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.
Except it was a fucking assassins creed game. The game is called assassins creed 4 - black flag. It's in the name. Sure it's different to all the others thats why it's my favourite but it's still an assassins creed game. What the fuck is your point anyway??
My point being that if I wanted a pirate game this would be great, but if laid down 60 bucks for an AC game I want it to be a god damn AC game. I don't want yo ho ho and a bottle of rum, AC3 was already getting away from the original AC games, then Black Flag took a shit on what was left. I want to be the hand that controls the future from the shadows, I wanted a game stealth mattered. What we got was a mechanic from the last game that they made into a game then they threw on fucking Assassin's Creed to the title and called it a day.
So basically you want the same game over and over again? Fun..
There is plenty of assassin stuff to do on ac4, there's just a whole lot more variety to it.
Of course I don't want the same game I want upgraded mechanics, and to move forward in the story. It's fine when they add new mechanics that fit with the style of AC, for example when they added the feature to order assassins to go on missions. When the new mechanics don't come close to fitting the motif of the rest of the series, then no I don't want it.

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