This game might be the truly last time I was totally in love with this series. Every release after had something that slowly wore away at my fandom.

I remember getting this for Christmas. I was so excited, in fact my dad and uncle bought me it, so I had two copies, lol… I’m grateful to my family filling my childhood with happy memories and amazing games like this

This game gave me one of the best "boss fight" experiences I've ever had. I'll never forget wandering too far south on the map and stumbling into the HMS Prince's territory. Fog rolled in out of nowhere, I couldn't see anything, then this massive man-o-war emerged from the mist and my crew said "It's a ghost ship, come from the underworld to sink us!" I was sufficiently intimidated, and got my butt kicked.

The last truly amazing Assassin's Creed game. I miss the days when this game was my life.

Released on my birthday, turned 12 and it was my first assassins creed, fell in love lol

Literally playing AC4 right now

First Assassin's Creed I ever played. I cherished every moment of it.

This genuinely is their best plot and set of characters to date. The game has many issues, specifically in gameplay, but I’m not gonna lie, Edward was way more interesting and compelling than previous protagonists (no need to say later protagonists as well). Like you said, the story wasn’t just a retelling of historical events, and unlike the other modern games it’s not painfully linear. Events happen sporadically with time as the world moves, it’s not checking off a hit list like todays AC, it’s lots of different clashing groups and individuals over a large space and long time.
Edwards situation of being pulled in not 1 but 3 directions is crazy and well played out. His conflict between being a pirate, aligning with the assassins, and seeing much of his world being taken as his kind are offered pardons, it’s just crazy. He’s not perfect and he’s very flawed but nuanced and his growth is believable. I miss that. Tired of boring ass character driven by 1 simple emotion or singular goal. Edward was massively challenged by the world and become stronger and wiser. I love this game man.

Recently replaced it and it still is absolutely golden.

My intro to the series. My dad used to let me and my brother do the harpooning activities and watch him play the game. I was shaking with excitement when one day he said "why dont you give it a shot". Loved the series every since. 🤭 and finally getting my blades today! Ill always love the earlier games with all my heart. Now ill get to show the support for the creed😂

First assassins creed game I played and made me fall in love with the series I will always cherish this game. 9 year old me even cried at the ending

Black flag was my first AC game

Unpopular opinion: I like tailing missions. I think the idea of tailing a target for additional information or to track their whereabouts seems like one of the most assassin-like things you could do.

Just found your channel through a random recommendation and i rly hope you get more attention

I still remember fighting La Dama Negra, HMS Prince, HMS Fearless and Royal Sovereign and finally destroying that fucking El Impoluto

Black Flag he becomes the Assassin at the End.

I started my 8th playthrough of this game last week. Still one of my favorites.

100% it 4X since 2020 and taken several trips to the Caribbean because of it. It is truly a masterpiece (imo)

Edward really needed a second game

the ending song parting glass was great for the game in my opinion
