Yeah, really. I mean...after all that stuff went down, I felt a little weird immediately going back to hacking. I almost expected to have a "OMG, I'm going to get caught!" moment, but I was a little relieved not to.

Now if M would just leave her office. I think that's the only pc I haven't hacked (knowingly, lol).

Have you been to the two server rooms? 

The one on the top floor and the one on ground floor? 

[happy_daiz]

Who knows. I would think so, but I must have just missed something. I was a little too dependent on the map, so if I didn't see an icon for something, I just didn't go to certain areas. And I started forgetting which cameras/servers I'd already hacked. I'll do another sweep.

I had completed 91% of the game by the time I stopped playing it. It's the best Assassin's Creed yet but I want to spend my time with other things.

Legendary ships... so relentless.

[Aarch_Aangel]

Picked it up over the weekend and must say it's my favorite AC experience so far. Logged in some 15-20 hours so far, yet still on sequence one, too much pirating to do!

Finished the Kingston mission today, I always felt there was something off about Kidd...haha.

I can't figure those out.  Got one down to about half health at best.

 I never approached any of the legendary ships.

Question to you lot, particularly those among you who have played past ACs with mouse and keyboard before. As I wait for my AC4 to unlock on Steam, it occurs to me I've never played AC with m+k before. Is it recommended I go buy a gamepad, or is it bearable without? Somehow it seems more fit for a controller.

All i can say about controls is this. Up until AC3 i never had problem playing with mouse and keyboard but when they decided to completely change the free running and block in AC3 i switched to gamepad and i'm glad i did.
Dunno how it will be for AC4 but im 100% sure i will use gamepad as well.

I have never played the games with a mouse and keyboard so I can't really say. However I do think that this game plays alot beter with a gamepad (most people who play on pc seem to prefer that for these games). If your xbox controller is wired, just plug that one in and you're good to go

Up until AC3 I'd played all AC games with M+K. It was far from impossible (indeed it was easy enough), but it started getting progressively frustrating culminating in AC3 which was a bloody mess to play with M+K. When I switched to a 360 controller, however, it was a whole new ball game. Counterattacks were now painstakingly easy to make whereas previously you had to rely on luck to finish a fight relatively unscathed. AC3+360 controller is Godmode, you can defeat entire armies if you so wish and the AI's only alternative is to keep throwing an infinite amount of troops at you in the hopes they'll be able to finish the job. It doesn't matter, you can repel ANY (and I mean ANY) attack. Here are some pics I took of a particularly long and bloody encounter:







If there is a downside to the controller, is that if you stray too close to a building when running you might start climbing it. So if you're, say, trying to get away from enemy troops, you'll waste some valuable time either finishing the climb or cancelling it to resume your getaway.

Yahtzee on Black flag. Quite positive for him.

If you're at 91%, you're probably pretty close to being done. Why not just finish? Sequence 12 goes right into 13, so if you're worried about it taking too long, it probably won't.

Plus, I thought the ending was really good. It continues on through the credits. You really shouldn't miss it.

I'm still scarred from when I accidentally got within its range of sight, at the very beginning, with no Jackdaw upgrades. Those things don't stop shooting, do they?

Someday I'll take one on... But for now I just reload save once they see me.

[Kalas747]

Just beat all 4 legendary ships, wasn't as bad as I thought once I changed my stratgy to be a bit more aggressive. Fun battles.

Also finished up the main quest storyline and loved the ending. I won't spoil anything here though.

I might tackle MP for the achievements, not sure yet.

[MarchWaltz]

Waiting for this game is so agonizing. It's not bad when I am busy, studying and working, but on my free time, I'm like: "GOD-DAMN YOU UBISOFT WHY ARE YOU DELAYING PC YOU JERKS"

[Newschmoo]

@Odanurr - that's quite a killing spree! I have never seen so many bodies!

I have ordered the game for PC as well (I did order for PC first but couldn't wait so got Xbox version too). I am looking forward to seeing the difference in the quality of the graphics. Oh and how much faster it loads!

I am not touching those legendary ships until the end, when I am fully upgraded

Indeed it is! I do like Yahtzee (and Jim Sterling), particularly their Rhymedowns. Hope that Angry Joe does a review because he has just received his PS4 and AC4 was part of the bundle.

