Never had the chance to play this. In 2014 my budget was much tighter and I planned to purchase, but the reviews talked me out of taking the plunge. I was more trusting of reviews at the time. Maybe at $10 and at only 8 hours, it is worth taking the time to try it.
To those that have played it, do you think it is a fun game in 2024?
Attractiveness never goes out of date or style. It is inherent definition of the word attract.
It was a cross gen launch. I only ever played it on my launch PS4. Black Flag is my favorite AC game, but it doesn’t need a remake. The PS4 version still holds up with respect to graphics and gameplay. Would prefer a fresh experience that isn’t tied to a tired franchise.
Black Flag is a great game, but gaming needs to move forward with new ideas, mechanics, gameplay, etc. These types of remakes are partly the reason why Gen 9 feels lackluster when compared to previous gener...
Mode 7? But now maybe call it mode 8 to show tech evolution. 🤪
Like Blast Processing or Super FX?
@rebel I agree. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed the game and the beautiful world that was built. I enjoyed it so much I even platinumed it. However, I do recall several task like follow the fox or find the bird that got a bit repetitive after a while.
Pro patch and physical please
It took me a long time to understand the mechanics of the game and I almost quit at one point. Once I finally understood how the game mechanics worked, it finally clicked and became my all time favorite! Glad I stuck with it, but it was hard for me to like at first.
@baba agreed. It’s impossible to do everything in a single play through. So many choices and narrative branches. The game honestly blows my mind.
I didn’t go for platinum on my first run but I put around 300 hours in it. Had to go everywhere and touch everything. Lol!
That said, now that they have added mods to PS5 I won’t be able to get a platinum with the Dark Urge run I just started. Some of those mods are just to fun to resist!
I just finished my first play through and it became my favorite game of all-time. You are in for a treat!
I do agree that the PS4 Pro was an easier sell with 4K tech becoming more mainstream and that it made more sense with the abundance of 1st party titles at this point last gen. However, I couldn’t land a PS4 at launch, but was able to get a launch PS4 Pro with ease. The PS5 Pro may easily still follow the same trend.
Moreover, many consumers not being able to purchase a launch base PS5 for approximately 2 years is the outlier not the norm due to the chip shortage caused by t...
Update: in case anyone had the same issue I did. It took 12 hours and 20 minutes before my confirmation email came through. They are working through what has been a busy 24+ hours for them.
@ Speak Truth I appreciate the response! It’s not in spam either. Shows everywhere I can look (PlayStation Direct Store, bank transaction), except email confirmation. Has me a bit concerned. I know they have had overwhelming volume over the last 24 hours, but 6 hours seems like a long time.
I was able to get the standard pro also, but I am still a bit concerned. My bank says I’m good to go and my card is active, the pro shows in my order history, I have an order id, but I have yet to receive a confirmation email for the order and it’s been 6 hours. Is you or anyone else having this issue? Should I be concerned or am I over thinking it?
I platinumed the PS4 version in 2017, and absolutely loved the game at that time. Don’t really know why but I couldn’t get into HFW and quit after the first large zone. That said, I am not going to upgrade for $10 because I am not likely to play HZD in the near future or possibly ever again.
I wish resources were allocated to new experiences instead of remastering games that do not need a remaster.
Should have sold my Series X back when it stil provided a decent return. Worst console I have ever purchased in my life.
@derek I am of 100% belief that YOU aren’t studying the failure any further, but I guarantee you that Sony is and their Board of Directors will want answers. If they aren’t, they are not acting in the best interest of their business or the consumer.
If a massive failure like Concord is buried, the mistakes cannot be learned from and could be repeated. It is always important to perform a post mortem so Sony and gaming can head in better direction moving forward.
Failures of this scope, even if the budget was half of the $400 million that was alleged, lead to the death of developers, the loss of jobs, and is ultimately bad for gamers. See Atari’s ET in the early 1980s. Hard lesson, but needs to be studied.
I would say highly doubtful since it is one of the major selling points for the Pro.
