Skull and Bones - 15 Things You Should Know BEFORE BUYING
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 тра 2024
- Almost seven years since its official announcement, Skull and Bones is finally launching on February 16th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC. It's not too late for another delay, but the naval combat/pirate fantasy title is seemingly on track.
Offering multiple regions across the vast ocean to explore, Skull and Bones sees players interacting with the kingpins of the pirating world and building up their reputation to become a legend.
Completing contracts, like ambushing convoys and transporting materials, are a few methods to achieve this, and as your Infamy rises, you gain access to new ships, weapons and more. Here's what you should know about Skull and Bones before its (current) worldwide release, from its differing price on consoles vs. PC to the post-launch plans. - Ігри
February 16 for $70 or wait till March 16 for $30.
wait till march this game not worth 70 bucks
considering the step down in overall quality in almost every new title i think when the new consoles launched the price should have dropped by 10 instead of increasing by 10
30 bucks are waaaay too much.
So yeah on the Xbox the $105 version is Feb 13th and the $70 version Feb 16th. Not sure where march came from.
@@granthammond6406 I think he's making the joke than in one month, the game will have bombed so much that it will go on sale
The game designers took the subject way too seriously.
Being a pirate should be stupid fun. You should be able to board ships, drop kick enemies overboard, swing from the mast, make people walk the plank, sword fight, suplex enemies, blow up your own ship kamikaze style to take enemies down with you. Get drunk, sing songs, gamble, etc.
stupid fun!!!
I think Ubisoft only focused on the one aspect that pirates do. Taking your money! in my mister crabs voice lol
bars@@K09819
All that sounds x10 more exciting than this. This will be a game that loses support within 6 months.
you basically describe Sea of Thieves
Yup and instead we got privateer simulator
They literally could have taken Black flag and just added a bit more shit types and customization and it would have sold through the roof. They didn’t need to try and reinvent the wheel here
And it feels like they tried to remake it as a square wheel😂
Imagine a game which is fully copy paste from their previous game and it takes 8 years+120 million dollars💀
Was 11 years total and they had to finish because of money or something they got from the Singapore government. This games going to be dead and forgotten within a year.@@Actracadabra
@Got-2B-Said well sg govt like to waste money on failed projects like this. hopefully someone high up play the beta and claw the investment back.
Also they removed free roaming, hand to hand combat, etc... yeah, And added extra 50$ to The price
The fact that they ask full price for this shit is truly a Ubisoft moment
It's definitely one of the games of all time.
I'm having fun with it. So I'll buy
Why can’t people rate games appropriately? Something is either the best thing of existence or pure shit. So many people worked with enthusiasm for years on such games just for someone saying it’s garbage, when it’s clearly not. No one has to like everything, but that doesn’t make it the worst thing in existence
@@Seitenwerk I rate games for what they are and since they even gave us the chance to play the open beta i can say it is indeed garbage.
@@Seitenwerk You're right, here is an appropriate assessment, this game looks/feels/plays like $20 game made by a small indie team, except its not, its a $70 game made by one of the largest gaming studios on the planet and labelled AAAA by their brain dead company.
If it wasn't for the outright scams of some game developers in the last 2 years, this game would go down as probably the most embarrassing thing a multi billion $ company has ever put out.....
I've tried the beta. It feels like the game is just a part of something bigger... but it's not. You're just sailing, shooting, collecting and upgrading, rinse and repeat. It's satisfying but not for too long.
I’ve also been playing and agree. You can already see that the “end game” is going to be grinding season passes for cosmetics and upgrading your weapons. The gameplay loop is a bit to repetitive
@@TinMan445 It just sounds like a worse version of AC: Black Flag at this point.
@@99mage99it's so stupid. They already have boats in AC , they already have multiplayer . They implemented that in AC revolutions. So why not improve on that , rebrand and skull and bones and call it day. They already did this with farcry and splinter cell whom both use the AC stealth game mechanics
@@anthonygordon9483
Different studios, different engines
Skull and bones is made by Ubisoft Singapore, meanwhile the Ac games with sailing were made by Ubisoft Quebec and Ubisoft Montreal on the anvil next engine, Skull and bones used a different anvil engine.
