Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag stands out as a remarkable entry in the Assassin's Creed series, not just for its affiliation with the franchise but for its exceptional portrayal of the pirate era, making it arguably the best pirate game alongside Sea of Thieves. Set in the Caribbean during the Golden Age of Piracy, the game seamlessly blends the elements of stealth, exploration, and naval combat, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the life of a pirate. The vast open world, teeming with lush islands and bustling ports, provides an unparalleled sense of freedom and adventure. The naval mechanics, a standout feature, offer thrilling ship-to-ship battles and a captivating sailing experience. Black Flag's narrative, anchored by the charismatic protagonist Edward Kenway, successfully weaves the intricate threads of the Assassin-Templar conflict into the vibrant tapestry of the pirate world. With its captivating story, immersive gameplay, and a meticulously crafted pirate setting, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag not only excels within the Assassin's Creed universe but also stands as a pinnacle in the genre of pirate-themed gaming experiences.

AC3 was my introduction to the franchise and I still have a soft spot for it. The Haytham twist ranks among the best moments of the franchise.

I've heard people compare Arno's character to Ezio in his first game and looking back on it, its somewhat close but a trilogy would have built Arno's character.

“You strongly believe that a detailed backstory was necessary to build a connection between the fans of the franchise and Connor.” THANK YOU!

Bro got AC Odyssey %100 right (I have an unhealthy obsession with Greek mythology)

Not many people appreciate Syndicate, but I still think it’s a very decent AC game. I enjoyed playing Jacob for full frontal missions and Evie for stealth. The fact that I could separately add skill points based on what I use them for is was also a plus point for me.

I like Brotherhood because of how well it expands on what made 2 great, and also because it introduced summoning minions. The only problem with this system is that minions would die too often in battle, even if you upgraded them to max level.

I really like syndicate for the setting. Underground fight clubs, corrupu workhouses using child labor, stealing carriages, the gang aspect, the industrial revolution, the base that was a moving train

Arno was a great character with a really cool personality, he just had so few opportunities to show any of it.

I just love how rogue forces you to have a wider view of things. Storywise speaking. A very well executed change in perspective.

When Valhalla turns 5-6 years old everyone will suddenly start appreciating it. Massively underrated game.

I just like ancient Greece, and a game that is pretty much how a Greek would have told those events is just neat.

4:32 i truly loved the boondocks reference😂👍

I'll always be an Origins fan. That game has such a beautiful setting, soundtrack, and side quests were the best they'd ever been in my opinion. I'd add that I also just prefer Bayek as my favorite protagonist. Truly a video game character that should have more than one game. I can see why people like Unity, but I can't for the life of me defend some of it. As for Syndicate, I honestly do like Jacob better than Evie.

Unity was peak AC for me, Paris seemed so beautifully created and you literally felt like in the middle of the revolution, where one side of the city was rich looking npcs while the other side the poor looking npcs felt like they were gonna stir up some trouble. One mission literally has you stealing books to save them from burning. That was what felt like you were in the middle of a revolution. As for Arno's character, he felt a little childish but could be understood, a man in the middle of a revolution will be feeling conflicted, but he's the first one to actually question the creed, if what he was doing was right and the chemistry with Elise was amazing, every twist and turn felt great. It also has the best combat imo and wonderful coop missions. The creed point system was amazing and the parkour moves felt so cool. Plus, it could let you wall eject from anywhere unlike syndicate, allowing arno to seem like a flying squirrel. A lot of people claimed bugs, but i bought it on a ps4 and apart from one download of the entire game, i didnt have any issues playing.

Always gonna be Ac1, it's straight to the point, still unique on its own, and it just screams everything I want

Valhalla is massively underrated. It's noot perfect but it's an amazing game graphics-wise and also its just enjoyable to explore medieval England and start viking raids

Ac Valhalla is by far my favorite, with origins and Odyssey taking the number two and three spots, I just like getting immersed in the story, feeling like a badass warrior

feels weird being an AC3 fan and not getting roasted for it so used to it feels off when there's no roast lol

“… and you probably have an unhealthy obsession with Greek mythology” Oi. I watched the video to be entertained; not attacked 😂

AC Valhalla: You just binged Vinland Saga and wanted to find a sandbox game with a similar setting.

