Assassin's Creed IV Review

I haven't picked up AC IV yet (because I'm still not sure if I'm waiting for PS4 to buy all the new games) and I want to hear from you guys, how is in general and how is it compared to the other AC's. What have been improved, what not? And if you can, try and write without spoilers (but I did see like the first hour of the game)

Companion App

Please tell me it's working for some of you. Apparently, Ubisoft doesn't fully understand the fact that Android apps should run on all devices with the same Android system, regardless of device. (Or maybe I'm wrong here).

Here is the official list of supported devices (as of time of posting):

iOs

  • iPad 2,3,4
  • iPad mini

Android

  • Google Nexus 7
  • Google Nexus 7 (2013)
  • Google Nexus 10
  • Galaxy Note 10.1 N8010
  • Sony Xperia Tablet Z
  • Asus Transformer TF700 Pad Infinity
  • Samsung P3100 Galaxy Tab 2
  • Samsung GT-P5110 Galaxy Tab 2 10.1

[Spoilers] Assassin's Creed IV Story Discussion

I'm so scared right now.
So I’m playing Assassin’s Creed 4. Hacking computers in Modern Day.
Reading one of the Data Files.
Talks about Blume, ctOS, saying it’s perfect for Abstergo, and how could Abstergo pass up this opportunity?
Wait a minute, Blume is the company from Watch_Dogs that invented ctOS, the operating system from Watch_Dogs.
Assassin’s Creed and Watch_Dogs are set in the same world.
Ho. Ly. Heck.

[KIND OF SPOILERS] "Raise The Black Flag" Impossible Full Sync?

The Constraint: "Plunder a Hunter Ship."
Doesn't ping. I did it once. Didn't finish the mission. Did it again with a second Hunter ship.
I'm about to go pay off the Officer right now, see if it pings then.
If not, I'll replay it and see if it pings THEN. For now though, this is angering me :/

To my Brothers and Sisters of THB

For those of you going for a midnight pickup, I wish you the best of luck. For those of you getting the game later in the day tomorrow, I suggest you play quickly to catch up to wherever DAZ has gotten himself to in the game.

On behalf of those of us waiting awhile, I politely request you to be liberal with your spoiler tags when discussing the story and missions in the game. However, please discuss what you like/don't like related to stealth, open combat, menus, etc. so we know what to look for.

PS4 Livestream Archive

I didn't watch most of it, but what I gathered was that it started out with previously seen demos talked over by Ashraf and an interviewer, and then they went into live PS4-streamed gameplay, played by Ubigabe. (ashraf still commentating)

I honestly don't want to see so much gameplay footage even if none of it is story-related, it feels like a spoiler.

But hey, some of you might want to see it! Stream is an hour long, I'm not quite sure when the actual commentary begins. might have to skip around a bit.

AC4 Playstation content is only exclusive for 6 months

http://www.shacknews.com/article/81711/dlc-for-assassins-creed-and-watch...

The 60 minutes of new gameplay promised for both games are exclusive to PlayStation platforms for 6 months only, a new video released by PlayStation reveals. That means you'll likely be able to play as Aveline on Xbox and PC just by being a little bit more patient.

Fine by me!

DAZ's Hidden Blade (SO HAPPY)

This is Edward Kenway's blade that was recently released. I'm hype.

My friend and I went into EB Games (GameStop) the other day so I could finish off my AC4 pre-order (pay the rest of it all so I could just pick it up on the day of release) but he tapped my shoulder and brought my attention to this thing. I picked up the box, set it on the counter, bought it and silently walked away.

Sigh. Guess I'll just have to finish off the rest of the transaction on Oct 29 LMAO
It's soo far awayyy T_T

PS: I'm sorry for my hairy chest and my shirt that did all but nothing to cover it up D;

ACIV: Black Flag Achievements/Trophies

The list of Achievements/Trophies for Black Flag has been revealed.
http://www.exophase.com/game/assassins-creed-iv-xbox/achievements/
Obviously, some of these may contain spoilers - though I read them and couldn't really discern anything except for gameplay spoilers. Maaybe the very last Sequence's achievement gives very little away if you've read Forsaken. If you haven't, no biggie.

I have a few I want to discuss.

[spoiler]
"Employee of the Month":
Complete 25 Abstergo Challenges
