    If you’re not enjoying your time at sea, on the ship itself, I’d recommend powering through the quest line, possibly the legendary ship battles and leave it there.

    I stopped trying to 100% after AC2, and sped through the ‘housekeeping’ pre-assassination missions. Follow this guy, loot this chest, pick her pocket, etc gets real old quick

      I absolutely hated the sea stuff. I played black flag for like two or three hours then I never touched it again.

      I really enjoyed Sea of Thieves, though I wasn’t a huge fan of the direction they took the game.

        That was the best part for me lol - open world piracy simulator with your crew belting out sea shanties and upgrading your ship. The on foot parts of the AC franchise might as well be on train tracks, not my jam

        The end game armor you unlock is good… but it is walled off until the very end game when you’re otherwise super geared up, so it’s not the ‘epic purple loot’ it seems like

        The Flying Dutchman fight is hella bullshit though, I swear that thing was midair and turned 180 on the spot multiple times. Made lining up broadsides annoying af when a man-o-war is nimble and tough
