You know, a pirate video game should be the easiest thing in the world to make. Let a person command a ship, go around, board and raid other ships, maybe search for treasure and attack towns, maybe throw in some monsters in the ocean.
What confuses me is that there are no competitors, Ubisoft could've taken their time recreating the same thrills from a decade old game...instead, they just call it AAAA 😑
@skinnyweeny2178 which is why I'm surprised they didn't just also sell themselves to Microsoft like Activision or Bethesda did. Those two are morally and artistically bankrupt....what the hell does Ubisoft have left?
It's full of competent and passionate people, but managed by mediocre people only looking at excel sheets wondering how can they milk their customers, not making great games.@skinnyweeny2178
My favorite fun fact about this game is that as far as we can tell, no one at Ubisoft knew if you played as a pirate, or if you played as the boat, in this game, up until a little over a year ago. What you’d think would be one of the core design pillars of this pirate game, was seemingly not decided on for over a decade of its development.
Conceptually this game is great lmao. As for the reality of it? Sounds like actual torture. An incomplete boat sim but two mechanics. One day maybe we'll get a Sea of Thieves x ACIV, AC: Rogue.
Ubisoft be like: - "Let's add health bars, loot, and damage numbers because RPGs are popular (Skyrim and Witcher 3)" - "Let's add stamina bar because ARPGs are popular (Dark Souls) - "Let's add battle passes and cosmetics because those are popular (Fortnite)
Yea, I didn't know the wind runs out of.....wind I guess. I could see if they're rowing but stamina and sails make it make sense, cause I can't do it any more.
Skull and Bones is certainly one of the games ever made. The characters are in it and the dialogue is spoken with normality. The devlopers are absolutely developers and the gameplay is probably one the the gameplay ever made. It's certainly a game that exists. I'll rate it a /10.
As someone who absolutely loves ship and boat based games, and naval stuff in general, literally the only ship weapons in this game that feel like actual broadside cannon fire are the short range shotgun-esque cannons. I paid for this game like a FOOL, and now it sits in my game library MOCKING me. I'm going to go play some Helldivers 2 now.

At least your face being tired makes sense. Andromeda was okay it mainly just LOOKED like crap. This looks like the equivalent of watching a really cool painting dry
What really drives me up a wall over this is a similar thing with the Saints Row Reboot. Both companies had a previous game that showed what people liked and wanted to build off of (Saints Row 2 and Assassin's Creed: Black Flag), and they mangled it beyond recognition anyway by doing crap no one wanted or asked for.
The difference here is Ubisoft didn't have a choice and had to eventually release this no matter the quality, thanks to legal obligations to the Singapore government.
I always want to be in the development meetings at these companies. Is there someone there whose job it is to actively do the opposite of what they hear fans say they want? Like does some near jet researcher come in and go ok the fans really like the naval battles, boarding ships, exploring islands, the big seemless world, and the customization, then an exec is kike "ok so let's get rid of all that stuff and expand on the parts nobody liked"
Anyone remember the _real_ pirate games? I'm talking Sid Meier's Pirates (2004) and Pirates of the Caribbean (2003). Sure, Black Flag may have fantastic modern ship combat but those games really let you cut loose. Man, I've got to play those games again.
@@kendallfrederickson6841 Funnily enough, I actually completed the full story by accident. It was spaced out by over seven or eight years of on-again off-again sandboxing. Commandeering _Belette_ to be the flagship of my Grand Fleet really made the latter half of my playthrough worth every moment.
Last time I checked, the Pirates! remake was only available for the Mac (on one of which I used it to play, but don’t have anymore). That was a great game. Only bad thing was the useless spyglass, bc it couldn’t look further than the edge of the screen
In a game about pirates, who mind you were everything that narrator was describing lol. Bro acting like pirates were morally good and high standing but they literally exploited the trade routes by plundering and killing anyone that had a ship with goods lol.

