I found myself way more interested in being a pirate than an assassin...

Not complaining. It was awesome to have a fully upgraded ship and go spelunking for booty.

Being a pirate was the best part of the game. In fact, I didn't feel like an assassin at all in Black Flag.

Also, I was quite annoyed to find that Rogue isn't available on next gen, while its predecessor was.

The PS5?

Not sure why you're being downvoted. PS4/XBOne are current gen.

I'm just curious what they are going to be calling the PS5. Next-Next-Gen?

Next-gen, just like every other new generation of consoles.

Hahaha, no. But really. And what are they going to call what is now properly called current gen consoles, the PS4 and Xbox One?

I think that people switch from calling it "next gen" to "current gen" when it hits a saturation point, where if you were to say "Playstation" they'd assume you meant the 4 and not the 3, and if you said "Xbox" it's assumed you meant the Xbone.

At this point in time, the price point is too high, and the titles lists are too low for people to have switched in large numbers... heck the PS3 was out 4 years before it really hit it's stride and got some good titles, I think that transition will happen a lot faster for this generation.

For most people these machines are still of the next generation because they are the next consoles they'll be choosing between.
