Assassin's Creed 4 is called Black Flag - rumours emerge

I don't agree with you there dude, I'm sorry. I hate micro-transactions as much as the next gamer, but in no way does that mean it's being milked. You are not forced to use micro-transactions and it has no impact on the game if you choose not to use it.

In-game microtransactions for a premium game? Dozens of release day DLC? Forgive me asking, but is that a cow-farm I smell?

I think he meant they are not milking the franchise, not the micro transaction stuff.
 
I don't really see a problem if they milk the micro-transaction bullshit. As long as it does not impact the (intended) experience of the game they can offer anything for sale, I just won't buy any of it (unless it's campaign DLC probably). When they start milking a franchise, on the other hand, it turns sour at some point and the games all start looking/feeling/playing the same. Now in my opinion that has not happened with Assassin's Creed yet and they can keep on making them if they keep improving/changing/adding enough; as long as the writing stays good and the game is fun to play I'll buy them.

That being said, I really, really, really hope the next game has a pirate theme. :D Even if I don't get to play as an actual pirate if the game allows me to do the things pirates usually do (sailing, boarding other ships, naval battles, exploration, etc.) I will be satisfied.

It did happen with AC. Brotherhood was a bit meh and Revelations was a pretty solid snorefest. AC3 managed to get it back on track, so hopefully they don't go the same way B and R went.

To each his own, I didn't find Brotherhood or Revelations boring in the slightest. Revelations might even be my favourite game featuring Ezio.
 
I doubt they can milk AC yet, so long as they have history to re-enact then they should be able to get a decent story with it. I'm just afraid that pirates might kill the huge worlds that I love exploring, doubt there are many towers to climb on the sea.

But there should be plenty of masts to climb! :p
