I love AC4. Really getting into the story and I'm barely 33% through the game. They chose an amazing setting for the game, and I can't get enough of the sea shanties and tavern songs (Star of the County Down FTW).
I've heard that some of the best things in that game are the little meta bits and nods that they put in there... like how Abstergo is partnering with Ubisoft to make these games using the Animus and some of the references to past AC games. I really should play it at some point, but I feel the need to subject myself to AC3 first, since I have consumed every bit of AC content up to that point.
Any guesses or rumors as to where the next AC will take place? There were lots of little meta bits about past and (possibly) future AC games in the AC4 Abstergo computers that you hack, and I'm pretty psyched to see where they go next.
The American Civil War makes a lot of sense, imo.
There are definitely references to past AC games so far and probably lots of other stuff I missed. They did throw in a Monkey Island reference which I thought was fantastic. I have no interest in playing AC3 since I heard the main character was boring and it got really repetitive, and from what I understand AC4 is a vast improvement.

At one point they explain why they can't use vehicles in the Animus, since people tend to zone out when driving/riding, so it messes with memories. I thought that was a pretty clever way to make sure they'd never have to both adding vehicles to the game engine.

If you get too modern, the over reliance on firearms will change the gameplay too much.
Meh, I could see WWI maybe working out at least I think w/ all the trench warfare. Past that you're probably right.
But I upgraded to 4 pistols + max ammo asap in AC4, so I'm cool with more guns.
Hearing that loser talk about how awesome it is to be the cool guy at the club by pushing video game buttons was one of the saddest things I've ever heard. Jesus Christ, I kept watching. You sober up by taking a piss. Holy cow.
Shame. A good Vegas game about gambling with a good storyline would be pretty sweet.
Oh man, a wet t-shirt bonus game? This is so stupid.
"Nintendo also slashed its 2014 Wii U sales forecast 70 % from 9 million units to just 2.8 million, fewer than the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 sold in just over a month following their respective launches last year."

I enjoyed the game a lot when I played it. The one thing I will say is that AC3 has lost some of its appeal to me now since I've played AC4. AC3 introduced or improved some nice mechanics (boat, hunting, different weapons, etc) and they were good at the time. However, AC4 pretty much bettered each mechanic so the AC3 mechanics seem "average" when looking back. Connor is probably the most boring assassin in the series FWIW.I had actually been thinking about picking up AC3 since I haven't played it yet and the price has dropped a lot (I have some Best Buy reward certificates from Christmas gifts so it would pretty much be free, actually). I love the idea of the Revolutionary War setting. Is it worth it or should I pass?
