Pirates are gay and so is assassins creed
I read that (game spoilers)spoiler (click to show/hide)the main character isn't an assassin. maybe he becomes one later on, I didn't read much, but he starts as a pirate who kills an assassin and takes his clothes/identity.
the real world/non-animus stuff is about Abstero, a fictional game developer. you're a game tester working on the studio's pirate video game.[close]
sounds so dumb. it's great. I'm also waiting on impressions of the game before I decide on it.
From what I can suss out from the reviews I've read, it's a good game as long as you're not doing any of the typical AssCreed stuff.Or care about the insipid fiction.

Series feels like exactly where they ended up with Prince of Persia. They pumped out so many so fast that nobody cares anymore.
I could have played POP rehashes for a few more years if they hadn't gone the ANGST route after SOT. They did pile on a bit much on this series though...I haven't really played one to completion since II (I am part of the problem cause I own them all).The one that came after the cartoony Nolan North voiced reboot is actually pretty good. Pretty, too.
I'm prolly gonna rent the ONE version...... and regret it very, very much
didn't they ditch those after the first game?

In Ezio's trilogy, yeah. I don't recall evesdropping. Tailing someone, sure. Which I guess could be under that umbrella, but evesdropping: No.
AC3/Connor? No. They're back and they're fucking HORRIBLE due to the bug AI and bug side-marks for 100% sync.
Not sure where people are seeing this game looks phenomenal. So far kinda looks assy. Decent fun though, just got to havana.

It looks ok. Nice colors, lots of trees/city in view, but honestly just looks like a 5 year old game like AC2 on PC. The best part about it is the smoothness and lack of load times on PS4.
I actually think the graphics took a step back from AC3. 4 has better colors, more interesting environment, but the structures and environmental effect (snow footsteps) and forest stuff in 3 is a lot more "next-gen" looking. AC3 has better lighting too. AC4 almost feels like it's back to the AC2 engine.

I made it to the part a couple of hours into the game where you had to eavesdrop on the guys in the fortress AND OH MY DEAR SWEET GRANDMA WHAT IS THIS BULLSHIT??? I did power through it, but it didn't take too much longer before I tossed that game back in the Steam trash pile.

The best part about it is the smoothness and lack of load times on PS4.The water looked pretty great in videos and the vegetation is much more high res and actually moves as you touch it. What about crowds? More people, more model variety, that sort of thing.

Weird. Even with the higher resolution, PS4/Xbone should be capable of much more than the last-gen consoles. I highly doubt it but did more processing power get allocated for gameplay elements like AI?
It's not like they were aiming for 1080/60fps on PS4/XBone. I'm guess that AC4 still runs at 30fps even after PS4 patch?
Yes, AC4 is 30fps/1080p after patch. It's a reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally shit engine. Runs terrible on PC and that's probably why you're not seeing anything too crazy with the PS4/Xbone versions. The AC2 engine ran really well on both consoles and PC, but the new engine they made for AC3 & AC4 seems to truly be a PoS. People with $3,000 gaming computers can't get anywhere near 60fps on PC and it doesn't even look all that impressive. Just a bad engine and I doubt Ubisoft will spend the effort to optimize it over the years and instead will just stick with 30fps console versions and busted ass PC versions.
It bugs me like crazy that I can't crouch or drop to the group.
I think you'll like this one demi if you don't expect too much out of the story.

All I need to know is answered; skip III, go straight to IV, buy a pirate hat. Got it!
