The best pirate game ever made 

the timing of the guy getting launched into the roof of the ship and edward saying christ the seas are rough was fantastic

Petition for Kevin to do a full play-through of Black Flag

So I can't be alone in saying I would totally watch a full playthrough of this from Kevin, right?

It probably gets overlooked a lot, but I really appreciate you putting in the extra bit of effort to muffle your vocals whenever the character you're playing as is underwater. It's a really nice touch

Honestly the best thing about Black Flag is the exploration and the tropical settings. There are always something to do when you visit islands using the Jackdaw while listening to sea shanties about leaving your dearest and fighting ghost ships.

I love how quickly kevin caught on to the selfishness of the protagonist

I like how Kevin consistently calls Stede Bonnet, one of the greatest pirates in that era, "the merchant".

Black Flag is my absolute favorite Assassin's Creed game. The gameplay, the shanties, the story, it's just top tier. I played it for hours on end on my younger days. That music from the main menu alone was enough to give me goosebumps. Edit: If you keep playing the game, do keep in mind that when there's that "Y" icon on enemy ships, you gotta hold Y rather than mash it.

It always feels a bit surreal to watch Kevin play games that I really loved when I was younger

AC4 is amazing, and although I know it won't happen, it would be so much fun to see Kevin play the rest of the game!

Kevin is truly, a true pirate genius!

Black flag is my go to game when the sadness happens just sailing the seas and listening to shanties takes me back to happy times

Ahh.. Kevin finally found his true calling in life. He's certainly the best pirate I've NEVER heard of.

Fun fact, Kevin... That wasn't a tutorial! In the official rules of checkers, you must take pieces when you have the option, both to prevent stalemates and to allow you to force your opponent to take into a bad trade like that.

I feel like if Kevin ever was in a timeline where pirates still exist, he would become one solely to say "give me your booty"

I’d love for Kevo to keep playing this game, or maybe stream it sometime? I think this game and streaming could potentially bring back the vibes of the old Pirates of the Caribbean streams, and they were golden!!

Ah, yes. If someone was going to be a worse pirate than Stede Bonnet, it would be Kevin

YES. There is nothing better than sailing the high seas as your crew sings lowlands away and then you attack a galleon, boarding and defeating the crew and taking the ship for your own

The fact that the first assassination mission you picked up has you kill the same Monkey Island reference that Geralt of Rivia had to take on in an insult duel really does make this the greatest pirate game ever.

Black Flag is honestly the best AC game. Shame the multiplayer isn't very active anymore, it was exceptional

If you play more of this game then you should grab those magically glowing flying pages so you can force your conscripts to sing shanties for you.

The timing is INSANE! Literally one hour ago I finished Black Flag and NOW you posted a video about it?! All hail Capt. Kevin!

Kevin's "underwater voice" is STILL making me laugh 🤣

"Those who are familiar with my content are probably like 'we're gonna die, right?' " Kevin knows how we feel about his ways

I know this channel isn't really a let's play thing but I'd be totally down for this to be a series. Black Flag is a masterpiece

This is still my favorite assassins creed, that might be because it was the first I ever played

Please play this more Kevin! It really is a fantastic game! I got into it when I found it when I was unpacking after moving recently and I've been playing it a lot and I got so excited at the thumbnail seeing you playing this game 😂

I remember spending hours on this game ignoring the main quest and just going whaling. Best part of the game imo.

Kevin loving the pirate lifestyle really explains the recurring themes in his other videos. It's the Deep Lore.

Kevin is the type of person to have people trapped in the basement of a ship

i'm just obsessed with how any time kevin's underwater in a game the voice gets subtly edited to sound a bit muffled. such a simple yet super effective tactic and idk that i've ever seen any one else mention it 😭

man jack sparrow is looking different here, I think a movie on this pirate fella played by Kevin would be Hollywood's next big hit. Amazing video dude 👏

I like how Kevin did a video on Black Flag some years ago and when been told to use smoke bomb he accidentally threw conins both times.

I'm glad to see Kevin play a game in the Assassin's creed series, I used to really love it. In Black Flag in particular ,I played so much, that I became the richest player in my region (according to in game statistics).

I have very fond memories of this game, my husband and I played it together when we first met. Please play more, but skip ahead to where you have your own island and just sail around to conquer big ships, send out your fleat and all the good stuff.

