The devs of the earlier games described what makes an assassins creed game with 3 pillars combat, parkour, and social stealth so that’s what I would say makes up a real AC game. Black flag has all of these things and it does focus on the brotherhood more than any other AC game other than AC 1 but it decides for most of the game to explore the brotherhood from the outside perspective of a pirate. These three pillars are exclusively assassin‘s Creed and were the former AC identity before origins made the AC brand exactly like every other Ubisoft game (mediocre dog ass).
I think when a lot of people say it’s a good game but not a good assassin’s creed game they’re trying to say that it lacks the originality of the original few games. I couldn’t name a single other franchise where you could use each of these “pillar mechanics” in succession.
I only like the older games in this series because the newer game’s key mechanics and format aren’t exclusive to AC and aren’t even done slightly as well as most games with a similar “format”
I love your videos Aqua. I definitely think the next game you should talk about is Days Gone. I think it is a severely under appreciated PS4 game, and also has the biggest disparity between player and reviewer opinions that I’ve ever seen.
I'm also at the end of Black flag just got one last sequence left. And its more of a Pirate game than an Assassins Creed game. Sure there are Assassins and Templars. But the story is revolved around Edwards life. How he only work for his own personal gains without caring much for anyone else. And at the end he was left for nothing. Everyone who cared for Edward dies.
Actually, Bonnett gets captured and hung, which is mentioned by the guards during the prison escape. They mention that he cries and begs for forgiveness. It's incredibly depressing.
Seeing him on the dinner table broke my heart but I just ignored it, and then I caught that dialogue on a replay. Genuinely made me wanna cry more than anything in this series.
Thing is, he's a fantastic historical figure! "The gentleman pirate" they called him. Dude was just lower aristocracy and decided ti go into the piracy life, giving his pirates a regular pay instead of share of the loot, reading to them, and overall being a really swell guy. He, being as he was, wasn't so successful, so he found Blackbeard crewless and shipless and gave him temporary control over his ship and crew cause he needed the expertise. Funnily enough, Blackbeard actually returned them once he got back on his feet. There's so much more going on that I can't recall with fidelity, definitely go look him up.
there's a taika waititi project called our flag means death which is a pirate-esque sitcom which puts stede bonnet and ed thatch as a couple. I've heard it's hilarious.
The thing that genuinely kept me going on the waves was the shanties and the ship combat was done extremely well to me and there were just a lot of mechanics that were enjoyable
The dude that sings most of them, Sean Deaghar, actually has a UA-cam channel under his name where he covered a lot of shanties and even did historical dives into some of them
25:06 I thought he was about to play some of my favorite songs ever the sea shanties from this game. Maybe some Lowlands Away or Way Me Susianah then I hear "FORTNITE BATTLE PASS"
Not so fun fact: Bonnet was actually hung for piracy in Charleston, South Carolina. The scene with him and Edward saying goodbye is last time Edward would ever hear from him. He was hung three weeks after Blackbeard was killed in North Carolina. It’s kind of tragic because he was actually a very nice person by all accounts.
Your black flag experience completely mirrors mine. I got the game for Christmas the year of its release, I played it for a few days and didn’t give it a chance. A few years later I played the game through after hearing good things about it, & wow did I regret not giving it a chance. This game was golden, a well needed breath of fresh air.
Honestly I feel this exact way about Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla. Those three games are actually AMAZING ngl, but I've heard nothing but bad so I straight up just almost didn't give them a chance
Parting Glass, Edward reminiscing his dead friends (even the ones who betrayed him) and giving the flower to his estranged daughter whose mother died... This ending man. Breaks me every time 🥲
Even if you skipped through the story and just played the pirate side the parting glass at the end brought everything together shattering most people and getting them to play again and enjoy the time with your companions.
Black flag is the story about becoming an Assassin. Whereas in other AC games like 1,2 and 3 you get the reins as an Assassin relatively early and throughout the game you become a better Assassin. Moreover, unlike with Valhalla and Odeyssey they used themes of Freedom as a similar struggle for both Assassins and Pirates
It’s the first game where a true outsider, someone with no prior connection through family or other, is discovering the Assassins and finding a connection to the Creed. Altaïr grew up with it. Giovanni intended to bring Ezio into the Brotherhood and many of his allies in II were also in the Brotherhood guiding him. It wasn’t until Revelations where Ezio truly explored himself in relation to the Creed and his interpretation. Conner’s father was a Templar, a seasoned veteran of one and already an intended target of the Colonial Brotherhood, and the conflict nothing new to the Kenway family. Edward didn’t have family in the Brotherhood, his parents were humble sheep farmers and he stumbled into the conflict quite by chance. Yes, the novelisation adds in that people who ran him out of his home town were Templar led, but a farmer young man with known alcohol issues in a relationship with a wealthy man’s daughter would ruffle feathers anyway.
AC 2 is also Ezio Journey becoming Assassin. While the sequel is more oh him reviving it. AC4 is about the same story wise. Also AC games mostly repeated few times of player played as the protagonist from birth to adulthood.
I remeber preordering it on steam. Being insanly excited. Then finnaly the day pf its release came. And i couldnt play it. Then the next day. And the next.
The fact this man only has 100k subs is baffling to me. The obvious time and effort he puts into these videos is well worthy of at least 1 Million. Keep it up man! I'm know one day you're channel will boom with success!
This is my first video I have seen from you. It was amazing. You review was comprehensive but not repetitive and you stuck to your foundational premise (which was great) the whole way through. One of the best videos reviews I have ever seen. Liked and subscribed!
