Any gamers here? I play a lot of Destiny 2, and I've been meaning to give Deep Rock Galactic a go!

Far more than I should - pc and xbox. Been gaming for over 20 years and gone through nearly all of it - Pokémon on Gameboy to Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Not a huge fan of MMORPG but currently working my way through war thunder with my oldest kid

Hell yea. Gaming is love, gaming is life.

What did you think of AC Odyssey? Heaps of people rip on it but I bloody loved it. The combat was great.

I loved it, took away my #1 AC game from Black Flag. Several full playthroughs, on both characters.

Hell yea. I tried Black Flag after Odyssey for about an hour and it didn't really grab me so much. I'll probably try it again another day as I know it's considered one of the best AC games.

I saw on Skill Up (Aussie gaming news channel on Youtube) the other day that Ubisoft are rumoured to be doing a full remake of Black Flag. Cannot wait. That game is 100% the best game in the Assassin's Creed franchise... even if it's not really what fulfils the normal genre of Assassin's Creed

I'd love a remaster of the original game personally, better graphics, improved control scheme etc

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I think the plan is a remake rather than a remaster, which is even better. Remaster is usually just a graphical upgrade but the core game stays the same. Remake is completely redoing the game on a new game engine with all the modern improvements you gain from that. I'd assume they'd use the engine being made for Skull and Bones (or just scrap skull and bones completely and merge it into new black flag)

Playing through it now - the only issue i have is that apart from the spear there isn't really anything assassin. Good game though, lots to do.

Yea it's definitely more RPGish than old school AC's but personally I don't mind that because I love RPG's. I also didn't like the ship combat.
