deeshopper Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Anyone playing this game? I got it on sale on Black Friday, which is the only reason why I have it. I'm really enjoying it. Apparently, you can invite your friends to be a part of your fleet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robjr83 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I don't have it...yet. I made it very clear to Santa though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeshopper Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 lol. Let me know when you get it. I've honestly spent more time on the side missions. I've never done that before, usually waiting to do the side projects at the end. I don't even know where in the game I am in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robjr83 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I heard it looks great on next gen consoles. I'm sticking with my 360 for now. My favorite part of the last game was naval combat, so I'm looking forward to this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeshopper Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Yeah. I'm sticking with 360 as well. I used to play Metal Gear Solid but it seemed like every new game was released with a new Playstation. I really wish they'd figure out a way (I'm sure they already could), get the newer games to play on the older systems. I can't justify buying a new system when AC is really the only franchise I play.

OutsideRzAcE Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I have been playing nothing but DC Universe online for about 2 months. I think my wife is going to break my Ps3...and she bought it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keveeno Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I love this game! I even made my girlfriend open it early (christmas gift for her), so I can start playing it as well. How much you get it for on black friday? I got Battlefield 4, and assassins Creed 5 for $25 a piece. For ps3 anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeshopper Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 Damn, that's better than what I got it for. It was $35 for Xbox 360. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutsideRzAcE Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 She must wanna give you a PS4. Your birthday is around the corner. Not after all the hours i've been logging into the PS3. I think she's learned her lesson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spen Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I will have it soon, but probably for PS4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robjr83 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Alright I got an Xbox 1 and black flag for Xmas. Awesome game so far. I haven't progressed too far in the story yet, just sailing around and exploring. I have to hold back taking on those those giant Spanish Man O War. Basically raiding the small ships to build up my hull/cannon. Did some exploring got some Mayan stones, found some chest. Side missions are fun...harpooning pretty fun.

I am just now up to seeing the Spanish Man O Wars. I see a bunch of English ones. I'm about 53% through with the game, and I've got a little over 40 hours of playtime in. I've been doing a bunch of side missions. I've only tried the deep sea treasure hunting once and the sharks got me. I'm not a good swimmer. How's the Xbox One?

thundercleetz Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I will probably get an Xbox One soon. The One Guide TV integration looks amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robjr83 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I didn't see a noticeable difference in Madden. Black Flag seems vast. The color is vibrant but its hard to tell without seeing its 360 counterpart. COD Ghost is noticeably better in graphics. I was really pissed with Madden, they recycled the audio. Really with a $60 game they use the same dozen lines from last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeshopper Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Finished the game...I think. You'll understand when you get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spen Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Anyone sign up for the Initiates stuff? What is it and is it worth doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeshopper Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Hadn't heard of it, but I just joined using my UPlay account. Looks cool though with different missions. It connects with your platform game to automatically keep track. While I finished the game, I've gone back to complete all the side missions, etc. It's a real pain in the butt, but I hear there's some Abstergo stuff that happens that I haven't seen yet.

Spen Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I just started Black Flag and they sent me an email about the Initiate stuff. I'll take a closer look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeshopper Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 I downloaded the Black Flag app. I left like I was playing on steroids. It was nice though, that I could make money in the game while not being at home, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robjr83 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Did my first couple of diving sidemissions. The swimming mechanics are horrible. I know its a video game and I'm supposed to let reality take a backseat....but ..... fighting underwater sharks..REALLY? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its a video game and I'm supposed to let reality take a backseat....but ..... fighting underwater sharks..REALLY? Yeah, I don't really like that part. It seems like down is up, and up is stay still. Ugh. And technically, you don't fight the sharks, they just sort of destroy you and you have to find a hiding place in between their attacks. Oh, and some of the smuggler's dens are in underwater caves. Fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robjr83 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I have had a couple of times when the shark attacks you head on you have to press a button combo to fight him off. Just a couple other observations: My spyglass shouldn't tell me what a ship is carrying. I should just raid random ships and get random goods from it.Ship boarding has become kind of boring with only 3 animations and a couple of ship types .I'd be nice if the money making system was different. Goods prices should change town-to-town like in real life. If Havana has a Rum shortage you should get a higher price there. The guard's logic has always bugged me...... The guy you were talking to 10 seconds ago disappears....ok goes back to walking a linear path Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