I do think Jacob is better then most AC protagonists, only Edward, bayek and Ezio are better. You might not like him but at least he is unique, plus his sequence 8 storyline with Roth is the best part of the story.

Jacob is a top-hat wearing, grappling hook swinging, carriage hijacking, sword cane smashing gangster taking out rival gangs and living in a secret train hideout. If that isn't the coolest shit you've ever heard, I don't know what to tell you 😤😤

My favorite AC game is and always will be ACIV: Black Flag. I 100% acknowledge that it has many issues. There are probably too many tailing missions, and they can be boring at times. The parkour can get real janky at times as well. The combat boils down to pressing circle and then square over and over if you're playing "optimally". Any criticism you have about the game is probably valid. But it's JUST SO FUN. You get to be a pirate! You go around, exploring the massive Caribbean, finding treasure and collectibles everywhere. There are side quests all over the place; there's no rush to complete the main storyline. There's so much to do, so much to see, you can fight enemy sailors in and on ships, or you can hunt down templars on land. You can find buried treasure! I've played the game all the way through probably 5 times now, and i'm currently on my sixth playthrough, and in my last one, I 100%'ed the game. Do you understand me? I 100%'ed an AC game. Every animus fragment, every shanty, every side mission, EVERYTHING. I love the game with all my heart and I always will. If you don't like it, i'm not mad; I feel sorry for you because you'll never be able to experience it the way I did my first time around. And if you've never played it, I found my copy in the used section of a game store for only $10. Maybe you should check around, see if you can try it out sometime. :)

Honestly ac 3 is my favorite because it’s the first ac game I played. So it’s always going to hold a special place in my heart. But ac rogue had an amazing story and such a complex character with Shay. It’s an interesting game to play

As someone who's been playing since AC1 (yes I'm that old), here is my top 5: 1) AC4 Black Flag 2) AC2 3) AC Brotherhood 4) AC Revelations 5) AC Unity (post glitch patch)

He's actually right about me liking Odyssey the most. I do like big maps with a lot of stuff to do. Especially if I like doing that stuff.

AC 1 fan, withh 3 as a close second. I actually did like the "keep it simple, keep it real" approach 1 took

I didn’t play Unity until years after release but now that it’s basically fixed, the game is great. The map is insane. The characters and their love story are actually pretty awesome. The DLC was fire. Unity, Rogue and Black Flag are my favs.

Ac2, ac brotherhood, ac Revelations: you don't care about the gameplay, you just really like Ezio.

I feel like Valhalla would be a great game if it wasn't Assassin's Creed, I had fun playing the game, but it felt distinctly like a different kind of fun to that of playing AC proper, Mirage luckily seems to be a nice fusion of an in-between of the Origins through Valhalla Games and the older titles, though that could just be the Baghdad setting and how clean that Iconic Filter looks

The Boondocks reaction to Valhalla is the best. 😂😂😂👏

Your assessment on AC3 was spot on. 😂

Waiting excitedly to see my favorite AC game, Valhalla... Awww... Sadge.

Ac 2, brotherhood, revelations and the short film of ezio dying was all I needed. I loved the philosophy, setting, story, character development and gameplay.

