minus-squareRightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 months agoOkay but Black Flag slapped. Maybe not as an AC game per se, but Black Flag was still a greater game.
minus-squareSenseless@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 months agoAgreed. Black Flag was awesome. Never finished the story though. Just sailing, singing shanties.
minus-squarericdeh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 months agoAnd Rogue. I rarely hear Rogue mentioned but it’s my favourite. I find the story the most appealing, and it comes with so much moral ambiguity.

minus-squareVindictiveJudge@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 months agoGameplay-wise, Rogue is even better than Black Flag. Narratively, Rogue is a disaster fueled by Shay being painfully stupid.
