And some people did. I know this might not be the greatest measure but if you look at steam charts and Arkham Trilogy each game had a spike at around time SSKTJL was released, the biggest one for Arkham Knight which today had more than 2 times the player count in comparison to SSKTJL. I myself decided to finally get Arkham Origins the chance (it was not received as well as Rocksteady games) and I have to say I have fun with it (this one sat in my backlog for a long time).

For AAA, most definitely and its really when alot of series/studios that today are seen as greedy, generic and rehashing the same thing actually came into their own and innovated. CoD really became part of the cultural conversation with CoD 4, then pushed it farther with WaW(particularly zombies) and MW2. Assassins Creed 1-4 are all 360 era, and ubisoft set the ground work for far cry with far cry 2(my favorite) and then FC3 which is largely regarding as the best. Bioware was king of their market with Dragon age and Mass effect. Even on pc this era was the golden age of World of Warcraft. Though I think the AA and indie golden era is now and has been for a few years. In 360 era the only indie game that was really well known was probably minecraft, which is no longer an indie game. Especially recently smaller games are getting much more recognition, while the larger games tend to have lukewarm reception at best. Just in the last 3 months there were 3 absolute breakout AA/indie games in lethal company, palworld and helldivers. Plus the entire rogue-like genre is almost exclusively dominated by indie/aa games.

Black Flag is honestly one of the most immersive games I've ever played. As much as I love the Ezio trilogy and consider those games to be the heart & soul of the franchise, Black Flag offered something with its open world that none of the other games truly did. I wanted to sail the open sea, I wanted to explore the islands, I wanted to look up at the sky when the stars were out in the middle of the freaking ocean. And most of all, I wanted to continue my progression with updating my ship to take on bigger enemy ships for a larger loot. It's honestly and simply a fun game that Ubisoft never made again.

If Ubisoft ditched the assassin’s creed theme, they could still do a good job at creating semi historical games.

The story starts out great, but gets a bit weird during sequence 10 up to the end. That entire laser walls thing and the weird abstergo thing (i still dont understand that subplot) was a bit edgy and too much. Overall black flag is exactly what a pirate game should be like. World design is good, story is okay, fighting is good, character Control is a bit wonkey but whats the greatest thing is: sailing and naval combat. Thats where this game shines like a diamond

Yeah this one was always a surprise for me. I'm one of the people who slandered AC3, I remember thinking Revelations was okay but not as good as AC2 or ACB, then 3 I just flat out didn't like...so I was worried I was starting to get to that point where the series wasn't doing it for me anymore, but AC4 brought the love back! I've played the entire series (except Chronicles and Mirage, but I'm getting there), and ended up buying all the PS4 ports and remasters, and have (very) slowly been working my way back through them...I just got the Platinum in the PS4 version of Revelations in December. So AC3 Remastered is up next, and that will be a second chance adventure there...to see if maybe it's not as bad as I thought it was in 2012. Then I'll have AC4 again after that. And now there's talk of Ubisoft remaking AC4...so there may be a third platinum for it in my future.

I got to play in one of the pre-release tests for Skull & Bones and was so disappointed that it didn't measure up to the quality of Black Flag. I was really hoping that they would've carried forward from those ideas into Skull & Bones, being the inheritor and maturity of those systems, all pulled together into an adventure that you didn't want to end. Remembering the Abstergo story from Black Flag, it wasn't that it wasn't a bad chapter for the modern day adventure, but that it was dwarfed so much by the story and immersion into the pirate world. I think they had unknowingly created a giant mansion or palace, but the middle class home they placed next to it, while beautiful in its own standing, just looked like an unwanted shack because of what it was being compared to. Unfortunately, no, Skull and Bones is not a 4A game. It's nice and has some good features, but next to Black Flag, it is yet another stamped out Middle Class home of mediocrity. If anything, Black Flag was the 4A game and Skull and Bones is the 2A game.

It is for me by far the best AC game they made and by far the best pirate themed game ever made. I for one really enjoyed the story of it, meeting all of those famous pirates from history was awesome and ship combat sure was arcade-y but it felt impactful and realistic enough to where it was really enjoyable. AC III and Rogue had that as well in smaller part but Black Flag really perfected ship combat. It is why i was quite disappointed with Skull and Bones. They had previously managed to do ship combat so well and yet ten years later it turned out to be a worse version of it in pretty much every way, where Black Flag still managed to be fairly realistic, S&B abandoned all of that for flashy explosions and mediocrity

What they should have done is remake Black Flag (i know that's currently planned) and as part of that remake, greatly enhance the ship combat. Then add in a multiplayer mode like GTA Online. So you've got a bunch of players with their own ship's using the new Black Flag map, building out the multiplayer experience from there. So for $70 you get the Black Flag remake and the new Black Flag online. Would have taken 1/3 of the time and money to make and could have been way way way more popular.

My only problem with Black Flag is that people talk as if it's the first Assassin's Creed with ship combat & the only game with ship combat. I also drifted apart from the series, but found a place selling the ultimate version of Odyssey for $40 & couldn't pass up on the deal. While the ship combat wasn't as fleshed out as Black Flag, I still really enjoyed that part of the game. All Skull & Bones had to do was be more Black Flag. It would have been derivative, but would have released much earlier & probably sold better.

I have a (maybe) hot take about Black Flag, that it should have been a completely new IP. The main feature of BF is the refined naval combat of AC 3, which is a BIG deppart from the previous games gameplay and identity. Boots-on-the-ground exploration and combat take a secondary role and don't require many changes from the established formula (none of which are exclusive to AC, as they were refined from the Prince of Persia games to begin with). The amazing narrative would be just as good with 0 connections to the larger Assassin's Creed story and narrative, it would be possible to remove or swap out all of the AC content and not actually change the plot. I think Ubisoft wasted the opportunity to create an entirely new franchise, they even had relative safety considering that many players praised AC 3's naval minigame at the time.

in my opinion Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag is the most memorable AC Game, the only thing that I didn't really cared for when it came to the ship stuff is, I'd capture all these ships but I couldn't use them personally I would have loved to be able to use a ship of the line. I didn't mind the ship mini game, but I didn't really care for it either, I think for me it would have been funner to actually be able to see them in my world instead of oh here's a 2d piece of s***

Blackflag is a sensational awesome game plus fantastic ship battles which I love. Skull and Bones is fun but nothing compared to "Assassin's Creed Blackflag 🏴☠️

I love blackflag flag to me it's a masterpiece.Beautiful lighting sailing in the carribean in control of a well fleshed out written baddass with lot's of exciting things to do.I am shocked at skull and bare bones as it's a symbol of mismanagement and greed spending insane amounts of money to make something insanely poor.Ubi must take it on the chin.If they loose player base since,Yves Guillemot said quad A game must be funded for years to come.Good luck with the couple of bare bones systems it has.

The gameplay is great, it feels awesome to sail your pirate ship. Too bad that from this game on the Assassin's storyline started falling off a cliff, as it was the most interesting part for me in the previous games.
