What I really wanted from skull and bones was a pirate rpg, where I can make my own character, pick my ship and “plunder my measly black guts out.” Literally take the systems in black flag and refine it. The pirate fantasy was achieved, and they still found a way to mess that up! I do have hope for that remake tho… keep the game the same for the most part. Refine combat, add more customization options and I’d be happy. Skull and Bones better not be the last pirate game, cuz I NEED more.

It's sooo weird. Black Flag 2 would've easily made Ubisoft a Billion Dollars in revenue - it would've sold like hot cake. Skull & Bones will never break even. There is no way this shipwreck will make back 200M in development cost. I don't understand how this could get greenlit - it's a weird grind with no story where you can't even jump off ship - like in Black Flag. And the boarding maneuver is automatic and just a cutscene. WTF. So the only thing you do is upgrade the armor of your ship. And the cannons on board, which have different firing ranges and hit angles. That's kinda about it. You gotta feed your crew, bring in wood for repairs, but that's also not very interactive - you literally park your ship next to an island and wait till the wood comes in. You don't even cut down the tree yourself :D
@Bateluer
4 ай бұрын
@@DerDudelino I understand exactly how it was greenlit. Players loved the naval combat of Black Flag, and Ubisoft believed they could make a game featuring ONLY that aspect and make easy money. They forgot that it wasn't the naval combat nor the notoriously janky gameplay of the OldCreed games that made them popular, it was the narrative. The narrative arc of Edward Kenway was excellent. If you simply removed that from Black Flag, you'd be left with a broken, unplayable game. If you developed a game centered only around the singular gameplay mechanic of naval battles, sans any story or narrative, you're left with a boring forgettable experience. A pirate game, outside of the AC setting, could have been really compelling, but Ubi wanted a live service title not a narrative driven single player game. Ten years of development hell had S&B release well after the consumers had thoroughly soured on cash grab live service games.

Sure wish we could walk on our ship or visit cabin though, but honestly this "explore the forest off the ship" kinda thing is not that much missed.

I wouldn’t want a pirate game if I hadn’t played AC Blackflag. But after I played that game I definitely wanted more! So I obviously bought AC Rogue and loved it as well! When Skull and bones was announced I couldn’t wait! A pirate game from the studios that made an amazing pirate game without it really being one. I ended up not even buying skull and bones. I couldn’t and still can’t understand what they were thinking… I hate online service even though I love the concept. As far as I’ve played online service just means: “Here is our crappie mess but don’t worry it will get good!” “Well, we couldn’t possibly have calculated the bug-fixes we had to do… But it will get better later!/But we’ll fix the bugs later!” “I guess nobody likes this genre?” Had they given us a real pirate AC-ish game people would’ve loved it! I remember coming on the job (bartender) and someone whistling what shall we do with the drunken sailor from the kitchen… But they gave us something that makes me fear for the future of pirate games. Sigh… There was so much opportunity… If you’re gonna do online then Imagine being able to be part of the navy. Able to choose British, Dutch, Spanish etc. Hunt down other players/pirates. Defending other transports ships with tons of gold. Have different fighting styles to choose from bulky to nimble to Sparrow like. And of course add all black flag features. One of the most mind blowing features of Blackflag was the actual on board fighting to take the ship! The swashbuckling those things make the game. Maybe some day… maybe in a different dimension I don’t know…

Age of Sail/Pirate Republic games are few and far between. I am PC only games, so I have some options on Steam. I have about 5 games for that Genre on my Steam Wishlist. Right now, the two I play are Blood and Gold: Caribbean! (a fun Mount and Blade Warband mod), or Naval Action. Naval Action is a fun game, but sinking a ship can take 10 minutes, and there is no fast travel, so sailing across the map is time consuming. The Naval Action devs have a new Early Access coming out soon called Sea of Legends that takes Naval Action as an offline/RPG game. We will see if any of the 5 wishlist pirate games actually launch. The one with the best chance is Sea of Legends, since most of the development is ported from Naval Action.

