You forgot to mention one thing Black Flag does have over Rogue and that’s the graphics are better in the next gen versions, I know that’s kind of a shallow thing to take into account, but it’s true.

However I agree, in some ways Rogue is even better than Black Flag, I was actually pretty impressed with how compelling the story was in Rogue.

I wasn’t exactly impressed with uPlay when, after buying Rogue through uPlay, it asked me if I had uPlay installed.

uPlay is actually Quite Good now! As long as you want to play Ubisoft games, it’s as good as Steam in both ease-of-use and pricing – although the latter is because Ubisoft fix things so that they don’t undercut themselves. It’s come a long way from the scourge of five years ago though.

I thought it was terrible, but that was before I played Unity which makes it even worse, somehow. It’s basically the same as Black Flag although toned down a little bit. You’re still walking verrrrry slowly around that office doing trivially easy puzzles. It only crops up three times though; I recall Black Flag’s version was much more intrusive.

(Apologies for glacial response time, it’s been a busy couple of weeks.)

also I believe the Steam version just launches the uplay one anyway. I think the reason rogue passed so many people by is because it got buried under all the talk of the various catastrophes relating to AC:Unity which IIRC was released around the same time.

I was just thinking the other day about reinstalling Black Flag and having more boaty fun. I didn’t realise there was another game in the series like it. Ubisoft put out so many AC games that I rarely pay attention to them as it’s only the boat stuff from Black Flag I’ve ever enjoyed in the series. Rogue seems to have become lost amongst those in my brain.

Still, the deluxe edition is only £14.99 on Uplay so that’s made my mind up on it! Cheaper than Steam and it means I don’t have to give Valve any more of my money.

It really surprised me that they didn’t port Rogue over to PS4. Black Flag got ported, and since Rogue was released on PC I doubt it would’ve been that terribly difficult.

How is the modern day stuff in Rogue? That remains the series greatest weakness, so I always find it interesting to see how each game tries to deal with it.