As someone else who got the chance to play the beta... Just don't. It is exactly that. Perfect summary! After a few hours I was like:
That's it? Yes. That's it. It does not invent something. It does not do something really really good. It is just okay. And This is fun for like 2-3 hours. That's it. Not more. And then you think: Something is missing. This just has to be a part of something bigger. But no. It is not.
Don't fall into this Ubisoft trap again. I won't.
The only one you need to hear - *You can't walk around your ship, nor can you jump off and swim in search for treasure.*
that really really really bothers me. plus, the fact that you cant jump at all or move around freely also pisses me offf
So assassin creed game was better 10 ys ago
@@westdoze hell yah, this is state of gaming right now. its all about money
It's more of a navel battle game with a pirate theme. It's about the boat and sailing, not about the pirate and moving around on foot.
@pvt.reefer6163
Well they can keep it.. not even worth my time let alone my money 💀
Ubisoft should have just built off of Black Flag and turned that into a pirate series.
agreed. Black Flag was actually fun.
My second favorite assassin's creed game next to origins
Exactly an open world game, as a pirate with charm and swagger, crazy violence and explosions. Treasure hunting and a good story and adventure would be truly great.
Pirates Creed
The sad part is is that this started out as a online expansion for blackflag. What went wrong along the way ill never know.
The best way to obtain enemy ship cargo is through a cutscene folks… a CUTSCENE
As opposed to a loot animation? This is a ship looter shooter at the end of the day.
@@krisiscove I get it , you’re totally okay with Ubisofts mediocrity. Which is why this game is exactly for people like you. 🤣 enjoy ! 🤡
@@krisiscove yeah ship looting arcade game lol can’t even be a simulator cause you can’t even board the ships 😂
@@JehBasquiat hey hey hey, it is a sailing sim, don't "sale" them short.
@@krisiscove Get Out
They could’ve added the ability to at least walk around the damn ship like it feels like you’re only a ship
Exactly
It like having a cake you can’t have bro they did it in black flag so y go backwards…
I play so many naval games that are like this, it is not THAT big a deal you can't walk around the ship or do boarding, the game can still be fun, which it is.
@@Ethan-fz6tp very nice, all the way to the heel without triggering the gag reflex, impressive bootlicking.
@@Ethan-fz6tpcuck
No sword combat, no walking around your own ship on the water…… you’re literally just a boat 😑
Because that's the genre. The game is in a genre that has been sorely lacking in games and based of Sid Meirs pirates. It's supposed to be only a ship
I play so many naval games that are like this, it is not THAT big a deal you can't walk around the ship or do boarding, the game can still be fun, which it is.
@@Ethan-fz6tp No. not when it was marketed as Black Flag without the assassins creed story 😂😂😂 far from anything black flag did successfully. Black Flag even looks better, has more of a grittiness real life feel to it, this shxt is a fortnite boat simulator 😂😂😂😂😂
@@genultz4866 and, well, AC: Black Flag, which this is explictly based on.
@andreasottohansen7338 its not in the same universe, the only thing it has from that universe is the music. Nowhere does it say it's based off AC. It's in a genre on its own that has nothing to do with AC. If it was I wouldn't enjoy it as much as I do.
No sword fighting on land and stuff? seem pretty hollow to me
Swashbuckling could be patched in; in the future. They know to do it. I'd agree though, Deadfire had great pirate action.
It's a naval combat simulator. The gameplay didnt really change all that substantially since the 2018 showcases. Yet people keep comparing the game to things like black flag, which the project moved away from ages ago, or want it to be things it (currently) is not. The gameplay is actually very enjoyable imho. The carrot and the stick work well too. My only concern is the amount of content. Like, what do i spend time on after aquiring all the ships (which seems kinda fast'ish), and is that "content" timegated then?
