Nerd³ Plays... Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

[@hunterlisle1171]

Before Black Flag: "I have too much money but nothing to spend it on!" Black Flag and after: "I have almost no money because I spent it all on upgrades and this nice hat."

[@bootlegbobby2442]

Same

[@DannyMakesVideosIGuess]

+The AngelofFire But it *is* a nice hat...

[@kevin135683]

yes.

[@SocialistFinn1]

but, that's a good thing isn't it?

[@SuzukiHalwende]

I feel you McDonald.

[@Vendettan]

I must say, it may be because of my love for Assassin's Creed, or because of my love for Dan, but I enjoyed this video immensely.

[@isaaclynn187]

probably both

[@zackerygraves2188]

"I see no boat here. Do you?"

[@Sn0r_lax]

I love how hes like, "Black beard is a good name, not Edward..." when blackbeards real name was Edward...

[@charlesgauthier760]

Why do you think he changed it...

[@thenotoriousdig610]

Robert Isasnake lol

[@ThunderTurtle7]

blackbeard's name is edward thatch. edward is a name you fear.

[@RRW359]

THUNDERTURTLE And he called himself Blackbeard, because Edward ISN'T a name you fear.

[@NathanielKempson]

THUNDERTURTLE Teach dude. Edward Teach...Not Magrat Thatchers husband ok?

[@Misty-jv2cg]

+killerman99362 teach (TEECH) thatch (THATSH)

[@zman007playr]

+NathanielkempsonProductions2014 Its actually disputed on what his last name actually was, in some records it is Teach, and in others its Thatch

[@jonathanholmes644]

+THUNDERTURTLE Best name ever

[@neoman289151]

I think there were two development teams for this game, because seriously the missions in this game don't mesh with the gameplay at all. "We've got a game about piracy and stabbing people, what should the missions be about?" "FOLLOWING PEOPLE!"

[@al112v4]

It's still better than Unity.

[@Leekolable]

i remember playing this game through the assassin parts and thinking "guhhhh... when will this end i wanna go back out to sea"

[@kevin135683]

they should've focused more on the ship battles, those were fun!

[@tommyc8006]

the parts where your not with assassins and instead hanging with blackbeard are ok

[@BigJack-1872]

Tommy C like where you have to follow the guy. The bit where I quit the game

[@luigimario1144]

I think I should pirate this game. Wouldn't want to break immersion, ya know?

[@Giuseppe.Crevola]

NaughtyNickers Yar..

[@Giuseppe.Crevola]

MrBossMan1898 Yo dawg.

[@luigimario1144]

MrBossMan1898 Yeah, that's the fucking joke. You just ruined it.

[@bradycrawford6377]

He got crushed and killed by the boat. *cough* farcry *cough*

[@Gurgman]

Actually it was a glitch where someone hit him even though he was in the water, it's happened a lot to me...

[@metalminecraft9864]

no thats not a glitch and not true :) #rekt

[@assassinonprozac]

Yeah people can just hit you through the boat it’s killed me a lot

[@nukclear2741]

@@assassinonprozac yep, I'll be climbing a man of war and be knocked off because someone knocked me off, through wood

[@FaeChangeling]

Worst bug I ever had was when I jumped into the sea and somehow ended up inside the enemy boat while boarding, and none of my crew could kill the captain, and I was stuck swimming around inside the invisible hull of the ship, so we lost. Either that, or the time I was boarding in a massive storm and I was swimming to the enemy ship, then a tidal wave hit the ship (and me) and I got flung into the ship then sort of glitch-teleported back out to where I was and my game crashed... All in a matter of less than a second... So those two were sort of game breaking...

[@FaeChangeling]

I've never had the boat glitch where my boat is gone and the water is all distorted before, and hopefully never will.

[@FaeChangeling]

Oh the xbox version has significantly less glitches. And the controls are way easier than whatever the combat keys are on a keyboard. I much prefer PC to xbox, but assassin's creed just doesn't seem made for PC...

[@jericowannabe9066]

😂😂that happened 2 me

[@soup3015]

insaneminecraftninja you horrible person ps3 and 4 is better than xbox pc is better than evrything dough so we agree on that

[@dipperpinesmarcusgamesandv6368]

You didn't... Buy this did you? I thought everyone pirated this...