You know what is even worse? It's worse than Kingdom hearts 3 ship combat, wich is a side activity. But that got both the cycle weapons right but also had boarding, land exploration and diving sequences. It was worse than a JRPG that let you play pirate for 2 to 4 ours before moving on to other stuff.
All we needed was a next gen Assassins Creed 4 but no Assassins. Ubi is already used to having no Assassins in their games anyway, how was it not a slam dunk?
One of my friends is such a Ubisoft shill. He kept trying to get me to buy this game, but I refused. He swears up and down that it's an unsung masterpiece, like all Ubisoft games... he's already preordered the most expensive version of Assassin's Creed Shadows, as well.
I won't lie I'm a total shill myself but it's only for the far cry games not a single one I hated a bad farcry is still better than an "ok" assassin's creed
The fact that most of its gameplay loop catered more to being a pirate than to being an assassin to begin with (story themes fit the franchise to a tee though), and they spent ten years making this thing that has less of both...
Your UA-cam channel is absolutely amazing! The content you create is both entertaining and informative,The production quality, creativity, and passion you put into your videos are evident in every frame. keeping me hooked with every video.

They could have just updated graphics on Black flag, add more mmo elements and monetize the crap out of selling you sea shanties you could play on the ship ingame.
Ubisoft Writers (who want to work at Sweet Baby Inc): 16th century trading companies ruthlessly exploited native populations. Players who want to be pirates: Based, more loot for me to plunder (too bad this game is barnacle butts)
It is a consulting company that is all about making games sensitive for modern audiences, making POC inserts, and making characters ugly (model and writing)

Sly 3 let you board ships after you brought their masts down. That game took less than a year to make on the PS2. In 2005. For a game that was about thieving.
Yes,there was a "remake" in 2004 but it was rather downscaled. Honestly,if they werent so buggy and/or crashy and/or impossible to get running these days I would rather point towards one of the countless spritual successors like Cutthroats or the Sea Dog series.

Holy shit, back in 2013 when I played Black Flag and the games of that time I couldn't fathom 11 years later I would thank the gods they were made in a time where our society wasn't a rotten shell of its former shelf. This isn't even nostalgia how the fuck did we get here!?!?
The 2016 election.......... that's how...... a corrupt money glutton despot gets elected and every corrupt money glutton despot gets empowered to make everything worse so their money vaults get bigger
The 80's Version still has more going for it then this thing though. It, the Later Pirates! and Black Flag all did what they could, just so this could swanton bomb onto a concrete floor.
The stamina bar on the ship is what killed me from continuing playing... both black flag and Rouge.... had no ship stamina or stamina in general besides my own
Pirate Warriors 3 and 4 still hold up even to this day because they don't have extremely shitty ass game mechanics that Black Flag and Skull & Bones has, and they still make me feel more like a pirate than Black Flag and Skull & Bones does@@skylerstapleton8468.
This video was a real return to roots. Giving Ubishit a good kicking for uninventing the wheel really takes me back to the good old days of the channel and makes me pine for better times. Back when games had the stones to say. "Will it be sophisticated: Maybe, will it be fun: Abso-damn-lutely." Now the games blend together so much with universal tropes, gimmicks and cash shops, not to mention. BUDGET CUTS. That when playing I can hardly feel a difference between franchises, much less studios. But this place is a shinning beacon in a budgetless age. Thank you Pimp.
its kinda sad bc u can bet ur ass if they actually had at least 2 braincells throughout the entire company they wouldve done that the devs nowadays are so shit they are too stupid to steal ur money wich is hilarious
You could, granted it just lead to a fight with the enemy captain but it was more then a damn cutscene that's for sure. You could do all sorts of stuff in the 87 version you couldn't do in Skull and bones.
6:42 Suprised there is no golden cannon man that’s even further str down from black flag even in black flag there was the elite cannons which literally turned you cannons into gold and man those are grindy to get but so satisfying to get!
I 100% approve of this message. How is a quadruple (AAAA) game worse than a game that came out over 10yrs ago? They spent 11 yrs making this travesty, replaying black flag would be a better use of your time. This is absolutely NOT the Pirate game we have all been waiting for
Ubisoft be like: "Pirates were noble outlaws, fighting the good fight against insanely rich mega corporations. Now rent our game at full price, that we can take away whenever it is no longer profitable to maintain"
I'm calling it now. Suicide Squad boosted the player numbers of Arkham Knight, to the same level (on Steam) on a 9 year old game. Shit and Scam will boost the player numbers of Black Flag, as people just boot up that game which they got on a sale at some time and never installed.
One good thing has come out of this >> The pirate subject reminded me that I never played the DLC from Black Flag, so I downloaded the DLC and I’m enjoying playing it again.
I recently picked up ac4 black flag on sale for 10 dollars. Played it a long time ago when it came out. It holds up surprisingly well and is still fun and immersive little pirate sandbox. Makes me sad to see the state of games these days.