I’ve always thought this was a great AC game I never was like “wtf is this pirates and big boats? what the hell happened” this story actually hit me really hard especially when everything came falling apart at the end but Edward still came out ok it was a great redemption story and was the last time I actually completed an assassins creed story all the way through I never questioned when it came out if it was a “true” AC game
@@theguvnor1171 it felt like it had a good balance between pirate and AC stuff at the time, sure it was a departure but didn't feel like it was trying to escape the AC name like the RPG games do, it just wanted put a fun twist on old AC gameplay
1:30 I have listened to so many videos talking about how good black flag is but I have never heard such a amazing quote and then the music right after I immediately subscribed
Looking to help enlighten your experience with some friendly advice, fellow Assassin! 1. 14:19 Minor correction: you CAN reload your pistols without unloading the final bullet. LB/L1. 2. 20:32 I found that when it selects the side cannons, if you just move the right analog stick towards the front of the ship, the camera will adjust itself properly.
and to top it off, if anyone really just takes one moment to look into controller mapping at least, or to customize controls - they'd easily realise that manual reload is a thing.
@@jessequillen4695 i'm pretty sure its to do with the version of the game. i have the disc version on ps4 and on 1.0 there's no manual reload until you update.
You can actually force a reload of your pistols without firing all of them, you press the left bumper button, but the game never tells you this and I only learned it on my most recent playthrough by accident
Hey aqua! Kenway's fleet was a companion app so you could grind while doing something else or sleeping. But after a few years the app got shut down and the fleet battles got added to the main game.
I’ve tried and tried to get into black flag coming at it with that same nostalgic mindset, I left it for a while and came back with an open mind, I’m now loving it
AC4 has in my opinion everything done great. The story and its progression, the environment, the gameplay, the soundtrack. Everything comes together to create a, in my opinion, a great pirate game. Not necessarily a great AC game, but a great game nonetheless. Seeing Edward grow and mature as a person feels meaningful as you've been through everything together, culminating in the ending, the song and seeing all of Edward's dead friends sitting at the table and him sailing back to England. It is a truly powerful moment and the best ending, in my opinion.
49:11 Oof. I don't mean to be a downer but if you read the in-game journal entries for all the characters, it tells you that Stede Bonnet was hanged for being a pirate.
I tend to think that the games stopped being "true AC games" after Syndicate. But that isn't based on my opinions of which is the best, or my personal enjoyment of any of the games, or which ones I grew up with. It's because there's literally interviews and quotes from people making the games saying that after Syndicate sales failed to impress, they purposely took a few years off to make the games more like the Witcher 3 and other popular RPG-type games of the time. They literally admitted that they compromised their own vision in order to make this unique series more like everything else. That's where they lost me, personally.
@@tosmooth694 Origin is still a bit too RPG. The problem is lack of a dense city for parkour which is the one mechanic that let AC stood out from the other games. Yes, Black Flag has ship combat but it still has a city that players can enjoy the parkour.
yea, so many people hated on unity and syndicate, but they were still very enjoyable games. im not gonna lie, odyssey, origins, and valhalla are not necessarily "bad" games, but they feel like imposters. like games trying to be something its not. if they were called their own thing instead of assassins creed, the reviews would look completely different.
@@DARKENINGTIMES I'd agree, except for origins. I love all ac games (apart from Valhalla, couldn't get into it) but odyssey is the first one to me (and perhaps only) that isn't AC
AC4 was truly something special. they added a new touch to the narrative of the series but simultaneously held onto the game mechanics that the fanbase knew and loved.
I will watch this video soon, but I don't think it'll convince me after Whitelight pointed out the fundamental AC themes of Freedom vs Control and how perfectly the Golden Age of Piracy captures that. I look forward to hearing your arguments though!💜
I'll be honest, I kinda hate the self-righteous attitude of "Good pirate game, bad AC game" that some people have. People who constantly parrot that statement just can't get Ezio's dick out of their mouth. I love Ezio and the Ezio Trilogy but AC isn't limited to just Ezio. It has the potential to be so much more. Edward Kenway is one of the best AC protagonists and his story resonated with me like very few others have. Also, the Freedom vs Control angle is beautifully explored in the game. Torres is a Templar but he's not a bad person. He hates and actively discourages slavery and it's very refreshing to see Ubisoft give the "Control" side of the Freedom vs Control some actually good arguments instead of the strawman that it usually was in previous games. The Observatory also draws parallels to our modern surveillance state and once again brings forth the Freedom vs Control debate. AC4 is overall one of the best AC games ever made and my personal favourite.
Replaying Black Flag made me realize something. Like Edward we shouldn’t think of the past and what we lost but remember it while looking at the future
Bro your videos are actually so good wow, so in depth and analysis driven with key topics being bought up. If you keep going your channel will hit a million.
I would guess that the "selecting wrong weapon" on the ship is because the mid line (where the program switches from one weapon to another) is thick enough that the camera line can mostly be on it and that would make the program 'panic' and send the camera to another side. think of it like trying to run into an object fast enough to avoid collision detection and then when the program finally detects the collision it sends you flying.
Little note for reloading at ~14:00 you can press either L1 or R1 (I don’t remember which) to do a tactical reload instead of emptying all of your pistols
This is by far my favorite entry in the series. The story, Edward, combat, the scenery, & the pirate theme?! (Who the fck doesn't love pirates?!?) Everything was great about it. Unity was also special, but this takes the cake as the best one for me. I long for the days where AC made you feel like an ultimate badass that could decimate an entire army in the coolest and most brutal way possible. That's what made AC special. The chain killing & counter kills were so cool & completely unique when compared to any game out there. 4 got everything awesome about Assassin's Creed right, and even managed to innovate. Great video dude!
