​@@odioalospoopers Actually Origins / Odyssey / Valhalla play completely different compared to unity / syndicate and all other older assassins creed games. From the point of gameplay black flag feels much more like unity / syndicate than origins / odyssey / valhalla. And honestly syndicate was boring compared to Origin. The world was pretty damn nice but watching flamingos in egypt is pretty damn nice too and the gameplay is much more interesting in origin because they tried something new. Odyssey felt too grindy for me and every part of the world kinda looked the same. I did not enjoy it so much. I really enjoyed origins. In my opinion it is one of the best ac games ever from immersion and gameplay mechanics.

I can tell you that the diaries can be at times very difficult to read as most of the pages have holes in them from book worms and from iron gall burns. It is indeed enlightening to read about her life. However not much about her life is known after her last diary entry. She and one of my great-grandfathers had 2 children together but when they tried settling down, she found it too relaxing and "missed the action". So one day she left and never returned home. My forefather never took another wife("as all other women lacked her fire") and in one of his journal entries he said that every night he prayed for her safety and that Anne would find the happiness that she could find at home. Passed that it remains a mystery. A few members of my family have tried to find out what happened to her, but to no avail. They eventually came the conclusion that perhaps not knowing was for the better.

I will never forget the assassin's contract on a small island where you can't sneak up on the target for the intended target flees by ship and subsequent chase. I will never forget it because I chased the target without remorse through the island town. Efficiently dodging every obstacle I actually got to the end of the dock while he hopped on his ship. But I was too late. The ship pulls away from the dock. But you best believe I jumped the ever increasing gap to just barely cling onto the large lantern hanging off the back of the ship. I took the crew out quietly behind him, before slowly walking up behind him and collecting my reward. I tried to recreate it on a second playthrough later. I was never successful. But I will never forget the first time.

this is what Ubisoft always lacks: bad ragdoll physics, boring and repetitive missions, very few good quests, lack of detail, less blood and wounds, every game is the same, they should invest more in the game ..I am a Fan of R * I like Ubi's game but I don't like what I just mentioned. They were so close to have a super product but sad because they chose quantity over quality.

My grandpa often used to sit next to me as I played games. He would often make comments like "that little dude is always running! Doesn't he get tired?" whenever I played a Zelda game (or any third-person game where you walk/run a lot). My family is Cuban, and my grandfather was an avid fisherman. He used to tell me so many stories about his youth, when he used to go hunting and fishing with his father. Although this was way after the age of piracy in the caribbean, I still remember enjoying hearing the stories of pirates gramps used to tell. He, of course, heard them from his father, who heard them from who-knows-who... Being a fisherman, the games gramps would enjoy the most were those that heavily featured the sea. Oh, he was one cantankerous old person; The kind that sees video games as a waste of time... But oh did he like watching the seafaring games haha... Although he didn't much care for the aesthetic, he seemed to like Wind Waker. There was something about sailing through the Great Sea that felt so good... and I think it connected with him. The swelling, adventurous music, the waves, the horizon. Gramps passed away about a year prior to Black Flag's release and... well... I really miss him. I wish we'd have shared another moment or two talking about adventures in the caribbean. This game always reminds me of him, and I feel like that made the journey all that more emotional to me.

I wouldn’t say that it looks bad, it just looks old. Of course it is nearly 8 years old which means it’ll look old. It’s really the PC controls that aged terribly.

This game will always hold a special place in my heart. I beat it over the course of the only weekend in college I happened to ever have with my roommates away and no class simultaneously for a few days. So I would get stoned, order some of my favorite food, and have this amazing immersive experience playing it in isolation and falling deep into the gorgeous world. And it really felt like the last hurrah of being young. When I didn't have the weight of adult life pressing on my shoulders and always a constant nag in my brain I could be doing something productive, family or work wise, which makes it hard to ever truly just be in the present. The last time I could just let go, and for a few days get completely lost in the fantasy. The story made me cry at the end and I was so into the gameplay I beat all the extra content. Didn't even understand how to use the heavy shot so my ship battles against the legendary ships were brutal. I'm so glad I chose this game to play that time. The story even resonated with those feelings. Wanting to live truly free with no responsibilities but learning at the end it's not a sustainable. Going from being young and ideolistic to calmer and adult. This video truly captured what made Black Flag so beloved by many people. Even though it isn't perfect it's a game like no other as well. And while I find it a bit tedious to replay fully now due to various issues and dated mechanics and graphics, I still love occasionally dropping in to sail the seas with my crew as they cheer when I take the helm.