All we needed was a next gen Assassins Creed 4 but no Assassins.
Ubi is already used to having no Assassins in their games anyway, how was it not a slam dunk?
Just make Sid Meier's Pirates but with Black Flag mechanics.
@@GeraltofRivia22 original Sid Meier's Pirates was such a great game... Akela games were also great, better than this bs today.
That sounds like Sea of Thieves go play that
Valhalla had assassins…I distinctly remember killing two of them.
One of my friends is such a Ubisoft shill. He kept trying to get me to buy this game, but I refused. He swears up and down that it's an unsung masterpiece, like all Ubisoft games... he's already preordered the most expensive version of Assassin's Creed Shadows, as well.
Try to sell him Better Help lol!
I won't lie I'm a total shill myself but it's only for the far cry games not a single one I hated a bad farcry is still better than an "ok" assassin's creed
lets hope Tencent buys Ubifot and cancels all the woke crap since the chinese want to make money
Can you imagine a ship full of Lady Pirates pulling up at you yelling at you with their squeaky voice😂😂😂😂
Now imagine they're also Cockney
Fleek Hanson is every predatory game developers worst nightmare
It's so hilarious Ubisoft devs made one too good AC game and it haunts them to this day
The fact that most of its gameplay loop catered more to being a pirate than to being an assassin to begin with (story themes fit the franchise to a tee though), and they spent ten years making this thing that has less of both...
Black flags multiplayer servers are still alive!
Last time I was this early Edward Kenway was still a Buccanneer

Your UA-cam channel is absolutely amazing! The content you create is both entertaining and informative,The production quality, creativity, and passion you put into your videos are evident in every frame. keeping me hooked with every video. Keep up the fantastic work, you're doing a fantastic job! 😊👍
now that you finished this game you can now have your pallet cleansed by helldivers.
Boarding being nothing more than text telling you it was successful is comedy gold.
They could have just updated graphics on Black flag, add more mmo elements and monetize the crap out of selling you sea shanties you could play on the ship ingame.
Yeah...and saved themselves about 7 years, and a hundred million bucks 😂
At 5:53 there is gold coins floating? The perfect display of the mental capacity of this game creators and player base.
Took me 7 months to finally realize where I recognized the thumbnail from. Good one Mr. Fleek.
THE SEA SHANTIES ARE GONE HOW CAN THIS BE
Leave her, @natedostalik3538, leave her.
they are there they are the same tones as Black Flag
You can tell your crew to sing/stop singing shanties at will though
skull and bones feels like a mobile game
Ubisoft Writers (who want to work at Sweet Baby Inc): 16th century trading companies ruthlessly exploited native populations.
Players who want to be pirates: Based, more loot for me to plunder (too bad this game is barnacle butts)
Mate WTF is Sweet baby inc?
It is a consulting company that is all about making games sensitive for modern audiences, making POC inserts, and making characters ugly (model and writing)
The woke DEI company ran by black women who hate white people, and force gay into scripts they write. They are the reason Rocksteady is going out of business after Suicide squad.@@tddNando
@@tddNando How about you ask the question to google and get the answer instantly rather than ask it there buddy?

