Genuine question: how did everyone feel about Black Flag? I know I am not the only one but for one main reason, the game just did not click with me.

I personally feel Ubisoft went all in on ship based stuff and it was extremely annoying. I didn’t like one of the final missions of AC3 due to its boat combat and I just never could remove my disdain of it when I got to 4

I was actually really into it. Was the first time I saw them doing something new with the franchise that hadn't been done before and the ship gameplay was really fun. Building up your ship was a good side goal to have to the main game.

Takes me back to a time when companies tried to make interesting games and not maximize profits.

It was a shitty Assassin's Creed game, but an amazing game on its own merits. I wish it wasn't part of the AC series tbh.

I genuinely think it's a masterpiece of semi-casual gaming, it's so easy to get into doing something you feel like doing and to waste as much time as you feel like, yet it always feels like you're making some form of progress
