Varies quite drown without

That would be:
- Jackdaw Edition
- Special Edition (excl at Amazon.com.)
- Standard
- The Skull Edition
- Digital Deluxe
- Bonus Edition

Figure does not include the Blah chest editions of which there are roughly estimated at least 3. (Such as the now outrageously expensive black Chest edition).

Times honest: It can also exaggerate real. A normal, chic and a total for the enthusiast it would have done.

Okay, there you go.

What's AC4? What's this? What's happening? I write not here. Take up any gaming side as 4players or GamersGlobal and should there perform the tests including detailed gameplay description to mind. Here now goes only about what is great and what can be thrown overboard.

What can AC4 not? Basically what AC has always failed.

The combat system: is a spongy clicking orgy. Aggressive players will be upset about the fact that the figure often does not attack the right destination or like to not respond. Defensive players will be bored rather because one waits only to counter-attack are also 8-10 opponents no significant problem. In addition, the smoke bombs are much too powerful. You just throw a back and can then comfortably while enemies disassemble until the smoke clears itself. here the game balance is missraten simple.

Climbing: The climbing mechanics had always been strong taste. Some thought it was so cool that other irrelevant and boring. In AC4 Edward but now so often run unwanted actions that you have to say: here the mechanism does not work well. Especially popular is the "corner-wall-error". Guaranteed every time a house wall is running up past held her in a frantic chase. The context-sensitive control annoying in such passages fairly.

Interesting side quests: There are some quite pretty questlines around Threatened Assassin, but the rest is boring narrative fall hollow and Sammelkram. And if you have an Assassin order brings out for the 20th time in a stupid pigeon just 100 meters niederzuballern the goal one wishes, the guys had played a little more Skyrim or The Witcher.

Wake-madness: Who by this time struggling to insidiously instead ballernd and murdering tackle a mission, will at some point ask whether this actually is just a storehouse or the general meeting of the royal army. It is partly absurd how many troops are held up to watch only a tinderbox. Granted these missions are therefore also quite demanding and you have to take time to observe the environment and the route think twice. On the other hand would probably fold if the guards were a little smarter and not after 20 seconds after you have a dead comrades found, would return to the daily business again.

"My goodness! That sounds horrible!"

Chamber, chamber. Because AC4 has then very much more to offer.

For Example:

Fantastically beautiful game world: this is the Karbik! Point. Off. End. The game just looks amazing. When you first anchor on the gentle waves of the Atlantic with the Jackdaw extremely detailed and illustrated the evening sun glistening red reflected on water simply stops to watch. Or when the broad sides of the wave crests over falling warships evades the strongest hurricane, heavy water fountains briefly flood the deck and the glittering lightning painting the scene in bright light, nothing more remains to complain about. Havana in the dense morning fog, huge waterfalls that plunge into overgrown ravines. Such eye-opening moments of graphical presentation are used in over 100km² big play world time and again.

The ship and the sea: Above mentioned the ocean view is simply a dream. It is Ubisoft managed to make the seafaring so that you even after hours repeatedly waived the quick trip to sail only to the goal. The Jackdaw himself controls suited, in principle you have thrown away everything that annoys sailing and anything left there that's fun. so the boat is extremely fast and agile, but still feels like a ton colossus to. Broadsides are fired only to one side, a certain target radius is still available.

Which brings us to the next topic Koemm also:

Battles: I admit it. I am a sailing Pirate Nerd. Therefore, I can also drain more than one party orgy here. What the combat system in the country was not, that makes the combat system at sea loose bet. Skillful maneuvering is necessary in order not to sink into the hail of bullets. all ship types have different tactics. In addition, it has a surprising number of options available. Rams, cannon, mortars, powder kegs, and more. In short, the sea battles led astray a lot of fun.

Money sense: For the first time ever in an AC one must pay attention to his money. This is partly because the Jackdaw can get dozens of extremely useful enhancements. These are also sorely needed, otherwise you have to a full-fledged warship the Navy no chance. On the other hand you can swim no longer after a short time in the dough (as in the old AC-parts). Coal Man must acquire simple. Meaningful upgrades there also for the character. Although you can omit the saber as before all and the entire game with the hidden blade deny, but more guns and a larger ammunition bags make life much easier.

Cool characters, great story: Edward as an anti-hero who is more reinstolpert by chance in the whole Assassin Templar chaos a great cast. Actually looking for wealth he angered by his deeds various parties resulting in great dialogues and situations. The rest of the cast also does a good job even though many not come into play, as they deserve.

No feeble-minded, over more complex trading: AC3 had a Trade and crafting system that simply complicated and ridiculous, was much worse, totally superfluous (there were only five different kinds of wood). This has been massively improved and simplified.

All in all:

The usual strengths in the staging, the graphical detail and love in storytelling had this part can not save them from the crash. getting a bit tiring and serious are the same old flaws in the game design since the Most data elements considered individually are extremely flat. Whether shading, dives, whaling or killing jobs. Hardly a mechanism reaches a significant play depth. But with the massive expansion of seafaring to the central game element gets AC4 that certain something. Here everything works from the production over the balance to the gameplay. And this change in focus was sorely needed. After all had to jump for the umpteenth time with a guy with a hood over any roofs probably no longer lured from behind the stove.
