Ubisoft: Making a Pirates Life for fans
Also Ubisoft: Ignores fans all the time
I am dissapointed because they promised a pirate fantasy and yet there is no on land combat, gambling, taverns, or recruiting that I would expect. AC doesn't have some features I mentioned so no that's not what I'm basing it off of. When I think of pirates I think of swordfighting and drinking, not only ship stuff
@@MaxRamos8yea your not a pirate, your a ship😂
Just bcs ppl Like u don't Like it and the devs don't make what u want doesn't .make IT what everyone wants. U want an ac 4 black flag online ? Lol then Go Play ac , facts are this wasn't meant to be an Ac Spin Off bs. So i really don't why ppl Like you that are so butthurt over have to hate on it. It's a great Game with Lots of stuff yet to come If only u wait and See how it unfolds... It's only Just come Out geez. If you tweedy twerps can't Deal with that then thats Ur Problem, Theres more than enough ppl that enjoy and Play the Game and are willing to watch IT grow. So Go have a Long hard cry about how u "keep being ignored"😂😂. I ain't surprised the devs don't listen to whiney demanding cry Babies If this IS the Kind of bs hate they get for making a Game that doesn't meet Ur narrow expectations.
@@MaxRamos8 did they promise that? I think they wanted to make a game that removes assassins creed from the title
@@1kulikI think we all need to agree Ubisoft needs to change rather than their games. I have no idea who their test audience was but I assume they are their own fans not us at this point.
One of the best examples in gaming history of being tone deaf and a missed opportunity for a game of the year title.
“Making a pirates life for fans” even tho I can’t sit down at a tavern, down some rum and start a brawl, I can’t duel someone with a flintlock and cutlass, the boarding is reduced to a quick animation rather than actually going on a ship like in black flag where you could literally swing from a rope onto the enemies vessel, and hunting for buried treasure and exploration is reduced to walking around and staring at ancient ruins without any interaction, no animals, enemies, obstacles to create tension, you just walk around. The naval combat in black flag was amazing and what they’ve done here and built upon from that game in terms of naval combat is also amazing, but that was only half the intrigue. I want to man a cannon or a swivel gun myself, carefully navigate ancient ruins, avoiding traps, running across rickety bridges, get drunk at a tavern and sing a shanty. Ubisoft you’ve only done half the shift
I hope devs read this
play sea of thieves then
@@creativityb2457they know its what most people think, they’re just finishing this game so they don’t get sued by Singapore
@@ciprisadthanks, I think I will! I was thinking about buying this game but you convinced me not to. To think Ubisoft almost made money out of me, now I’m just considered a loss of money for them and may be a piece of a larger group who won’t buy and why this game may shut down in the future. 👍
@@reddemon6668 buy sot on gamepass subscription and just play for 1 month, don't fully buy the game until you ve played it on game pass.
can u at least in the near future let us walk around on our ship or maybe the ship's deck to feel more immersed (out of combat)
Hopefully Ubisoft includes future features like atleast land combat but still the game looks incredible.🤔
It's things like this that really show the devs care. Like it may not have any actual impact on the gameplay, but boy would it be cool to be able to explore your ship during some downtime and see what your sailors are doing.
@@IRatchetI arent you able to see them in first person mode?
@@MarvinParker-tg8fk if I wanted to do land combat I would pick assassins creed. They literally said we are focusing on naval combat and people still cry about walking on deck and swordplays
@@1kulik Because that's what people want?
How have you guys not realized that just because Ubisoft wanted to make a Pirate Ship game majority of people wanted a Black Flag game without the whole Animus thing?
Even back then people were complaining about the whole "pirate ship fantasy" so you need to realize that those same people are still going to complain because this is not what they wanted.
How to make it a great game:
-Remove timed inputs
-let us move on the ship
-let us board big ships
-let the character use guns and melee weapons
-let us raid some settlements
-add pirate minigames like drinking or walk the plank to play with other players
-instead of collecting resources let us land on the island and collect it ourselves with the tools
-add something to explore on the islands, not just a settlement
-maybe let us hop on other people's ships and pilot them or climb to the crow's nest. Also let us shoot our personal firearm or swing our sword against enemies boarding the ship
That would require Ubisoft to be in touch with players.
So what you're saying is, we should pirate the game.
