Ah yes...





I always wanted to try Black Flag. Luckily it's on Wii U so if my computer isn't powerful enough I could still get it on there if I remember. I also still haven't played AC3, despite that still being in my library...

You and me both.
I tend not to be bothered to try a game if the download/install size
is huge....unless it's something I REALLY wanna play.
There seems to be a general consensus that AC3 was one
of the weaker games and AC4 one of the better AC games.
To me.....the games look almost the same.
Like Call Of Duty.
Why can't they make a modern version of AC, in a city with X as the protagonist.
Oli as a mad scientist.   (But a good guy mad scientist.)
Tbh I'm not a fan of games set in the past.

*Deletes the 50s style XCOM game thread*



Well I mean, the XCOM game had cool Inception style agent costumes
and there were futuristic elements like aliens/alien weapons.
Also, the mix of TPS + strategy mechanics made it interesting.

Prototype 1 sorta looks like a modern AC but I didn't really like
it much when I tried it (didn't play it that long though, apparently the beginning is not very good).
But I guess I do prefer playing as a good guy character more than
villains/anti-heroes.

Okay so I guess Rick is more neutral but eh.

Reminds me of Oliver's uncle from 7 Legends.

*Burp* "C'mon, Oli! Get up! We have to find *burrrpp* find X! Stick th-this communicator up [censored because Xtreme]!"
"Aw jeez, Uncle..."

Idk. I should do more of Oli's uncle at some point. It's been like 6 years.

One day I'll get the Rick and Morty references.
