Muy buen juego, la verdad que es mi Assassins Creed favorito, y sin haber jugados los últimos, creo que sigue estando entre los mejores. La trama es sencilla, pero entretenida, piratas, saqueo, putas, ron, batallas navales. No aburre, por lo menos a mi no me aburrió, lo jugué en PS3, hace muchos años, y hace poco me lo compre para PC para rejugarlo. Para una PC gama baja como lo es mi PC, corre bastante bien.
Best pirate game with a touch of Assassin's Creed
[h1]Okayish pirate game, appalling Assassin's Creed[/h1] Note: I finished the game on Uplay back when it came out, hence my low hour count. Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag. The one title everyone seems to love, and the one that viscerally disgusts me. I get (sort of) why people like this game, but honestly, I think it makes for an average pirate game, and a lousy Assassin's Creed. A bit of backtracking to 2013 is in order to properly explain just why I hate this game: Assassin's Creed III had brilliantly (and boldly) ended Desmond's saga and for all intents and purposes, the franchise could have ended then and there. I, for one, was sad to see it go, but couldn't see how they could pick up the trail after killing off the main character. The modern day portions, something that the whole fanbase has come to dread, used to be the [i]Leitmotiv[/i] of the franchise. I simply wanted to know how humanity would avert its impending doom and what role the Assassins would have to play in this (folks might not know or remember, but in 2012, when AC III came out, there was a fringe, albeit sizable enough, portion of the internet spewing nonsense about the end of the world, which the game brilliantly capitalised on). Once this cataclysmic event was averted, with Desmond giving his life to achieve this goal, that's it. There was no point in exploring this further. Now, I was not naïve and I knew that Ubisoft would eventually find a way to revive the franchise... I just thought they would take five or six years to think it through and then relaunch the thing with a meaningful storyline. Instead, we got Assassin's Creed Black Flag. Sure, Black Flag has... dual swords and shanties. But everything else is nothing short of dreadful. The modern day sections were so dismally bad that I still have PTSD from looking at that tablet you carried around in the Abstergo HQ. Tailing missions would give me nothing short of headaches. But the worst offence of it all was just how little Edward Kenway had to do with the Assassins themselves. For the first half of the game, you are not playing as an Assassin (which you would expect, after all, it's right there in the franchise's name, isn't it?), but rather, as some random pirate you could not care less about. Don't get me started on the freedom to pillage, plunder and blah blah blah... the spin-off 2003 Pirates of the Caribbean game (the one you play as captain Nathaniel Hawk) offered a more meaningful, polished (and fun!) pirate experience where you could command a fleet of up to four ships as you plundered your way through the Caribbean, attacking forts and whatnot. I recall just how exhilarating it felt to board a ship, make it your own (possibly your flagship!) and start building your legend from scratch. Imagine how cheap it felt that a decade later AC Black Flag forces you to stick to the appalling Jackdaw even if you manage to get your hands on a galleon! Granted, that Pirates of the Caribbean game probably set my bar too high, but still, even Sid Meier's Pirates! did it better than Black Flag. It simply cannot be overstated: the only people that might find Black Flag enticing in any way whatsoever are people who never played a single good, fun and engaging pirate game before. Furthermore, and rather paradoxically, for a game built upon seafaring and ship sailing, the series has been rudderless ever since Black Flag came out. After Black Flag came the narrative (and technical, at least at release) flop that Unity was. Sure, we got Syndicate, which was a great game, but arguably the swan song of the series before the latter collapsed into the identity crisis that led to the contender for worst game in the entire series, Assassin's Creed Origins, every bit as lacklustre as Black Flag, only three times as repetitive and boring. Sure, Assassin's Creed Shadows recently brought back the stealth factor into the equation, yet the sad take of many ignorant gamers bent on sabotaging it out of some culture wars agenda led to the shortest post-release support cycle ever seen in an Assassin's Creed. I hope Resynced is better, I really do, but whereas I preordered (and thoroughly enjoyed and loved) Shadows, I will wait for Resynced to be 50% off before even thinking of grabbing it. At least it seems they got rid of the awful tailing missions, but even that won't suffice to compensate for the sheer lack of direction that this game exudes. As a pirate game one could argue that it could be a... 6/10? But for an Assassin's Creed game, it's a 3/10 without a doubt. TL; DR: average pirate game, appalling Assassin's Creed game.
