Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is a 2013 action-adventure video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is the sixth major installment in the Assassin's Creed series. Its historical timeframe precedes that of Assassin's Creed III (2012), but its modern-day sequences succeed III's own. The plot is set in a fictional history of real-world events and follows the millennia-old struggle between the Assassins, who fight to preserve peace and free will, and the Templars, who desire peace through control.

Kevin: spends 5 years totally alone on a farm Also Kevin: is on an island for 15 minutes and starts hearing voices

Black Flag is my absolute favorite Assassin's Creed game. The gameplay, the shanties, the story, it's just top tier. I played it for hours on end on my younger days. That music from the main menu alone was enough to give me goosebumps. Edit: If you keep playing the game, do keep in mind that when there's that "Y" icon on enemy ships, you gotta hold Y rather than mash it.

I am so curious as to your definition of "greatest"...

....greatest? He was in constant fights with his crew who he was also entirely dependent on because he didn't know jackshit about seafaring, got in a single fight with a Spanish ship and immediatly lost (a third of his crew died), then got captured, his ship stolen and held hostage by Blackbeard, and died a few months after being released by him. Bonnet was arguably the worst pirate we know about.

[@SilentEchoes-99]

My favorite thing to do at the end of this game was to wear the Mayan armor (makes you bullet proof) and cheese the system for building the fleet. There was an area on the map where the man-of-wars had to go slow through a narrow spot and I realized that if you grab onto an enemy ship while it's moving, it immediately stops. You can kill everyone, swim back to your ship, then claim it for your fleet without having to take damage to either yourself or your ship. Good times

[@SilentEchoes-99]

@@domenickpeters6505 If I am being honest, I don't remember. It's been so long since I last played Black Flag. Your best bet is to follow ships along the coastlines until you find a suitable area. If I remember correctly, they will pathfind around your ship so you can make wider areas work too just by blocking as much of the opening as possible.

[@TheNeoVid]

The fact that the first assassination mission you picked up has you kill the same Monkey Island reference that Geralt of Rivia had to take on in an insult duel really does make this the greatest pirate game ever.

[@Thenoobestgirl]

It brings me great joy to watch Kevin play my favorite game series. If I may suggest, you should play Unity because it's hilariously glitchy and Syndicate because the main character is basically you, only British.

[@AMPYMCSTAMPY]

It's my favourite series too, although, I don't see the hype behind unity. Sure, they fixed a lot after the initial release, and its a perfectly fine game. I just think its got weird pacing, and it doesn't ever REALLY feel like I have control over what the character does. The way the game has us control arno feels more like I am offering him suggestions than commands. That's just my opinion, but if you have other opinions, you are wrong... nah jk 😂😂😂 I ain't like that. Your opinions are valid because we all have our own life experiences. Have a nice day/evening.