I feel like a lot of people take the word "assassin" to seriously. The story and gameplay is what makes it Assassins Creed. The MC doesn't need to be an assassin which is seen in several of the later games it's how they interact with the Creed itself how they effect it or it effects them throughout history. It stopped being about assassins after 3 and Unity but assassins were still involved and the Creed as well as the ideology even more so was still there in each MCs own perspective. How does the Creed effect a Pirate/Merc and change his life, how does it effect an abandoned child of a Spartan, a Viking, 2 warriors in Egypt etc. The Creed is there from the beginning and we see through their eyes and eventually what it leads them to. Wether it's a good game and or not doesn't change that it's an Assassins Creed game just like a bad season in an anime doesn't make it an entirely different series no matter how much we wish it wasn't a part of whatever gem the first season was. I personally didn't like Unity and I'm not really interested in Valhalla or Origins but I still feel they're apart of it. My favorite were Brotherhood and BlackFlag and probably always will be. Don't forget their saying that "Nothing is true, Everything is permitted" I feel that saying alone should answer your question wether it's an AC game or not though that may be a bit cryptic.
The devs of the earlier games described what makes an assassins creed game with 3 pillars combat, parkour, and social stealth so that’s what I would say makes up a real AC game. Black flag has all of these things and it does focus on the brotherhood more than any other AC game other than AC 1 but it decides for most of the game to explore the brotherhood from the outside perspective of a pirate. These three pillars are exclusively assassin‘s Creed and were the former AC identity before origins made the AC brand exactly like every other Ubisoft game (mediocre dog ass). I think when a lot of people say it’s a good game but not a good assassin’s creed game they’re trying to say that it lacks the originality of the original few games. I couldn’t name a single other franchise where you could use each of these “pillar mechanics” in succession. I only like the older games in this series because the newer game’s key mechanics and format aren’t exclusive to AC and aren’t even done slightly as well as most games with a similar “format”. you can still add more mechanics in addition to these pillars (ship combat, economics, brotherhood mechanic, town upkeep) to improve the variety of gameplay while still keeping the core pillar mechanics and the AC identity.
This was my first assassins creed game last year and it definitely told me what I like about this series. I underutilized the hunting and a lot of the ship parts. But loved the “classic assasin stuff”. Can’t wait to play unity and get some assassin fantasy lol
Tip: You can also avoid a rogue wave by sailing facing away from it instead of towards it. In battle you can fire maybe 2 volleys before the game forces the brace command. Not sure if this is helpful, but this is my personal experience and have almost always used this tactic in open sea without islands in the way.
I actually skipped 4 as you did but thanks to the fact I was left immensely disappointed with 3. When I eventually got the game for 10 bucks, I was floored on how good the game was on me rumble PS3
Black Flag was my entry into the series. I didn't even really know or understand what assassin's creed was at the time but had read about a fun pirate game. I tried playing the original trilogy afterwords and just could not get into them. There is something to be said for making the games different to attract new players.
For me an AC game is simply an open world historical action game with parkour. Also I do think the movement is good in the RPG games. It may not be exactly your cup of tea but it's still parkour.
This was a great argument about the identity of Assassins Creed. Black Flag was the first AC I ever played and i fell in love with the series ever since. Even though i have played most AC games by now, i have still found nothing that tops Black Flag! (Btw the naval combat, exploration, and atmosphere of sailing around the Caribbean while listening to sea shanties is GOLD. It will never get old).
It's a game I thoroughly enjoyed playing. Sometimes I would just sail about for ages, singing sea shanties & plundering any ships that crossed my path!😁
Black Flag is an excellent pirate game but it is also an excellent Assassins Creed game. Yes Edward isnt a traditional protagonist of the series and he starts off more removed from the Assassins Order in the beginning of the game but Black Flag more than any previous AC has to do with the very core of what it means to be an Assassin. Edward's entire arc is about finding out what the Assassins 'creed' means to him and to the order, "Nothing is true, everything is permitted." The entire story is about the ideology of the Assassins. He's the first protagonist who wasnt born into the order or forced into it via familial connections to it. He chooses it over the course of the game, overcoming his greed to live for something more than just himself. To me its one of the best Assassin stories in the entire series, easily standing up with Ezio's and Bayek's story. Now to be fair, I weigh story and characters as the most important thing of what makes an AC game an AC game, gameplay is important but its not the defining feature for me. Im ok with that stuff changing (as long as its good changes that work for that individual game). So arguments based around the gameplay isnt AC enough, just isnt gonna land with me (even pro arguments for it being an AC game because gameplay reasons). Those are worthy critiques and I have plenty of Black Flags gameplay element that i would want changed to make a better game but I wouldnt change anything about the story to make it more AC because its already extremely AC to me and is great.
Perfectly said and I wholeheartedly agree AC is a game based off of interactions. Interactions with various well crafted characters, places and times. I find this is the core to the game more so then the assassin vs Templar’s or anything else put in the games. It’s the interactions between classic characters like da Vinci and other historical characters or pretty much anyone in black flag that elevated the series above its counterparts.
I was thinking about Freedom Cry’s absence from this video and it gave me an idea. What if you tackled Freedom Cry and Rogue as a single video? They are both shorter narrative experiences and are built upon the same Black Flag framework. They are also very interesting parallels from a thematic standpoint, like how Ade’s increased brutality and ‘freedom at all costs’ mentality that briefly creeps over him in the third act vaguely reflecting the reasons that Shay left the brotherhood in Rogue.