Encore une fois, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag n'est pas un mauvais jeu. Comme souvent avec la licence, il est beau, porté par une excellente bande-son et une mise en scène soignée. On retrouve aussi une multitude de quêtes annexes, malheureusement souvent répétitives. Là où le bât blesse, c'est du côté du gameplay. Tout ce qui concerne la navigation et les combats navals est une excellente idée sur le papier. Dans les faits, c'est beaucoup moins convaincant : les déplacements sont lourds, peu maniables et finissent par devenir frustrants. Les quêtes au trésor sont plus intéressantes que dans Red Dead Redemption 2, mais par moments on flotte dans un vide intersidéral. Le véritable point noir reste cependant le système de sauvegarde automatique, totalement raté. Il arrive régulièrement de devoir retraverser de vastes portions de mer ou d'île après une mort, ce qui oblige à rejouer jusqu'à dix minutes de progression. À la longue, c'est particulièrement agaçant et cela nuit fortement au plaisir de jeu. J'ajouterais même que ce jeu est une véritable catastrophe. Dès la seconde partie de l'aventure, dans la zone sud de la carte, tout devient insupportable : l'immaniabilité du bateau, les canons qui ne visent jamais la cible souhaitée, les commandes absurdes d'un navire aussi lourd qu'une enclume... Le jeu en devient presque injouable. Il y a un fossé énorme entre la première et la seconde moitié du jeu. La difficulté semble avoir été multipliée par dix : impossible de détruire le moindre fort sans y laisser sa peau, des dizaines de navires à affronter en permanence, et des combats navals qui tournent vite au cauchemar. Si au moins les contrôles étaient précis, pourquoi pas. Mais non : tout repose sur une maniabilité désastreuse qui relève davantage de la frustration artificielle que du défi. Et sur la terre ferme, ce n'est guère mieux. Un même bouton sert à courir, sauter et éviter, tandis qu'un système d'accrochage automatique du personnage au décor vient constamment perturber les déplacements. C'est inutile, maladroit et terriblement agaçant. Si les concepteurs cherchaient à rendre leur jeu le moins maniable possible, alors ils ont atteint leur objectif avec brio. Il faut vraiment être complètement déconnecté des attentes des joueurs pour accumuler autant de choix de conception absurdes. Ah, et n'oublions pas la cerise sur le gâteau : pour jouer à cette merveille, il faut également passer par Ubisoft Connect. Autrement dit, le jour où Ubisoft décidera de fermer les serveurs ou disparaîtra, il deviendra potentiellement impossible de lancer certains de leurs jeux. En même temps, vu la qualité de celui-ci, je ne suis pas certain que ce soit une grande perte. Désolé, mais pour moi, c'est un jeu profondément raté. Passez votre chemin.
Пират на море,дьявол на суше . Именно таким запомнится этот персонаж ,тот что стал ассасином при жизни и умер с ним на устах! Весь Ubisoft должен памятник этому детищу, подарившую нам прекрастную историю об этом бесжалостном убийце с карибского бассейна ! Оставив не раскрытые тайны и гору безымянных трупов после себя! Упокойся с улыбкой на лице ,Ассасин (Эдвард мать вашу Кенуэй) (Величайшему из пиратов ,первому и единственному ассасину ,дьяволу от дьявола,шутнику с гаваны и лучшему другу воцарившему то о чём будут слогать веками упомяная его имя с шепотом и трепетом ! ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKZqbrogUow https://youtube.com/shorts/CRprYkAmC8s?si=RNUvNjgQL4fvqPDm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuYX1PKONhk
