I think sea shanties in Black Flag are the equivalent of web-slinging in Spider-Man PS4: they both de-incentivize fast travel and make the journey to destinations so much more entertaining.
When/why did it become a trend again???? I’ve seen someone commenting about seas shanties trending again on some totally unrelated stuff lol I’m all for it, I’ve loved these songs since the age of 13 when the game dropped.
I remember finishing the story and leave her Johnny was the first song the crew sang as I sailed the seas for the last time, no missions, no collectibles to obtain, all the boss ships defeated, it was just me and my crew, sailing the open sea with freedom and something about it just hit different
@@DragonFamilyPaintingAye but it be a tale lost in sea never to be found enjoyed by Dedicated and die hard fans of Black Flag but the 10th anniversary unforunately wasn't celebrated so Black Flag will be lost in sea for Ubisoft moving to Japanese theme next year but Black Flag will be the most unique Assassin's Creed today
I couldn’t go back to the game after I completed it, it felt so empty? To quote Pirates of the Caribbean ‘the worlds still the same, there’s just less in it’
My apologies but what does it exactly means ? I played black flag when I was 12 years old even today I get it since most the pirates were ultimately after gold right ?
DBR X No need to apologize. It’s a quote from the game by Edward “Blackbeard” Thatch. I could be wrong but the meaning I infer from that statement is that gold is the reason they are criminals/pirates and, because of its very existence in the world, they cannot possibly be good men (“heroes”). Gold was indeed what they were after, as were most pirates of the time.
DBR X To continue on that, and to reinforce what was said earlier. Because of what they were after, which was gold, they were criminals. But if that wasn’t in the world, they would be seen as the toughest, most dedicated men of their time. If they were doing hero’s work, they would be the best hero’s there are.
I remember i would always use the ship to travel because i didnt know there was a fast travel, there was one mission where i had to go to the assassins island and i was on the opposite side of the world. I sailed for like 1-2 hours. I was so in love with sailing it so i never cared to find out there was a fast travel, such a good fucking game. Wish i could go back to those days
2014 was my last good year. Hang out with friends at school, come home to play AC: Black Flag while eating pop tarts, not a care in the world. Those times aren't coming back.
As a mariner myself, Leave Her Johnny is the most fitting shanty out of the bunch. Each verse describes the trials, hardships, and joys of being on the water. When you have to step back on dry land, knowing it's the last time you'll see the vessel you've praised, cursed, and everything in between brings forth a maelstrom of emotions.
@@fabianafdanielaruan5424 You think these guys, with voices like this, weren't already part of a male vocal group before deciding to sail? No, they found that the sea carries their voices across the waves in a way like no other.
5:18 this sea shanty holds a special place in my heart as it was a song i used to sing with my grandpa while we were out on my uncles boat.... good times.
It's about doomed relationships. When men find amazing women that they're forced to never see again, the men would often get drunk with their friend and sing this song
Leave Her Johnny is soo a fantastic Song i can't remember how often I try to Trigger that song must be at least four hundred times now I can sing this song without lyrics
This game was made with heart. This game has a soul. Just perfect. The story is actually good and I grew to like them and cried when they died (especially at the end when Kenway sees all his old fellows)
"Leave her Johnny" honestly hits me in the feels because think about it. This is the crew you've been traveling with for months, maybe even years, and you've made so many memories of killing people, stealing booty, singing sea shanties and getting drunk together. When you leave your ship, that's not the only thing you're leaving. You're leaving your life, your memories your friends- no, your _family_ and honestly? It's always fun having a good run, but it leaves an imprint on your heart and soul when it ends.
Jakob Kristensen Sandvik I’m certain it was a man o war but I that might have been Assassin’s creed rouge, been ages since I’ve played either and I can’t wait for skull and bones
When hearing this, i don't remember sitting on the floor and playing this game. I remember myself sailing the oceans, killing templars and plundering fleets. This is where i found true happiness gents
This hits just different when you realize your glory days are gone by years now, when I came back home from school, turned on my PS3 and started sailing around, hunting down the biggest shipps I could find and singing along to those shanties, when everything was easier, more beautiful. I miss those days, everytime I come back to this video I cry so damn much. I miss those days and I cry because I know I'll NEVER have something like this with my friends and that stuff...
Dont get stuck in the past my friend. Times have changed indeed but our spirits remain the same. Maybe in 10 years you will post a comment about your life now and how much simpler it was. Make the most of your day and try to relive some of the glory days from the past. Dont look back with tears in your eyes, instead look ahead with a big smile on your face. Its never too late to set sails again....into a new adventure
Nastalgia is a hell of a thing and its up to us to whether shes going to leave a ball in our throat or a moment of gratitude that shes letting us remember it at all... We can always do it again we just gotta remember man...