@@DarkNorthEmperor Yeah I expected a crackdown twist related to the since the history was close and the assassins "gangs" look like the early version of the railroad. It did never did that just switch the groups behavior but still call them the same names. Gameplay very fun a somewhat more polished black flag gameplay is hard to mess up.
bro great video, cant imagine how many words the essay was you wrote for the script, like atleast 20 thousand words because its an hour long readl, great work.
@@ThatBoyAqua I know I was really upset cuz I thought he lived, if only there was better way to find out then just a random conversation most people will miss 😭
Honestly, I've held the mindset of the title basically since this game released back when I was an edgy 14 year old who just learned what contrarian meant. That being said, I've learned to appreciate the devs for trying something new and starting to push the game in a different direction. I still don't necessarily like Black Flag as much as other entries purely because I've never been the biggest fan of naval combat or pirates in general, but I can still agree that it's a damn good game. Just took a few years to get over the jaded view I had of it after they killed off my boy Desmond and hadn't decided what they wanted to do with the present day segments yet.
@1:45 "This game made me realize I have to try something before I knock it." This was Army of Two: Devil's Cartel for me. Was a HUUUUGE fan of the first two but stubbornly committed to not playing the 3rd one when I learned Rios and Salem weren't gonna be the playable characters. It wasn't until like 4 years later when I bought it out of a bargain bin at GameStop for like 8 dollars "cuz screw it why not".....easily became my favorite out of the three within the first hour of gameplay. Thanks for covering my favorite Assassins Creed game btw. By some stroke of luck this was actually somehow the first one I ever actually played, I'm glad to see that it's not just my nostalgia making me say it's the best one lol.
The title of this video partially explains why Black Flag is my favorite in the series. I love the historical settings, the characters, the open world, and the variety in gameplay between the various entries. I've never been a fan of the "traditional" assassin's creed experience.
It makes me feel old to realize that it's almost been a full decade since Black Flag came out, the last Assassin's Creed game I finished. And ever since this installment, the franchise has never been the same. While the Ezio Trilogy will always be the best in my eyes, Black Flag most definitely has the most replay value in the entire franchise due to its change towards open sea/ship battle gameplay. And it surprisingly has a lot of heart to it as well.
I appreciate the detail in background music you choose. Rather than strictly using the subject game's music, you insert stuff like the Destiny Islands music to match the tropical setting. I love it.
This is the only AC game I've played through multiple times AND been interested in completing all the other little missions too! One of the things that makes this my favourite AC game is actually the MUSIC, which appeals to my celtic heart but also is just so well performed and recorded and used and man I love this game (also I really like the modern day stuff sue me) Weirdly one of the things I loved about this game a lot was the accents - they're regional and correct and interesting, which makes a nice change from the same company that did the accents for AC syndicate (the worst 'english' accents I've ever heard) - incidentally this is also why I saw the Roberts/IT Guy twist coming from miles off, because he sounded like a person doing an American accent, not a real American person Edit: also welsh protagonist. It's what we needed
My favorite strategy/ challenge in this game was to see how far I could get going solo against the bigger ships, by simply swimming up to them with the Jackdaw out of sight. Sometimes the AI was good enough to notice me, and they would snipe (or cannonball) me out of the water, but other times you can actually peacefully take over a ship this way. The Legendary/ Ghost Ships can also be done this way. It's a ridiculous waste of time on some, but a lot of fun to challenge yourself.
@@thac0twenty377 surprisingly it didn't make me kill anyone. Most of the ghost ships would consider the battle ended if you just set foot on the deck, assuming you could 😂 Pretty often the AI would just blast me out of the water with their cannons before I could lol
The only reason that I bother with managing the fleet is because of the rare artifacts that you can find on the missions. And every artifact you find gets added to your mansion hideout, so you can wander around it and see your collection grow.
The reason I bought the newer games is because I kept hoping they would be like origins, but both managed to deviate vastly despite having the same structure Other than that, yeah Black flag is definitely my favorite. It's the best one because it is also a pirate game, but all of the elements of assassin's Creed are still there
I am pretty sure you can reload the guns at any point. It's been a while since I played the game, but I am 99% sure it was possible. It's somehow related to holding a specific button.
This has to be my favorite Assassin’s Creed story-wise. It may not be your conventional AC, but the story alone is very self-contained, and never manages to get you bored.
I started with 1 liberation, syndicate, unity then to black flag( haven't finished ) and origins I enjoyed most of them I got a bit frustrated with some parkour during battles in mansions in unity but for the most part enjoyed and your content is awesome I am always open minded to hearing someone else's prospective

Black flag is the story about becoming an Assassin. Whereas in other AC games like 1,2 and 3 you get the reins as an Assassin relatively early and throughout the game you become a better Assassin.

It’s the first game where a true outsider, someone with no prior connection through family or other, is discovering the Assassins and finding a connection to the Creed. Altaïr grew up with it. Giovanni intended to bring Ezio into the Brotherhood and many of his allies in II were also in the Brotherhood guiding him. It wasn’t until Revelations where Ezio truly explored himself in relation to the Creed and his interpretation. Conner’s father was a Templar, a seasoned veteran of one and already an intended target of the Colonial Brotherhood, and the conflict nothing new to the Kenway family. Edward didn’t have family in the Brotherhood, his parents were humble sheep farmers and he stumbled into the conflict quite by chance. Yes, the novelisation adds in that people who ran him out of his home town were Templar led, but a farmer young man with known alcohol issues in a relationship with a wealthy man’s daughter would ruffle feathers anyway.
AC 2 is also Ezio Journey becoming Assassin. While the sequel is more oh him reviving it. AC4 is about the same story wise.