So the big problem with the first season (ok, one of many big problems) is that it still didn't follow your chart. I did the grind for all of season 1. Even through being really frustrated with the game, I bought into the sunk cost fallacy and got to the point of maxing out my ship builds. The main boss fights against La Peste was doable, especially as some random people tended to join, but the final boss battle (called The Brutal Bastion) was still completely inaccessible - it was a raid style boss that required at least 6 max-level ships in a game that only allows you to team up in a group of 3. Your chart of how the grind *should* be is accurate, but even with hours upon hours of grinding to the max, that end goal was unreachable.

Live service basically means "content we can make via a single JSON file" And yeah, those statistics about "4 hours of total playtime for all players" really sounds like the marketing department trying desperately to scrounge anything positive to spin for the investors.

ANY PROGRAMS that call these functions at kernel level are affected, including your REAL anti virus program, programs that deal with security, as well as adding unknown effects to the programs running on your machine in the background.

There are so little pirate games. I think my favorite pirate-themed game is Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire, where you can become a pirate if you want.

Also I disagree about not being able to do pirate things in the beginning. I haven’t even started the main quest and already got The snow ship. Just from sailing around and raiding no story.

Pirates and their time period are vastly underutilized, both in terms of historical fiction AND just general vibes. I wish more fantasy RPGs would step outside of the medieval stasis idea and have their world enter the age of pike and shot. I wish Spelljammer took off as a major DnD setting. I wish Treasure Planet had spiraled into a massive franchise with AAA game releases. Sadly, we don't live in the world that gave Treasure Planet the love it deserved.

The comedic timing of my KZitem assigned ad break being for Skull and Bones is not lost on me. They must be more desperate for a player base than I thought.

20:29 no no no pls no man, not a linear pirate game! Linearity is the antithesis of pirate freedom, even old games like Sid Meire's Pirates were very open even if they didn't have an actual open world.

I don’t mind the grind in this game compared to elder scrolls online. Spent 8 hours in a dungeon for one item.

I honestly have to say, I actually like S&B. I didn't buy it when it released due to the bad reviews but then I noticed that they offered a free trial for the game, as in play the full game for 8 hours completely for free to see if you like it, so I did just that and liked it enough to buy it after those 8 initial hours and now I'm looking at 120 hours played so far.

I have never played a Pirate game, ever. The only thing remotely similar was the Pirates of the Caribbean World in Kingdom Hearts 3 lol. But it it sounds like an very interesting premise not gonna lie.

X100. Saying we never asked for skull and bones feels disingenuous. We asked for black flag without the assassin nonsense and were led to believe that skull and bones would scratch that itch.

once all these developers stop pushing realism and up the Whimsy Factor, maybe we'll get a new pirate game that actually feels like a swashbuckling magical adventure a la monkey island or pirates of the caribbean.

Played Skull and Bones but put it down since they made the manufacturing grind even worse. Since they had a very small percentage of the player base being able to produce crazy amounts. I am cool with it though don't plan on picking it back up again. Recently watched Black Sails on Netflix and got ei ol pirate itch lol. So, I went and downloaded a bunch of mods for AC4 Black Flag. I am currently sailing around as Jack Sparrow boarding ships and causing mayhem. Really reminded me how much they dropped the ball on Skull and Bones. Maybe in a few years they will hit the mark this time, but I guess we will see.

i want a red dead redemption alike pirate game, not like assassins creed black flag, just an open world with tons of interactive things to do, maybe add some monster hunter elements in it, do some bounty jobs, and most importantly, stick with the formula of the legend Sid Meier's Pirates!, where all the good stuffs for a pirate game must have!!! please developers, make this real!!!!!!

There was a pirate Flash game that is better than Skull and Bones, no lie. That flash game has melee combat that will reduce the crews as they take casualties. Cannons from enemy ships can kill of the crews, wrech your ship, wrecks the cannons so your damage output is decreased, wrecks the sails so mobility is gone. I don't think these mechanics are in Skull and Bones.
