Assassins Creed 3: The Best Pirate Game Ever

[SacremPyrobolum]

While it is open to many points of criticism, I think that all can agree that the naval missions were super well done.

I thought that it really captured the feel of two floating matchboxes with hundreds of guns doing battle in a raging sea.

But it was not just the natural atmosphere that impressed me but also the amount of detail put in the ship.

I loved how the crewmen would scurry about on the sails and in and out of the hold after having your orders shouted by your 1st mate and repeated by the officers on other decks.

I loved how your ship crashed and your men rushed onto the opposing vessel after picking up weapons from the quarter master.

I think that Ubisoft should seriously consider taking the team responsible for the ship battle and give them funding to make their own game. It could be a lot more fleshed out, with different types of ships and more upgrades and perhaps fleet management capabilities. The team working on Mount and Blade: Caribbean! have their work cut out for them.

I would LOVE a pirate game with naval combat like in AC3. :-D

 

[Casual Shinji]

Fuck yeah!

I remember first seeing the naval footage at the last E3 and thinking, 'Keep your AC3, Ubisoft, I want this game'.

That naval gameplay, with the option to wander freely along and inside your ship, in a Wind Waker type setting, exploring the open seas?
I'd be all over it!

As a member of an NROTC, you just made me wet my pants. Thank you.

My love of ACIII would be much lower without that pirate game, its the only part that don,t feel like its scale back from previous game.


They better make a proper out of this (hopefully a RPG)

I'm inclined to agree. Most of AC3 was garbage, but most of the naval missions were amazing. It made me throw in Sid Meier's Priates for the first time in ages. Definitely the "funnest" part of the game for me.

Kaizoku oni ore wa naru!


A full on pirate game sounds really cool.

 

[LookingGlass]

I had similar thoughts. The naval stuff was really the only aspect of the game that stood out to me as new or interesting, despite not playing the last two games.

Now that they've wrapped up this Assassin's Creed story in time for the end of this console generation, they should definitely look to launch a new pirate IP with the next generation.

 

[WolfThomas]

I agree. When I saw there was naval combat I thought it be like Empire Total War (completely different genre but bear with), a finicky and un-fun extra. But I loved the naval combat more than the rest of Assassin's Creed.

A pirate game where you sailed from island to island like this would be amazing. Having pitched battles, transporting smuggled goods and upgrading your ship. It'd be amazing.

 

[Xariat]

hmm I only saw a few seconds of it when a trailer for it passed by my eye and I thought it looked a bit too unrealistic for me. Now I'm not saying that the rest of the Assassins creed games are realistic, and I don't want all my games to be realistic either. but as someone who has actually been in a sail boat (not as big mind you) and tried sailing against a storm. lets just say it doesn't work like in the trailer i saw.

 

[Ragland]

The naval combat in this game just made me sad.

It just made me think: "WHY COULDN'T RISEN 2 HAVE BEEN THIS LIKE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO?!"

 

[OldDirtyCrusty]

The naval combat is the only thing that makes me want to try this game. I`ve almost zero interest in AC3 besides this and the new setting.

I would LOVE a pirate game with naval combat like in AC3. :-D

Check out Pirates of the Burning Sea. its Free to play MMO

If u play as a pirate you can board and steal ships. If you stick with the game, the late game ships are 90+ gun First Rate ships of the line. a 45 gun broadside is probably the most awesome thing ever.

Then there is Napoleon/Empire Total War. If you have a powerful PC, you can watch the mayhem in all its glorious detail.


OT:
I am desperate to play AC3 right now! It comes out today on PC. I can't wait to play this part of the game!

 

[darron13]

Imagine an Uncharted Waters sort of game with the AC3 ship engine.

Open world too...oh god Ubisoft needs to do this

I have just launch again Sid Meier's Pirates! yesterday...if only we could mix those two games :-D

 

[Ymbirtt]

You actually just made me salivate. I used to love Puzzle Pirates, and I still love Space Cruiser Artermis: Starship Bridge Simulator. Smacking them together in a big, AAA, "preparrr tae be boarrded" way would be awesome.

^This

The Naval Portions were easily my favorite parts of the game by a long shot.

I am not a huge MMO fan sadly.

I like to play with myself...

Yes, thats what I meant.

I loved the naval parts... except where you had to defend another ship. Oh my god that was brutal.
