Pirates are freaking awesome. AssCreed is not. Seriously, I do not have high hopes for this whatsoever. Especially since it's coming out so soon you know Ubisoft is just wanting that AssCreed money by Christmas time. The naval battles were probably the only decent thing about 3 and this idea of pirates will probably try to put more emphasis on that so you think Ubisoft is honestly taking their time and working on the games or are they just trying to dish out a quick buck with something they saw was about the only thing they liked about 3?
I don't think the AC name will deliver a fun engaging pirate game especially since AC has peaked with 2 and never did anything new since. The series reached the stagnant point fast and and this game coming out so soon just proves Ubisoft is only worried about getting out an annual release every year. AssCreed is now CoD but just of a different color.
Somebody needs to make a Grand Theft Auto style Pirates game. Tell me that wouldn't be awesome, I dare you. Open world pirates doing any kind of criminal deeds pirates are known for. That's the recipe for epicness my friends.
