Community reactions what the comments are saying · updated 15/08/2026

This week in the comments

This week the community's attention is mostly hijacked by an internal controversy (plagiarism/auto-translation accusations against a creator covering the game) rather than the game itself, alongside scattered technical feedback on naval combat and continued nostalgia for the pirate setting.

Plagiarism accusations target a content creator

Roughly 7% of this week's comments accuse a Spanish-speaking YouTuber of stealing scripts and using Google Translate instead of original analysis. This is a new topic this week, unrelated to the game itself.

« No, you don't even use AI, you just use Google Translate to steal their videos »

Nostalgia keeps flowing

About 9% of comments still praise the trip down memory lane the game offers, a constant theme since the announcement.

→ see "Generational nostalgia", a recurring theme since the announcement
Naval combat still causing grief

About 6% of comments flag bugs or imbalance (El Impoluto's damage, enemy respawns), a recurring issue since launch.

→ see "Naval combat too hard", an ongoing debate since July
Community keeps asking for more remakes

Nearly 7% of comments ask for an AC1 remake, the Ezio trilogy, or other franchises — now a standard reflex after every Ubisoft release.

Top reactions and controversies

Generational nostalgia

Dominant take
17 %

The most consistent theme since the announcement: players who grew up with the original share their journey (teenager in 2013, adult now) and rediscover the game emotionally.

« I was 13 in school when I first watched you play Assassins Creed Black Flag and here I am at 27, a lot has happened in 13 years but here I am, rewatching you play this🤝 »

Features lost along the way

Dominant take
13 %

The removal of hidden-blade combat, enemy weapon pickup, and the Freedom Cry DLC keeps coming back as the remake's biggest mechanical disappointment.

« from what i've seen, a thing which has been removed is the ability to use other weapons (axe, musket, and so on), which is a shame. its such a small feature but i always loved using those weapons to make the takedowns, they always looked so dope »

Anger over day-one DLC

Controversy
9 %

The game's price (€60-80) and especially the ~$80 of day-one DLC split opinions: some buy anyway out of love for the franchise, others call for an anti-Ubisoft boycott.

30 % Buy anyway 70 % Slam the DLC/boycott

Original vs remake, which looks better?

Controversy
8 %

Side-by-side comparisons split opinions: a majority praises the graphical leap, but a sizable minority finds the original grittier and misses the washed-out colors in Resynced.

55 % Prefer the remake 45 % Prefer the original

Legendary ship fights cause frustration

Dominant take
6 %

Fights against legendary ships (the twins, El Impoluto) keep coming up as a frustrating difficulty wall, despite tips shared between players.

« My first few attempts had me tilted and raging. Told myself to take it easy and attempt 1 ship per day and ended up clearing em all in one sitting one afternoon. All I can say is don't be greedy and perfect brace is your friend. »
