The Debut of being the games FIRST Black Assassin, is yours to take up very soon!


You're speaking of Aveline? We'll see how they do it. I felt AC4 did a decent job of not focusing on it and turning it into some civil rights pedestal, but also not ignoring it completely.

I've heard there are some interesting and unique gameplay elements to it. Like, you can charm the guards yourself.

I've only played a little so far and I've encountered the same ages-old problem as before: running too close to a building may will result in your climbing said building. This is because the trigger is used for both running and automatic climbing. Another thing is that Edward (but this is also a problem with previous games) is too slow when climbing a building so the "chase" side quests can be a real pain. Imagine, if you can, you're pursuing your target at full speed, jump to the next building and barely grab hold of the windowsill. Congratulations, you'll be wasting precious seconds climbing to the top of the building before you can resume your chase. To top it all, the tackle button works when it wants to, what results in me murdering all of my chase targets in exasperation. Also, I think shooting controls for the mouse are not optimized but I'll have to verify that one.


Too slow? It's not really all that slow, realistically.

I did that same thing, too, in the beginning. Someone in this thread (AstuzOz, I think?) tipped me off that Level 4 Hunter ships were higher-level, and carried more metal, so I tried it for myself. Sure enough, that was the case.

Also, I noticed that if you do have a high wanted level, you'll generally see higher-level man o' wars, which are helpful to acquire for Kenway's Fleet. Some of the missions require 80 storage, and lower level man o' wars just don't cut it.

There's really not much reason to clear your wanted level, if you're trying to get more materials. The higher the level, the better the prize.


Interesting.

I personally don't like the idea of having a high wanted level for the same reason I didn't enjoy being "notorious," felt like I was always in danger. Moreso on the Jackdaw, when there are actually ships chasing you.

So, I think I've completed up to Sequence 9, putting me in Sequence 10. I've still got a lot of ship upgrading to do(daaamn it) but I've been doing fine as is. Have 15/16 Mayan Stelae keys so thats good.

I personally haven't even bothered to collect those yet. I want to when I get completely out of school, but having 30 of them was just way more than I was willing to collect initially.

Yeah, they did a great job. I think they did it far better than Infinite really.

I felt that same way in the beginning of playing AC4, too. I'm not usually the "I'm here, come get me!" person at all. In fact, I hated the notoriety stuff in cities in older AC games, where you had to bribe someone to get your level down, or rip down posters while in town.

Then I reached a point where I felt pretty confident with the Jackdaw, and realized that none of the ships are all that tough (once you get some upgrades). Even in numbers. It just takes practice. Unless you want to scout out every ship in the sea, it takes a while to get metal, otherwise. A little disclaimer, though - I never did fight one of the Legendary ships.

What I did was to liberate most of the forts in the area I was hanging out in, then got my wanted level up. Then, when I wanted to remove my wanted level, I fast traveled back to one of the forts, hopped off, and bribed the guy near the dock. Easy peasy.

Anyway, small footnote: your wanted level at sea doesn't seem to have a bearing on your notoriety in town.

There's a naval contract that requires you to get a wanted level, to take out hunter ships, so you may want to get used to it beforehand. Image IPB

So I'm definitely late game now. Anne's with me. I've got the Mayan armor. Still have upgrades to get on my ship.

Guess I'm gonna focus on assassin and naval contracts, taking out ships in the mean time.

Still need the elite plans. I've got a few diving bell locations I have yet to explore so I'll have to do those, and I haven't tried to face the hard forts yet.

Just finished the game after all the problems with UPlay's nasty Cloud Savegames.

What a great game! Yet in the end I was rather sad when Anne started singing. I think you guys now which scene I mean.

 My fight with the North West Legendaries, it's pretty epic (the last ship anyway).

www.youtube.com/watch

If you defeat all four legendaries you get a "charge" attack that is awesome, albiet a little stupid (PREPARE FOR RAMMING SPEED)

I don't know if you need to defeat all four legendaries or just the one in the North-West, since that ship has the ability.

I have finished the game :wizard:!

I did all the side quests, collectables etc before finishing off the main quest. I welled up, it gave me the really big feels. I feel a bit deflated now!
For some reason I do not have 100%  pistols and swords in my collection, so I assume they were related to DLC I didn't have.
I thought this was a fantastic game and Edward is officially my favourite assassin. I hope he appears again in a future DLC. I have downloaded both the Black Flag and Forsaken books to keep me going!

So, I've gone hunting for all the elite ship upgrades, and now have to wait a few hours for my fleet to hopefully bring back the elite fire barrels map.

Have upgraded my ship some more, only a few more upgrades to go, though it'll require some money. Means I should treasure hunt. hah

I've finally explored every dive spot and recruited 500 men to my crew. Haven't beaten the game yet, but I want to complete as much as possible before I do.

Definitely have enough money now, just need metal.

Ended up going after the legendary ships, one after the other. Took them all out in my first attempts. Got real close to losing against the twin ships though, one more shot and I would've been out.

After that I went after the hard forts. Took those out easy enough.

So now I'm wondering if I should go for the naval contracts and such while I wait.

Finished all the naval contracts, all thats left is getting the fire barrel upgrade plan and I can sail through the rest of the game.

Meaning I'm gonna have to mess around with Kenway's Fleet until I get it.

Finished the game. I loved the last scene.

I laugh at all these people saying the ending was emotional or what not...obviously never played MG4

Don't compare emotional impacts. Just feel the feels! ^_^

The incentive for doing all the naval contracts was getting the lovely blue sails and the golden pistols.  I haven't touched any of the legendary ships, but I will do because I have realised you get about 50 achievement points on Xbox.

I quite like Kenway's Fleet. I have made a lot of money using that, to the extent I have far more than I need!

I've only ever rocked the black sails of Captain Morgan. Never replacing those. :P

The Golden Pistols are pretty sweet though.

As for achievements, I've unlocked all of them barring the few story related achievements I haven't reached yet, 100% the main missions, and the multiplayer achievements.

I'm content with that, once I beat the game.