I can relate so much to what you said about being an adult and playing games verses when we were younger and playing games feels so different now because you can’t ever be as fully immersed in it as before because you know your wasting hours of time that could be put to better use. And even when doing it as a hobby just to relax it never feels the same as when you were a teen/child/young adult. Also btw what did you get a degree in and did you find a job in that field or did you end up in a different type of career? I’m just very curious.

I can tell you now its in every single game from AC III :) And AC III mentioned it in their pop up tutorials which I can confirm because I am té playing it now :) same thing with a fall roll when you falling from the greater hights you hold A on Xbox or X on PS and he'll do a roll I think but dont know when this was first introduced I know for sure in AC III Haytham and Connor do this Automaticaly.

This was the first game that really made me want to complete it just because of one thing, great inagua. It had the renovations which were enjoyable and it had the part in the cave where you could see your gold pile up as you got more. I was incentivized to complete the side activities because they could help with my own personal goal of being the richest Damn pirate ever.

The last people who thought that the world was flat was people who sailed on the Sea. At most they thought the world was a cylinder but always knew it wasn't flat.

This game has the best ending of all games ever, after sailing with edward, bonding with him, you understand what he feels about himself and his friends, and in the final moments when Anne sings that song, and you see all his lost comrades at the table you cant help but feel sad, yet it is a good sad, you see those who you and edward considered companions, considered friends. You see that he misses them yet is happy/ resolute about them, and his daughter. Honestly this was such a good game.

I love your reviews and retrospectives so much. It's rediscovering the games I loved but never knew how to describe those feelings to others. Your retrospective videos provide exactly that but with a new perspective.

39:31 I can't believe i watched this whole way through to end up basically being told 40 minutes in that "the real treasure was the friends we made along the way"

I think it’s very interesting how this ended up being in my opinion the most fun Assassins Creed. Pirate themed games have always seemed to be hard to execute and I think Assassins Creeds sometimes lack of identity helped it here in people able to just throw the assassin character right into pirate life and it worked. Gonna start playing this again

I personally feel BF's only great thing is it's story (It's one of the few AC games to actually explore its protagonist's relationship to the creed, something the devs pointed out), and even then 3 and Rogue outdo it. It's a barely passable game 4's gameplay isn't the best. Combat is the same boring OP instakill stuff since Brotherhood. Stealth in all forms is still basic.The map has far less interesting things going than 3 which had side stories and quests scattered about is cities and wilderness. Sailing got boring a few hours in because it wasn't expanded much. In 3, sailing was a side activity that was occasionally used. So its shallowness wasn't an issue given the brevity and setpieces that involved it. But 4 makes 60% of the game sailing without adding that much to justify it being 60% of the game. Sure, you can sail around and engage in ship battles, but you could already do that in 3. What few additions and improvements 4 added don't add enough to make it interesting. Ship combat is the same dance every time. Even exploration gets boring since all you can really do is sail around to find collectibles rather than actual stories and events. It would take until AC Ody to finally do that and make sailing mechanically more fun. This piece goes into much more detail on the sailing. mieckfram.blogspot.com/2019/06/a-critique-of-ac4-black-flags-sailing.html

Having a mix of characters with different perspectives on what that freedom means. Vane and Micah just using it as an excuse to be violent criminals. Hosea and Hornigold realising their way of life isnt really sustainable anymore. Hornigold takes it further than Hosea but the ideas are similar. Edward and high honour Arthur trying to find some sort of balance before it all comes tumbling down. Interesting how the whole pirate ideology mirrors the wild west cowboy ideology. Makes me think maybe a cowboy ac game could work well if they approached it similar to black flag.

What he means is that it’s significantly more challenging than in AC4. Captains in AC4 can totally be taken offensively. Shoot them with a pistol, then break their defence and instakill them like anybody else. In AC3, you at the very least need to pay attention to guard archetypes a lot more and memorize which actions can and can’t be performed against certain guard archetypes. In 4, it matters a lot less, because you can instakill any of them very easily.

The most intriguing part of Black Flag is its reverse story telling. In all of the other franchises, the protagonist loses all of their valued ones in the beginning of the story as they thrive for revenge which brings them in contact with the Assassin's. Edward on the other hand was the opposite, he had everything he wanted and found more valuable things and loved ones before joining the Assassin's. He only joined almost at the end of the story after he had lost everything. The things he gained and lost during his journey felt all the more impactful.