One of my all time favorite games, such a great story and the gameplay itself is a pure joy.. Oh and don't even get me started in the perfect sea shanties. Great video as always Kevin, the Sea will never recover. :')

I found it surprising that no one brought up the fact that KEVIN is playing ASSASINS CREED, one of the best games ever in my opinion and one of my favorite RU-vidrs, he has been playing all of my favorite games so far I feel blessed

This is literally my favourite game of all time. I started my 15th play through of it yesterday so I’m scared.

I cannot explain how happy you playing this game has made me. Nice to see a Pirate Genius play this game.

hi kevin, i know this will probably be left in the sea of comments but i just want to thank you for the positive impact you've had on my life. ive struggled with chronic depression my whole life and constantly felt a sense of emptiness, but your videos have helped me fill a gap, and at times, genuinely saved my life. i dont think id be here today if it werent for your content so thank you for always putting in effort for us.

I have finished Black Flag once back in 2017. I started playing it again just to feel the virtual caribbean again in 2024. I am still playing it. This time I am exploring EVERYTHING the game has to offer - the assassin contracts, the naval missions, the diving bell missions, the treasure maps, the mayan puzzles, everything. Black Flag is my favourite AC game and seeing Kevin play it made me click on it immediately.

Please do a full playthrough of this game. Honestly would make amazing content

This was so fun to watch!! Captain Kevi is the best pirate I've ever seen 💖 I used to play loads of assassin's creed when I was younger and it was so nice to see Kevin play this, would love to see this become a series. I loved the editing too!

Kevin having an aneurysm while the game makes him take the opponent's piece in checkers is gold 😂😂😂 I guess Anna and her chess ways rub off on him too much, so he forgot that in checkers you MUST take if you have a chance to do so 😆

Love the love for black flag. Was one of the best ACs imo and the side content was hella fun especially ship battles and upgrades. The only game of the open world type that I truly 100%-ed all of the collectible and side stuff because it was all super fun. Atmosphere, characters, badassery of being a ninja pirate, it had it all.

Can't wait to watch Kevin, you never disappoint with great videos, been here a while also. Keep up the great videos, but worry about yourself more then us

You ought to try AC: Rogue. I’ve never played it myself but I know it’s a lot like this one in regards to gameplay. It definitely didn’t get the love or recognition as Black Flag, but it’s supposed to be pretty good!It has a remaster too I believe! Take care! Loved the video hahaha

I love this game, would be awesome if you wanted to play more and make it a series!

13:13 that's not the tutorial forcing you Kevin, it's just the real rules of checkers. I know most people don't play like that but if you can capture a piece then you MUST capture a piece with the real checkers' rules. So forcing your opponent to capture one of your pieces so that you can capture two is a legitimate strategy.

One of the hidden gems of this game is the fact that you can use most of the special moves right from the start, so long as you knew how to do them

It is basically canon that the quartermaster guy is far better at everything than the protagonist

Remember people-who-haven't-completed-black-flag-yet: If someone says they completed the game and they still have Adewale has a quarter master, they did not complete the game.

Not only is Kevin a military genius, he's also a pirate genius?!

actually in checkers official rules you HAVE to attack when you can. I learnt that from a checker club that had open afternoons for children and I was volunteering to help

Of course the first friendly person you run into is the Gentleman Pirate.

2:06 We love to hear the 009 Soundsystem

It's weird when you stumble upon someone whose tastes are so sheltered, they'd consider an Assassin's Creed game the "best" anything.

This is my favorite game ever made and my favorite RU-vid gamer is playing it… what a time to be alive

7:09 I come here one year later just to tell you that I find it hilarious that Kevin played that game 3 years ago and accidentally threw coin on the ground, and then he played that game two year after that and did the exact same thing in the exact same place. Fabulous.

BTW hold down Y when the little target appears on enemy ships to deal severe damage to weakpoints. Loved the video

i just came back from four hours of fighting a massive fire near my (10x12 blocks big) town, worsened by the drought my country's going thru and the fact that fire fighters could do very little due to lack of water. im coughing and covered in splinters, and I'm pretty sure as soon as I calm down I'm gonna have a little stress cry about this. But I got home and I found Kevin had uploaded today, so things could be going worse. Thanks Kev, your timing has been impeccable.

This was really fun to watch, please play more!!!

