I’m not the commenter you asked, but I think of Black Flag as a really conflicting game.

On one hand, all of the pirate stuff is really fun. Spearfishing, diving, being on your boat and plundering ships is probably the most fun in any oldschool Creed game.

But if I have to rate it as an AC game, it’s terrible. The story is middling at best, the protagonist is really unlikable, the whole Assasins vs. Templars theme feels shoved in needlessly and the main mission design is absolute ASS. It feels like 70% of all main missions have you tail someone…or something. I mean, the game has a mission where you have to sneekily tail a ship…with your ship. It’s almost like the game is parodying itself.

Now imagine this with even more boatloads (pun intended) of microtransactions everywhere… I really don’t see current Ubisoft delivering a Remake that’s not worse than it was back then.

We already know how things like that can be monetized - just look at the Honey scandal. You rip off both users and business customers… But this time with AI.

What a novel idea, Phoebe. Such Innovation, much wow!

Yes

That would be honorable, so that’s not an option for the orange peril

Given Macroslops recent track record with updates I find it more likely that all Win 11 PCs will be bricked within 18 months…