The final song "the parting glass" is one of my favourite songs of all time

I got this game in the summer of 2014 along with a ps4. It was my first job and it was the summer before my senior year of highschool. I bought black flag, The Last of Us Remastered, Killzone: ShadowFall and Infamous: Second Son. Black Flag easily became my favorite out of the four for awhile, everyday I would come home from school and go on crazy ass pirate adventures with my crew and sail the high seas. I have such good memories of that time, I enjoy my ps5 right now and the games released have been far better than the ps4 launch period but the ps4 to me was the last time I think I was a kid still and got excited for a new console release and got super duper absorbed by the world of a game like that.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood will always be my favorite. While Edward is a good character, his story lacks what Ezio excels in which is motive. Like you said, he is a drunkard and his wife left him, inspiring his sea travels even further, but Ezio was a true assassin. Ezio's story started with him being a young, dumb idiot just like Edward in AC2, that is until he watched his whole male family die in front of him because of the Templars. Ezio first took on the Assassin mantle because he was seemingly forced to not only to protect his family, but to avenge his brothers and father. Through most of the start of his Assassin journey in AC2 Ezio travels throughout renaissance Italy, which by the way is another plus to me because Italy in my opinion is a much better setting than the Caribbean, and he meets multiple secretive powerful figures that teach him the ways of what they are best at; La Volpe & Theft, Paola & Blending, Bartolomeo & Fighting, ie. Throughout AC2 Ezio is using each of these teacher's guidance to track down members of the Templar Order along the way and also finding many secrets. The revenge story mixed with the unprecedented guidance and maturity of Ezio makes AC2 my 2nd favorite game itself. Before I go into AC Brotherhood though, I must mention it is slightly unfair to compare 2 games to 1 but AC Brotherhood isn't nearly as good without understanding AC2 which is how it is meant to be. Anyways, when Rodrigo Borgia escapes in AC2 and it is revealed to Ezio that the people who have been mentoring him have been secret assassin's along, it becomes clear that the story is far from over that game ends with my favorite part of the series introducing the Isu and their connection to the World. AC Brotherhood takes what AC2 did well in terms of story and character and does it better. It begins with Ezio escaping the tomb where he discovered the Isu and realizing he allowed Rodrigo Borgia, now the Pope, to escape. It takes another step when Monterrigioni is attacked and Uncle Mario is killed in order for the Apple of Eden to be stolen by Cesare Borgia. Another plus to AC Brotherhood is the villain/Templar tree excelling. Ezio ends up in Rome where the majority of the story takes place and while I must say it is less diverse than the first map or BF's map, it is a perfect fit for the story. In Rome Ezio has to regain his ability after being severely damaged in Monterrigioni. Throughout the game Ezio not only aligns with new people who teach him even further, but he slowly takes over the city of Rome from the Borgia's. This concept really helped the game excel in my opinion allowing you to revive shops and businesses that had been shut down by the Borgias and earn revenue from these places. Not to mention collectibles and side objectives weren't obnoxious like they are in many games including BF. Ezio also discovers secrets of the city that help inspire mini plot lines that earn you unique armor and rewards. Not to mention, the innovation of the combat system introducing new weapons and techniques such as the crossbow made the game much more new feeling. Lastly, the character development, setting, and combat are all great, but the story is what gets me the most. You get to watch as you slowly cause mistrust and betrayal within the Borgia family and get to finish the main villain, Cesare Borgia, in quite a poetic way. Overall, AC Brotherhood is the best in my opinion because it's plot line is almost flawless, it's villain tree is extensive and deep, it's combat and parkour are excellent, and Ezio's character is brought to the climax of his life. He starts as a young, foolish man seeking revenge and this game finishes with him as a middle aged, mature and skilled assassin who now leads the Creed. Not only is his character amazing in that sense, but it does set up AC Revelations which brings his character from young and foolish to the complete opposite. Like i said before, it is unfair to judge 2 games vs 1 but those 2 games could basically be put together as one bringing Ezio and the plot line in full circle from revenge to maintaining what he has fought for all those years.

"graphically dated" I feel like 7th gen is aging pretty nicely visually. Running.them all maxed out in 4K 60FPS really lets what graphics they do have really shine. The leap from 2000 to 2010 was quite a bit more dramatic than the leap from 2010 to 2020. Black Flag still looks pretty good to me!

