AC4: Black Flag

     Less than one week to go (Oct 29 for current gen - Nov 19 for next gen) and AC4 will be on the shelves for all to get their little pirate loving fingers on. With the anticipation of the release and all the gameplay/ developer videos that have been released since its announcement, the excitement has us all ready to scale across the rocky cliffs and sail our own pirate ship (named Jackdaw) across the beautiful Carribean Sea.

     Off the heels of GTA V and less than a month away from next gen release, it will be interesting to see how AC4 will do for current gen systems. Other developers who have released current games with next gen versions expected to release later on, have experienced low sales numbers due to everyone holding out for next gen release. There is also the fact that some people were not satisfied with the AC3. Reviews were mixed yet the graphics and scenery were, in my opinion, beautiful and drew me in to the game, especially when out on the sea. AC4: Black Flag takes place on the sea for the most part and lets you explore on land as well as under the ocean, looking for treasure and other hidden objects.


     For the fans of the AC series I'm sure there will be a lot of free time spent on exploring the vast ocean depths and the beautiful Caribbean islands. As long as the story line holds up pretty well, this should be the best AC game so far. This game is definitely a day one purchase for me (I'm one of those waiting for next gen release). In the meantime, here's some gameplay footage. Enjoy!