The ONLY criticism that I am truly able to make of AC2 is that it completely shifted the tone from the first game, from "Spy thriller", to "Hollywood movie about spies". For some, this was good. And I won't dispute that it gave the series its popularity. Nor that the Ezio saga is amazing, its parkour amazing, its combat amazing, etc, you get the point. But those who stick with AC1 will realize that the game is STILL more mature in its tone, concepts and execution than ANY other AC title. In AC1 you really DO feel like an agent who is working for a cryptic order of Assassins that are trying to influence politics and the outcome of wars. You help the city BECAUSE it makes you gain favours from its populace and destabilizes the region to help YOUR MISSION. You help your Order's brethren BECAUSE they will give you intel on YOUR marks. Altair was a true Assassin. He "feels" like an Assassin. I have never felt much of that in any other AC protagonist. Truth be told, I've only played AC1, the Ezio trilogy, Origins, Unity, and Odyssey. The only time I've felt like Ezio "kinda" felt like Ezio was in Revelations, and that's about it. Every other AC game that came after the first, has NEVER reproduced the feeling of the 1st AC.

AC Valhalla. Perfect for setting, awesome combat, an interesting version of ship combat and a great chapter that ties back into Desmond at the end.

I love how Valhalla brought back instakills with the hideen blade, but found a compromise system so you have a little minigame to make the blade succeed. Genuinely great addition.

As a Valhalla fan I feel like I shouldn't be here (Although I am very biased because I am from Norway and love vikings) But great video i enjoyed it :D

Revelations is peak for me. Everything about it was just awesome.

Origins,3 and revelations are mg favourites

I will defend AC 3 till the end of time. Bro I loved Connor's backstory and if it wasn't for AC 3 not only being my first AC game and as good as it was, I wouldn't have had a desire to check out the other games I feel like

Assassins Creed Valhalla.... Assassins Creed Mirage [...] LOVED IT

I don't know why, but using the Rope Dart predator move in AC3 is so satisfying. It's probably my favorite thing tondo in any AC game, so that makes AC3 my favorite. Plus, tomahawk.

Assassin's Creed Revelations may be my favorite video game of all time. I am currently working on a full review of it.

AC 3 is so underrated I liked that game tbh not the best but it doesn't deserve all that hate (I hate the prologue tho 💀💀💀💀💀 it was too long)

My list of favorites is AC1, AC Brotherhood, AC Black Flag, and AC Rogue.

I've recently done Valhalla 100%, after 350 hours I still shit on it, lol.

Brotherhood is pure nostalgia. But I think Valhalla’s and odessey create the best game

Okay in defense of Valhalla that soundtrack slaps 😅 the main menu theme gets stuck in my head randomly sometimes lol

I’m in love with Valhalla, but not as an Assassins Creed game, more like a Viking simulator. That being said, my favorite game is Valhalla, but my favorite Assassins Creed game is Black Flag

I like Ezio a lot. The idea of a brawny teenager forced into stepping into his father's steps to save the family. Suddenly he is the head of the house. But after AC 3, the hook that you can tie enemies with and basically hang them is such a good idea. Tbh, AC2, AC brotherhood and AC revelations are my favourite. Honorable mention: AC syndicate and AC odyssey

Wrong. My favourite Assassin's Creed is Syndicate, because I simp for Evie Frye. haha XD

I love assassin's creed 3 because you can climb trees and hunt. And it was set during the American revolution.

My #1 favorite AC game is often fighting with the second place making the games interchangable. As of right now #1 is AC 3 and #2 is AC Brotherhood though it probably wont be long before the positions are switched. Ac 3 was my first experience with an Assassin's Creed Game. I was playing the game at my friends house, he was stuck in an assassination mission, early game haytham where you needed to free captured natives before your target is exposed. Once I air assassinated someone for the first time, i left my friends house to go to gamestop, bought AC 1 and I have been a fan since. I liked the activities in AC 3 most about the game, the homestead missions, the liberation missions, hell even the underground and Connor is a effing beast. Brotherhood on the other hand I like for different reasons, i love the lair of romulus missions and the armor set you get from those missions is my favorite outfit in the series. The Assassin mechanic was so fun to me and I abused the crap out of it. There was some parts of the story I always had a problem with, there is a sequence of missions where you infiltrate the palace to get to cesare borgia and I hate that sequence with a burning passion. I disliked the mission where you assassinate the banker, the half naked guy. And if you are playing the dlc or the game in the ezio collection there is a series of missions focused on a historical figure and the first mission in that game I hate so much. They throw like 30 enemies at you and i think one of the optional objectives is to not take damage. You may think "Oh thats easy with counter kill," you cant counter kill a brute with a heavy weapon or a spear. Best option is a smoke bomb which you likely wont have when the mission is unlocked.

