I played for a few hours in one day and uninstalled the next...All you do is sail around the map collecting things and do sea combat. There is nothing to it but, sea combat and go into small camps. There is no land combat, the only thing I see as comparable to the Black Flag is the ship combat. It's just a glorified sea combat game. Don't expect this game to be like Assassins Creed Blag Flag, if you need storylines with land and sea combat.