[@darby2062]

Gets attacked by jaguar Thinks it's a panda Then thinks it's a leapord

its been 9 years, my god

[@billyjoeparker8054]

i want a mod for this where the boats handle like actual tall ships. seeing dan try to tack would make my life

[@KingofJ95]

I have a mediocre computer, so I have to play this on lower graphics and it still looks amazing

[@thenotoriousdig610]

Theodore Ceylon SEMANTICS

[@Jlang-es9lc]

Theodore Ceylon I'm guessing you have bad performance, get AC Rogue which is this game but better and it has better performance!

[@KingofJ95]

I actually get decent FPS, so, eh, whatever. Plus I mostly just go around pirating.

[@johnlogan8822]

Its funny cos Blackbeard's name was Edward Teach...

[@JoeWuhPuh]

why do you think he called himself black beard? lol

[@josha5933]

***** well as the game explains he also calls himself thatch instead of teach

[@dipperpinesmarcusgamesandv6368]

I guess he really... *Sunglasses* Taught Edward YEAAAAAAAHHHH (get it cuz it's Edward teach and... Yeaahhh)

[@montychipgaming7998]

He has a few different surnames. Know one knows which one is correct because people spelt things different from their neighbour.

[@ganeshharris2766]

Edward thatch you mean

[@ObiJuanKenobi3]

Someone should make a pirate game with Black Flag style mechanics, but instead of doing assassiny things when you get on land, you spend your time trading the goods you have acquired, the buying and selling prices being determined by where you are, so you can buy low in one place and sell high in another. And you should also be able to pick up new crewman at the tavern and board other ships and do combat.

[@cantorlok2815]

+ObiJuanKenobi3 Cid Miers Pirates?

[@liamphillips2271]

+Plo Koon does that have ship gameplay like this

[@cantorlok2815]

liam phillips yeah

[@ahmadsuwan2332]

Play assassins creed pirates it's real

[@tribunalcustodian3989]

Or you could pick your nose in the game

[@tjash3425]

2020 November anyone? Times were so much easier back then

[@FaeChangeling]

The parkour and collision still work perfectly on a glitched out ship... who knew?

[@CornusXBL]

More than 10 years old now... wow. Imagine the sort of pirate game Ubisoft could make now! Its gotta be much more detailed and engaging, right? Right?!

[@TxnnxrFPS]

This is my favorite Assassin's Creed game

[@Volsung0]

When I was about 20% into the game, I could kill a frigate in 30 seconds to a minute if I got really close and let off a broadside and just kept fireing round shot.

[@crafte0466]

Later in the campaign u unlock a map were you send ships on trade routes. The third option is to add a ship to your fleet.

[@lamedavid6145]

6:01 little does he know near the end of the game you do the same thing and the only thing you get for fully upgrading it is a little pendent in multiplayer I did all that for it

[@JoeWuhPuh]

God I have just realised how shit it looks on ps3

[@codebreaker5824]

Xbox one looks awesome

[@staceyobrien1149]

Bass brony go on assassin's creed rogue on xbox 360 because it's not on ps4 or xbox 1 and it's more nice then this game

[@JoeWuhPuh]

stacey obrien .... not in terms of graphics though it will look the same as the Ps3 version of black flag but not the 'next gen' or PC

[@jordanj809]

I played it PS3 and thought it looked great

[@AidanMcGirr]

Yep.

[@thomaskirkness-little5809]

I still think Ubisoft should've just used the Animus concept and made a whole bunch of different "...'s Creed" series. This could've been Pirate's Creed.

[@callummiles2566]

9 years and ubisoft still hasn't released a pirate game, they really dropped the ball there

[@richie74wells]

There is one in development by Ubisoft, at least I think it's Ubisoft that's making skull and bones

[@fishsalad3497]

You unlock Kenway's a Fleet later on, and you get a new boarding option to add a ship to your fleet.

[@DZ-1987]

"Never ram the side of the ship where the cannons are on" On a frigate and High rated ships (known as man 'o wars) cannon are everywhere.

