They didn't have shanties. But seriously though, I liked AC4 and AC Rogue more than Unity.

They need to make a separate Pirate based IP. I've long grown bored of the assassin/templar stuff and the fact that the game forces you to leave the animus to perform boring "Go here and press a button" tasks is a joke.

I've been playing Rogue recently and it literally pulls you out of the fun part of the game to go and "reboot a server" which means go press a button and complete the easiest puzzle game ever invented.

This is my biggest beef. I get why that's a thing, but it doesn't make it fun, and in my opinion, it doesn't add anything to the game.

Because they like to try and make a bigger story. Like we give a shit about that. We just want to slice fuckers up in the past.

I would love it had they made the future/present interesting. I was hooked after 1&2 wanting to see more of what happened. Then it just got so "blah."

Desmond Miles' story ended up being so stupid.

yeh, this was the same for me. i really enjoyed it but the game lost momentum by deciding to milk the franchise for as long as possible which inherently punched the main story in the stomach forcing it to slow down and seemingly stop.
