This connects with my memory. I recall spending all my happy time at sea for hours upon hours. Now that you mention it, I do remember a silly follow mission at sea.
I had not considered the obvious micros they will surely add.
I’m the wrong person though to measure a good AC game 🏴☠️. I could not get into the first one and I know a lot of people have a lot of love for it. Thank you for taking the time to answer.
Can I ask why? I’m far removed from a lot of what’s going on. Black Flag was the only AC game I played through. Not the I didn’t try some of the earlier ones.
Is it general Ubisoft stuff or the game in particular?
I think there are more intersting parts of the read.
“My producer Victor Hadida told me when we finished the film that it cost $23 million,” Gans says. “We had 50 days of shooting, it has 67 sets, so it’s quite huge. But I spent one year just designing everything, storyboarding everything, making tons of artwork. When I came on the pre-production, I was very well prepared. Sometimes, what was difficult was to make people who are not players understand why some elements were so important. Sometimes I had to fight because the fans would be pleased. When I’m doing a film, I’m obsessed by the detail, so that’s the fuel of my work as a director.”
Games like Thomas Was Alone show that you can tie the feels to anything. That said, I don’t expect deep feels here. I also wince at mentions of parallel dimensions.
I tried it out for a couple of hours yesterday and there was one story location beat though, not fleshed out but just a location you find, where I wanted to know more because of presentation vibes. So I’m open to whatever.
I have had a good time on my own though, ignoring others for this.
A while back I gave all my MTG cards to a friend. Seeing stuff like this really makes me remember why I enjoyed it so much, but I really can’t shake all the non-setting stuff. It is too much. There is such a vibe to it when MTG is going strong.
I get weak at the knees for some shapeshifters, myr, or undead cards with cool quotes (<3 Black Knight). I do miss my Hakkon deck that I built as a direct response to my friends unholy elven deck. Felt appropriate that I gave it to him. Look upon your defeat, scrub.
EDIT: Now I am just having happy memory lane so hope it doesn’t bother anyone. I think I spent like $90 getting all the specific cards for that deck. For context I was young and that was a lot of money. My friend was well off but also very lazy and just went off what he could build from a ton of booster packs. To young me it felt like I overcame the oligarchy.
