Skull and bones

[Brutal biff]

Anyone seen the new announcement of skull and bones
Release date Nov 8th

Strange setup If you ask me can't leave ship only in safe haven ports

No boarding hand to hand fighting

 

[Tombstone]

Watched the recent gameplay reveal and was not at all impressed. Looked very basic and just a platform for kerching mtx

 

[Glanza]

Not for me after the gameplay they showed, who wants to play a pirate game where you can't board other ships or leave your ship to loot an island, things that Sea of Thieves has let people do for years.

 

[arknor]

it looks like a waste of time and money on the devs part

 

[swillsy]

Blag Flag looks better 100%, v disappointed by the trailer

 

[Grumps82]

Yeah looks pretty basic. Ubisoft on the downward slide for quite a while now.

 

[Mint8]

Looks like they spent too much on it to let it die but are just trying to cut their losses now by releasing a half finished game (again).

 

[agnes]

Craft, craft, craft, craft, build, build, build, build.... God I hate crafting and building games. I'm out

 

[goldy6660]

Game play looks reasonable just hope it improves and is better than black flag as it ought to be based on age

I saw a few comments on a video that said Ubisoft are obligated to release the game or they need to repay a lot of money to the Singapore government. Could be rubbish, but would explain why they keep pushing on with this game when it looks as bad as it does.
Ubisoft are just a joke now.

The frustrating thing is I quite enjoy some of their games, but they're very much reskinned iterations these days.

 

[ColdAsIce]

Delayed until 2024 lol!!!

 

[Glanza]

Only reason this hasn't been cancelled is due to the Singapore government financing part of it.

I loved Black Flag (well until I had to do the AC bits). I had high hopes, just take Black Flag, make it bigger and make it feel more like a living world where your actions impact the game world.

Now it seems that they've jumped the shark with crazy ship designs and weapons.

I just want a game where I can sail around and pretend to be a pirate. Is that really too much to ask? Apparently yes, yes it is.

Give Sea of Thieves a go.

Just lazy game design, where the gameplay is nothing more than busy work dressed up as fun.

[Devrij]

What we need is a better looking blackwake.

That was an awesome game when you had a good captain and crew. Sea of thieves is okay, granted, but with only 4 people on a ship it was a bit limited. Having 10s of guns firing on a broadside and people hustling ammo around and patching stuff up on that big scale was rad.

 

[wordy]

Open Beta this weekend, 8th - 11th on the Epic Store if anyone’s interested.

 

[apatia77]

Looks interesting if you want to be a pirate but not worth a full price for sure.

 

[wordy]

Yeah, not going to be a full price purchase. I know it's in Open Beta, but it's been run as a demo and at present the graphics aren't up there with a fifty quid game.
