kitekrazy1 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I don't have this one yet. Thanks! This is not a great AC title but it is free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 It’s a beauty. My son’s been playing it all week (while he should be studying). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husker Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) Thanks Abacab. I've only played AC Black Flag, which I thought was good. Couldn't get into AC III, so looking forward to this. Edited April 24, 2019 by husker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the graphics for the Caribbean waters and the ships! But I haven't really spent much time with it yet. Now I have both to catch up on. Looking forward to the historical scenery of Paris!

kitekrazy1 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) Black Flag is one of the best. I was surprised I didn't see this offer since I get Ubi's emails. Edited April 24, 2019 by kitekrazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get an email either.

JoeGBradford Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Is this a free standing game (with single player option) or do you have to have an earlier version of AC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGBradford Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Ah damn I'm too late anyway! It's still 25 April here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZincT Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Thanks abacab! Pretty nice! 49Gb download but it plays after 39Gb and continues to load in the background. I don't have any other versions and it's playing as single player just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the OP I quoted the deal timeline as "From April 17th at 10:00 am to April 25th at 03:00 am (your local time)". It is still April 25th here too, but well past 03:00, and the deal is showing as expired also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGBradford Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 You did indeed. I should have read it properly. Been off the PC due to dodgy shoulder so a new game probably wouldn't have been a good idea anyway! ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that since many newer games have embraced the "open world" or "free roaming" concept, rather than a more linear gameplay, they now require many more GB of scenery and textures for hi-res rendering of boundless realistic 3D worlds. I have found that keeping installed games to a bare minimum of "favorites" or current titles, is the only way to maintain a decent amount of free space. If you have unlimited data and a fast connection, one option is to store the licenses on the game developers platform, and only download and install the games that are currently in use. That way the digital game content remains archived in the "cloud", available to download and play at any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy1 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Game developers are lazy. A good developer can make a great game under 30gb. Just Cause 2 is under 8gb and is still impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
