Watched the IGN review for Black Flag and it does look sweet, how would you rate it out of 10 so far?
I'm still not really sure, but I've spent about 10 hours since yesterday with it, so it's certainly very good. It's reminding me a bit of Far Cry 3 in many aspects - it has the same hunting and skinning animals to upgrade equipment and it seems to have a ton of different stuff to do. I would've found more stuff to do if I wasn't so ocd and had to clean out the first town of all collectables and stuff before moving on
The hunting is pretty basic though - not that FC3s was all that advanced, but in BF you can one-shot everything (at least as far as I've gotten which is aligators) and there's not much tracking involved.
The whole pirate-theme is working really well though - the ocean and islands look beautiful and there are pirates to be recruited, buried treasures to be found and ships to be plundered. There's also underwater stuff to do I understand, but I haven't gotten far enough to unlock that yet it seems.

Yea, agreed. I thought AC 1 was awesome the first few hours but it got so incredibly repetitive and the forced "you must now leave the game to walk around a lab, sleep and do other totally pointless stuff that do nothing but break up the game for you"-stuff out of the animus was really terribly done.
AC2 fixed almost all of that, added a ton of collectables, a castle to furnish and collect for and while it still had the out-of-animus-stuff, it was not so bad and actually had a decent storyline of its own.

Btw- Does anyone remember how much it was on the daily deal?
It was 25% off.