Man this is one of those games that just needs to be remastered hard into next gen consoles. its just so good, exploring the sea sailing around reminded me when i was 11 playing Pirates Of The Caribbean Online
no please no ubisoft cant remaster let this gem just rest,plus there will be skull and bones,someday anyony srsly how long has it been since it was announced XD
I had this teacher when this game came out and he always talked about how this is the best game ever. Me and my buddies who liked cod, halo, gta and Minecraft thought it was strange. He was a veteran and watching a clip of this game today and realizing the sea shanty cadences makes me understand why he loves this game so much
It's not just a game. I remember singing along to "Leave her Johnny" and just sailing merrily with my crew in this beautiful world and feeling like life is not all that bad. Thank you Ubisoft.
I only fast travelled on the same island at viewpoints bc i like doing leap of faith and it's a bit laggy for me only reason, otherwise i would've enjoyed more walking trough the cities
Currently playing it. Have never fast travelled. Oh and the final mission with Thatch... where you're meant to just "escape to open water"... damn right I let loose on their fleet, boarded the man o' war and took it for my fleet.
Also just randomly shooting the cannons because it's satisfying and entering random battles because it's fun and doing harpooning minigames because it's extra fun
It's the only game I truly feel nostalgic about. This brings me back to January 2014: I'm a 1st year med student, just finished the first semester exams, it's a cold and frosty morning, I'm in my PJs, I just finished my breakfast, I put this game on and I play for hours. It rains outside, I feel at peace. It's now October 2024, I'm 10 years older, it's my last year of radiology residency. It's chilly outside, I'm married, both my wife and my one year-old daughter are sleeping right next to me. I feel extreme bliss. I'm grateful for the life I'm having.
Black flag in my opinion is the best AC. I grew up with this game, I remember defeating every legendary ship, taking over every fort, completing the storyline, everything. One of the best childhood games for me.
I think that's part of it. Shanties were made by sailors to sing while sailing. So they likely wrote them to go with the sounds of the sea. Either that, or we're just used to hearing them with the ocean sounds so they sound weird without it
i would die for another game like black flag,from the shanties,to the amount of content,to the story and the pain we go through alongside kenway,black flag is the best assassins creed and we need another game like this,we all want to experience that again.
The ironic thing is that AC4 got criticized for him not being a true assassin, just a pirate. Doesn't take anything away from how great of a game it was though.
@@arid_desert_storm Same with Odyssey, from as far as I've gotten (which is pretty far) there hasn't been a single mention of assassins or Templars once but it's still an amazing game imo. First Assassin's Creed I've loved and played religiously since Black Flag.
Those pirates spent their whole lives finding treasure, when the real treasure was the friendships they built along the way EDIT June 21: Okay yes, this is One Piece. Also thanks for 20k likes
Man, this hits my sad and golden moment at the same time. I was playing this games alone at 15 yr old 2-4 hours fighting random ships while trying to understand the main quest. I don't have friend to share those moment, googling the main quest with my bad english at that time, i was so afraid to mingle with the community because i feel my question is stupid and so basic so i just exploring this game alone, but i enjoyed it at the same time.
Thank you for this magnificen video. I'll leave the marks to easily skip to your favorite songs. 00:00 Randy Dandy Oh 01:34 Leave Her Johnny 03:48 Fish In The Sea 05:18 Dead Horse 06:24 Drunken Sailor 07:51 William Taylor
I'm actually crying because of the nostalgia. I played this game when I was like 10 and it was amazing. These sea shanties were one of the best reasons to play this game
I used to sail around for hours in this game avoiding combat etc just sailing the ocean listening to sea shanties. Good memories, the purest form of escapism
The shanties are the one thing that I feel connects me to this game, so peaceful sailing around listening to old pirate songs just puts you in the mood. You know what I mean right?😂
This video popped up on my history while I was trying to sooth my 2 month daughter. Turns out these songs knock her out almost instantly. I've started singing to her sleep using these songs and they are a god send
@@abhayraj6390 if you don't have any friends, you just need to talk to people, I'm sorry if you don't :( I truly am. If I didn't have any friends than hypothetically, I would do whatever I wanted to.
If i didn't get Leave her Johnny, Lowlands, Old man riding by, and some other tunes i like to sing in 15 tries i fast travelled. But! If any of 'em came along when i neared port i circled the island until the tune was sung.
Very few games hit like that. When you make it so that nobody ever uses your fast travel feature and just enjoys going the slow way, you have done something right. It’s part of the reason I was really disappointed after I played cyberpunk. I actually loved just driving through night city instead of using the fast travel. The people who worked on the radio stations were on point. Breath of the wild also does this to a lesser degree. I usually just teleported to the closest shrine when I needed to go somewhere, but that was only because the world was so big it would have takes far too long to make it there. I once went from kakariko to the akkala tech lab and it took me an hour. Can’t remember if I had a horse or not ( probably not) but what is important is that I didn’t feel like it was a waste of time. It was fun making that trip. Finding towers along the way was less “Finally a checkpoint, now I don’t have to go through that area again if I die” and more “ nice, now I can explore this area more when I finish what I’m doing”

