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.
FC5 didn’t have towers and FC6, as far as I know, has a single tower that makes a joke about it. I don’t beleive AC Odyssey had those towers, either. Can’t remember Origins. The tower mechanic was also only used to visualize parts of the map, sometimes with a unique goody at the top. It’s back to foot-based map discovery. The busy work here is talking about all the bullshit collectibles and similar scavenger mini quests. AC is full of chests and AC4 had some cave clearing missions and deep sea dive puzzles. You have to go to certain locations or complete a certain number of collectibles to unlock some equipment rather than relying on the campaign alone. 20 hours of story, 100 hours of fetch.
I find them fun when they’re implemented in unique locations or the climb can be an experience. But they just kind of slap them in a lot so it becomes much more of a check box for me

The AC towers were fun and made sense, I never had a problem with it…its the repititions and lack of innovation that is boring.
