AC Black Flag remains the most fun I ever had playing a video game

It still blows my mind that Ubisoft didn't really continue that sort of Open World seafaring genre at all
I get that there's probably not a market for that game yearly but I'd play an iteration on Black Flag every few years
They tried with Skull and Bones, but it didn’t hit well. Closest I have found is Sea of Thieves.
I dont know. When I first heard about their game, I expected a neat pirate ship combat sandbox game, but instead it turned out to be a lame ass arcade shooter.
I dont recall seeing anyone happy about this, outside white knights on reddit.
It seems like there are a lot of niche game concepts and genres that are falling to the wayside as the major devs and publishers are more interested in dumbing things down for a larger, more casual (or in some cases more competitive audience). Hell Civ7 is sitting at mostly negative recent reviews after pulling that shit.

You're thinking of some different game, no idea what one tbh
Assassin's Creed Black Flag is definitely not an arcade shooter though

Writing the last 80% of Civ VII I should think. I've never played such an unfinished version of Civ at launch.
Probably the iPad port.

There’s Yakuza Pirates if you haven’t tried it out.
What's the Civ VII dev team doing these days?