ARRRG
You are not funny.
@@astronotics531 I know, but this one was good
nahh a pirate game without physical combat? don’t even think about it.
Or just play the beta see if you like it....
Y'all think acting so edgy makes you cool.
In reality you're just parroting the hate wagon. Not the game we wanted but doesn't look terrible. Looks decent and might still be fun. So I'm willing to try out the FREE beta.
If the combat is as good as they’re hyping up, the map is a good size and there’s plenty to explore, plenty of different types of enemies/factions, plenty of customization, then I actually think this might not be half bad
I hope I can sail a man o war and bigger ships
season 2 I think they said@@rickastely996
I would love to but sadly i dont think the biggest ship will get will be 0:56
@@goldredwolf Damn that sucks can I at least sail a frigate?
@@rickastely996 dont fully know but the frigate will be non playable ship along side with the brig ship
All we want is sword and gun play. We don't want to just control a ship
Exactly, people want a more gritty, realistic version of sea of thieves, don’t understand why developers can’t read the room when they make games like these if they want a long lifespan live service game
Yeah, it is such a bizarre choice to have a swashbuckling game where you can't swashbuckle.
I will never understand it.
Who is we? lol. Go play sea of thieves
@@Vandy-tc3lj i play sea of thieves. I've also played blackflag. Most people want to be able to walk around the ship, engage in melee and gunplay outside the ship. Look at the comments on every video about Skull and bones, I am not the only one who wants this. This game was supposed to be the pirate game to top all others, and the fact that ubi had the perfect blueprint (AC Blackflag) and still have managed to scuff things is extremely sad. Also, adding the ability to walk around your ship and have melee combat is not a feature of just Sea of thieves, most games have this feature, and it is at the core of any pirate game. Skull and bones looks basically like a pirates version of war thunder without the planes. 90 percent of us were expecting the full pirate experience, not just a pirate ship simulator with some naval combat sprinkled on top.
@@HipManShagg yeah and those comments are the same people comparing a stealthy pirate RPG to a strictly ship based combat game. They aren’t comparable. This game is what it is and I had a chance to play it twice already and had an absolute blast. Those hating on it probably haven’t it played it yet themselves and have their expectations way too high thinking this is some kind of off shoot of Black Flag thinking it will have similar mechanics and ground combat. This game was never meant to have that
Honestly I'll give Skull and Bones a fair chance. Rather from my own opinion on this one and sing a pirate chanty or three playing this.
you guys don’t listen to community, we want sword fight !!!!!!!!!!!!!
100%
Its like asking for cars in a ship game
are we going to be able to own like a 3+ mast ship like for example man o war or something like that? or is it only 2 mast ships
For now it's just 2 masts, let's hope future seasons bring bigger ships
in season 2 they will add more ships so maybe
They need some expansion content for later on or they have to add submarines.
Can't wait to play the open beta tomorrow
today will be a long day lol
Be nice if you could explore islands and find treasure and fight enemy there.
Sea of Thieves
@@PhsykoOmenor black flags
thats the DLC 🤣
Is this the type of pirate game that fan need?
No
I was looking for something like this
Basically, AC Black Flag with cut features.
I hope there are some sea monsters in the game.
There are. At least one type that I have seen.
The developer confirmed there are sea monsters around 1.07 on the video
There are two major issues with skull & bones
first: It is impossible for a smaller ship / lower level ship to take down a player in a larger ship. Meaning that the biggest ship always wins no mather skill, equipment or anything.
Oh yes i do understand that a beginner ship should have a really difficult time sinking a brigantine for example, but yet the possibility still needs to exist if the smaller ship is just really good.
Secound: Very limited space to explore
Ofcourse the game has is still in development and in BETA for atleast another year, so much can come to change but at the moment these are the major issues.
Smaller details:
- Why is the ability to board a ship only possible with low HP ships, it should be avalible after cutting down a mast, the chance of getting a succsessfull board is lower the more HP the target has.
- I understand that just jumping of the ship at any giving time to board would not work, but it would be great if you could fight on the enemy ship while boarding.
- Give my character a voice!
Note: No there is litterally not many ways to play the game, Sink boats get better boats and sink more ships. That is the one and only way to progress.