@@Yamyatostbh Skull and Bones makes Sea of Thieves looks better than this game.
@@jamesvarela233 And chess is better than both of them. Are we done yet comparing games that dont even share the same niche?
@@Yamyatos with that idk why you’re trying to defend this game man you said it yourself voluntarily that this game, isn’t exactly a renovation towards the pirate genre of games.
Skull and Bones is basically Looter shooter game but ship.
So many mechanic feel arcadey.
Lets compare it to Sid Meier Pirates 2004 games.
Skull and Bones only has ship management while Sid Meier Pirates has ship management, crew management, land exploration for treasure, Dueling, Faction Diplomacy, Fame, Romance and Retirement system
'Before' buying? Did you mean 'instead of buying'?
Looks like the quality of a game that has that one mission where u drive a boat. I expect so much more.
AC Odyssey ship combat was lady chefs kiss. Sparta kicking soldiers into shark infested water was fun before sinking them.
That/black flag is what I expected…not a pita line up to board…CUTSCENE
As an enthusiastic player and lover of pirate genres, I was captivated when I discovered Skull and Bones. The game offers stunning graphics that immediately immerse me in the world of pirates. The variety of ships and customization options fascinated me and allowed me to create my own unique pirate.
The gameplay mechanics are smooth and intuitive, making it easy to dive into naval battles and engage in epic duels. The strategic decisions, whether to fight, plunder, or team up with friends, keep the game exciting and diverse.
What impressed me the most is the variety of game modes and features. Whether I go on a solo plunder, team up with other pirates to raid rival ships, or simply gather resources for new weapons and upgrades, there is always something new to discover and experience.
I'm already looking forward to diving back into the world of Skull and Bones and experiencing even more high-seas adventures. This game is a must-play for anyone looking to get lost in a thrilling and action-packed pirate adventure. 🏴☠️
Seriously. The UA-camrs are on the "hate wagon" and the sheep are following. I didn't know anything about this game until I saw it was in open beta. I decided to try it since Diablo 4 season 3 is a boring mess. Absolutely fell in love, and bought the premium edition for early access. I'm now kingpin 3, with a lvl 11 brigantine and working on my Empire until S1 drops.
All Ubisoft had to do was give us Black Flag + For Honor with amazing character creation/customization and they would've had one of the best Pirate games in gaming history.
For Honor mixed with Black Flag actually sounds horrific.
For Honor is such a trash game, I would know I did play it for a good while before there were dedicated servers and after and the connectivity issues, not registering parries, dodges and attacks, to buffing light attacks to the point they were literally impossible to parry for months.
Keep these trash ideas to yourself man, jeeeeeez
I agree YnBreezey12.
The lost me at the hand to hand battles being a cutscene…
I mean black flag had the foundation made for them and yet all we get is boat fights and no sword fights or taking over the enemies ship like in black flag!! Wtf BRO we dont even get our own village like valhalla gave us... thats all we want..the black flag pirate aspect of the game mixed with the build your own town of pirates like in valhalla!! I mean damn its not that hard lol
Yeah.. you would have expected a major upgrade 10+ years later but it feels like a downgrade on all levels. How could they mess this one up when they have such a solid foundation?
How about you stop comparing it something you want the game to be then, which is clearly is not. I dont get why people act so surprised either, when the core gameplay mechanics didnt change all that drastically since 2018 or so.
@@Yamyatos when they first announced rhis game they devs made the comparison for us so idk what your talking about lol you can clearly see the inspiration black flag gave this game,the entire blueprint is all black flag,even the different ammo type lol
@@edwingarcia02151 Yes, back in 2014 or so, it was intended to be multiplayer black flag. That's the origin, alright. And it's been a decade. It hasnt been mentioned to be anything black flag related or shown to be anything more than it is since .. well years. Tho i agree that publishers and developers should in general wait to announce games. If they released this game as is, people woulod like it. However many people (wrongly so) went ito this with expectations of it being coser to black flag in gameplay, due to how it was first announced, even if that was changed long ago.
