Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag (Sea Shanty) VOL. 1 - Leave Her Johnny

[@FallenAngelHiroko]

I hated trying to get the shanties. But I always liked them. Sometimes I'll sing them all day. Long after I've done playing ACBF. For months in fact. XD

Lyrics: I thought I heard the Old Man say: "Leave her, Johnny, leave her." Tomorrow you will get your pay And it's time for us to leave her Leave her, Johnny, leave her! Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her! For the voyage is long and the winds don't blow And it's time for us to leave her Oh, the wind was foul and the sea ran high "Leave her, Johnny, leave her!" She shipped it green and none went by And it's time for us to leave her Leave her, Johnny, leave her! Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her! For the voyage is long and the winds don't blow And it's time for us to leave her I hate to sail on this rotten tub "Leave her, Johnny, leave her!" No grog allowed and rotten grub And it's time for us to leave her Leave her, Johnny, leave her! Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her! For the voyage is long and the winds don't blow And it's time for us to leave her We swear by rote for want of more "Leave her, Johnny, leave her!" But now we're through so we'll go on shore And it's time for us to leave her Leave her, Johnny, leave her! Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her! For the voyage is long and the winds don't blow And it's time for us to leave her

I remember the last time I played black flag, I had finished the story and every sidequest I could find. I used to take great joy in finding any old ship on the waves and would initiate battle, but that day was different. I found my self avoiding combat, climbing every building, sailing each part of the sea and feeling sad without knowing why. It hit me an hour after hitting the sea that I missed the struggle of learning different controls in the midst of a battle I was woefully unprepared for. I thought about restarting the story, a fresh file, but it didn't feel right so I deleted the file five minutes in. I returned to the Jackdaw and found myself listening to shanty after shanty, and then, this one came on. This had been the first shanty I heard in the entire game and when I put the controller down after powering the console down I felt a strange sense of comfort. I left her. At that same moment I knew I would likely never pick the game up again. I had ended my journey the way it began, painful yet rewarding. I find myself returning here often and everytime I do, I yearn to return to the Jackdaw more and more. I dont have access to the save file anymore as the console had been water damaged beyond repair. But I feel that want of more once again and so I'm going to begin saving money so as to buy the game and an xbox to play it on. This time I'll be able to return at any point to the family that sailed the seas on the Jackdaw and know that it's real. Maybe not in the sense of being truly real, but it's real to me, real to anyone who has experienced this game and it's story.

[@theisen5893]

Good luck on your journey fellow pirate! I bought the game back in 2014 on pc and played it all the way through. In 2018 i got a new computer and for some reason black flag just didn't open. It crashed every time without saying a thing. I seached everywhere for a fix, but nothing worked. But one week ago i tried again. Somehow the game opened up and was ready play. I am now almost done with the main story. It's still a blast and i have cried at least 7 times now. I really hope you get that xbox and remember to stay safe:)

[@wutkai]

@@theisen5893 Thank you friend. I'm happy you're game started working again. I already know that I'm going to be crying as well. I know that the xbox 360 doesn't cost as much anymore as it's an outdated console but I also know that it takes time to save money. I feel as though this game is only going to be sadder and sadder to play as the years go by considering the way the franchise has ended up recently. If anyone who's played syndicate found that man singing this shanty and looked it up then maybe they'll play this game too and fall in love with it as we and many others have.

[@theisen5893]

They started singing this right after the prison mission and the dream sequence. It was just so perfect for the moment and how I was feeling, I was convinced it must have been scripted. Normally I would have messed around and blown up some boats on the way to the next mission, but given the circumstances it didn't seem appropriate. So this time I just sailed into the sun still trying not to cry and waited patiently for them to finish.
