AngelsNAirwav3s 05/22/20 1:44:55 PM #11:	I loved Black Flag, best AC game I have played. Just going around pirating is so much fun, and I loved the story as it goes through the whole rise and fall of the Pirate Era, and doesn't get too sidetracked with the whole previous civilization magical artifact crap of other games.

Noumas 05/22/20 2:19:21 PM #18:	The shanties in black flag pretty much made me realize why I loved sailing in black flag despite absolutely loathing sailing in wind waker. They add a ton of personality and life and make the already amazing Caribbean sea sailing even more amazing. AC black flag really is one of the best games of the series. The modern day section is hilariously meta, and the pirate theme of the game is one of the best of all time. Ac origins is the only other game that's arguably better, but for completely different reasons. So its prudent to play both since they both offer unique amazing experiences <cite>Noumas posted [p:939550267] in About to f...
