Today’s Game is Assassins Creed Black Flag. Honestly I’m kind of impressed I made it too 10 days. I totally expected myself to miss a day on my streak. Also. A few people in the past have asked about posting screenshots in the comments or stealing the idea for their own posts. Assuming the mods are chill with it I have no issues with people doing either of those things. I just want people to have fun

    I want a game like Sid Meiers Pirates: Live the life, but in the style of Black Flag.

    I basically don’t have friends anymore, so no sea of thieves, and it frustrated me when we did try playing a few years back.

    I still fire the Xbox up occasionally so I can roam around plundering shi(t/p)

    I way prefer these kind of gaming posts than the gaming “news”. So please keep posting these.

    Does the Pirate Ship gameplay in black flag still hold up? I remember everyone used to rave about how good it was.

      I will say that I am incredibly biased for this game. To the point that My friends when we play Sea of Thieves always have to listen to me (jokingly) complain about how Sea of Thieves should control the ship more like Black Flag. But I still find that its naval controls is by far one of my favorite methods of doing it. It’s done in a way where it’s not too clunky and you need to micromanage, but it doesn’t take away from the action and makes you really feel epic. At least that’s how I personally about it

    Please keep going!

    Black Flag is one of my all-time favorite gaming experiences. Crazy how long ago it was, covering my feet with a blanket during winter, humming pirate songs while sailing in the open sea.

      I get that. I played it originally on PS3 when I was younger. To this day the PS3 controller is just the most comfortable way for me to play it just because of the nostalgia I have for sitting in bed playing it buried under a fuckton of blankets with my head poking out

    Would’ve been a really great game if it weren’t an Assassin’s Creed, but just a pirate game.

        Not the name, the AC game mechanics. It could’ve been an even better pirate game if it had focused on its strengths and dropped the AC baggage.

          I disagree. The fact that it was a mix between pirating stuff and acrobatic land exploration helped making sure you never got tired of any mechanic. A game solely focusing on the boat would have gotten monotonous in my opinion

    I’d like to go back and play the AC series. Played from the first AC to this one, and stopped because of burnt out.

    Now it seems like I’ve been missing a lot and skipping some games to continue to the latest games feels like I won’t be able to enjoy the series.

      lmao. I get that. I’ve been trying to avoid repeating games, so I try to mix things up. Honestly the most of what I’ve been playing lately is Skyrim and Fallout NV