@@camilobaffa1123, how insolent of me. That could be a possible theory, however, how can one drone remain fixated to the ship at such a precise and fixed distance for such a long time? Surely, there must be another answer. Btw it's just a joke okay hahahaha (let's continue thistle charade, people).
This and assassins creed 2 are what single player campaigns should strive for, an engaging,emotional story that leaves you feeling different by the end and sad to conclude the story.
@@soumajitsen1395 I thought the story of Brotherhood was great enough on its own as it developed ezio and his philosophy even more so! But the new gameplay features were even better than ever which I loved! And the multiplayer for that game was absolutely fantastic and better than ever! AC Brotherhood TRULY brought the multiplayer to life and made it VASTLY much more exciting than ever!
@@Gadget-Walkmen Yeah, the MP was really good, I agree, but Ezio's philosophy is nothing but line-by-line copies from Machiavelli's Prince, the story feels a bit forced IMO, and the new fast travel feature and the horse-riding-in-the-city feature in that particular game felt like it was built just to ignore the parkour. Don't get me wrong, Brotherhood is an awesome game, I just felt like they ignored some parts of the game just to implement the new Brotherhood features. It's just how I feel about it.
Anyone listening in 2019? Still one of the best Assassins Creed games to date, Ubisoft has said there’s no AC game in 2019 so that leaves the door open for a huge release in 2020. I’m thinking they take the assassins to Japan next.
I only started playing ACBF this year. On my first playthrough right now and loving it. It's my first AC game and I wanted it specifically for the pirate theme, tbh I have little interest in the other AC games but I love BF.
I’m bored now. They’ve ruined the series . Unity, rouge origins and oddessy slowly destroyed the series. There’s nothing interesting or wanting about the stories anymore . This game was a great way to change the story after Desmond’s death, and could’ve made for a great continuation with a new character or something , but Ubisoft fucked us all . I’m sorry I don’t want another game with the pace it’s going with .
Leave her Johnny leave her and Drunken Sailor hits different when youre traveling across the sea just hearing your boys and the waves with the wind blowing. ¡At your service Captain Kenway!

I had this teacher when this game came out and he always talked about how this is the best game ever. Me and my buddies who liked cod, halo, gta and Minecraft thought it was strange. He was a veteran and watching a clip of this game today and realizing the sea shanty cadences makes me understand why he loves this game so much
It's not just a game.
I remember singing along to "Leave her Johnny" and just sailing merrily with my crew in this beautiful world and feeling like life is not all that bad. Thank you Ubisoft.

