  "account": "After a prolonged Caribbean conflict, justice has been served in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced. The contentious blowpipe, once a constant feature of Edward's attire, is now an optional accessory. Ubisoft has listened to player feedback and released a patch that allows gamers to hide the blowpipe from Edward's back by accessing the outfit section in the inventory and selecting R2 for the 'Hide Gear' option. Conversely, those who prefer to keep the blowpipe visible have that choice as well. The patch, weighing in at 1.8 to 3.7 GB, also includes other improvements such as double the number of autosaves, fixes for broken tutorials and DLC notifications, and the ability to toggle Edward's hood during leap of faith maneuvers. Gameplay enhancements include fixes for various issues related to enemy AI, quest markers, and naval battles, alongside improvements to visual effects and sound quality. Localization errors have also been corrected across platforms, ensuring a more cohesive experience for international players.",
