*after 10mins. of singing...* "So uhh... captain... why are we turning around in circles?"

fast travel: *exists* sea shanties: im bouta end this man’s whole career

These sound so much better in-game while you're sailing around. The background noise of the sea just makes it that much better.

"Leave her Johnny, Lea-" *MAN O WAR* *ROYAL NAVY*

When you nearing the port then the "Druken Sailor" plays. Guess I'll circle the island 5 times

1700s pirates; anyone still listening? 2021 people; yes.

I remember finishing the story and leave her Johnny was the first song the crew sang as I sailed the seas for the last time, no missions, no collectibles to obtain, all the boss ships defeated, it was just me and my crew, sailing the open sea with freedom and something about it just hit different

I remember i would always use the ship to travel because i didnt know there was a fast travel, there was one mission where i had to go to the assassins island and i was on the opposite side of the world. I sailed for like 1-2 hours. I was so in love with sailing it so i never cared to find out there was a fast travel, such a good fucking game. Wish i could go back to those days

"Why are we circling around Cuba for 6h?" Me: don't ask just keep singing

a wise man once told me "never sail with a crew that can´t sing"

I'm actually crying because of the nostalgia. I played this game when I was like 10 and it was amazing. These sea shanties were one of the best reasons to play this game

“In a world without gold, we might have been heroes.”

GTA V : * Has Ingame Radio * AC Black flag: *Hold my Sea shanties*

I remember sailing around looking for storms just so I can sail through them, and the absolute madlads still sang.

5:18 this sea shanty holds a special place in my heart as it was a song i used to sing with my grandpa while we were out on my uncles boat.... good times.

Me: Sing us a song maties! Sailor: But Captain, we’ve already arrived at our destination. *Turns ship around* Me: SING US A SONG MATIES!!

Best part of Black Flag: Listening to the Shanties Worst Part of Black Flag: Chasing the Shanties

I always play "Leave her Johnny leave her" after boarding ships to honor the loss of crew members.

Eight years later, and it's still the best AC

Love the fact that sea shanties are a trend now

10 years later and still one of the best games of Ubisoft.

Jesus what I wouldn't give to experience Black Flag for the first time. Legit cried at the end

Its been 8 years. And i still back here for the sounds of winds,wave and singing with the boys.

Let’s be honest, leave her Johnny hits different

Those pirates do have damn nice singing voices

I always come back to listen to these shanties. Reminds me of the simple and tough life a sailor would live. This always calms me whenever I sail through a rough patch of the sea of life

Man, this hits my sad and golden moment at the same time. I was playing this games alone at 15 yr old 2-4 hours fighting random ships while trying to understand the main quest. I don't have friend to share those moment, googling the main quest with my bad english at that time, i was so afraid to mingle with the community because i feel my question is stupid and so basic so i just exploring this game alone, but i enjoyed it at the same time.

Who tf needs fast travel when you have this

Me enjoying the crews shant That one beloved crew : "MAN OF WAR SIR! ROYAL BLOODY NAVY!"

The nostalgia hits so hard. I am happy youtube recommended this to me

This single video has more soul and memorability than Skull & Bones will ever have.

Normal gameplay: 20 hours My gameplay: 80 hours

This guy so lucky that he dont get storm every 3 minutes .

I just got Black Flag and let me tell you, its given me a great new appreciation for Sea Shanties.

who listen this song in 2024??

Google: The aux cord was invented in the 20th century. Me and the bois sailing through the 18th century:

2014: Playing this game, conquering the Caribbean with my beautiful Jackdaw and life was so good!

10 years after, skull and bones comes out aaaaand.........black flag is still the best pirate game ever released

1:35 'Leave Her Johnny' was my personal favorite... what a glorious era eh boiz.

"Leave Her Johnny" The only song here that hits you during a break up even if it's for a ship

Pirates: *Leave her Johnny, leave her!* Johnny Depp: Will do

I had this teacher when this game came out and he always talked about how this is the best game ever. Me and my buddies who liked cod, halo, gta and Minecraft thought it was strange. He was a veteran and watching a clip of this game today and realizing the sea shanty cadences makes me understand why he loves this game so much

With the ocean and the wind mixed this actually feels relaxing

As a mariner myself, Leave Her Johnny is the most fitting shanty out of the bunch. Each verse describes the trials, hardships, and joys of being on the water. When you have to step back on dry land, knowing it's the last time you'll see the vessel you've praised, cursed, and everything in between brings forth a maelstrom of emotions.

"Leave her Johnny" honestly hits me in the feels because think about it. This is the crew you've been traveling with for months, maybe even years, and you've made so many memories of killing people, stealing booty, singing sea shanties and getting drunk together. When you leave your ship, that's not the only thing you're leaving. You're leaving your life, your memories your friends- no, your _family_ and honestly? It's always fun having a good run, but it leaves an imprint on your heart and soul when it ends.

Game: "You can fast travel..." Me: "No. I don't think I will."

Nostalgia hits hard. Still remember the fear when a Royal convoy shows up during a storm

All those running, falling, failing, chasing shanties were worth it in the end.

Oh Jackdaw, you don't know how much i missed you...

Leave her Johnny leave her and Drunken Sailor hits different when youre traveling across the sea just hearing your boys and the waves with the wind blowing. ¡At your service Captain Kenway!

