minus-squareyunglucifer@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·2 days agoWeird, Assassin’s Creed died with 2 when they fired the creator.
minus-squareRightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·2 days agoOkay but Black Flag slapped. Maybe not as an AC game per se, but Black Flag was still a greater game.
minus-squarehalcyoncmdr@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·2 days agoBlack Flag was a mediocre Assassin’s Creed game, at best. It was a phenomenal pirate game
minus-squareSenseless@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·2 days agoAgreed. Black Flag was awesome. Never finished the story though. Just sailing, singing shanties.

minus-squareVindictiveJudge@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 days agoGameplay-wise, Rogue is even better than Black Flag. Narratively, Rogue is a disaster fueled by Shay being painfully stupid.
minus-squareeRac@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 days agoBeing released at the same time as the significantly more modern (and unpopular) Unity didn’t do Rogue any favors.
minus-squareBlaiz0r@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·2 days agoIs that why the third one never concluded the series as it was originally intended?
