Well that was an utterly DULL ending. The main bad guy is hardly even featured much in the game unlike the previous AC's main enemies you've faced before so its hard to feel any connection after the grand finale.
Overall: 7/10 from me, and I love the series. It is just barely better than the 3rd but falls over in a lot of places.

Well, it is available on steam, but that is for ludicrous amounts of money considering what you get. i was just hoping that the disc versions didnt make me use uplay
Missed that- would happily pay to have it on steam.
Ah no
Bah...missed that too, and would have bought at that price as well.
Oh well, not long until Xmas sale - Dec 19 to Jan 2 (given the leak of both sales, quoting Autumn Sale will run from Wednesday Nov 27 until Tuesday Dec 3 turned out to be true).
I found that too, once I had the Jackdaw upgraded to Elite level. Just got 3 Legendary ships left to destroy.

I've only just unlocked the fleet and hideout bit, but I've got the penultimate ship upgrades just because I've been distracted by pirating.

Just started, never played the first 3 and its not bad. Enjoying the planning, stealthing and the killing parts, not so keen in the combat.
Upgrade the ship periodically, not just when missions prompt you to. It is also worth attacking pretty much every ship that you come across that has metal early in the game, as it can be quite scarce(until half way through, when it is everywhere). Oh, you can also get it from warehouses too.
Also, don't forget about Kenway's Fleet. Money isn't that easy to come across in this game, I found, and that is a very good source of income. I highly recommend the companion App for IOS or Android, so you can set it whilst oyu are not playing.
Also, a personal tip. Don't be in a rush to leave Havana(the first city)...you barely have to go back there tbh, so doing the bulk of stuff available probably isn't a bad idea
Hey guys - not sure if this has been posted yet, but it has give me the single biggest performance boost. Only applies when using vsnc and is more of a work around to get by what looks like an obvious bug:
No longer does my frame rate half when it dips slightly under 60 fps and everything runs nice and smooth

That looks terrible. Even after the 'fix' there is slow down every 3 or so seconds when he runs. Is it totally borked on PC? V glad I got this on PS4 - Smooth as silk.
Soldato
Smooth as silk at 30fps? It plays fine for me at 60fps using d3d overider to force v sync and triple buffering.
On his PC, which is almost certainly due to having a few settings cranked up too high. For me the frame rate now occasionally drops to the mid 50s (before it would plummet into 30s), but is a solid 60fps 90% of the time. Everything's smooth, no jarring frame drops, running at noticeably higher detail levels than the PS4 and at twice the frame rate. For me this 'fix' has turned AC4 from a jerky mess to working as intended - hopefully a patch will come out soon and sort this out.

Lovely and smooth for me with everything at maximum. Still getting bottlenecked with my CPU though. Wish they would make use of more than one core.

This'll most likely be in the steam sales soon. I'll pick it up then . Maybe then I'll think about playing the others haha. Got over half way in the first one and everyone told me to stop playing and go to the 2nd. So I'll start from there.
Heh, same. If they made a proper pirate game out of this away from AC using this as a base I'd buy it
Although this would need to be a shanty:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He-LBIyBUz8&t=0m6s

Same here too. I never get anywhere due to blowing up everything i find. It looks stunning and plays well. I guess they probably had a lot of the code from the silent hunter series. Considering how well this has been received they are likely to do more with it, even if it isn't an AC game. I would buy it!

Not took much notice of the Kenway fleet part until yesterday although I put most ships I capture into there, I then discovered the mini battles to clear the route for your ships so it guarantees they get there all over the globe, shame you can only keep 15 ships at any one time as you have to sink some lesser ships to add the bigger gunned ships you capture in the game, the ships carry on travelling in their virtual world on Ubisoft servers so next time you start the game you find some have arrived & you get the reward
