Should I buy Assassin's Creed 4 or Battlefield 4?

You get more bang for your buck from BF4, so I say BF4.

@p3anut: I'm picking up Killzone also, but I wasn't sure if that was too many first person shooters, though they do play very different

Just pick which series/genre you like more? if it helps, BF4 is supposed to be $30 on black friday at gamestop (US)?

I'd go with Assassin's Creed IV but that's just my taste

i would take BF4 from 10 metric miles away. I ignored all AC titles, hate this shit so yeaaa

@lostrib: Shit, that would almost tempt me to get both ... lol ... although I am totally terrified of black friday sometimes because it's just plain madness.

Battlefield 4

The story and main story missions in AC4 were absolutely awful.

If you're not into multiplayer, get Ass Creed 4.

Well one's a complete rehash, and the other's Assassin's Creed IV.

I pre-ordered both! if you are looking for a great SP experience go with AC4, MP go with BF4.

You should get Knack to support Sony

I'd go with BF4.

If you don't know the answer to this question, then BF4, AC games have a stupid convoluted plot that you should probably play the previous games to get caught up on, each game assumes you've played and cared to remember the stupid plot and it basically involves some 2012 doomsday CME destruction of earth plot and some ambiguous references to the Illuminati and Masons and shit like that and something about an advanced race of aliens or something silly like that... with luck maybe they'll start making these stand alone games but I'm not holding my breath.

Battlefield 4, but you have to be a team player and willing to communicate with strangers (I'm assuming you don't have friends with BF4 or you wouldn't be asking), and you have to get people to work together with you to coordinate a strategy as a squad. And some people have comfort issues using their mic and speaking to people online, don't bother playing BF4 if you're one of those people; 'cause again communication is crucial.

Same. I'm playing ACIV right now and it's fantastic.

Comparing these two games is ridiculous. Your decision only need to rely on this single question: Do you want to play multiplayer, or do you want to play singleplayer? If you answer multiplayer, go for BF4, if singleplayer, go for AC IV.

@lamprey263: You don't need to have played the previous games to play AC IV. The convoluted mess of a modern plotline no longer plays a major role, and even that gets a fresh start here. AC IV's past story happens before AC III, so you don't need to have played that for the past story either. (The AC games prior to that have no connection to AC IV)

neither. buy resident evil 6.

Get Ass Creed 4

If you want MP get BF4, if you want a SP game get AC4. You know best yourself what you like or want to play...

BF4 is an MP only game (not really, but you might as well treat it like it is).

Also, avoid it on current gen if you can - it's awful on PS3/360.

AC4 if you're more SP focused.

@XxR3m1xInHDn3D: I actually am getting Knack. lol. I'm trying to narrow it down to three games I think. Killzone, Knack and then one more being BF4 or AC4. I haven't played any of AC4, but I enjoy AC2. I didn't know if AC4 was a lot better or not. I also was wondering if BF4 was basically BF3 with a facelift, which I guess isn't horrible. I definitely have more fun in there doing multiplayer than in the Killzone games (which I'm more getting for the campaign.)

@lamprey263:Nobody talks to anyone on Battlefield 3 for PS3. I've been playing that because I got it free from PS3 and have enjoyed that. I've been getting into AC also very recently because I got AC2 free for 360. I guess I know what to expect from both to some degree. I never really talk to anyone in any multiplayer game and I still manage to have fun.

I guess BF4 cuz it has online. But both not very good.

BF4. Are you talking next gen? Cause BF4 = 64 players online on PS4 and Xbox One. ACIV is just the same sh*t different day.

And BF4 is somehow not the same shit as BF3?

I don't know about anyone else but 64 players on a Console when it comes to a BF game is a big deal to me. I've played the PC version a little here and there but, frankly, it just never catches like gaming on a Console for me. So, no, it's not the same thing for me at least. I think a lot of console players feel the same. I have played ACIV. I can play ACIII and get near the same experience.

Ive never been a fan of assassins creed

Definitely not Battlefield.

Oh, right. Console versions of BF3 didn't have 64 player battles. As for AC III and AC IV, I can't personally comment since I haven't played AC IV, but the gameplay videos I've seen alone have things that AC III doesn't have. Even without playing, I can tell that saying AC III gives near the same experience as AC IV is just an ignorant statement.

Either way, none of that is relevant, since it all boils down to whether OP wants an SP game or an MP game. ACIV is SP focused, and BF4 is MP focused.

I'd go with Battlefield 4,never played a Assassins Creed game.

I am getting killzone and Ac4 don't want 2 games that are fps....plus my girl will be watching often and Ac4 she would rather watch

If you like all AC games then go with AC IV. Also I've heard it's almost as good as AC II and miles better than the shite that was AC III so that's good

If you like MP shooters then go with BF4 as it's one of the best around and the PS4 version is said to look just as good as the PC version while running at 60fps so that's a huge win for it

At the end of the day WE can't choose for you. It's all down to what you like more in your games, if you're getting Killzone SF for PS4 already then maybe go with AC IV for more variety? I have no idea

Quiet you.

Which do you prefer? Go with that one.

No, you.

Neither

Go play COD Ghosts noob

Battlefield is for noobs. CoD is for pros.

Assassin's Creed IV.
