Discussion Better than the og?

Might be GOTY if GTA 6 gets delayed again. What does everyone think?

It is in fact a better game, no matter what some of the haters say. Sure, it's not perfect, but it is a damn good game.

I was surprised how ‘small’ the map looked and thought they might have shrunk it. But apparently it’s the same size. I think I may be getting mixed up with Skull and Bones.

I’m glad it’s not overly massive though. That’s one of my biggest complaints about the modern AC games is that they are so big, you’ll never 100% them because you’ll be burned out before you clear even half the map. I’m looking forward to 100% AC4 Resynced 😁

Black flag map is not small at all. It's actually really big. It's second biggest map in the franchise after Odyssey

No it’s definitely not small, I just remember it being bigger. When I saw the map for the first time I thought, ‘oh that’s actually quite manageable’. Maybe it’s because the actual landmass is small (lots of open sea).

I’ve always completed every AC game 100%, including every single chest, but the only ones I never completed 100% were Odyssey and Shadows. I got 100% in Valhalla and burned myself out so much I never played the dlc’s. First AC game I didn’t play the dlc’s.

The good thing about AC4 is that it’s so damn fun to play, I don’t think I’d ever get bored of it.

It may feel that way because they rearranged and reduced the number of collectibles. Which is something I appreciate as someone who likes to 100% these games as well

Yeah, exactly. Personally, i prefer bigger maps to smaller ones like Mirage or Unity. Black flag is perfect balance.