@@bozi2585 I haven't played any since unity, other games than rogue and 4 have sea shanties?
This is the one ac game i almost never fast traveled because just cruising with shanties going was peaceful
Same, I fast traveled alot the first play trough, the 2nd I did it only a few times and 3rd I never did,
Yeah, you sail peacefully then you see a Man-O-War all alone that you can take. Next thing you know you’re in a skirmish with the Spanish or British.
I only fast travelled on the same island at viewpoints bc i like doing leap of faith and it's a bit laggy for me only reason, otherwise i would've enjoyed more walking trough the cities
Currently playing it. Have never fast travelled.
Oh and the final mission with Thatch... where you're meant to just "escape to open water"... damn right I let loose on their fleet, boarded the man o' war and took it for my fleet.
Also just randomly shooting the cannons because it's satisfying and entering random battles because it's fun and doing harpooning minigames because it's extra fun

It's the only game I truly feel nostalgic about.
This brings me back to January 2014: I'm a 1st year med student, just finished the first semester exams, it's a cold and frosty morning, I'm in my PJs, I just finished my breakfast, I put this game on and I play for hours. It rains outside, I feel at peace.
It's now October 2024, I'm 10 years older, it's my last year of radiology residency. It's chilly outside, I'm married, both my wife and my one year-old daughter are sleeping right next to me. I feel extreme bliss.
I'm grateful for the life I'm having.
Black flag in my opinion is the best AC. I grew up with this game, I remember defeating every legendary ship, taking over every fort, completing the storyline, everything. One of the best childhood games for me.
Opinions allowed, but I disagree
This is simply amazing game. But imo downhill of AC series started from this.
@@jarskil8862 black flag is an excellent pirates games but only a decent assassin's creed game
Jarski l its downhill for you, the games are awesome, go back to playing your shitty gta 5
Biiits uhm why you hating on GTA V? It’s an amazing game with tons of details. Ubisoft only wishes they could create games as good as Rockstar
Arian Serrano cuz its too short, i finished it in 2 days, it was shorter than uncharted lost legacy, which took me 3 days
This single video has more soul and memorability than Skull & Bones will ever have.
Crazy how Ubi had gold in their hands and still..
Skull and bones was supposed to be dlc for black flag
But skull and bones is a AAAA game!
listening to the shanties by themselves arent the same without the crashing of the sea, 10/10
it sure as shit adds to it :)
I think that's part of it. Shanties were made by sailors to sing while sailing. So they likely wrote them to go with the sounds of the sea. Either that, or we're just used to hearing them with the ocean sounds so they sound weird without it
Kharn The Betrayer psychology, it's a hell of a science lol
i would die for another game like black flag,from the shanties,to the amount of content,to the story and the pain we go through alongside kenway,black flag is the best assassins creed and we need another game like this,we all want to experience that again.

The ironic thing is that AC4 got criticized for him not being a true assassin, just a pirate. Doesn't take anything away from how great of a game it was though.
@@arid_desert_storm Same with Odyssey, from as far as I've gotten (which is pretty far) there hasn't been a single mention of assassins or Templars once but it's still an amazing game imo. First Assassin's Creed I've loved and played religiously since Black Flag.

+Aidan Murphree Yeah the sea sound effects just add to the music
+Aidan Murphree its like the quote that said "half the taste in the smell"
+Aidan Murphree agreed but, for a few of these the ratio of song to sea may be a bit off.

in GTA they have radio, in AC4 they have sea shanties

Well, you could always make the Sea Shanties into a radio in GTA...Self Radio xD
It's only on PC I think, so yeah :D
Except there's that massive texture glitch. Rockstar, next time you make a game, MAKE SURE it doesn't have these game-breaking bugs!
Yeah, listening to shanty radio while surfing the ocean on your Aqua quad bike will be a new experience.
Gta and ac4 is my love
Free roaming in this game in the ship was never boring because of these shanties.

Well no
which times? piracy times? the destruction of lisbon? the american revolution? the french revolution? or now with blm vs q anon?