Cmon ubisoft lets make this the pirate game for the modern age
I love pirates , been waiting on this game for ages now , glad its finally here.
Simp much
I loved a little pirate/ship action-rpg game called Windward - and quite a bit of SnB reminds me of a far more advanced version of that game - which, as far as I'm concerned, is nothing short of fantastic =)
I started playing the beta today and I must say, I've had a good time in the first 2 hours I've played. It looks great, sounds great and feels great. I play on PC, I have had no crashes, bugs, lag or anything like that in my 2 hours so far.
How do y'all counter the fact that we can't catch up to the fast ship even with a fast ship, since their max speed is the same and there is no way, currently, to make that encounter dynamic?
A feature not in the game, but that was in the 2018 gameplay, that should totally be in the game, is that different angles to the wind would yield more or less speed, all depending on the ship sails configuration.
Square sails? Top speed when sailing with the wind from the back.
Triangular or asymmetrical sails? Faster with wind on the boards, less speed lost when sailing in an angle closer to the wind.
Mix configuration? Somewhere in between.
@@ricardodemarco3486 How have they not added a pivot to the sails?
@@buggart I don’t think I understand your comment. Pivot? What do you mean?
@@ricardodemarco3486 Pirate ships can turn their sails at ang angle so that they won't be sailing against the wind. It's like flying a kite, where you angle your kite so that the wind is always under it.
@@buggart that would be just an aesthetic feature, the sails do already pivot a little but not that much.
I'm honestly just going going get this game, because it looks fun. I mean, it's the AC black flag naval combat system! It's awesome.
AC Black Flag had big guide shafts for aiming making it very easy. It isn't the same system.
@@Safetytrousers so here you have to learn to aim, why is that a bad thing?
I didn't say it was a bad thing. The BF system would be really silly in this game.@@basilismaster
@@Safetytrousersnot the same system no but an expanded version of that system
The ship combat is different. @@scottruch76
U know the one thing I hope for is the ability to create ur own jolly Roger
Or the black pearl
Anyone else noticed in the bigger ships have gun ports that aren’t being used.
All the ships do, even your first or second ship has 2 lower deck ports per side that are not used.
First time to see a cannons fire so quickly then modern gun
The fastest rate of fire of such a cannon (20 pounders or so) was close to 1 shot a minute, usually even more time.
You have to put out the residual burning blackpowder, remove it, put new blackpowder, ram it into the cannon, put ammunition, ram it too, clog a piece of cloth to prevent the ammunition to fall off the barrel, puncture the blackpowder sack inside the cannon or add more blackpowder as to ignite from the outside, pull the cannon into position, wait for the rest of the battery to end their own reloads, wait for the signal and then, only then, you can shoot again.
It is arcade reload, or this.
Yeah, if it were realistic, people would complain about that too. @@ricardodemarco3486
Love the details, even the bioluminescent waves
Please open the cultural ships like the Malay warships, southeastern ships and Aceh warships, there's a lot of potential in this
We have worked with community lmao
Kris Kirkpatrick from N’Sync!
We wanted to play as a pirate who had a ship, not play as a ship…
Can't wait so excited!! Already pre-order premium edition! Just waiting for beta now!
you know world of warships is out right now for free right? it's pretty much the same game except not wooden ships
Not better ship combat tho @mercthejerk8945
@mercthejerk8945 it has more to it than world of warships does, there is nothing wrong at all in doing a ship focused pirate game with no land combat🤷♂️
Do you pick up loot, search for buried treasure and have a pet in World of Warships?@@mercthejerk8945
@@cybrmaTSnaval action did it and nobody complains about what that game doesn't have
Ubisoft should look at Assassin’s Creed Black flag for notes on making a pirate game
Pirates? Hell yea I’ll give it a go! 🏴☠️
Pirate is more than just boats
Almost everyone has already unlocked the largest ship possible. Now I'm wondering what I'll do when I unlock the last few ships. What motivation I still have left. and then these limited time events, well. I thought that at some point we might have big ships, but there was no sign of it. There are really nice ships that unfortunately you can't build. It's a real shame I'm just not missing the last three.
