14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 10: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

Good controls.....the white whale is a bit annoying but over all, very satisfying!
la Historia y jugabilidad estan muy buenas
Původní Black Flag jasně dokazuje, proč moderní remaky v čele s novým Resynced selhávají na celé čáře. Zkoušel jsem ten nový remake a byla to neskutečná otrava – jakmile dojde na souboje a přibývá vybavení, je vidět, jak zprznili funkční mechaniky ve jménu moderních nesmyslů. Starý originál sice nemá nejnovější grafické pozlátko a má své mouchy dané dobou vzniku, ale hratelností a čistou zábavou novou verzi naprosto drtí. Největší rozdíl je v ovládání a bojovém systému. V původním díle je skupinka deseti vojáků čirá radost: naběhnete mezi ně, držíte situaci pod kontrolou na pár klávesách, řetězíte protiútoky, popravy a nepřítele vykrájíte plynule a filmově během chvíle. V remaku je boj těžkopádný trest, kde člověk musí neustále uskakovat a mačkat kombinace 5 až 8 tlačítek, aby vůbec něco předvedl. Stejný paskvil udělali ze střelby – v originálu stačí stisknout F na rychlý výstřel, nebo podržet pravé tlačítko myši k zamíření a levým vystřelit. V remaku musíte mířit, mačkat čísla pro volbu zbraně a při každém přerušení a znovuzamíření celý ten krkolomný proces opakovat. I parkour byl zprasený: tady stačí držet Shift pro běh, šplhání i skoky v jednom přirozeném toku, zatímco nový díl nutí držet Shift a do toho ještě mačkat mezerník. V remaku navíc hromada věcí z původní hry chybí, protože je tam radši ani nedali a obsah osekali. Nechápu, jak může mít ten remake na Steamu tak kladné hodnocení – lidi se museli bouchnout do hlavy, když jim takhle překombinované a zprzněné ovládání vyhovuje. Na moderním PC je potřeba vyřešit jediný technický neduh: starý engine neumí pracovat s hybridní architekturou nových procesorů a háže zátěž na úsporná jádra, čímž vytíží jedno vlákno na 100 % a zbytek fláká. Stačí přes utilitu omezit afinitu čistě na výkonná jádra (bez E-cores) a hra běží naprosto stabilně a hladce. Pokud chcete skutečnou pirátskou jízdu bez zbytečných překážek a prstového tělocviku, sáhněte po originálu. The original Black Flag clearly proves why modern remakes, led by the new Resynced, fail completely. I tried the remake and it was a massive chore – the moment combat kicked in and more gear was introduced, it became obvious how badly the core mechanics were ruined for the sake of modern trends. While the original lacks the flashy modern graphics and carries minor flaws of its era, its gameplay and pure fun completely blow the new version out of the water. The biggest contrast lies in the controls and combat flow. In the original game, running into a group of ten soldiers is pure joy: you keep full control using just a couple of keys, chaining counter-attacks, fluid executions, and slicing through enemies like a cinematic powerhouse. In the remake, combat is a clunky chore where you constantly roll around and have to press combinations of 5 to 8 keys just to pull off basic moves. Shooting suffered the exact same fate: here, you simply tap F for a quick shot or hold the right mouse button to aim and click left to fire. In the remake, you have to aim, select the weapon with a number key, and if you stop and aim again, you are forced to repeat that entire cumbersome sequence. Even parkour was downgraded: in the original, holding Shift handles running, climbing, and freerunning smoothly, whereas the remake forces you to hold Shift while simultaneously pressing Space. On top of that, the remake cut out numerous mechanics from the original because they couldn't even bother implementing them properly. It makes no sense how the remake has positive Steam reviews – people must have lost their minds to enjoy such needlessly convoluted and butchered controls. On modern PCs, there is only one technical hiccup to solve: the old engine does not understand hybrid CPU architecture and offloads threads onto efficiency cores, pegging a single thread to 100% while the rest sits idle. Restricting CPU affinity strictly to Performance cores eliminates all stutter instantly and makes the game run flawlessly. If you want an authentic pirate experience with zero bloat and fluid action instead of tedious finger gymnastics, play the original.
great game but Ubisoft suspended my ass for no reason
Best Assassin's Creed.
An oldie but still one of the better entries into the series.
