The extra A is for all the apathy
Yeah, I 'm waiting until it's free on Epic
Always another asset acquisition available. I count AAAAA
I played the beta for 20 minutes and was so disappointed I immediately launched sea of thieves to recover.
It just felt like a cash grab done as cheaply as possible.
There is a good game to be made out of this but it’s nuts that this is all they have to show for it given it doesn’t do pirating as well as Black Flag did….
All they needed to do was make a Black Flag type game with more pirating stuff to do. That's it.
People forget, but Ubisoft had the same reputation 10 years ago they have today. Even 10 years ago the prediction was this game was gonna be ass. Delay delay delay, people have played Sea of Thieves to death and are onto new things, THEN Ubi drops a lacklustre beta where you can't even get out of your ship. Yup. Sounds about right.
People wanted more black flag and ubisoft was like: got it, let's make black flag as bad as possible
It’s a fantastic game covered up by bad choices.
I don’t need to get out of my ship, but maybe you could let me direct my crew on how they attack. Let me arm my crew differently. Let me change my crew as an item. Let me hire individual crew members as “items”.
To me it seems like a “we gotta get SOMETHING out the door” scenario and they made a “cohesive” game out of what was finished and hope that it lives long enough to add the other stuff.
I found myself wanting to log on last night which shocked me, the setting and ship combat definitely works for me. I wish there was more but sea of thieves didn’t do it for me.
It’s like they took Black Flag and said “everyone wants a Sid Meier pirates remake … let’s try that” but they didn’t give us dancing or ship boarding.
There is so much potential and it’s wild that they seem to have created the “core” but it’s taken them this long to get there.
AAAA gaming, folks. This is what a real AAAA-quality game looks like.
Give us a Black Flag remake you cowards.
Better yet, if someone just makes a Nvidia RTXRemixflexremasterDLSSqwertyuiop mod for the damn game we could drop Ubisoft altogether.
We need someone to get rid of mouse acceleration and 60 FPS lock.
The tutorial was shit but I played the beta for 12ish hours. Had no intention of playing it but it ended up being super fun. Won't buy it, not worth the 70€ price tag. Got ubi+ for a month, should be enough. It was a pleasant surprise.
Ten years of development for this?
The ONE time people wanted Ubisoft to just reskin one of their games (Black Flag) they instead chase live service money while having WAY less features than a 10 year old game.
Skull and bones frustrates me.
I downloaded it but then it wanted me to sign up with Ubisoft. No thanks.
So they really did copy Sea of Thieves. 🤔
Or is it even worse than that was on launch?
I think it was decent. I'd maybe pay 50€ for it
Meh, matey is worse than I was hoping for but better than I expected
