Today’s Game is Assassins Creed Black Flag. Honestly I’m kind of impressed I made it too 10 days. I totally expected myself to miss a day on my streak. Also. A few people in the past have asked about posting screenshots in the comments or stealing the idea for their own posts. Assuming the mods are chill with it I have no issues with people doing either of those things. I just want people to have fun

    Please keep going!

    Black Flag is one of my all-time favorite gaming experiences. Crazy how long ago it was, covering my feet with a blanket during winter, humming pirate songs while sailing in the open sea.

      I get that. I played it originally on PS3 when I was younger. To this day the PS3 controller is just the most comfortable way for me to play it just because of the nostalgia I have for sitting in bed playing it buried under a fuckton of blankets with my head poking out

    I way prefer these kind of gaming posts than the gaming “news”. So please keep posting these.

    Does the Pirate Ship gameplay in black flag still hold up? I remember everyone used to rave about how good it was.

      I will say that I am incredibly biased for this game. To the point that My friends when we play Sea of Thieves always have to listen to me (jokingly) complain about how Sea of Thieves should control the ship more like Black Flag. But I still find that its naval controls is by far one of my favorite methods of doing it. It’s done in a way where it’s not too clunky and you need to micromanage, but it doesn’t take away from the action and makes you really feel epic. At least that’s how I personally about it

      I’d like to answer as someone without nostalgia: yes it does. I played Odyssey in 2020 and IV 2022-current. The ship mechanics are very enjoyable to me. I beleive Odyseey made it more polished but I can’t actually remember how, so it must not be that important

      lmao. I get that. I’ve been trying to avoid repeating games, so I try to mix things up. Honestly the most of what I’ve been playing lately is Skyrim and Fallout NV

    One of the AC I’ve yet to try. I liked the ship play in Odyssey so it’s definitely up on my list.

      It’s my favourite AC game when it comes to story and atmosphere. Don’t procrastinate it any longer, I say.

    I want a game like Sid Meiers Pirates: Live the life, but in the style of Black Flag.

    I basically don’t have friends anymore, so no sea of thieves, and it frustrated me when we did try playing a few years back.

    I still fire the Xbox up occasionally so I can roam around plundering shi(t/p)

    This game changed gaming. It took so much of what it was going for and left nothing to be desired. Good story. Good quests. Good graphics and gameplay. It delivered from start to end.

      Some of them I take Day of the post (Like the Fallout one yesterday). Others I keep just because I think they look pretty. Steam Cloud storage holds onto them for me so I don’t have much of a reason to get rid of them. I also just really like taking very Landscape-esque shots which i feel leads me to be less likely to delete them

      Do you not have a whole archive of screenshot because it looked cool at the time and then it didn’t really hit the same later when you no longer had the context of the action? Just me?

        That’s why I take videos. I have hard drives of my very average gameplay but I still feel the satisfaction I got when I was actually playing when watching them.

        No. The only screenshots in my steam library are of some glitches I took screenshots of because it looked funny. And at some point I had a script running in Counterstrike that took screenshots of the game results.

    I’d like to go back and play the AC series. Played from the first AC to this one, and stopped because of burnt out.

    Now it seems like I’ve been missing a lot and skipping some games to continue to the latest games feels like I won’t be able to enjoy the series.
