Today's game is Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag. This is one of my favorite games of all time. I first played through it on PS3 when i was younger and have fond memories of it, especially the story. Though Unity will always have my favorite game play, Black Flags story will always be one of my favorites.
I went ahead and played through the entirety of Sequence 7 today. I even did some of Sequence 8. I got this fun photo of the sunset while capturing a fort shortly after that. It kind of reminds me of Pirates of the Caribbean with that scene where the flip the boat while sailing into the sunset.
After which i went and played checkers against the AI. I ended up in a tie after 40 minutes. I got a screenshot of this guy passed out on the table to commemorate my win.
I love seeing another Unity enjoyer around here. That game is severely underrated and had it not had that disastrously buggy launch the AC franchise could have gone in a completely different direction than the open world RPG flavour we ended up with. Plus, revolutionary Paris is one of the best realized video game cities of all time, it's just beautiful.
the launch definitely killed Unity's success. Syndicate was still in a similar vane but i miss the outfit customization and the multiplayer. The online aspect brought a lot of fun to the game