I couldn't agree more with you on this! The Palm trees, the sand, the vegetation that covers the ground, the lighting in the jungle, and not to mention how ripply and reflective the water is. All of the textures have an amount of detail that holds up to even today's standards. I particularly like the "water drops on the screen" effect when you dive in the sea or are sailing in a rainstorm. This effect is really well done, I think. It bends the light in a realistic way which adds a subtle amount of depth to the interface. And I must say, the lighting in the game is something I noticed especially. I remember this one time I was sailing west from Grand Cayman, and it must have been the dawn because the whole atmosphere had this misty glow about it which lasted for little while before breaking into daylight. Not to mention the cool god rays you get when sunlight finds its way into a tunnel on Great Inagua or Tulum. I seriously can't fault it. Aside from all my praise for the game's forward-thinking graphics, I have a bone to pick with some funky geometry. I noticed this primarily on structures. For example: -The parts where round things like sticks or posts look like they're glitched into whatever they're attached to -Any rope that's wound around anything wooden (jungle structures, masts, docks) is a polygon and not a circle -The climbable trees are distinct, rigid 3D polygonal shapes with texturing to make 'em look like wood -The ends of boards and planks are always clean-sawn, perfectly flat planes. You don't get to see any roughness in them. -Rain effect on the ground shows up below thatched rooves Other than those things, ACIV graphics stay remarkably strong seven years later. I'll be sad when the day comes where my new video game X is indisputably better than good ol' Black Flag!

Honestly, I love the bugs in Black Flag. Most aren't game breaking, and actually get a laugh out of me. I once kicked an enemy through a mast and created a singularity, spaghettifying him.

To be honest i finished black flag for the third time this year, and in every gameplay of mine these bugs never appeared, my pc was not that good so i was running the game with lowest graphics, maybe these bugs and glitches appeared because you ran the game with 4k, i don't really know but i gave my real hours to the game and explored everywhere I can, but never ran into these bugs. man this game is good.

Thank you so much for making this video. This game truly was something special.

When I was in Highschool I got into a massive argument with my friend about wether or not Edward was a actual assassin. His main argument? “He didn’t have an official ceremony”. That’s the day I learned a lot of people don’t actually understand Edwards story.

Yeah, I don't get when people say this isn't a good "Assassin's Creed" game. As WhiteLight said, the pirate dream is similar to the Assassin's dream but it is a more corrupted and selfish version. Edward is able to learn the difference because of the time he spends with the pirates and assassins and it is integral to his character development.

i think its all a matter of preference. having played every game in the franchise, my favorite games in the franchise are the least assassiny ones, because 1.i hate FORCED stealth and 2. the whole creed part of assassins creed is really dumb in my opinion. "nothing is forbidden and everything permitted" nonsense... why keep saying that if its a huge lie and this is really just freedom versus order? i absolutely loved black flag because, well you're running around being a pirate, not some morality murder police. i loved odyssey your a merc in the middle of a massive war, and dont even have the dumb edge lord assassin blade. they are great. revelations was the best of the ezio trilogy because it ended with him going "man screw this assassin stuff.... i quit" heck i liked 3 because connor tended to just charge into the fights rather than sneak around. i guess what im trying to say is that the "assassin" stuff i feel is gimmiky nonsense getting in the way of my universal studios theme park ride through a historical period, lol. whereas other people probably have the very opposite opinion, they love all the edgy assassin stuff, so their least favorite games are the same ones that are my favorites. i mean im well aware that most people disliked 3, and odyssey got rather mixed reviews. so if they say "black flag is not a good assassins creed game" its probably because you spend 95% of the game as just a pirate, and its far more character focused than about the big templar=bad assassin=good conflict and reasons like that. which is coincidentally the exact same reasons i love the shit out of it. make sense? or did i ramble too much? lol

E. Corellius Your good man, everyone has there opinion. I love the stealth and the story’s. The kenway family will always be my favorite cause of how they were both brought into the creed (and a son who who was brainwashed into the order). Syndicate and unity also being favorites cause of the story’s. I played origins and odyssey both once and hated them. Not even gonna touch Valhalla. Some people like just killing in historical periods. And there’s people who love the older games because of a good story and the hidden blade.

I just want a remastered version of this. This is my favorite AC game next to the OG AC1 and the Ezio trilogy.

I very rarely run away in this game, I just always stand there and say 'come get me' Sometimes when it says 'run away and become anonymous' I stay and fight the 'overwhelming' ammount of enemies

Quick question for everyone here: When/did you find out that - when a bunch of guards run out to block a hallway and raise their swords to attack - the 100% funniest and sometimes most speedrun friendly option is to straight up jump at them and act like you're Stinkmeaner from the Boondocks with a kick straight to their chest? Another use for the jump button at the very least.
