I have now played several hours of the new Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynched. The good: - It's gorgeous. - I love pirates. - Captaining a ship is as good as it's always been. The bad: - It contains the worst of both the original games' vestigial jank, and the new game series' vestigial jank.

Skulking along rooftops feels so much nicer now that the roof tiles are so crisp and tactile. I get distracted looking at moss. But, the simplified parkour (vs. the original, and the Ezio trilogy) has me constantly diving into hay bales instead of climbing onto the thing I'm staring at.

I'm told the parkour is a vast improvement over the more recent titles, which is nice to hear, but the great thing about the original Black Flag was that it was the sixth mainline title in the series, and its' parkour reflected that highly successful history.