@@Yamyatos yeah your right! I agree but thats the expectation that they engraved onto me,i dint follow the development closely so idk the changes they made until i saw this video but well see,i hope it does well but i have low expectations,ima still play it though
It’s weird how they also rank ship sizes as ‘small’ and ‘medium’ but there is no ‘big’ ship, which is really the only reason I would buy this game. I want one of those big ass ships with 3-4 decks full of canons like in AC black flag. You were only able to play with one of those ships for like 1-2 missions.
I thoroughly enjoyed the beta. Considering buying it
Yea me too
Thats why we get lazy downgraded games these days, Gratz
@@Caelumization did you play it or jumping on bandwagon? Cause the graphics are nice, combat is fun , mini games could use work. Customizationis fine , should improve going forward. Map is rather large, enjoyed plundering with randomes on the sea. Will the game last for years maybe not, but imma enjoy it regardless
@@watchmen617 Yes i have tried it, Its very downgraded from AC black flag except from graphics. Im not gonna pay 80 euros for a pirate game that has half the things from black flag in gameplay, in 2024.
@@Caelumization didn't know it was a black flag remake... Regardless get use to 70$ games, it's the norm going forward
Yeah this looks like it's gonna be a disaster, no sword fights on land, no taking over enemy ships and a massive focus on online and paid for extras....I think I'll wait a few months and see what the HONEST no shilled reviews are for it lol
You can test it yourself for free this weekend in the open beta. Full game, but limited in max rank you can reach (just before the first larger ships).
It's quite fun, im just unsure of how much content there is.
@@Yamyatos On all platforms? I'm on PS5. If that's so then I'm down with that, I used to love getting free demo disks with the Amiga magazines back in the day that let you try a game before deciding whether to buy it or not. I've been stung too many times buying games I look forward to, only to be really disappointed with it or it's been released borderline broken. I'll go have a look on the PS store now and try it if it's on there. Cheers for the heads up Yam' :)
@@billyrattlesticks6949 Sorry, cant say anything about that. I play on pc. It's basically promoted directly in Ubisoft Connect. I have no idea how, if at all, demos / betas are handled on consoles. The last console i owned was a PS2 i think^^ But looking into it doesnt hurt, maybe that's a thing too!
Edit: I was also really glad to be able to free-test it. It's fun. But considering how much fun i usually get out of 10-40 buck indie games, im a bit worried about the amount of replayability / content in the game, given the full price tag. Would be a sure buy for me around the 30-40 mark tho.
This is just world of warships with pirate shops, And 70$ Price tag💀
I’m gunna wait on this one tbh once it’s at least 50% off can’t expect much from Ubisoft now a days
Find it weird the cannons can shoot at any angle.
Feels like a DLC of some other game with more humanly interactions.
- Loading screens for everything
- Load times/slowing stuff down for everything
- No Human interactions
Not gonna buy until 10 euro
I am enjoying skull and bones, the beta. But they need to lower the price a bit.
This is a fair criticism. I am enjoying the game too, quite a bit, but the price is too high ngl.
both you idiots are gonna buy it at 70 anyways
Hey mate, just wait and this dogshit of a wannabe pirate ship game will be on sale 2 weeks later!
Its not even close to being as bad as people are saying. It is comments like this that just melt my brain. I had some fantastic moments in the beta and to go as far as to label the game this way is mind numbing for me. Some of you have just been sipping way too much hater sweat in your high chairs.@@Aceuchiha. If someone doesn't like the game, so be it, but to claim it is dogshit is extreme. You can just say it isn't for you. You know there are artists who painstakingly designed the ships and towns and worked on the ocean and weather. There are people designing whole supply and demand systems for the game and all of that culminating in someone "dogshit" comment really is too much when clearly some of us are enjoying it and it is at least good enough to be viewed as a serviceable game, and to some of us, an absolute blast.