"DID I AAAAAASK YOU A QUESTION BOY?!"
also whats triggers me the most.....WHY CAN CANNOS TURN ALMOST 180° IN BLACK FLAG U HAD TO TURN UR SHIP TO FIRE CORRECTLY
Huh. I got an ad for Skull and Bones before this video even started. What an wonderful coincidence.
Hmmm pay 70$ for a half assed pirate game or pay 40$ for Sea of Thieves
Or pay like 10 for blackflag on sale
Thieves part is right they still haven’t fixed the GAME BREAKING fatal error bug not letting you play the game (known bug since beta)
Or just pirate the pirates and pay 0$
I'll just use that 70$ and use it buy both AC Black Flag with the Adevale DLC and with AC Rogue
Or go over to GoG and buy a real man´s pirate game.
I played the beta; it looks and feels like it hasn't been updated since it was originally announced. True development hell.

Against the chad "I simply enjoy theft"
Sly 3 let you board ships after you brought their masts down.
That game took less than a year to make on the PS2. In 2005. For a game that was about thieving.
I have a strange feeling that Sid Meier's Pirates! will give me more fun. and was released in 1987 ....
Wasn't there another version from like, 2003?
Yes,there was a "remake" in 2004 but it was rather downscaled.
Honestly,if they werent so buggy and/or crashy and/or impossible to get running these days I would rather point towards one of the countless spritual successors like Cutthroats or the Sea Dog series.
@@paloim Yes they remade it around that time it was good too.
@@AISlopTheatre didn't know it was on consoles, pretty cool ngl
@@johnarnold7984 I know it was good, that was my childhood bro
Wish I still had it, ain't getting the one on steam because apparently sid meier games on steam have some sus stuff going on with them, or at least had, either way I ain't giving a single cent to em there
Get that space nam vid out quick. We're getting cooked on that damn planet we need more men.
Holy shit, back in 2013 when I played Black Flag and the games of that time I couldn't fathom 11 years later I would thank the gods they were made in a time where our society wasn't a rotten shell of its former shelf. This isn't even nostalgia how the fuck did we get here!?!?

