It looks pretty fucking badass.

Kind of lame about the 60 minute bonus content for PS3 but whatever, that won't get me to buy a PS3 so I'll have to do without.

I just saw this!

knd of silly considering they said desmond is done...but its connor's grandfather

also nice avatar.

I'm pretty excited since the Aquila portions were the best in the last game.

Blyss · « **Reply #3 on:** 01 Mar 2013, 10:54 »

Aaaaand, I think that makes AC3 the last that I'll purchase in the line. Sorry, but a pirate's life is not for me in an AC game.

Ah well, I still have plenty of other games to get.

Aethien · « **Reply #4 on:** 01 Mar 2013, 12:39 »

Why not? Seems like that's a good explanation for how the family ended up in the states. Plus, there's a lot of potential awesome and a new type of environment. It's also made by the same guys who made Brotherhood and Revelations so I've got good hopes that it'll avoid the lololpirate cliches.

The debut trailer has been leaked

LeeC · « **Reply #6 on:** 03 Mar 2013, 16:31 »

looks interesting. perhaps no animus in this one? since they said Desmond's story is over?

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #7 on:** 04 Mar 2013, 08:55 »

First reports, at least Kotaku, are saying it's gonna be a lot like Wind Waker. Which, in my mind, makes it even better

~~GarandMarine~~ · « **Reply #8 on:** 14 Mar 2013, 02:21 »

This is the first AC game I've been pumped for in awhile, AC3 was... just not good imho. Put my pre order in though, and got a sweet map.

@ Blue Kitty

i know its just a cinematic trailer but it really looks awesome. Ah the french. Good games and cool enough to put themselves in getting slaughtered.

Damn, but I'd love me some larceny on the high seas . . . *sighs* so many games, so little money.

That ship seems to be more of a speedboat than a sailing ship, I must say.

Jace · « **Reply #17 on:** 23 Jun 2013, 23:47 »

Want an early 1900s one where one of your marks is a certain archduke. Then maybe I'll play free running with killing every once in a while again.

RedWolf4 · « **Reply #18 on:** 24 Jun 2013, 00:06 »

Yeah, I wouldn't mind playing a Creed game where they just splash the grey area all over. It'd be pretty cool.

LeeC · « **Reply #19 on:** 24 Jun 2013, 05:28 »

considering the templars want to dominate and control, the map pre and post WW1 kind of shows the assassin's handy work for people to govern themselves... particularly in eastern Europe. Hell after WW2 the british and french Empires started to break apart into their own governments (peacefully so with elections and stuff for the most part).

So they are making an Assassin's Creed movie due out in late spring/early summer 2015 produced and staring Michael Fassbender and written by the guy who did the Bourne movies.

~~GarandMarine~~ · « **Reply #22 on:** 09 Sep 2013, 18:25 »

I am surprisingly okay with this.

Hannah trying out AC:4 on the PS4

What a dull demo. I don't give a shit about shooting small mammals - show me combat, assassinations, sword fights, acrobatics. I already know the graphics are good and the game is set on tropical islands and boats.

~~GarandMarine~~ · « **Reply #27 on:** 29 Oct 2013, 21:22 »

I concur the demo in that vid was weak. Lots of stabbing and sword play to go about in game though! Woo!

J · « **Reply #28 on:** 04 Nov 2013, 10:59 »

I will be displeased if this game does not have Henry Rollins talking like a pirate somewhere in it.

~~GarandMarine~~ · « **Reply #29 on:** 08 Nov 2013, 22:31 »

How I play Assassin's Creed 4:
"Well, then, I confess, it is my intention to commandeer one of these ships, pick up a crew in Tortuga, raid, pillage, plunder and otherwise pilfer my weasely black guts out."
-Captain Jack Sparrow

So before the game came out Green Peace flipped shit because there is whaling in the game. I can safely say that the whaling "mini game" is absolutely disgusting and brutal. It may in fact be one of the best awareness raising devices I have EVER seen for just the concept of how terrible a practice whaling really is. It's just... ugh.

Protip: You can pet the animals like in Assassin's Creed 3, but do not pet the crocodiles

Ugh, I can't wait for my next gen console to get paid off. So that I can sink money into this. Because pirates.

I may have to say fuck AC1-3 and just get black flag

~~GarandMarine~~ · « **Reply #33 on:** 11 Nov 2013, 16:33 »

Hardcore. I might actually buy that DLC.

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #34 on:** 12 Nov 2013, 14:20 »

The game came out less than two weeks ago, and they're already hyping DLC? That's some impressive money grubbing right there.

~~GarandMarine~~ · « **Reply #35 on:** 12 Nov 2013, 14:30 »

Welcome to modern game development?

LeeC · « **Reply #36 on:** 12 Nov 2013, 14:59 »

considering they announced black flag a month after AC3 came out, I am going to agree with GM here.

There was a preview for it on the main menu on the first day I got the game.

LeeC · « **Reply #38 on:** 12 Nov 2013, 20:18 »

the cripple and boarding tutorial was harder than the actual crippling and boarding!

~~GarandMarine~~ · « **Reply #39 on:** 12 Nov 2013, 20:40 »

Mmmmm few things more satisfying then taken a 100 gun galleon and having the "win condition" be destroying her ensign. Standing on the top of the mast in the midst of the sea, that is some cinematic, victoriouness right there.

LeeC · « **Reply #40 on:** 12 Nov 2013, 21:28 »

or did I imagine it?

Is anyone else having a hard time harpooning? I almost killed the White Whale, which I guess is one of the hardest, but he keeps destroying the boat

~~GarandMarine~~ · « **Reply #42 on:** 13 Nov 2013, 19:34 »

Yes. I find the minigame quite difficult. In many respects.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #43 on:** 15 Nov 2013, 19:54 »

Oh man, the lower your wanted level option when boarding ships has the best animatic. The people are all tied up and you cut their ropes to free them, and they look so confused. One of your crew gives a guy a big hug as you shake the captain's hand. "No hard feelings mate, just wanted to blast some holes in your ship"

LeeC · « **Reply #44 on:** 15 Nov 2013, 20:14 »

yeah I laughed at the spaniard's confused-shocked-scared look when he got the bear hug.

~~GarandMarine~~ · « **Reply #45 on:** 15 Nov 2013, 20:19 »

That animation never ceases to be hilarious.

Chorus:
Help me Bob I'm bully in the alley. Way, hey, bully in the alley.
Help me Bob I'm bully in the alley. Bully down in Shinbone Al.

Sally is a girl that I loved dearly, (Way, hey, bully in the alley)
Sally is a girl that I spliced nearly, (Bully down in Shinbone Al)

For seven long years I courted Sally, (Way, hey, bully in the alley)
All she did was dilly-dally, (Bully down in Shinbone Al)

I left Sal and I went a-sailing. (Way, hey, bully in the alley)
Signed on a big ship, I went a-whaling, (Bully down in Shinbone Al)

If I ever get back to her I'll marry little Sally. (Way, hey, bully in the alley)
Have six kids and live in Shinbone Alley (Bully down in Shinbone Al)

I thought I heard the old man saying, (Way, hey, bully in the alley)
One more chorus then we're belaying, (Bully down in Shinbone Al)

So I just beat it and I enjoyed it, but I kind of wish the out-of-game character had some personality.

Mannnnnnn, I just got this for the Xbone, and it makes me really, really wish I hadn't lost my tricorne moving back to my hometown all that time ago. Fecking loving it so far.

Btw, am I the only one who pronounces it X-bone? By the way you capitalized it seems you do too, but it still makes me chuckle.
