Re: Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag

It has to be like that. It's the Carribean Sea. It's the ocean. Oceans are big. What do you want it to be?

Would it feel right to sail out of Kingston and in two seconds be in Nassau? Use fast travel if that's your biggest complaint.

What if you're trying to battle the Royal convoy and the game world is populated to the gills with more ships or islands? How you gonna maneuver without ramming random ships or running a ground?

I don't see how a more populated map would make the game better. It's the ocean. If you've never been on one I'll tell you, they're 99.99% water. Also, this is the new world. It's not the old country with huge populated cities. It's still very wild. I think Ubisoft did a terrific job accurately portraying the time and place.

I'm more disappointed I think on the fact that 90% of the land is unreachable.

Am I the only one that doesn't LOVE this game? It's lots of repetitive and/or nothingness...

It's a giant world, sure, but it's 70% nothing.

So you're most disappointed that there is not more reachable repetitive nothingness?

I'm fighting a losing battle. I yield.

Re: Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag

Anyone complete the single player community challenge that was going on the last few days?

I completed it and got the message saying congrats and the explorer outfit has been unlocked only it's still listed as unavailable in Kenway's cabin.

Re: Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag

I picked this up over the weekend and got couch sores just about. Ive liked any of these games ive played and this one blew me away so far. My only complaint is I dont know what to do next! I feel like I need to keep doing story missions to unlock things (ive heard of a dart blowgun but dont have it yet for example) and I wonder if unlocking everything for edward first makes things like assassination missions easier/more flexible?

I dabbled into the multiplayer and had fun but a lot of it seems to assume you know all the ins and outs already. One specific question I had was in manhunt 4v4 your radar shows the usual pie slice showing your enemy but also has other little indicators outside the ring. Are you supposed to kill the one you have the pie slice for or is it ok to kill anyone on the other team? I also had red triangles pop up around the radar and im not entirely sure what those mean. Anyone know a good in depth guide to mp even if its for a past game in the series? Ive read articles on top tier tactics but those tend to focus on the meta game. I want to make sure I know all the basics. Even the wolf pack missions left gaps I thought.

AC3 had some very good multiplayer tutorials that discussed and pointed out things that only elite players really knew about, like whispers. I haven't played MP on AC4 yet but I'm surprised there aren't any tutorials explaining the compass and radar.

Maybe see if you can find tutorial vids on YouTube?

So am I correct in assuming that I'm better off playing the previous 3 titles before playing this one?

I didn't have any problems, and I've only played about half of the first one.

I haven't played this one yet (It's on my list of games to get) but I'm pretty sure you don't have to play the previous ones, but it would help if you do so.

Hmm, might go ahead then. I did finish the first AC, got somewhere between 25% of the 2nd before stopping and forgetting the details of the story.

You'd have a lot of catching up to do. There's actually 5 main console releases prior to AC4.

The story isn't really directly related to the previous games so you would be ok I think.

I feel ya man. Since a lot of people really like the game, the fact that you don't share the same thoughts is preposterous. Theres absolutely nothing wrong with the game, only problems are with your objective views of it. If everyone else likes it you must also. Or else! Please catch my sarcasm....I agree with you.

The game is nice, and looks good and everything else. But at its core it's still AC. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. However as many times as ive tried I just lose interest, and ive played at least a little bit of every iteration, some more than others.

I'm not knocking the game or the people who enjoy it. Just a lot of the same over and over. And I've only played the first 4 or so missions.

That said I'll likely give it another go on ps4 just to have a story to play at launch. A good story can carry even the most monotonous games.

Re: Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag

I owned Part 2 and LOVED IT.
I skipped part 3. But hearing the good things about Black Flag, I may have to pick this up.

I want to get a holiday game to have some fun with while on vacation.
I'm leaning towards this or XCOM: Enemy Unknown.

Re: Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag

Assassin's Creed 4 PS4 update will upgrade resolution from 900p to 1080p

Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag's PS4 version may currently only run at 900p resolution, but an update will be out "shortly after release" sprucing it up to a nice and shiny 1080p.

Another benefit of the update is that it will implement new anti-aliasing technology, something Trottier suggested is actually more significant than the higher resolution.

Thankfully, this new anti-aliasing feature won't just be for PS4, but Xbox One as well.

Oh I do like it, but boarding follows the same script and besides sailing on the ocean there's very little exploring. Perhaps I'm too spoiled by the frontier in AC3, but most of the islands are copy/paste little things that are a foot wide and long.