Also AC games mostly repeated few times of player played as the protagonist from birth to adulthood.
Can't believe its been 9 years already. I remember waiting for this game to come out watching gameplay reveals.
I remeber preordering it on steam. Being insanly excited. Then finnaly the day pf its release came. And i couldnt play it. Then the next day. And the next.
The fact this man only has 100k subs is baffling to me. The obvious time and effort he puts into these videos is well worthy of at least 1 Million. Keep it up man! I'm know one day you're channel will boom with success!
Thank you! I feel blessed enough with the audience I have now, and your support inspires me to try and get better with each video! 💙
Wait, he only has 100k? I thought he had a million
Welcome to UA-cam
When I actually clicked on his channel I thought he had 1 mil subs
i didnt even realize he only had 100k till you said that, im so happy i get to be part of the 100k!
This is my first video I have seen from you. It was amazing. You review was comprehensive but not repetitive and you stuck to your foundational premise (which was great) the whole way through. One of the best videos reviews I have ever seen. Liked and subscribed!
I’ve always thought this was a great AC game I never was like “wtf is this pirates and big boats? what the hell happened” this story actually hit me really hard especially when everything came falling apart at the end but Edward still came out ok it was a great redemption story and was the last time I actually completed an assassins creed story all the way through I never questioned when it came out if it was a “true” AC game
"Boat? I dont see a boat"
Bet you then thought the same for Odyssey and Valhalla right?
@@robbydutta6521 probly not, those games sucked as assassins creed games🤷♂️
Assassin’s Creed 4: Pirates and Big Boats
@@theguvnor1171 it felt like it had a good balance between pirate and AC stuff at the time, sure it was a departure but didn't feel like it was trying to escape the AC name like the RPG games do, it just wanted put a fun twist on old AC gameplay
1:30 I have listened to so many videos talking about how good black flag is but I have never heard such a amazing quote and then the music right after I immediately subscribed
Looking to help enlighten your experience with some friendly advice, fellow Assassin!
1. 14:19 Minor correction: you CAN reload your pistols without unloading the final bullet. LB/L1.
2. 20:32 I found that when it selects the side cannons, if you just move the right analog stick towards the front of the ship, the camera will adjust itself properly.
Was about to say the same)
I noticed that too. I distinctly remember manually reloading my pistols.
and to top it off, if anyone really just takes one moment to look into controller mapping at least, or to customize controls - they'd easily realise that manual reload is a thing.
When he said no free reload I thought it might have been a ps only thing because I play xbox and can reload.
@@jessequillen4695 i'm pretty sure its to do with the version of the game. i have the disc version on ps4 and on 1.0 there's no manual reload until you update.
You can actually force a reload of your pistols without firing all of them, you press the left bumper button, but the game never tells you this and I only learned it on my most recent playthrough by accident
Hey aqua! Kenway's fleet was a companion app so you could grind while doing something else or sleeping. But after a few years the app got shut down and the fleet battles got added to the main game.
That makes alot more sense, thanks for letting me know I'll add it to the pinned comment!
@@ThatBoyAqua No worries! Keep up the good work...
I wish they didn’t get rid of it
The fleet was always in the game, the app was so you didnt need to play it in the game all the time
@@rafaeltaets2396 Didn't know that
I’ve tried and tried to get into black flag coming at it with that same nostalgic mindset, I left it for a while and came back with an open mind, I’m now loving it
You can press L1 or LB to reload regardless of how many bullets you have left btw
lol I can't believe the only button I didn't try was the right one, thanks for letting me know I'll update the pinned comment!
Can't you also cancel animations when you need to counter?
I can't remember if you could, but it seems right.
I think you are supposed to, but sometimes it just flat out doesn’t let you, so I’m not sure
lol i was sure you could
thank youuu
AC4 has in my opinion everything done great. The story and its progression, the environment, the gameplay, the soundtrack. Everything comes together to create a, in my opinion, a great pirate game. Not necessarily a great AC game, but a great game nonetheless. Seeing Edward grow and mature as a person feels meaningful as you've been through everything together, culminating in the ending, the song and seeing all of Edward's dead friends sitting at the table and him sailing back to England. It is a truly powerful moment and the best ending, in my opinion.
Black Flag stands head and shoulders above the rest of the series. Its not a good assassins creed game, it is THE BEST assassins creed game!
Agree on everything but the gameplay. Stealth and combat on foot is shit, ship combat is great though
49:11 Oof.
I don't mean to be a downer but if you read the in-game journal entries for all the characters, it tells you that Stede Bonnet was hanged for being a pirate.
25:06 You truly have a good taste in Sea Shanties, I can tell.
Thanks for mentioning the podcast. I hadn't heard about it before this video and I enjoy it!
Thank you, any feedback regarding it is much appreciated!
It is now over a decade
Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is now objectively Ubisoft's best pirate game.
bu-but its not a AAAA game?!? The extra A means its better, right?!?
I tend to think that the games stopped being "true AC games" after Syndicate. But that isn't based on my opinions of which is the best, or my personal enjoyment of any of the games, or which ones I grew up with. It's because there's literally interviews and quotes from people making the games saying that after Syndicate sales failed to impress, they purposely took a few years off to make the games more like the Witcher 3 and other popular RPG-type games of the time. They literally admitted that they compromised their own vision in order to make this unique series more like everything else. That's where they lost me, personally.
@@tosmooth694 Origin is still a bit too RPG. The problem is lack of a dense city for parkour which is the one mechanic that let AC stood out from the other games. Yes, Black Flag has ship combat but it still has a city that players can enjoy the parkour.
yea, so many people hated on unity and syndicate, but they were still very enjoyable games. im not gonna lie, odyssey, origins, and valhalla are not necessarily "bad" games, but they feel like imposters. like games trying to be something its not. if they were called their own thing instead of assassins creed, the reviews would look completely different.
