Not counting spin-offs and expansions and DLC, this is the 4 th Assassin’s Creed game. Most people playing videogames are aware that they are playing videogames.īut Assassin’s Creed did well, so instead of an ambitious failure, it became a series. Certain parts of the city are cordoned off with a wall of glitches because they’re not in this particular memory. Killing civilians “desynchronized” you from the protagonist because he never killed indiscriminately. The interface and tooltips were just a part of the simulation. It all started as a convoluted way to explain away the videogameness of the world. But you were actually present day Desmond Miles, reliving his ancestors’ memories through a simulation in an attempt to uncover some Dan Brown-level plot involving ancient aliens and the war between capital-A assassins and Templars. The original Assassin’s Creed was an elevator pitch: You play as an assassin running around the meticulously recreated, open world, Crusades’ era Jerusalem. The series has always been one to acknowledge its own status as a videogame. Black Flag is as much the game as it is about the game, and what it means.
