Finished AssAssIns Creed IV Black Fags.
7.5/10 - It is definitely an step up from the previous bunch of boring AC games. It still retains some of the boring stuff like the excessive tailing missions and such but there's some fun every now and then. The graphics are improved, but still far from being classified as next-gen, but that will probably change with Unity. The story is decent enough, but nothing worth appreciating. The characters are fine, Edward Kenway is a decent protagonist and certainly much better than his boring grandson Connor Kenway. The musical score is also fine but nothing memorable. The setting is somewhat interesting and there are tall building/landmarks to jump from unlike AC III. The side-activities are ok but i miss the old stuff like banking and tailoring and landmark purchasing and renovating and parachuting, etc...
Overall a good game. It's better than what I've come to expect from Ubi. They need to improve the modern day story though, it was not nearly as interesting as previous games...
