I bailed on this stupid franchise after 3
The pirate ones right after 3 were pretty fun, but they've gone downhill super fast and became bloated messes lol
Until that stealth ship mission, i tried it like 20 times then ragequitted, still don't know if that was a bug or that mission was 100 times harder than everything in this game up to that point.
Mandatory stealth missions in games not focused on stealth tend to fucking suuuuuuuck.
The old Return to Wolfenstein game from the early 2000s was great except for that fucking "alarm goes off, game over" bullshit mission partway through.
I think they dropped that shit in Rogue, but I honestly don't remember lol. Definitely
the mission
There were multiple pirate ACs?!
Assassin's Creed Rogue is set in the NE United States, but it's pretty much the same gameplay with some new goodies. It's also the weird Templar propaganda one that not too many people played. I like it because it's relatively short.
Yep, AC4 and AC: Rogue, though I didn't realize the latter even existed until now. Came out the same day as 5 so that's probably why.
The first 2 games really looked like they were building to an AC game set entirely in present day, and I was looking forward to it. When that never happened, I lost interest very quickly.
I tried Black Flag a couple years after it launched and was so annoyed at how bad the stealth was I gave up in an hour. Like man, If two guard are walking shoulder to shoulder and I snag one and the other doesn't even look, I'm out.
I wasn't, as the overarching Dan Brown meets Ancient Aliens plot was always my least favourite part of the entire series. Still, the way the second and third Ezio games kept faffing about with said plot and the way AC3 sloppily discarded the "Desmond Miles has to stop the 2012 Mayan apocalypse" thing all four previous games had been building up to and then seemingly promising endless AC sequels just solidified to me that Ubisoft didn't give a shit about the story at all and I just walked away
I've been meaning to pirate AC4 because people said it was good and because the idea of a pirate game is really fun even if I have to suffer through the trappings of the AC universe
AC4 is also funny because you play as an employee at Ubisoft who is using the animus to dive through history to find interesting events that you can insert into the slop video game the company is developing.