I used to sail around for hours in this game avoiding combat etc just sailing the ocean listening to sea shanties. Good memories, the purest form of escapism
Each time I heard Leave Her Johnny I wouldn't even care about the mission we were on, I would sing along with them. Along with many others
The shanties are the one thing that I feel connects me to this game, so peaceful sailing around listening to old pirate songs just puts you in the mood. You know what I mean right?😂
True
So true brings back memory’s
Not only pirates just sailors in general its amazing to think that a few hundred years ago these songs were being belted out every day all for morale
@@darylhindle1035 doubtful. Not to this extent
Yeah same
This video popped up on my history while I was trying to sooth my 2 month daughter. Turns out these songs knock her out almost instantly. I've started singing to her sleep using these songs and they are a god send
I’ve been using the black flag sea shanties to put my kids to bed for 4 or 5 years now? My kids love them and can sing them now.
"The neighbour's baby was crying last night, thankfully some pirate started singing and the baby stopped."

One of the few games I never fast traveled in because of the sea shanties and the beautiful environment.
If i didn't get Leave her Johnny, Lowlands, Old man riding by, and some other tunes i like to sing in 15 tries i fast travelled.
But! If any of 'em came along when i neared port i circled the island until the tune was sung.
I would just keep changing the song until I got my favourites lmao
There was also just a lot to do. Sailing an exploring was just so much fun.
Very few games hit like that. When you make it so that nobody ever uses your fast travel feature and just enjoys going the slow way, you have done something right. It’s part of the reason I was really disappointed after I played cyberpunk. I actually loved just driving through night city instead of using the fast travel. The people who worked on the radio stations were on point. Breath of the wild also does this to a lesser degree. I usually just teleported to the closest shrine when I needed to go somewhere, but that was only because the world was so big it would have takes far too long to make it there. I once went from kakariko to the akkala tech lab and it took me an hour. Can’t remember if I had a horse or not ( probably not) but what is important is that I didn’t feel like it was a waste of time. It was fun making that trip. Finding towers along the way was less “Finally a checkpoint, now I don’t have to go through that area again if I die” and more “ nice, now I can explore this area more when I finish what I’m doing”
This game really makes you FEEL like a Black Flag.

This and assassins creed 2 are what single player campaigns should strive for, an engaging,emotional story that leaves you feeling different by the end and sad to conclude the story.
And AC3 too
@@soumajitsen1395 I was about to say that too as well! And Ac brotherhood is INCREDIBLY better than AC2 as it expands on the gameplay vastly more!
@@Gadget-Walkmen I am not a big fan of Brotherhood as it really didn't have a lot story-wise, but I really loved the new Assassin features.
@@soumajitsen1395 I thought the story of Brotherhood was great enough on its own as it developed ezio and his philosophy even more so! But the new gameplay features were even better than ever which I loved!
And the multiplayer for that game was absolutely fantastic and better than ever! AC Brotherhood TRULY brought the multiplayer to life and made it VASTLY much more exciting than ever!
@@Gadget-Walkmen Yeah, the MP was really good, I agree, but Ezio's philosophy is nothing but line-by-line copies from Machiavelli's Prince, the story feels a bit forced IMO, and the new fast travel feature and the horse-riding-in-the-city feature in that particular game felt like it was built just to ignore the parkour. Don't get me wrong, Brotherhood is an awesome game, I just felt like they ignored some parts of the game just to implement the new Brotherhood features. It's just how I feel about it.
Anyone listening in 2019? Still one of the best Assassins Creed games to date, Ubisoft has said there’s no AC game in 2019 so that leaves the door open for a huge release in 2020. I’m thinking they take the assassins to Japan next.
I only started playing ACBF this year. On my first playthrough right now and loving it. It's my first AC game and I wanted it specifically for the pirate theme, tbh I have little interest in the other AC games but I love BF.

I’m bored now. They’ve ruined the series . Unity, rouge origins and oddessy slowly destroyed the series. There’s nothing interesting or wanting about the stories anymore . This game was a great way to change the story after Desmond’s death, and could’ve made for a great continuation with a new character or something , but Ubisoft fucked us all . I’m sorry I don’t want another game with the pace it’s going with .