Bro killed me with that Boondocks clip 😂

If I have to pick my favourite, probably Syndicate. Loved the Victorian setting, grappling hook for days and while Jacob is nowhere near my favourite I don’t think he’s that bad. Unity I’d have to say is the worst for me. There’s things about it I appreciate and the things people praise it for do have merit, but for me it comes with a big asterisk with the phrase, “When it works”. This game was so inconsistent with how the mechanics worked that it became really grating over time and the story and characters weren’t interesting enough to keep me invested. Plus I lamented how the French Revolution felt really under-utilized. Say what you will about Syndicate, I feel it ironed out the inconsistencies, used its setting better and had a much more enjoyable time overall.

Me who equally likes all Ac games available on the ps3: *7th gen consoles intensify*

Syndicate is my favorite. I love Victorian England and I love Jacob and Evie.

Brotherhood will always be my favorite. It felt like they did a really good job of carrying over what was good about assassins creed 2 and gave us the Borgias as the villians who are in my opinion one of the more interesting historical enemies that we've had a chance to go up against. I haven't played much past black flag, but it was interesting as I already somewhat knew who the Borgias were and got to see them fleshed out in the game. It added to the element of these games where you feel like you are playing through history even if there's a bunch of Sci fi elements to it. Plus Leonardo da Vinci and his inventions were fun and the multiplayer was so much fun too. I still remember constantly 1 v 1ing my friend and we would just try to stun each other as much as we could.

AC III is my favorite. Fighting for the birth of your own nation really spoke to me. Egypt, Rome, the Caribbean are all cool but fighting in my own backyard makes a whole lot more sense. Conor unlike the other Assassins is pretty much written like Superhero in comics if you really think about it.

How do you not mention Ezio being introduced as a plus for AC2. He was clearly the best protagonist we've ever had in AC😊

Ac3 is the most cinematic game in the ac franchise, from the amazing intro that really immersed me like how you try to escape notoriety made me feel like i was in real peril to how the stealthy and badass connor is

As a Mirage fan, I watched this entire video with anticipation of what you might say. Whether I’ll agree. Whether it might ruffle my feathers. Only for it to last 2 seconds and be 100% correct

Unity’s parkour is great. I also wish they’d bring back playing with friends like Unity. I liked having roles, and the idea of an Assassin brotherhood was done well because of that

I’m finally getting around to playing Valhalla.. it’s not a bad game but definitely does not feel like an AC game at all.

I love bayek (origins) and the kenway saga including rogue.

Brotherhood: u miss the multiplayer mode more than anyone and miss the adrenaline rush you had when u were running away from ur pursuer in wanted. THIS!!!!!

Personally, my favourite part of AC4 is that it takes a step back from the Assassins vs Templars storyline to include a really cool story about a pirate chasing riches down a path of self destruction... that and the naval combat, sea shanties, cast of historical characters, and setting sort of excuses the terrible tailing missions in my opinion

I was like agreeing and and disagreeing throughout the video but when Valhalla came up i lost it. Easily best video I've watched this month

Altair was the OG! We all fell in love with Ezio! I'm American so Connor had a special place in my heart. Who doesn’t love pirates, right?! And the gameplay is the best pirate simulator we've got! Rogue was a nice change of pace and who couldn’t relate to a good betrayal story that makes you see people from a different point of view? Unity did have some cool gameplay. Syndicate was the smoothest combat animations and who didn't want to run a crime family? Origins had the best story of the series and was revitalizing because of its controversial mechanics. The story of a rage-fueled father taking revenge for his son's death and in the process of learning to let go of his hate and his grief founded the order with his wife. He becomes the First true hidden one as he needed no recognition. Such a great story! And skipping the next 2, Mirage does justice to its long-time fans. It's what made us fall in love with Assassin's Creed.