The beta DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL THE SHIPS. So NO YOU HAVE NOT EVEN SCRATCHED THE SURFACE. Do you honestly believe that the would end the progression at just 4 ships???? You will be able to get a full galleon and battleships the beta doesn’t even include all the other ships in the large category just medium. Plus there’s still several more levels before kingpin and other areas that you can’t even explore until launch. Have patience that’s today’s gamers biggest problem yall will complain about nonsense and not take into account that this is only a PREVIEW AND A BETA NOT THE FINAL PRODUCT.
@@kusansimpson2514 I actually really like the game. In the interview you talk about small medium-sized and various other ships. Large ships are not mentioned. I really like it so far.
Under Jolly Roger by Running Wild is good entry to this game for the old people😃
I've been hyped about this since Black Flag, the game looks absolutely beautiful; but it's Ubisoft, so...
Black flag was also from Ubisoft.
So what? They showed that they care about their games a lot. Look at the Breakpoint now, it is probably the best open-world shooter. And Odyssey was a fking masterpiece. I love their naval combat games since Silent Hunter 1 :)
Having done the last beta it was enjoyable for about 4 of the six hours. After that it starts to drag as the game sends you out on longer and longer runs and you find less fast travels as you go.
It's a problem a lot of sailing games get into and I feel it didn't miss that pit fall. You end up getting a lot of sea time with not much out there, or worse you get a death donut. Where the game tells you sink ships for x loot and 10 ships spawn with the loot and just chase each other in a circle. As they are all the same faction you get lit up by all ten when you shoot one.
The funny thing is, the game tells you what you have to do for the next ship but you do not have to chase the given coordinates, you can easily get the same materials while freely roaming, raiding and pillaging elsewhere, or just simply sailing and get random floating loots. And it is a great bonus. And it is not supposed to be as ingleplayer experience either. More fun in the fleet with PVP questing.@@thrashjf83
When I get off work I'm gonna ty the beta and play through till I can't, then I'll make my own decision on if I'm gonna actually buy it or not. After what I've seen on reddit and some UA-cam videos I am kinda turned off from it but like I said I'll give it a try
You’ll find it fun, the gameplays isn’t bad, although it’s highly repetitive.
It’s not worth the price, but if you enjoy naval warfare games then you might find enjoyment in this, more so if you like the pirate theme dependent on your enjoyment of the naval gameplay type of games.
Lots of boring or mediocre mechanics like forts, grinding resources, boarding or finding treasure too. But if you can push passed those issues then you may want to buy the game. Otherwise, steer clear of this game until it lowers in price.
Jespere quont pourrais avoir de plus gros navires que des bricks
Can we board and fight?
Only ship battle
I hope this game reaches the set sales target.
i'm guessing we just getting small ships then, i see no huge ships with loads of cannons
Play atlas
grapple shots = tons of depth 💀
If anything, I will love my character more than the ships
Thanks for making a good game. Really having fun with this one!

Es el mmo del bergantín, sería uno de los mejores juegos de l década si el capitán nadara y peleara, que pudieses explorar la tierra y más dinámicas que no hace falta que yo diga,
"For fans"
More like, for doubloons
do we get our own hideout. I really felt this was kinda missing as we know in AC Black Flag we had our own hideout ?
We do get something like that. It's called a smuggler's den and you get it through an organization called the Helm. You have to be kingpin rank to access all the features though.
YAAAARGH ME HEARTIES, ARE YE READY TO PLUNDER THE SEVEN SEAS?!
there's no plundering in the game it's basically pirate themed world of warships team deathmatch
We yaaar!
@@mercthejerk8945 WE SHALL PLUNDER NONETHELESS!
@@SleepySatellite YAARR MATEY!
@@mercthejerk8945 Actually there is plundering, as a fat captain I do not need to lead my crew into battle, I stay on the boat :P

Its not pirate game just battleships(like world of tanks) in time when pirates existed.
Can I have devil frute
WoWs is pay to progress.
You buy a premium ship on level 8 to grind convertible experience to unlock boats. Trash game.. @@LarryWater
Exactly!
Is this game good? I like sea of thieves and thought about getting this
Open Beta from coming up from the 8th to 11th. Give it a try. Nothing to lose, its free.
