I knocked out a good chunk of Black Flag today. I’m aiming to 100% it, so i’ve been cleaning out locations before finishing the main story. I did do sequence 8. The ending mission for this is one of the ones that is most memorable to me along with The Blackbeard one and the Final Mission.
I got this screenshot while i was supposed to be hunting Vane. Instead i took a detour to grab some collectibles to save myself from a second trip.
I also got this Screenshot of a Large Cat while backtracking to an earlier Island to grab all the Collectibles. I tried to leave it be but ended up having to kill it in Self Defense:
I also wanted to talk about the water in this game. It’s like a solid 9/10 for me. I’m not a fan of Tropical things, but the Water is gorgeous in this game. This screenshot shows the really deep blue parts of the Water. Which are my favorites.
The game never looked super great in screenshots, but when you’re playing it with the sounds and water moving and the sway of the boat and sails going, etc, it definitely becomes MUCH more engrossing and immersive.

Black flag was great.
But are you playing with reduced graphics or did the game age that poorly?
I’m wondering the same, maybe trading fidelity for battery life?

1080p Normal Settings with HBAO Low and and SMAA. A few of the Screenshots were taken on 2K with AA turned off and HBAO on high though
I’ve played this for the first time on and off over the last couple years. This looks the same as my Xbox One playing the One digital version.
