Reminds me on how they had a single person (I think?) doing Batman’s cape for the Arkham games. That was their position, the person who makes the cape seem like a real piece of cloth.

I still think about how good the cape looked when flowing or in movement. They did an amazing job either way!

For Assassins Creed Black Flag they had an entire team of like 14 people just making sure the ocean looked pretty.

and then a decade later they did Skull and Bones and somehow it looks way way worse

That ocean looked amazing when the boat didn't load and there was hole in the ocean with some people and items floating above it.

That game was the best pirate game that nobody asked for, and it was a freaking Assassin’s Creed game! xD

All they had to do was remove all the bits that made it an Assassin's Creed game and it would've been perfect. But they did Skull & Bones instead. It's like they hate easy money.

Seriously! I think that’s true about most companies these days. They literally go the worst route possible 90% of the time.