I like mirage cuz it’s my type of game and how I would be if I was an assassin

My very first AC games was Brotherhood. I bought it the day after Christmas at GameStop, and it was hands down the best investment ever. Been an AC fan ever since.

I'm between AC1, Revelations, and Unity for my favorites, and yeah, pretty much what you said

The Mirage part is basically me 😂

I loved AC Revelations and AC3 the most. Revelations because of how the stories of Altair, Ezio and Desmond got so intertwined. And AC because of the new mechanics and more natural movements.

Pretty spot on with Origins. I like a healthy amount of innovation without disturbing the sanctity of a game, something Valhalla lacked on both innovation and still compromised its sanctity.

Assassin's Creed 2 was my first ever game of the series and will always be my favorite.

Black Flag being as amazing as it is in spite of tailing missions says a lot, because if it were a lesser game the tailing missions would be a dealbreaker for me

Syndicate, origins, 3 and odyssey are my favorites, haven’t played mirage

My favorite AC is liberation. I love Adeline de Grandpre and her adventures.

I like the ‘mystery’ elements of the later AC games, just digging out the whole conspiracy from the very roots upward, one clue at a time. Helps keep you on your toes and at your best when playing.

The Valhalla hate is CRAZY, it’s really great story and a good gameplay, y’all wild.

For Black Flag I have ONE singular thing to add to the pile of gud. The sea shanties, occasionally I'd skip fast travel just to use a shanty cuz yes. Just *chef's kiss* yes

Black Flag is great pirate game bogged down by being trapped in the AC franchise. Ironic that the assassin bits in an AC game are the least enjoyable bits of it.

All of those games are great. Even Valhalla. I am 100% correct on this.

I get that tailing missions have a bit of a bad rep despite personally enjoying a few. But I was so giddy when I got that one tailing mission in AC Mirage by the docks.

My favorite game is origins because was my first game, i like the setting, the creation of the order of the hidden ones, the dlcs which brought new maps to explore, the piramides, the afterlife worlds, you can choose between sterminating soldiers with combat, poisoning dead bodies or stealth, the historical monuments like the piramides, the costumization with many outfits, the arenas and the side quests

Mine is AC Brotherhood, and I NEVER really played the multiplayer. I love it's story level design, and how it was the game that introduced followers that you can level up to also become Assassins. The Romulus armor was also very cool in my opinion.

Oh my days, Brotherhood is certenly not my favorite single player ac game but you bringing up the multiplayer made me agree completely.

I like a lot of the tailing missions in black flat, i like going on the rooftops and murdering everyone there then just watch my unaware prey as they isolate themselves and become a target. Also the mission where you take the jackdaw to the swamps is probably one of my more favourite missions in the assassin's creed games, mostly because ubisoft nailed the whole atmosphere of that location.

Valhalla. You've never played another Assassin's Creed.

Look, okay, I didn’t need my obsession with Greek mythology pointed out

The mirage one is on point

Personally AC1 was my favourite because I played it the most growing up. Altair was just a really cool dude and i loved his story. Consequently, seeing him in AC2 was great even just as a statue. The first three games AC1, AC2 and AC:B are my favourites, though tbh I put the seriea off for a very long time since these games released. I only just beat AC3 and I'm gonna play Black Flag soon.

Brotherhood was my favorite game when I was younger. I didn’t know it had multiplayer😂

Brotherhood is my Favourite because of the absolutely ridiculous chain combo Kills you could do to even oneshot heavy enemies.

thank you for admitting valhalla is the best in the entire series

Hot take, but I have played all of the AC games and I love them all for different reasons
