And they still won’t give us a decent pirate game.

 

[Black_Stride]

Give us Assassins Creed: Unity 2: Unitier

 

[Banjo64]

And they still won’t give us a decent pirate game.

They did. It’s called AC Black Flag.

 

[Ammogeddon]

They did. It’s called AC Black Flag.

Since then you silly goose.

 

[drotahorror]

I was just thinking about installing AC Unity the other day. Never really cared for any AC games though.

 

[Red5]

Best AC game in spite of the AC plot and lore. If they had removed all the AC gibberish plot and just made a pirate game I wouldn't have noticed.

 

[Kurotri]

Hopefully they nail the remake, but considering Ubi Singapore is working on it I'm not too optimistic.

 

[Moses85]

And still no successor of this glorious Game

 

[semiconscious]

wow! that's almost exactly 34 million more than those who've played skull & bones...

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Probably my favorite Creed game. Also, thanks for introducing this weird metric, Microsoft...

 

[Lunarorbit]

I took a elective in grad school that dealt with video games and ac black flag and skyrim were two of the games we played and discussed.

My professor was a huge kingdom hearts nerd. Helped that she was only a year or two older than me

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

It's odd that they never returned to the setting despite its success.

 

[Deerock71]

Random.

 

[M.W.]

Random.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

34 people will probably play skull and bones.

How has this game taken so long when they had the framework for an amazing pirate game already there. Unbelievable.

 

[nani17]

Next week Nintendo will announce how many people have played Super Mario World

 

[Rheon]

I thought this would be a joke thread based on that Starfield thread lol.

 

[John Marston]

My best AC hands down.
Because it mostly doesn't feel like AC. Because of the characters you meet along the way.
Because of the boarding.
I swear I spent so much time just drinkin' beer and boarding ships like a madman

Mark Bonnar was stellar as Blackbeard and so was Ralph Ineson as Charles Vane.
Just a great cast all around.

I also enjoyed that you just wasted an incompetent buffoon assassin and took his uniform at the beginning instead of the usual "Dead parents" revenge plot.

 

[BouncyFrag]

 

[Fake]

Best of the series

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Deceptive reporting to inflate success.

That's a big number, Ubes.

How many people DIDN'T play it, though? I bet at least 5.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Then put out a current gen patch for 60fps and 1440p/4K resolutions.

 

[existensmaximum]

It's such a fun and addictive pirate game! Not much of an AC game though, that part of the story was rather lame and I don't really think the two themes were a good match but whatever.

 

[FeralEcho]

That's 34 million people more than there will be for Skull and Bones.

 

[T-Cake]

I thought they would have done a Black Flag remaster by now.

 

[Skifi28]

Then put out a current gen patch for 60fps and 1440p/4K resolutions.

Yeah, the game doesn't even have ps4 pro support being so old. It'd be nice if they patched it, Ubisoft has had a pretty good track recording patching older games this gen.

 

[Flutta]

Best AssCreed game , so not surprised!

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

I played it during early covid lockdowns and was very surprised when I tried the MP as it was still quite active (on PC at least). Hopefully the rumors about the remake are true.

 

[mitch1971]

Enjoyed AC rogue as well.

 

[NewYork214]

Probably my favorite. Or ezio collection as a whole

 

[Merkades]

I bought this day one for my PS4 and have yet to play it... I also have this on PC for a few years (was free at some point) and still have not played it. Some day, I guess. Along with Persona 5 (also day one steel case edition).

 

[LiquidMetal14]

"Thirty four million"

- - Dr.Evil

This bullshit measuring including any form to play he game like game passes etc.

Just like Starfield being played by 11m. It means a big nothing burger.

 

[March Climber]

And they still won’t give us a decent pirate game.

Since then

It's odd that they never returned to the setting despite its success.

Try this:

 

[K' Dash]

Makes sense, that was peak AC.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

And they still won’t give us a decent pirate game.

Of those 34 million, I think I'm the only one who didn't like the game.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Not even Moses had so much power

 

[SirKicksalot]

I had no idea it was out for the old consoles in October. Man, dumbass execs really thought consoles will be replaced by phones back then...
Rogue was also made because they were stupid, but the ice action was awesome.

 

[AJUMP23]

Black flag was a fun one.

 

[BadBurger]

Ten years? Dear lord I am old.

Also the best AC game in the franchise if you ask me.

 

[Northeastmonk]

I started getting burned out by the AC formula during AC3. I bought AC4. I couldn’t get into it. There were so many other PS4 games that I got into. You had the Remasters of 2013 and 2014. 2015 was the best year for games. IV and Syndicate flew over my head. Once they phased Desmond out, I lost interest. It became a simulation inside Ubisoft. The modern day stuff really started to drag. IV sounded cool.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

That's UbiSoft pretending to bring something new to the table. LMAO!

 

[ryzen1]

Black Flag and Unity were by far the best games in the franchise

 

[jorgejjvr]

Where's my remaster

 

[StueyDuck]

Well it's still (sadly) the only real AAA pirate open seas adventure there is.

And yes campaign open world. Sea of theives is a different beast altogether, and is doing well because again its the only AAA multiplayer pirate game

 

[Drizzlehell]

Kind of random to announce this now, considering the game is almost 10 years old. Are they trying to drum up interest for a remake or something?

Anyway, great game, possibly my all time favorite AC. It's so much fun that even the mid story doesn't spoil it too much.

It's more likely they are trying to drum up interest for their failing pirate game currently in development hell

 

[MoreJRPG]

This was the first game I played on my PS4 when I got it and I was blown away by it. Definitely one of the best entries in the series and one of the few that felt "fresh" upon release.

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

Try this:

That's a much shorter spinoff game. I'd think you know what I meant about returning to the setting later with a full sequel.

 

[March Climber]

Rogue is 10-15 hours without sidequests…I guess Skull and Bones will be out someday for you guys.
