Skull and bones closed beta

Anyone else playing this these last couple of days?
I'm quite enjoying it, it's lacking any kind of sword or gunplay from you or your crew, but the ship combat is fun and had a great sense of atmosphere, stunning graphics and the sea shanties set the mood

Watched some of radbrads video last night and was not impressed by the ship combat, the canons are like rail guns.

(you can tell he is being paid for this video)

When you are playing they are not accurate and each canon type is different, long barrel, stubby, shrapnel etc, for sails , hull or crew damage so you have to aim while up and down in the waves and fired on. It's satisfying enough

Wow they really did just take the ship part of AC Black Flag and made another game with it.

It's far more in-depth, but it's similar, black flag were made up ships, this has 20+ real ones

DOA

I think you'll find it's alive on arrival

I had high hopes for this game. But it is lacking sword fights and normal gunplay. Seems only ship combat. I'm disappointed

I do agree there, in black flag jumping off your ship to climb up on the enemies and pull their captain into the sea was a joy, and then killing the crew.

You also can't capture ships and make them your own. But. The game as it is, is still good, it's just not what people really wanted
