For Assassins Creed Black Flag they had an entire team of like 14 people just making sure the ocean looked pretty.
and then a decade later they did Skull and Bones and somehow it looks way way worse
Different team.
That game was the best pirate game that nobody asked for, and it was a freaking Assassin’s Creed game! xD
Only Assassin's Creed game I ever played. The worst part was the parts where you're in the present day and had to do some boring computer shit for some reason? During the whole time in those parts I was just angry and thinking "just let me be a pirate again FFS!"
Yes, oh my god at the times they would bring you out of the Animus for some shitty present day story that wasn’t nearly as interesting as the in Animus story!
I played the prior games and it was nice to continue the overall story. It got silly tho and I didn't play much after black flag.
All they had to do was remove all the bits that made it an Assassin's Creed game and it would've been perfect. But they did Skull & Bones instead. It's like they hate easy money.
Seriously! I think that’s true about most companies these days. They literally go the worst route possible 90% of the time.
That ocean looked amazing when the boat didn't load and there was hole in the ocean with some people and items floating above it.
