Fuck the underwater swimming sections. Fuck them.

 

They have like two of my last favorite elements in games; breath bars and fucking sharks.

 

It's bringing back nightmares I used to have while playing Treasure Trove Cove...

 

Problem is they've put most of the ship weapon upgrades down there, so i can't just skip it if I want to be the baddest pirate that ever sailed the seven seas.

 

My fleet is bringing in around 50,000R a day, so there's that!

They're so catatonically boring that you lose all motivation in repeated moments of existential despair so profound that the only course of action that seems available to you headbutt the weirdly deadly sea anemones until you dissolve and diffuse in a wisp of red.

 

What do the people think of the DLC? Been holding back on getting it, but am really jonesing for a go on this again.

The underwater sessions are not particularly hard. What problem are you having with them?

 

They're not that hard, it's true. But a combination of frustrating control scheme (aka every underwater level ever), instakill sharks, confusing level design, boring swimming through tunnels and the overarching panic of running out of air, make me want to give up being a pirate and go straight.

 

I just don't like it.

I suppose you didn't like the eavesdropping portions then either Bob?

 

I do not, but they aren't as bad as the underwater ones.

 

 

 

 

 

The sharks are anything but instakill. You can easily get like 5 shots from them before you die.

 

Well i thought that from the first one I did (the story one where you have to get the medicine), but the one I did later (which was in some sort of underwater maze with sharks in) I definitely died twice in succession by instakill shark.

Finally finished it after dragging my heels for a while.

 

James Kidd was the least convincing secret woman ever.

 

Blackbeard was awesome. Poor bastard. Edward could totally have stopped the guy launching the signal.

 

The ending few chapters dragged a bit.

 

The rope darts were unlocked really late in the story. Seemed a bit odd to receive a new piece of equipment after not getting any for ages.

 

 

Easily the best in the series. I think I'll be doing a lot of a side stuff now.

Every time James Kidd came on screen I yelled "You know nothing Jon Snow" in the worlds most annoying Macclesfield accent.

 

I did exactly the same thing. I had to check if it was the same actor (it isn't).

Started playing this yesterday on PS4. Looks really nice! Most of the issues I had with ACIII seem to be gone (mostly the washed out environments and somewhat boring main character). Also played a little multiplayer - slightly depressing to see the introduction of a prestige element now.
