Black Flag arguably has the best naval combat in any AC or any game in general.

Unity is buggy as hell *still*, Syndicate doesn’t have a ton of exploration value like this, Origins and Odyssey are garbage if you’re an ‘old school’ fan of the series.

It’s one of the best AC games, so...

This was easily one of the best installments in the series.  Meanwhile I’ve had Origins installed on my computer for a year and haven’t bothered to finish it because it just wasn’t that interesting.

I still laugh over that Forbes headline declaring Odyssey to be the ‘heir’ to The Witcher 3. It certainly borrows heavily from that game, but it’s no match. Alas, it failed to learn the most important lesson: never waste the gamer’s time.

“And honestly pretty okay?” Come on now, Shrek is a great movie, as is the second one. Yeah, it is loaded with images and moments (and one particular song) that became memes, but those memes would likely not exist if no one enjoyed the movie.

Wait, I thought AC was supposed to be historical? I mean, I know it had scifi elements with aliens and whatnot, but that stuff was supposed to be “secret” history.

If you want to be reductive like that, that has literally been every single Star Wars movie ever made. So they are keeping the true path.

“But now it seems every child in Toy Storycould be a secret Dr. Frankenstein: They can create life.”

I would say for sure skip it. 

I’m not Heather but I’ve played about 35 hours in Odyssey, loved Witcher 3, skipped Origins, last AC game significantly enjoyed was AC2/Brotherhood.

I get so frustrated that the community accepts this kind of thing.

It’s very 2018 to say that TDK always sucked ass and Ledger is a one-note hamfisted cartoon, because it’s a very white dude thing to say that TDK is a masterpiece and Ledger “BECAME the Joker.”

Nope. The Dark Knight is in my Top 3 all-time movies. I saw it in the full-sized IMAX opening night, with impossibly high expectations, and it blew them away. Riveted.

“Now: The Dark Knight is a better movie than the perfectly okay Slumdog Millionaire, the movie that ended up winning Best Picture for that year. But it’s no masterpiece.”

TDK is near the top of my list as far as movies go. As for comic based movies, it’s #1. There has not been another movie as good as TDK, it’s going to be difficult for any of the DC or MCU movies to match it. Very few movies make me cry at the end, but Lt. Gordon’s monologue at the end of the movie as Batman is…

Man, am I the only one who still thinks The Dark Knight is an all-time great? Well, I’ll carry this burden. 2008 was a weird moment overall for superhero movies—even at the time, without the benefit of hindsight, you could feel things changing.

I’ve seen complaints that the button-mapping for interacting with objects is very inconsistent? I’d consider that a broken control scheme, if you have to continually refer to prompts to know what button does what in each specific instance.

That the fundamental control mechanics are bad, broke or impossible to really work with.

You’re selling me on unity! I’ve never played an AC game