@@DARKENINGTIMES I'd agree, except for origins. I love all ac games (apart from Valhalla, couldn't get into it) but odyssey is the first one to me (and perhaps only) that isn't AC
I would say after origins
@@purplenurple8816 no origins was the start of that change that made it seem too different
AC4 was truly something special. they added a new touch to the narrative of the series but simultaneously held onto the game mechanics that the fanbase knew and loved.
I will watch this video soon, but I don't think it'll convince me after Whitelight pointed out the fundamental AC themes of Freedom vs Control and how perfectly the Golden Age of Piracy captures that.
I look forward to hearing your arguments though!💜
Ahahaha
I'll be honest, I kinda hate the self-righteous attitude of "Good pirate game, bad AC game" that some people have.
People who constantly parrot that statement just can't get Ezio's dick out of their mouth.
I love Ezio and the Ezio Trilogy but AC isn't limited to just Ezio. It has the potential to be so much more.
Edward Kenway is one of the best AC protagonists and his story resonated with me like very few others have.
Also, the Freedom vs Control angle is beautifully explored in the game. Torres is a Templar but he's not a bad person. He hates and actively discourages slavery and it's very refreshing to see Ubisoft give the "Control" side of the Freedom vs Control some actually good arguments instead of the strawman that it usually was in previous games. The Observatory also draws parallels to our modern surveillance state and once again brings forth the Freedom vs Control debate.
AC4 is overall one of the best AC games ever made and my personal favourite.
@@sars910 agree
@@sars910 hahahahha I so agree with you
@@sars910 I think we all are tired of every assasin getting compared to ezio. Even ezio did things that assasins don't do
Replaying Black Flag made me realize something. Like Edward we shouldn’t think of the past and what we lost but remember it while looking at the future
I deeply appreciate the time and effort you put into this. As an assassin’s creed fan this was entertainment I needed.
Bro your videos are actually so good wow, so in depth and analysis driven with key topics being bought up. If you keep going your channel will hit a million.
no one tell him what actually happens to bonnet
I love the Trailer Park Boys reference of "Getting two birds stoned at once." .
Me: *sees the title*
Also me: SACRILEGE!!!
25:06

49:11 Bonnet doesn’t survive, while you escape the prison you can hear two guards saying how he was executed.
He's also one of the "ghosts" in the end
25:06 That came out of left field and I love it
That video said 100% of what I think of ac4.
Thank you for making it
"So you can get two birds stoned,"
Man, I wish Biff were that clever.
That TPB reference at 36:37 made my day
I would guess that the "selecting wrong weapon" on the ship is because the mid line (where the program switches from one weapon to another) is thick enough that the camera line can mostly be on it and that would make the program 'panic' and send the camera to another side.
think of it like trying to run into an object fast enough to avoid collision detection and then when the program finally detects the collision it sends you flying.
Absolutely love the videos man! My go to channel for game reviews!
Yo at 25:00 had me fucking dying.
Little note for reloading at ~14:00 you can press either L1 or R1 (I don’t remember which) to do a tactical reload instead of emptying all of your pistols
This is by far my favorite entry in the series. The story, Edward, combat, the scenery, & the pirate theme?! (Who the fck doesn't love pirates?!?)
Everything was great about it. Unity was also special, but this takes the cake as the best one for me.
I long for the days where AC made you feel like an ultimate badass that could decimate an entire army in the coolest and most brutal way possible.
That's what made AC special. The chain killing & counter kills were so cool & completely unique when compared to any game out there.
4 got everything awesome about Assassin's Creed right, and even managed to innovate.
Great video dude!
And yet it's the best Assassin's Creed game.
It is so weird that the most sold games in this franchise aren't even AC games...
@@alinpetrescu2309 lol right? It's almost like the hoods and capes are no as popular as we thought.
I disagree origins is my favorite it balanced the RPG and the story and it felt like a AC game at least in my opinion
I disagree origins is my favorite ac game it was a balance of RPG and story but that's my opinion
Obviously regarding something as best is subjective and opinionated but I really enjoyed black flag
Thanks
35:33 as a fellow Canadian, I appreciate your use of "Rickyism."
I feel like a lot of people take the word "assassin" to seriously. The story and gameplay is what makes it Assassins Creed. The MC doesn't need to be an assassin which is seen in several of the later games it's how they interact with the Creed itself how they effect it or it effects them throughout history. It stopped being about assassins after 3 and Unity but assassins were still involved and the Creed as well as the ideology even more so was still there in each MCs own perspective. How does the Creed effect a Pirate/Merc and change his life, how does it effect an abandoned child of a Spartan, a Viking, 2 warriors in Egypt etc. The Creed is there from the beginning and we see through their eyes and eventually what it leads them to. Wether it's a good game and or not doesn't change that it's an Assassins Creed game just like a bad season in an anime doesn't make it an entirely different series no matter how much we wish it wasn't a part of whatever gem the first season was. I personally didn't like Unity and I'm not really interested in Valhalla or Origins but I still feel they're apart of it. My favorite were Brotherhood and BlackFlag and probably always will be. Don't forget their saying that "Nothing is true, Everything is permitted" I feel that saying alone should answer your question wether it's an AC game or not though that may be a bit cryptic.
