Went on a trip to the Bahamas IRL a week ago. Came back and played a little AC: Black Flag for comparison. Conclusion: They didn't make the beaches nice enough in the game. In reality, the beaches on the Bahams are really almost a pure white, due to all the aragonite in their sand. As a result, the sea is almost an unbelievable turquoise color. In the game, the sand is still too yellow. Looks like the devs didn't dare go all the way. Probably afraid to be accused of overdoing it a little.
As always, they did a good job on using the local legendary characters like Hornigold, Thatch and Rogers for the game though.
Maybe they could not get the white colour right or maybe in game it looked to bright/bad?
I remember the water in the game and for it's time was stunning.

I hope the buildings have improved.
Not sure if you can call towering hotels an improvement. I imagine the plumbing is undeniably better though.

And then they made the beaches way too white in AC Odyssey when the real Greek ones are more yellow (I just came back from another vacation at Greece. Malaka!!!).
I went on a beach vacation too in May, what's up with that. LOL
It was Denmark and the sand was very white and felt soooo nice. Last time I was at a beach was 2018 (?) in California. Denmark has them beat especially off season. Barely any people there and the dunes are gorgeous. Granted, the Big Sur cliffs are cooler but in terms of beach quality and peace and quiet, I highly recommend Denmark in May.
Yeah got nothing to say about Assassin's Creed. Just wanted to chime in about beaches, haha.