@@insurrection8744 yeah you're right thanks for letting me know
its very different from sot
think of world of warships except all the boats are made of wood. your character is essentially just your ship there's no plundering, swordplay, looting, or basically any pirate stuff other than how your ship looks austheticly l. it's boat to boat team deathmatch
There is picking up loot from sunken or boarded ships, that's a core part of the game. And PvP is optional.@@mercthejerk8945
Its beautiful😍
Will sword combat every be introduced?
PSA: This is not a comparable game to the stealthy pirate RPG, AC: Black Flag.
"You're free to make your own Luck now"
Good one, Guys! 😂
Is it from ac rogue?
can we actually fight a KRAKEN as in a boss fight or something? cause that would be epic Lol 😋
Still would prefer something like Black Flag
cool
This just impressive graphics..in term of game mechanics Black Flag still ruled.
Is pvp forced or optional, imma progression kinda guy and take my time, can i just pass people that are stronger than me or can they ram me as they please?
Arr we are the Pirates. ☠️🏴☠️
Boarding enemy ship?
Y'all really priced this glorified forgotten/late below par DLC at $60 eh?
I miss Rainbow Six Vegas . .
I don't have friends who play video games online, so this is probably not the game for me.
This looks like ubisoft ‘s suicide squad experience. A game that should be singleplayer and had great potential turned into a multiplayer live service like…
Assassin’s Creed: Red Flag
I see you everywhere lmao
I wish they would just say this a pirate ship combat game and not pretend it’s a pirate sim/immersive rpg game
Is the ship combat that good? Good! Lean into it! I just feel like this a lot of marketing for a very nice looking very fancy version of Pirates: The Legend of Black Kat for the ps2 (which is a great game to be fair, but it is kinda old now lol)
THEY DID BUT THESE IDIOTS IN THE COMMUNITY KEEP WHINING ABOUT IT NOT BEING AC4 even though THEY LITERALLY SAID ITS A NAVAL PIRATE SIMULATOR MEANING THE GAME IS ABOUT NAVAL COMBAT AND EXPLOITATION. NOT A PIRATE SIMULATOR. Reading comprehension is so important I swear. People are just mad about something that they don’t even understand what it is they are supposed to be mad about.
Ubisoft are the pros in ignoring fans and the template an earlier game has given them and releasing a huge pile of nothing and wasting millions of dollars.
Splinter cell?
I definitely bought the skull and bones premium edition I enjoyed the closed beta back in December. I’m looking forward to the open beta this week February 8th-11th.🥂😎
Those mini-Linus's have some pc homework to do 🤣🤣
Ah yes, _Assassin's Creed Black Flag-_
Ubisoft! You messed up big time!
This game feels like it was created by an indie developer with 5 people!
I would be embarrassed by releasing this game!
I disagree. Indie developers with 5 people have made far better games than this.
There is no sword combat is it a ship simulator😢
Game needs land combat, pillaging mechanics on towns and fortresses where you actually get your crew out onto the land and loot the place, boarding mechanics like black flag too; this should make the game more immersive rather than playing minigames to loot or gather resources like the shitshow that was shown to us a few months back
IT REALLY DOES NOT! Because that’s not even the point of the game. It’s ALL ABOUT THE SHIPS NOT THE ACT OF PIRACY ITSELF. Plus you can’t even do that bs in black flag 🏴☠️ so I don’t know why are people still expecting that from this game. Eventually that’ll get tiresome and plus there’s no way to balance that in a server full of almost 40 players all pirating in real time. It’s an online multiplayer experience NOT a coop. If it was then that design would be possible but you can’t do that within the technical limitations of the games design it’s just impossible. It wouldn’t even be feasible for playability
Why don't people understand this? Nearly every complaint is about something that is not possible in a live service game.@@kusansimpson2514
Do we get to own and keep this game if we purchase it, Ubisoft? You know? Like The Crew?
That's how buying a game normally works. One day the servers will be turned off though.

amazing game can't wait to play

Is this a game where you secretly are an ship 😂
The only thing that i hate is thr game is expensive as fk make 55bucks 70wtf
hi..Ubisoft..Skull & Bones..👌👍👍👍👍👍.
They went full arcade with this game...BF has more realistic animations and no stupid numbers popping up....im sure you can turn that off, but idk still feels like a phone game

you cant even board the ship yourself? wack
shame to ubisoft
Is this gonna be on gamepass?
NO
Depends if it flops or not, so, probably lol