This game needs a remaster asap

This game was made with heart. This game has a soul. Just perfect. The story is actually good and I grew to like them and cried when they died (especially at the end when Kenway sees all his old fellows)

Who needs fast travel I don’t

I used to sail around for hours in this game avoiding combat etc just sailing the ocean listening to sea shanties. Good memories, the purest form of escapism

Gave me chills. One of my favorite games ever. Played this going into my freshman year of high school. Senior in college now. How the time flies. Don’t really enjoy playing video games anymore, but this. This was perfection.

When hearing this, i don't remember sitting on the floor and playing this game. I remember myself sailing the oceans, killing templars and plundering fleets. This is where i found true happiness gents

The sound of the water makes this so much better

The crashing of the ship over the waves is such an incredible sound! The ocean and the crew really pull the song together. Thanks for sharing 💕

Life was beautiful then.....

Man this is one of those games that just needs to be remastered hard into next gen consoles. its just so good, exploring the sea sailing around reminded me when i was 11 playing Pirates Of The Caribbean Online

only 1700’s kids will remember this

thank you for keeping the sounds of the ocean in. i like the shanties as is, but they sound empty without the waves crashing. can't wait for this game to get remade :)

So nostalgic, and one of the best games I've ever played, completed like 5-8 times

Pirate requirements Good fighter❌ Good shot❌ Fit❌ Good climber❌ Good singer✅

Once I went to a market and there was a Scottish singer singing leave her johnny 10/10 accuracy right there

I’m so happy you decided to post these as you’re sailing, with all the ocean’s ambient sounds included. Just as the developers intended.

"Randy Dandy Oh", is still the best fcking thing I've ever heard...

Everyone's all about sea shanties now in 2021. But we AC Fans were already fans.

Best playlist of KZfaq bcz of sea sounds, chorus ( real game) effect, good transitions. I hope this video exist with all the music available on the game🙏

The first may be my favorite. Love the guy's raspy voice.

This hits just different when you realize your glory days are gone by years now, when I came back home from school, turned on my PS3 and started sailing around, hunting down the biggest shipps I could find and singing along to those shanties, when everything was easier, more beautiful. I miss those days, everytime I come back to this video I cry so damn much. I miss those days and I cry because I know I'll NEVER have something like this with my friends and that stuff...

This is the one ac game i almost never fast traveled because just cruising with shanties going was peaceful

this summer vacation was mad good, finished like 4 different assassins creed games and one of them was black flag, the memories were so crazy

when I play assassin creed black flag. I turned off the light in my room. listen to the sound of the game with headphones and go across the ocean with songs while sailing. it's really fun and feels like a memorable adventure. and still the best assassin game for me.

Those pirates spent their whole lives finding treasure, when the real treasure was the friendships they built along the way EDIT June 21: Okay yes, this is One Piece. Also thanks for 20k likes

The main singer's voice in all of them is so addictive

After all these years, the video that helped me study is still here. Thank you.

It's not just a game. I remember singing along to "Leave her Johnny" and just sailing merrily with my crew in this beautiful world and feeling like life is not all that bad. Thank you Ubisoft.

such good memories, sailing the seas and singing shanties all night

*SONGS LIST* 0:00 Randy Dandy Oh 1:35 Leave Her Johnny 3:48 Fish in the Sea 5:17 Dead Horse 6:23 Drunken Sailor (the best) 7:53 William Taylor

in GTA they have radio, in AC4 they have sea shanties

This brings back so many fond memories, I enjoyed every second of this game, still the best AC game in my opinion.

I love it how you did input the background gameplay, with all the water sounds ambience to match the shanties

listening to the shanties by themselves arent the same without the crashing of the sea, 10/10

Black flag in my opinion is the best AC. I grew up with this game, I remember defeating every legendary ship, taking over every fort, completing the storyline, everything. One of the best childhood games for me.

Thanks for the sea sounds makes it really nostalgic

been a while since this video was made, but glad you made it, also glad we have similar taste.

We need more of these with the sea sounds in them, it makes them so much better.

Free roaming in this game in the ship was never boring because of these shanties.

Respect to whoever did this video too. How's that attention to detail! So well down with the circular HUD with the countdown.

Dude.. These hit my heart... I love these sea shanties... I have all of the sea shanties on my game, and those ones are my favorites... Randy Dandy Oh, Drunken Sailor, and the ones you just played... Leave her Johnny is also my favorite... Best game ever... I'm glad I have it for the Switch

They are bloodthirsty marauders but they sing like angels. May they slay whoever stands in their way. Amen.

Who ever the main singer is did one hell of an outstanding job, beautiful voice

Beautiful game. One of my favorite b/c of the shanties. Thanks for the video! Gonna hit it on repeat, haha!

2022 and probably still my favorite of the AC series

Memories Love Black Flag, Miss You Edward So Much, Edward You Will Never BE Forgotten.

Love all the Assassin's Creed games for this one always hits different

Tears come in my eyes after hearing this so many years after . what a time it was just sitting in my room hearing these rhymes !😢

i would die for another game like black flag,from the shanties,to the amount of content,to the story and the pain we go through alongside kenway,black flag is the best assassins creed and we need another game like this,we all want to experience that again.
