    Discussion Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag - Single-Player Adventure Game

    I loved the first two games, but I always felt Brotherhood and Revelations were seriously lacking.

    Solved Missing damage effects settings?

    Glad to hear it. :) But yeah, I was inspired. A shame we can't have dynamic and local lighting in PoTC =/

    Solved Missing damage effects settings?

    Well, when I am done people may not want to play on setting 3 anymore lol. Decided to actually up the anti, restoring the small and medium splinters but quadroupling the amount and completely reworking the impact smoke puffs to be a bit more of an impressive smoke cloud of wood dust.(The...

    Solved Missing damage effects settings?

    Everything, crew members flying, splinters that look like planks. Not the subtle hailstorm of small splinters i originally created.

    Solved Missing damage effects settings?

    Hmmm someone has been tampering with Setting 2. It no longer looks anything like I designed it, at all. :(

    Solved Missing damage effects settings?

    Bingo! Guess it was not where i remembered it! Cheers Pieter! It was the realistic "Recommended" I was after. ;)

    Solved Missing damage effects settings?

    Mmmm i seem to recall that back in the day when I created the CannonFX and also improved the impact effects that I added an option for more realistic damage effects, I.E just showers of wood splinters instead of barrels, crew and wood chunks flying everywhere. But I can't seem to find that...

    Customize interface?

    Mmm don't think I have used the console before, didnt know it existed.

    Customize interface?

    Thats true, though an interface is easier than editing the code every time one wants to try something new lol. Btw, are all ships in game or are they tied to specific time periods?

    Customize interface?

    Aaaah I see. Personally Ive never been too big on storylines in Sail games, its always been about the ships and action for me and crafting my own character. Hope to see the Interface return soon. :)

    Customize interface?

    Trying to get back into the Build Mod, but the "Customize" option when starting a new game no longer seems to work?

    AC games cannot be modded no.

    Discussion Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag - Single-Player Adventure Game

    AC4 only has arcade mode? Based on what evidence? If your going to pass judgement, fine. But at least wait until there is actual gameplay footage, rather than just making faulty assumptions. ALL we have seen of it at this point is pre-rendered content. Immersion also means different things to...

    Discussion Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag - Single-Player Adventure Game

    Nobody here was implying that realism was NOT fun. However the "impression" many posts in this thread leaves is that AC:IV is not realistic enough for them to care. And rather than enthusiastically discussingand speculating about possible features of the game or things to do, places to vist...

    Discussion Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag - Single-Player Adventure Game

    Hey I'm all for realism.(I did after all create the CannonFX mod for POTC) I would kill for a truly authentic naval combat simulator in the age of sail to the last detail. But that does not mean I cannot enjoy other semi-realistic and arcadey games either on their own merits. Likewise Pieter.

    When did the people here on PA! become such a judgemental bunch? =/

    Discussion Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag - Single-Player Adventure Game

    Realistic is a bit relative here. I mean there are numerous factors why the majority of ships that size were not heavily armed. Having to do with ballast and weight distribution, gun caliber, cargo capacity and crew living space. While the majority of pirate ships were not that heavily armed...

    Discussion Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag - Single-Player Adventure Game

    Personally, I love extensive realism, I love silly and romanticized, and I even love the in between. I've played PotC, PotBS, Sid Meier's Pirates(the original and the remake), I don't think i'm going to be too bothered if its not 100% authentic, as long as the mood and feel are nice(Ubisoft...

    Discussion Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag - Single-Player Adventure Game

    I can see myself enjoying this game very much, even if its not a hundred percent authentic. After all, PoTC was a blast even unmodded, and it didn't exactly have the most authentic looking ships or combat in contrast to what it became after it was modded. But like i said, it was still great fun...

    Discussion Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag - Single-Player Adventure Game

    Well its not like naval gameplay was the primary focus of the game to begin with. It was kind of more an afterthought, and theres pretty much only a couple of mission in the entire main story arc that involves naval combat, 90% of it is optional.
