10 Video Game Features Literally No One Asked For

2. Office Segments: Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag was a worthy addition to the franchise, giving players control of Edward Kenway as he helped to usher in the Golden Age of Piracy.

Black Flag was almost exactly the game that many fans had hoped it would be. By taking the fan-favourite naval mission mechanics from Assassin's Creed 3 and elaborating on them to create a game in which you could use your own ship to explore the Caribbean, it ensured that it would be a success both in terms of gameplay and story. After all, who doesn't want to be a pirate?

The problem wasn't with its tropical setting or its swashbuckling story, but instead with the game's modern day segments.

Whereas the first titles in the series offered an interesting insight into how the past influenced the present, Black Flag instead presented us an opportunity to wander around an office and fiddle with our colleagues' computers.

With all due respect, Ubisoft, not one person in the history of the world has ever genuinely asked for an office simulator.

Just let us get back to raising the mainsails and firing the cannons, please.