The devs of the earlier games described what makes an assassins creed game with 3 pillars combat, parkour, and social stealth so that’s what I would say makes up a real AC game. Black flag has all of these things and it does focus on the brotherhood more than any other AC game other than AC 1 but it decides for most of the game to explore the brotherhood from the outside perspective of a pirate. These three pillars are exclusively assassin‘s Creed and were the former AC identity before origins made the AC brand exactly like every other Ubisoft game (mediocre dog ass). I think when a lot of people say it’s a good game but not a good assassin’s creed game they’re trying to say that it lacks the originality of the original few games. I couldn’t name a single other franchise where you could use each of these “pillar mechanics” in succession. I only like the older games in this series because the newer game’s key mechanics and format aren’t exclusive to AC and aren’t even done slightly as well as most games with a similar “format”. you can still add more mechanics in addition to these pillars (ship combat, economics, brotherhood mechanic, town upkeep) to improve the variety of gameplay while still keeping the core pillar mechanics and the AC identity.
This was my first assassins creed game last year and it definitely told me what I like about this series. I underutilized the hunting and a lot of the ship parts. But loved the “classic assasin stuff”. Can’t wait to play unity and get some assassin fantasy lol
I was not mentally prepared for the "Battle Pass" shanty and now have it stuck in my head.
Tip: You can also avoid a rogue wave by sailing facing away from it instead of towards it. In battle you can fire maybe 2 volleys before the game forces the brace command. Not sure if this is helpful, but this is my personal experience and have almost always used this tactic in open sea without islands in the way.
I actually skipped 4 as you did but thanks to the fact I was left immensely disappointed with 3.
When I eventually got the game for 10 bucks, I was floored on how good the game was on me rumble PS3
Black Flag was my entry into the series. I didn't even really know or understand what assassin's creed was at the time but had read about a fun pirate game. I tried playing the original trilogy afterwords and just could not get into them. There is something to be said for making the games different to attract new players.
I feel very old. Black Flag still feels relatively modern to me.
25:06 Had me laughing lmfao 😂
25:06
Just gonna put the time code for the best part of the video here in case anyone wants to come back to it
25:06
No explanation needed
For me an AC game is simply an open world historical action game with parkour. Also I do think the movement is good in the RPG games. It may not be exactly your cup of tea but it's still parkour.
An assassin's creed game for me, is a game which involves a creed of assassins, preferably who fight templars. A hidden war, in plain sight.
This was a great argument about the identity of Assassins Creed. Black Flag was the first AC I ever played and i fell in love with the series ever since. Even though i have played most AC games by now, i have still found nothing that tops Black Flag! (Btw the naval combat, exploration, and atmosphere of sailing around the Caribbean while listening to sea shanties is GOLD. It will never get old).
5:50 omg it’s me :0
It's a game I thoroughly enjoyed playing. Sometimes I would just sail about for ages, singing sea shanties & plundering any ships that crossed my path!😁
Black Flag is an excellent pirate game but it is also an excellent Assassins Creed game. Yes Edward isnt a traditional protagonist of the series and he starts off more removed from the Assassins Order in the beginning of the game but Black Flag more than any previous AC has to do with the very core of what it means to be an Assassin. Edward's entire arc is about finding out what the Assassins 'creed' means to him and to the order, "Nothing is true, everything is permitted." The entire story is about the ideology of the Assassins. He's the first protagonist who wasnt born into the order or forced into it via familial connections to it. He chooses it over the course of the game, overcoming his greed to live for something more than just himself. To me its one of the best Assassin stories in the entire series, easily standing up with Ezio's and Bayek's story.
Now to be fair, I weigh story and characters as the most important thing of what makes an AC game an AC game, gameplay is important but its not the defining feature for me. Im ok with that stuff changing (as long as its good changes that work for that individual game). So arguments based around the gameplay isnt AC enough, just isnt gonna land with me (even pro arguments for it being an AC game because gameplay reasons). Those are worthy critiques and I have plenty of Black Flags gameplay element that i would want changed to make a better game but I wouldnt change anything about the story to make it more AC because its already extremely AC to me and is great.
Perfectly said and I wholeheartedly agree AC is a game based off of interactions. Interactions with various well crafted characters, places and times. I find this is the core to the game more so then the assassin vs Templar’s or anything else put in the games. It’s the interactions between classic characters like da Vinci and other historical characters or pretty much anyone in black flag that elevated the series above its counterparts.
"Typically when someone loves something, they don't make it their entire personality to hate it." Is a great line
I was thinking about Freedom Cry’s absence from this video and it gave me an idea.
What if you tackled Freedom Cry and Rogue as a single video? They are both shorter narrative experiences and are built upon the same Black Flag framework.
They are also very interesting parallels from a thematic standpoint, like how Ade’s increased brutality and ‘freedom at all costs’ mentality that briefly creeps over him in the third act vaguely reflecting the reasons that Shay left the brotherhood in Rogue.
I am not favourable to the story of Rogue, but I still love it due to the really smooth gameplay.
@@DarkNorthEmperor Yeah I expected a crackdown twist related to the since the history was close and the assassins "gangs" look like the early version of the railroad. It did never did that just switch the groups behavior but still call them the same names. Gameplay very fun a somewhat more polished black flag gameplay is hard to mess up.
@@Jak239JC overall, it was a fun game. It's good timepass, as I can put it.
2:29 is a moment that changed some of our lives forever
Bro the sound track hits😮💨
bro great video, cant imagine how many words the essay was you wrote for the script, like atleast 20 thousand words because its an hour long readl, great work.