Edward Kenway should've had a trilogy: Black Flag works perfectly as an introduction game, showing how Edward became an assasin... But, then what? I always thought his story could have had more developement 😞

I was literally just watching Tobuscus' literal trailer for this game again. Perfect timing

ong when kevin post my day just gets 2x better

Kevin tapping Y instead of holding it bugs me but I'm so glad kevin played this. It was hilarious and awesome

That bar fight would've been a lot harder if Kevin hadn't interrupted their fusion dance.

13:50 made me cackle. I love these callbacks.

Love to see one of my favourite youtubers playing a game from my favourite series. Kevin if there's one game in the series I think you'd have a lot of fun with it would be Assassin's Creed Syndicate, you get to start a gang in London, nuff said.

Please play more of this! This was probably one of my favorite videos you've ever done.You're the best Kevin :)

Kevin needs to make a series out of this! This is so good!

Kevin not knowing that checkers is a force-take game bugged me

That isn't a soundboard. Kevin just loves his squeaky toy.

I love how it's either "Why are you helping this dude, what did he ever do for you?" or "Oh, I'm just selfish", no in between.

I think about the stuff you say at work and it makes me look crazy. The other night, I fell asleep watching one of your old vids and my wife woke me up laughing to something you said. Thanks Kevin.

People are talking about the underwater effect, which IS great --but the one that gets me is the squeaky toy noise when someone gets hit/falls

Catching a stream of you playing this for a few hours would be funny as hell. Best ship combat of any pirate game if you use the speed like a car, gas and brake.

When Kevin mentioned Pirates Of The Caribbean, it reminded me of a few years back, when I played one of the games on PS2 with my boomer dad. He was so useless at it, that when we had to attack enemies, he ended up attacking bushes instead lol

I saw "The best pirate game ever made" and said "Sweet! A Black Flag video."

Pirates of Caribbean mmo is criminally underrated and had to walk so Black Flag, Sea of Thieves, and everything else could run.

10:52 "oh wait no, my finger gun is loaded!" Best pirate quote

@18:59 "Christ, the seas are uneasy today!" That got me.😆

Just wanna say thanks to Kevin and his uploads and personality. As someone who's incredibly lonely, his uploads and content really help even for the 30/45 mins. Thanks Kevin!!

24:43 You seem to be confusing quarter-master and captain. The QM keeps track of money, making sure everyone gets paid and follows the code of the ship, making sure all jobs are accounted for, noting any damages to the ship, making sure everyone always has clean water and food, and generally being the guy who keeps the ship running. The captain is the guy in front of the wheel, leading everyone to make sure the ship moves forward, and also takes charge in battle, telling everyone how and where to fight in the midst of it. The captain is just another part of the crew, if the crew doesn't like the captain, they can actually elect a new one (the only time this can't happen is during battle, can't have any in-fighting during that) while the quarter-master can't really be replaced, his job is too important and difficult. I'd say he works best as a QM, and your character would work best as a captain. In fact, the example you gave is exactly what the quartermaster would be doing lol. Think of it like this 25:36

1:04 This stranding scene brings me back to The Sims 2 - Castaway for the PS2 😂

whoever that put some Shadow of the Colossus over Black Flag, just perfect and I love you

The amount of foolish shit you can get up to in Black Flag is astounding and makes an already great game even better (such as jumping off your ship, boarding the enemy ship outside of combat, disposing of the crew, and then instantly winning the fight when you board them with your ship as their crew is gone)

4:33 "That happened" -Mom

Shadow of the Colossus music was a nice touch. Great video ❤️

Kevin not holding Y to hit them with the swivels gave me physical pain.

10:25 now I wanna play Overwatch with Kevin, I can imagine he's that Doomfist player who spams "And they say and they say and they say" throughout the whole match xD

Watching you play this makes me look at Odyessy and wonder "why is this so shallow when they have Black Flag to copy?"

You are without a doubt the best checkers-playing pirate I've ever heard of.

15:52: "GOTCHA!!!" Kevin shouted in triumph after accidentally Air Assassinating the Sage. "Oh- HAHAHAHAHA!! Maybe I'm to good at this game!"

Kevin if you see this. Hold down Y when the prompt shows up. I think you might've just been spamming it when instead you have to hold it down to fire that

got whiplash with the Stede Bonet guy and forgot that he was a real dude and not a gay pirate from a show

This game was actually so fun - until every time you got thrown into the present to walk around an office.

I like how Kevin thought it was bending his arm to make him play but that was just part of the normal checkers rule

Why is nobody talking about the running reference to AppNana? 😭 I love that little detail!
