So after my inital shock and disappointment of seeing a pirate-themed AC being revealed, I've thought about it more openly since then. One thing I'll say about this game, that will either make or break this title: If you can TRULY free roam the seas in your ship and do what YOU want to do, this game could be a resounding success and bring a great (and much needed) innovation to the franchise. It's actually cool to see Ubisoft try something pretty brash and different. But, I seriously think that if the naval elements aren't free roam, it'll flop badly. I would also go as far as to say that this game is probably the most important entry in the series from a commercial view. It could literally make or break the franchise. I'm now exited and open minded to see where this goes. Can't wait for Monday !!! :D