Sadly Bonnet actually got hanged, you can overhear Spanish soldiers talking about it when Edward is escaping the prison
ARE YOU SERIOUS!? That's actually the saddest shit in the game 😭
@@ThatBoyAqua I know I was really upset cuz I thought he lived, if only there was better way to find out then just a random conversation most people will miss 😭
14:20 I don't know if it was added in the switch port but you can reload pistols without wasting bulletsq
Honestly, I've held the mindset of the title basically since this game released back when I was an edgy 14 year old who just learned what contrarian meant. That being said, I've learned to appreciate the devs for trying something new and starting to push the game in a different direction. I still don't necessarily like Black Flag as much as other entries purely because I've never been the biggest fan of naval combat or pirates in general, but I can still agree that it's a damn good game. Just took a few years to get over the jaded view I had of it after they killed off my boy Desmond and hadn't decided what they wanted to do with the present day segments yet.
@1:45
"This game made me realize I have to try something before I knock it."
This was Army of Two: Devil's Cartel for me. Was a HUUUUGE fan of the first two but stubbornly committed to not playing the 3rd one when I learned Rios and Salem weren't gonna be the playable characters. It wasn't until like 4 years later when I bought it out of a bargain bin at GameStop for like 8 dollars "cuz screw it why not".....easily became my favorite out of the three within the first hour of gameplay.
Thanks for covering my favorite Assassins Creed game btw. By some stroke of luck this was actually somehow the first one I ever actually played, I'm glad to see that it's not just my nostalgia making me say it's the best one lol.
The title of this video partially explains why Black Flag is my favorite in the series. I love the historical settings, the characters, the open world, and the variety in gameplay between the various entries. I've never been a fan of the "traditional" assassin's creed experience.
I completely agree I care more about the setting Than the title
It makes me feel old to realize that it's almost been a full decade since Black Flag came out, the last Assassin's Creed game I finished. And ever since this installment, the franchise has never been the same. While the Ezio Trilogy will always be the best in my eyes, Black Flag most definitely has the most replay value in the entire franchise due to its change towards open sea/ship battle gameplay. And it surprisingly has a lot of heart to it as well.
I appreciate the detail in background music you choose. Rather than strictly using the subject game's music, you insert stuff like the Destiny Islands music to match the tropical setting. I love it.
Perfect video! Love it. These analysis brings back memories. Thanks :)
The ending of AC4 is the only AC game to ever make me shed a tear, actually RDR2 and AC4 are the only games ever to make me emotional
I'm about to turn 31 , I still remember how addicted I was to even the first game .
This is the only AC game I've played through multiple times AND been interested in completing all the other little missions too! One of the things that makes this my favourite AC game is actually the MUSIC, which appeals to my celtic heart but also is just so well performed and recorded and used and man I love this game (also I really like the modern day stuff sue me)
Weirdly one of the things I loved about this game a lot was the accents - they're regional and correct and interesting, which makes a nice change from the same company that did the accents for AC syndicate (the worst 'english' accents I've ever heard) - incidentally this is also why I saw the Roberts/IT Guy twist coming from miles off, because he sounded like a person doing an American accent, not a real American person
Edit: also welsh protagonist. It's what we needed
the sponsor is a big brain move
My favorite strategy/ challenge in this game was to see how far I could get going solo against the bigger ships, by simply swimming up to them with the Jackdaw out of sight. Sometimes the AI was good enough to notice me, and they would snipe (or cannonball) me out of the water, but other times you can actually peacefully take over a ship this way. The Legendary/ Ghost Ships can also be done this way. It's a ridiculous waste of time on some, but a lot of fun to challenge yourself.
So you swam all the way to the ghost ship, climbed on and killed the crew? You crazy, beautiful bastard lol
@@thac0twenty377 surprisingly it didn't make me kill anyone. Most of the ghost ships would consider the battle ended if you just set foot on the deck, assuming you could 😂 Pretty often the AI would just blast me out of the water with their cannons before I could lol
@@thelocalcoma yeah this is kn my try list now. I just awarded a replay- first time those battles took me hours...
@@thac0twenty377 you got this lol
@@thelocalcoma I'll let you know
“If it weren’t for gold… we would be hero’s!”- Black Beard His death hit me the hardest in the series man.
The soundtrack for this game was 💯
The only reason that I bother with managing the fleet is because of the rare artifacts that you can find on the missions. And every artifact you find gets added to your mansion hideout, so you can wander around it and see your collection grow.
The reason I bought the newer games is because I kept hoping they would be like origins, but both managed to deviate vastly despite having the same structure
Other than that, yeah Black flag is definitely my favorite. It's the best one because it is also a pirate game, but all of the elements of assassin's Creed are still there
I’m 26 years old and still play this game once a year for about two weeks straight. Because it’s that good.
I am pretty sure you can reload the guns at any point. It's been a while since I played the game, but I am 99% sure it was possible. It's somehow related to holding a specific button.
The only assassins creed game I have 100% completion for. This and Origins had the best open world
This where the fun begins
14:20 on ps4 you can reload early with L1
This has to be my favorite Assassin’s Creed story-wise. It may not be your conventional AC, but the story alone is very self-contained, and never manages to get you bored.
Unity was my introduction to Assassins Creed. I liked it well enough, but then my friend told me about Black Flag. And yes, I like AC4 wayyyyy better.
'It's a good game but is it a good AC game' yes. Yes you weirdos. I'm the normal person here to restore balance and yes, it's a good AC game
This is personally my favorite assassins creed game I love the character development of Edward and his personality is just so relatable to me
I started with 1 liberation, syndicate, unity then to black flag( haven't finished ) and origins I enjoyed most of them I got a bit frustrated with some parkour during battles in mansions in unity but for the most part enjoyed and your content is awesome I am always open minded to hearing someone else's prospective