[@Metallica4Life92]

Edward is not a name to fear? Blackbeard is? Dan, you must be messing with us now xD

[@gavinmcgarry609]

I guess you could say he got a.... SEA-mail!

[@lamedavid6145]

1:38 *cuts of drunken sailor* me on the inside “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”

[@felipegarcia5649]

notice that in 7:14 that after getting kill the guy flails his arm and dan didn't notice

[@greysonbourne]

AC3 and AC4 were my absolute FAVORITE Assassin's Creed games.

[@joshcorbett4787]

Ac3 sucked ass. The only good assassins creed games are the ezio ones and then blackflag

[@ganeshharris2766]

There IS a game breaking glitch THAT UBISOFT NWVER BITHERED TO FIX THATS THE PHYSX LAGGINESS and sometimes your ship despawns when you're on land and when you ok at it there is a MASSIVE water hole and the ocean bed can be seen. Then I hopped on the rowboat AND I WAS SWIMMING AND ALL MY CREW FELL FROM THE SKY AND SURVIVED THEY WERE FLOATING BUT I WAS NOWHERE TO BE SEEN!!Apart from that the game is amazing

[@TheGoodGeneral59]

But was it funny

[@benl8962]

+Ganesh Harris whats gamebreaking about that, and for the physx turn it off or buy a better card

[@LIGHTNIINGSTORM]

That sounds hilarious. I wanna see it now

[@Pattabazza]

i had a similar experience where my ship spawned in one of the DLC areas a fair way under the water, but after a while the boat just sort of floated to the surface flying dutchman style, it was great

[@thegoldengamer1100]

in brotherhood, you can get weapons and other items. but the best thing is the crossbow that is a stealth sniper weapon.

[@assassinonprozac]

But the crossbow ruins outfits like the Florentine noble attire and the raiden outfit

[@panossoupos6608]

He said that the frigate doesen't have a ram on the front in front of it, but it has cannons though! Two things, 1. Frigates don't have rams, and 2. Every shithat is not a civilian ship has cannons.

[@panossoupos6608]

I mean ship that not shit that. :)

[@WarMarsM]

When I watch him kill the whale, I worry about *THE FUCKING SPLINTER!*

[@zedshrooms3582]

The opening mission of this game shows pirates are better than ninjas.

[@muneebahmed2391]

If you watch mess yourself he calls Edward a ninja and not a assassin

[@ChickenWolfe]

Zed Shrooms but are pirate ninjas betters

[@jackandylan123321]

I want to play this while listening to Alestorm

[@blarghinatelazer9394]

7:18 is some badass trailer shit

[@leemurweeks]

My Computer Came With A Free ASsassins Creed Black Flag Key When I Got It Three Years Ago Still Exploring To Day

[@zxhaib]

The worst bug in the game before the update was that at a story mission, somewhere about the 76% completion mark, there would be a glitch that the last person you had to kill wouldn't be counted. I remember swinging around for 4 hours looking for the last person. Reloaded the save file and voila, there he was. I wanted to smash everything in. ==__==

[@spacebean2990]

Wow, the whaling minigame looks almost exactly like the fight against the lake monster from Resident Evil 4, but not as intense.

[@Sponska]

0:09 That's all I need to know about a game to buy it! Because a Nerd³ never lies (atleast not outside competitions, hehehe...)!!!

[@panossoupos6608]

Everytime he says he can buy/craft something new that isn't for his ship, he always refers to hats.

[@Crapcom86]

Wait a minute... the harpooning sections are identical to the lake boss in Resident Evil 4!

[@BurgleArsonLarceny]

lol I always thought they were based off of that

[@plsdontfollowmeimgay5905]

Best assassins creed game ever

[@quantumlolliepop5472]

after unity. Everyone knows unity is the best AC game and one of the best games of all time. Perfectly well made and polished.

[@rorycoffey5547]

nope, my least favourite by far

[@gaywoman420]

+QuantumLolliepop Are you human?