6:03 fleek be roasting the game and himself. Quality content
Glad to see the Fleek Cinematic Universe getting confirmed at the end of the video.
I'd love to see a review of my childhood pirate game, Sid Meiers Pirates!, it walked so black flag could run.
The 2000s version, not the 80s version
The 80's Version still has more going for it then this thing though.
It, the Later Pirates! and Black Flag all did what they could, just so this could swanton bomb onto a concrete floor.
I played the EGA ver of that, good entertainment
@@NEEDbacon Pimpmasta Fleek can do a review of both. He's just that pimpin
The stamina bar on the ship is what killed me from continuing playing... both black flag and Rouge.... had no ship stamina or stamina in general besides my own
They gota sell those stamina boosts in the cash shop.
Think pirates didn't have to eat?
It looks like they wanted to ship it on mobiles as well. What a disgrace. XD
Adding stamina managment for brasing/sprinting adds another layer of skill to manage people are just dumbos there is nothing wrong with it
Pirate Warriors 3 and 4 still hold up even to this day because they don't have extremely shitty ass game mechanics that Black Flag and Skull & Bones has, and they still make me feel more like a pirate than Black Flag and Skull & Bones does@@skylerstapleton8468.
Skull & Bones: An over abundance of female pirates that never existed.
The writing and deliverance of your reviews are among the best and funniest I have come across. Thank you so much for your work 😂
This video was a real return to roots. Giving Ubishit a good kicking for uninventing the wheel really takes me back to the good old days of the channel and makes me pine for better times. Back when games had the stones to say. "Will it be sophisticated: Maybe, will it be fun: Abso-damn-lutely." Now the games blend together so much with universal tropes, gimmicks and cash shops, not to mention. BUDGET CUTS. That when playing I can hardly feel a difference between franchises, much less studios. But this place is a shinning beacon in a budgetless age. Thank you Pimp.
Let’s at least give Ubisoft some credit for not thinking of the idea of adding the Jackdaw as a pre-order bonus
its kinda sad bc u can bet ur ass if they actually had at least 2 braincells throughout the entire company they wouldve done that the devs nowadays are so shit they are too stupid to steal ur money wich is hilarious
@@miceatah9359 oh 100%
Even in Sid Meier's Pirates You could board the enemy ship, in the 2004 edition, I don't know about the 1987 edition, I'm not that old!
You could have your own goddamn fleet in that game! Canoe boarding spam forevah!
You could, granted it just lead to a fight with the enemy captain but it was more then a damn cutscene that's for sure. You could do all sorts of stuff in the 87 version you couldn't do in Skull and bones.
6:42 Suprised there is no golden cannon man that’s even further str down from black flag even in black flag there was the elite cannons which literally turned you cannons into gold and man those are grindy to get but so satisfying to get!
Somehow manages to be worse than Sea of Thieves at launch, truly outstanding.
Shout out to Sid Meier's Pirates, the best pirate game before the best pirate game.
Skull included in base game and bones sold separately in a AAAA battlepass
🤣🤣
Oh boy that thumbnail brings good old memories...if you know you know.
I don't know, tell me
Damn good mammaries...
@@victorfontes8395 it's from "Pirates 2" a porn movie from like 15 years ago, which apparently is the most expensive XXX movie ever
@@victorfontes8395Canonical sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean, called "Pirates."
its unfair 0:30 in and I'm dead on the floor...you are the best writer in the world
Love the fact that the ad that played before this video started was for skull and bones lol
This is just the start of AAAA games and they will all be of equal quality, let's get excited
No Bonny character in Skull and Bones is a huge Budget cut. Can't wait to dicover more budget cuts in this game.
can't wait for your Helldivers 2 vid. It's the perfect game for your commentary.
No one is defending this game
I 100% approve of this message. How is a quadruple (AAAA) game worse than a game that came out over 10yrs ago? They spent 11 yrs making this travesty, replaying black flag would be a better use of your time. This is absolutely NOT the Pirate game we have all been waiting for
All this video has done is convince me to play Black Flag again.
The fact that that a skull and bones add popped when I clicked this video is delightfully ironic
I for one cannot fucking wait for someone to make a full song featuring The Purple Cannon beat XD
Man I am trying to forget about this movie and fleekazoid is forcing me to remember it again and again.
Ubisoft be like: "Pirates were noble outlaws, fighting the good fight against insanely rich mega corporations. Now rent our game at full price, that we can take away whenever it is no longer profitable to maintain"
I'm calling it now. Suicide Squad boosted the player numbers of Arkham Knight, to the same level (on Steam) on a 9 year old game.
Shit and Scam will boost the player numbers of Black Flag, as people just boot up that game which they got on a sale at some time and never installed.
I could buy a pack of cigars and get more satisfaction out of that than I ever would out of the entirety of this AAAA game.
Ah the movie "Pirates", a cinematic masterpiece.
Starring jesse jane, janine lindmulder, etc
Sold in real life blockbusters apparently it won a bunch of awards didnt see it on any oscar list so i must be blind
Gotta respect the pimp who remembers classic with Jesse Jane and Evan Stone 😂
One good thing has come out of this >> The pirate subject reminded me that I never played the DLC from Black Flag, so I downloaded the DLC and I’m enjoying playing it again.
I recently picked up ac4 black flag on sale for 10 dollars. Played it a long time ago when it came out. It holds up surprisingly well and is still fun and immersive little pirate sandbox. Makes me sad to see the state of games these days.
