What a brilliant game this is. I bought this having read a few reviews and with no prior knowledge of the previous games and being a new character it doesn't matter anyway. Like GTA in that regard I suppose. In this you play a pirate looking to make his fortune and on the way get mixed up in some shenanigan's about templars and their global spying antics. It's a lovely looking game even on the aged PS3 and being an open world game you travel the oceans looking for treasure, get to attack ships in epic combat, and sing shanties with your crew.
I think I am enjoying this game more than GTA5 as GTA5 is somewhat like the real world today and it's a bit depressing in that regard. Instead the life of a pirate is a world of discovery and every island is somewhere new. You can sail on huge waves in hurricanes, watch the sun go down over the ocean the next day, and then get blotto on rum having discovered several batches of hidden treasure. In some ways it is an ocean based costume GTA.
Has anyone else played this game? If not then, then it has my hearty endorsement.