[@quantumlolliepop5472]

SolidRaven "Perfectly well made and polished" "one of the best games of all time" "Am I serious?" would be a better question

[@gaywoman420]

QuantumLolliepop Yea but, I knew you were joking, so i thought I would make more of unserious question.

Then once you unlock the piratey ship money machine mini-game, you can capture ships! Mine is just full of galleons. Galleons of rum.

[@doctorcraptonicus7941]

Edward isn't a name you fear, but what if Edward Woodward played Jedward in an Ed Wood film?

[@hugohugohugohugo4800]

"Quick get rowboatcop" that fucking got me good XD!

[@jamesglover5149]

Did it say davenport on the ship at the start of the video because accilles's surname is davenport

[@crayonmunch]

I bought this game solely based on this video, story isnt great but the ship stuff is amazing fun.

[@Torraim]

19:47 *owns every assassins creed* “Ok” 😂

[@NghtDtryr]

"Blackbeard" may be a threatening pirate name... But his actual name was Edward Thatch... Edward is a menacing name, unless it's Edward Cullen from Twilight

[@scovelme]

Gman outman *Teach

[@charliemoth5286]

scovelme Actually Teach and Thatch are both correct. No one knows his true name, so both can be seen as true

[@scovelme]

Charlie Moth Oh.

[@tobycleave4047]

Fun fact blackboard was actually called Edward teach from bristol

[@Cyberboi]

Hopefully Ubisoft will make another naval-themed AC game (after AC: Egypt, which has been leaked).

[@theverywhimsicaltrex2402]

Dan douse not do this game justice your supposed to brace when ramming for fucks sake

[@jackgardere8458]

He hates me, WHY HATH THOU FORSAKEN ME?!

[@SnipSnapsz]

How do you get the pirate outfit you had on????

[@assassinonprozac]

If you still haven’t figured it out it’s the Edward the legend outfit you get it through uplay

[@Volsung0]

One of the upgrades for the pistol holder requires two Humpback whale *skins* for a *single* pistol holder. What the fuck.

[@pimplejuice8774]

I remember back when this game came out. I was like 11, I never really really played the story I just got on the ship and attack another ship I saw.

[@helixlord0562]

Has anyone told him Edward is also an Assassin later on in the game?

[@conspicuouscamera1618]

Games I have bought because of this channel: Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag, Just Cause 3, and Lego Worlds

[@jordanfenton7217]

Can not wait to get this game

[@jay4147]

is the jackdaw a man o war? cos the morrigan was considerably smaller

[@jay4147]

its alright I found out THANKS FOR ANSWERING GUYS really helpful

[@lalai1113]

I wanted him to yell out WHITE WHALE HOLY GRAIL.

[@KashouWannabe]

I've come back to this video straight after Dan and Jons 2018 Sea of Thieves videos. There needs to be a standalone game like this, screw SoT. I have it completed on PS3, and its on sale on PC right now... but eh... just wish there was an original game like this. I have Rogue too, not played it ever, may give that a whirl.

[@magicman1398]

You know what will be impressive if you die from a gunboat

[@gregthextremegamer2657]

I absolutely love this game to bits!

[@Mr3D10]

Who here likes Rogue more than this game? Not saying this one's bad but Rogue improved everything so much as far as gameplay and story goes. Plus you can finally kill civilians, which is always fun.

[@twahtskie]

+SirWalrusII I never got to play it but I think I would like it... But now that I think about it... I dont think I heard shit about it cause the french one was so fucking bad it kinda silenced it.

[@SleepBeforeYouThink]

+Gage Farris well if you liked how in black flag you don't use an assassin and you like the naval combat then check it out I own rogue ,unity( the French one ) and syndicate on pc I've spent way more hours on rogue. Being a Templar pirate is a refreshing change of flavor.

[@twahtskie]

Markus Wilson I think I will

[@April_a26]

bought the game after seeing this, totally worth it.

[@JudgeBane]

That moment when you realise Blackbeard's name was Edward.

[@bryantshaver6612]

After seeing this video I went to the area with the treasure and I couldn't dig there so I saw a map icon and went to it picked it up and it was the map from the video

[@speedbird227]

Nobody's gonna talk about how Dan said "We don't want no British here."