I got carried away a bit.:innocent:

I honestly wanted to know if the AI would keep spawning an infinite number of troops or if there was a limit. Apparently there isn't.

By the by, does anyone know if the Limited Edition of AC4 comes with digital goodies as well as physical ones?

So, I've really been on the fence about this game, considering I really disliked AC3, and it seemed that it was walking in that direction with this game. I'll just tell you my childish gripes with AC3, and maybe you could help me out and say whether they fixed these issues. Please?

- It really felt like they were abandoning the idea of the Assassin Order. Connor was no less a member as his father (which overall I thought Haytham was a more interesting character than Connor, though I have heard Edward is a much more appealing character)

- They are taking a lot away from free-running by making all of these short, stout little buildings, with wide empty clearings between them and the forest (which I think is some of the best spots in the game). Free-running is really a core identity of the AC game franchise.

- The change to the control scheme. That's it. It made absolutely no sense to change it to something that I don't understand.

- I liked the Naval combat and side things like that, but I never felt they really did anything in-game besides distract me so I don't blaze through the game. And they never really gave me any sense that this was a part of the game I should pay attention to.

Yeah, that's about it, and I really hated the chase mission with Charles Lee. No man his age should be able to run like that unless someone gave him a Cocaine/adrenaline drip.

But really, I just need my feet pulled one way or the other.

[KOM_95]

I really like the pirate captain outfit. I feel weird sailing with the Mayan outfit on.

I think we're all in agreement that AC3 was not a step in the right direction. Connor was horribly boring, and not compelling at all. I agree with your assessment about Haytham; I was bummed that we went from a charismatic, interesting character, to a boring kid with no personality. They succeeded with Edward. He has personality in spades, and it's genuine. You really can't help but like him.

The environment is not "empty" feeling like it was in AC3. I'm sure you've probably read that about 40% of your time is on spent on a ship. I'd say I spent an even larger percentage of my 70+ hours on mine. There is much to look at and do. I mean...there are shipwrecks that you can explore with a diving bell. Mayan ruins you can explore (and stelae to solve). I could go on and on.

There were a couple of 'chase' missions, but they were nothing like that Charles Lee one.

I think you might be over-thinking this, but I totally get it. You may want to back up in this thread and read over the posts since AC4's release (we've been really good about no spoilers).

The really nice thing is that you can play it in whatever style you prefer. If naval missions or sailing/pirating are your thing (they're mine), you can feed that urge until the cows come home. This is a great game. I definitely think you would like it.

You all HAVE been really good about no spoilers. In other threads, it would've been spoiled by now.

I'm glad to know I can come in here and read about how y'all are loving the game without being spoiled, given I won't be getting my Xbox One till a week from now, and the game as well.

[CrazyRah]

Just completed sequence 11 to give an idea how far i've played and i can honestly say i didn't expect much coming into AC4 but it has soundly passed any doubts about it. Sure i still think the land stuff is a bit boring and if i have to tail another person i might punch something cute but outside of that the general experience is amazing. Edward has life, character and make terrible life choices. All i want in my crazy captain.

lol I already completed the ending, but thanks for encouraging me anyway. Yes, I enjoyed the ending immensely and have already hacked every computer there is. I especially liked listening to the Subject 0 tapes and learning about the connection that Assassin's Creed has with Watch_Dogs(they have a shared universe).

Man, after learning that, I'm definitely getting Watch_Dogs next year.

I was impressed with your screenshots.  I hope you got an achievement for that!

I don't know about the Limited Edition.  I know there is a Special Edition and a Buccaneer Edition in Europe.  The Special Edition comes with a mission called Sacrificed Secrets and some golden swords and multiplayer items (but I am not sure what these are as I haven't played the multi-player yet).  The Buccaneer Edition comes with three missions - Sacrificed Secrets, Hidden Mystery and Black Island, as well as the physical goodies. 

@Gravisanimi - I am in agreement with Happy_daiz.  Edward is such a good protagonist, I really like him a lot.  The rest of the characters are also great.  Havana is also a heck of a lot better than Boston.  And you will spend a lot of time on the Jackdaw (OK that's me, I do spend a lot of time on the ship, but that's because I just love being on the sea - pirating is so much fun !)
