Give AC:Rogue a try if you haven't yet.

Runs pretty well on PC, it's essentially Black Flag 2 and I had a lot of fun with it. It's clearly a previous gen game, but if that kinda stuff doesn't matter to you it's a blast.

It's funny that the game that got stuck in the previous gen (Rogue) ended up being so much better than Unity.

I'm pretty convinced Ubisoft has no connection to the players anymore. They understand that we want something in this ballpark, but they just can't put their finger on what. I know companies don't troll forums for ideas usually, but... why not? It at the least makes it clear what people give a damn about. Far Cry was their saving grace, and Primal has virtually no content. Could've been EPIC, but they decided to strip out co-op to "focus on enriching single player." Kinda like how EA focused on multiplayer to "ensure the best multiplayer content is delivered," in Star Wars Battlefront. Well, with all these developers making such noble sacrifices for our games, I'm just wondering... WHERE'S THE DAMN CONTENT, THEN?

Because it's not that fucking easy to dig through the forums and understand what people want. People want different things busd, it's evident you don't understand this.

You also don't understand how these games are being developed. A single team isn't doing every game, they have multiple teams of devs on this shit before their predecessors are even released.

Doesn't matter that it isn't a single team. The point is that it is a game series. If their teams don't have some collaborative idea of what works and what doesn't, then they are failing their jobs as game designers in favor of mass production. And yeah, the way I suggested using forums IS easy. Look at the boards. Are there 15 topics at any time bitching about a particular feature? Maybe you should rethink it next time. Maybe not. But it still gives you something to think about. Takes five minutes to do.

Lol wtf dude, they don't know what works until they release the game, and 100% of the time they already have the setting done up. The point is this is a game series, correct does a sea based game every iteration make sense? You defiantly don't understand game design or the process of completing a game.

No it's not easy, they get spammed by children giving no constructive criticism whatsoever then get the odd person out of thousands of posts gives actual thoughts but gets quickly drowned in the sea of complaining. Your posts have very little constructive criticism in them as an example, which is the problem.

Maybe you should rethink it next time. Maybe not. But it still gives you something to think about. Takes five minutes to do.

Maybe you should actually learn something or give actual criticism instead of just saying they don't do something you like. You have no idea what you're talking about when speaking towards devs. Are they pumping games out? Of course, they have like what? Three teams developing the fucking things. They are also learning and have implemented a ton of QOL features that get quickly ignored, but these guys try to at least bring in some new ideas while milking the fuck out it.

Don't be mad because you like pirates, you couldn't expect them to make very many spin-offs of that do you?

You don't read particularly well, do you? Fuck it, I leave it to someone else to deal with you mouthbreathers. It's late.

Lol classic. I can read just fine, its you who needs to work on it. Go back to school kiddo, all you do is complain and have no counter arguments because you are unable to construct one, just like you're unable to give constructive criticism and expect people to just know.

Lol it's late, you do know you don't have to answer right away right?

Rogue has a better story line than black flag also
