I mean, the biggest problem I had with OG Black Flag is something they can't change and it's the story. Never mind all the annoying Assassin's Creed bullshit with Abstergo and constantly pulling you out of the plot and stuff, it's also a story about the end of the age of piracy and starts to get really depressing once all your pirate buddies start getting killed off or imprisoned. By the end of it you're effectively the last pirate in the Caribbean.
Comes with the territory of that piracy era lasting only like 15 years. It was always going to end with most dead and the survivors going into hiding or becoming part of the respectable society through their amassed wealth.
Which is another reason why Windrose is already the better pirate game, since it's just going full Pirates of the Caribbean on the setting instead of being limited by historical accuracy.
didn't PotC end with "the end of the time of pirates is approaching" as well?
The first one ends with Jack sailing off to his next adventure while Norrington is like "Let's give him a day's head start just for funsies." The third one ends with the entire East India Company turning tail and running for their lives from the pirate lords and the Flying Dutchman. And if the later movies do this then that's just another reason to ignore them.
The second movie literally starts with hundreds of pirates getting executed.
Third movie, that's the Hoist the Colors scene. And by the end of the film the perpetrator is dead and his control over the Caribbean is shattered, what's your point?
I plan to do all the megaman games. I'll check out Unlimited but probably after I clear the official games. My current plan is to finish the classic games, go into X and Zero, then I'll hit 11 and then Battle Network. After I'll hit Legends.
By my understanding it's purely a matter of Megaman still being Three Laws Compliant. At this point, he really wants to just end Wily, but he physically cannot follow through on it. The bit about Megaman claiming he's 'more than just a robot' is apparently an English localization addition. In Japanese, he just goes into ellipses in response to Wily bringing up the Three Laws.
To my understanding, all official statements seem to reject the idea of there having been a 'catalysm' between the Classic and X series.
And the East India Company is the only power anywhere nearby the carribian?
Yeah, going by how prominent Pirates are in the popular consciousness, the type you think of weren't around for long.
They're by far the largest and the most threatening, yes. This is the company that almost single-handedly subjugated the entire Indian subcontinent on behalf of the British Empire and got away with perpetrating the slave trade long after it was supposed to have been abolished throughout the Empire.
>The United States enters the chat
My guy the US didn't exist yet during the heyday of Caribbean piracy.
And when they did exist they barely had a navy at all until after the Civil War.
I don't know when this is set, but the early US wasn't the naval power of the modern day. It took a long time before they were a serious contender in the region and even then they mostly stuck to bullying the ailing Spanish for fun. (Ok and to make territorial gains but it's funnier this way)
The time period depicted by Pirates of the Caribbean (and AC Black Flag) is the post-Spanish Succession era of piracy which is roughly 1715-1730. The American Revolution is still about 35-40 years away after the end of this period.
Well that pretty much settles it lol. Aside from not existing, there's a long long time before the US is a reasonable naval power at all much less actually able to impose anything.
Looks interesting, but potato laptop has too little RAM. And cpu and gpu are likely too ancient relics to play too.
Here's a promo for Blood West's new DLC. Chock full of References. I still have no clue where "Skeezee" is from thoough.Content Disclaimer said:
