate one was the one I most almost played!

I still would have gone with a more piratey word.

 

[John Marston]

I usually don't care but yes.
I heard they also added new sea shanties

I blame gamers for their irrational hatred for QTEs. Fact is that very little else can communicate urgency like a QTE can. There's a reason why goats like Resident Evil 4 (original) used them for quick fire scenarios like traps being sprung.
