    they already did mess up. they listened to all the racist fuckwits in America and removed as much of the pro anti-slavery stuff in the game as they could. and they fucked up on textures… lots of floating items in the air too. they fixed none of the bugs while introducing new ones. and don’t get me started on the hitbox trash. let’s just say that enemies can miss your ship by a very wide degree and still damage you, while you have to be pinpoint accurate.

      They just released AC: Shadows last year… And this remake has been extremely wanted by fans for years.

        Shadows must have done horrendously badly for Ubisoft to be dropping something they felt they knew for certain would be a money printer like Black Flag. Its the kind of remaster the company holds onto for when finances get really bad so they can guarantee at least something in rough waters.

          Do you think they started working on Black Flag only after the Shadows reception? Game development takes a lot longer than that.

    Remake or not, I’m honestly not excited by yet another 3rd person action adventure game. Been so many good ones last few years I’m just totally burned out on them. Maybe I’ll come back in a couple years when its 10 quid on Steam.

      I’m revisiting old ones, loving Mad Max, was $2 on gog recently, and Rage is next. Went to buy it and is already in my steam library 🤣🤣

      Will be doing some Far Cry games again after Rage.

        Mad Max was of my favorites from that time.

        I HIGHLY recommend The Sabateur as well. It’s not super polished, but it was really cool to clear out areas of Nazi-occupied Paris by any violent means necessary. I played it when it originally released.

        Plus, that gameplay just seems *chef’s kiss here recently.

        Like you, I bought it for a few dollars on GOG. It’s still good.

          I’ll check it out, went through all the new wolfensteins recently too. My gog library is getting a lot of play, but not nearly as many games in it. Just tired of MP nonsense lately.

          Reanimal and split Fiction were awesome split screen games I play with the kiddo

      You can buy the GTA3 Trilogy still on the Rockstar website. I dunno if its missing music from the original release like I heard several years ago, but im playing through old San Andreas now. You just can’t get it on steam.

    Looks good so far, if it runs well that’s a neat surprise of the year. Fingers crossed it’s not 70€ lol.

    The combat was what really bothered me. Everything else seemed perfect, but something about it feels too flashy? Like he’s whipping around a little too much. Another thing that kind of bothered me was the compass. I shouldn’t judge it before using it but I think I’d much rather have the Minimap. Besides those two things though I’m really hopeful. I think as long as they don’t touch the story it should be fine. After getting burned by Shadow’s mid game, I’m hesitant too trust Ubisoft with stories