I'll just wait till xbox has another sale on ubisoft games, they do that often, last time I got ac valhalla with 50% off. Will do the same with this game
I think its worth 40, maybe 50, but what I will say is the game is fantastic. I really really like it. When you get deeper it reaaaally opens up and it stays fun. Idk, it got waaay to much hate, imo. I picked it up cuz I really like it. I don't think the people who gave it a shot rated it fairly and I think many have been passing judgement without even touching it. It has excellent immersion. Excellent combat. The world is gorgeous. The sailing is interactive. There is a looot to do and its genuinely awesome. Random ships call for aid and theres a few dynamic quests tied to that, escorts, repairs, etc. Theres a manufactory that allows you to make goods and ship them around for profit. You have to gather, then refine, then craft. It has deep ship customization and decent cosmetics for your captain. Map is a good size. The storms are truly epic, I mean really, you are missing out if you like sailing and you don't experience them. The only complaint I have is that it is arcadey, but hey, its still fun and im having a blast. Nothing like working with an islander pirate to help ship her ghanjah and get a fat rogue wave in the middle of someone attacking you that you escape by 5 meters and it crushes your pursuer right behind you. Epic.
But its not what people wanted, we wanted a pirate game not a ship game
Guys remember, Their is no love put on this game, Ubisoft was force to finished this game because they sign a contract with Singaporean government.
No sword fights
I love watching videos like this after I already impulse bought the thing
not too late to refund, or try the open beta thats live right now and see how you like it
Ur not alone
Bro wasted 70 dollars on this
Get a refund it will be half off a month after release
@@sheredderflow2267 i impulse bought it cuz the open beta was fire
World of warships/warthunder but with pirates. Thats LITERALLY all this video needed to say. it looks okay, but its like every other new game thats been getting released.
This reminds me of the Star Wars Battlefront remake. No conquest mode. No boarding and sword fighting the enemy. You gutted the best part. I know it's not a surprise and all.. atleast the true naval sim players will enjoy this, probably. They deserve a win. Maybe one day we'll get a pirate rpg or something of that nature. Maybe this will inspire it. Here's hoping. I'm sure there will be plenty of pirate themed games to come.
Can i own and Upgrade more than 1 Ship and switch between them whenever i like?
Yes. All ships that you get built you keep. Some are better at different roles too, like some are better for DPS, others are tank based and such but I don't know how much that matters.
@@BeardifulBill different ships have different skills and such, plus some of the larger ships cannot reach certain areas cos they cannot go down some of the rivers
Free to play by june AAAA
I love pirates and pirate games like Sid Meiers pirates, but this doesn’t excite me for some reason. Im excited for Caribbean Legend coming out February 15th but free sandbox mode on the 13th!
Man am I getting The Day Before vibes from this one
I mean I’ve been having a pretty fun time with the beta yall….
as long as you are having fun with it that's all that matters. People crapped on Diablo 4 but I had a blast playing it.
Hope to see you on the high seas in the main game!
Imagine it would be more fun if you could you know get in sword fights (half of pirate stuff)
@@bensmith6868 You say that and yet I am seasoned day one Sea of Thieves player, that's a pirate game.
A pirate game in which the other player "pirates" will literally scream and shout abuse at you for sinking them and stealing their loot.
A pirate game that has sword fights and all of that goodness and yet the majority of players will literally fucking cry if you do engage them in combat.
Sword combat is literally irrelevant in a pirate game with a heavy focus on naval combat.
@@that.goofy.fellow9728 the entire point of being a pirate is jumping aboard somone else’s ship and stealing their shit you can’t do that
I know it's primarily a naval combat game, but I am shocked at how bad the characters look. Just scrap the land stuff altogether, cut the price by maybe $20 and you might have a product worth your time.
This looks like a flashy version of Sea Dogs without all the things that made Sea Dogs amazing
I’m not big on pirates or Ubisoft games, but the graphics do look crisp. Great job on that
What a huge fxcking let down. I was way to excited for this game.
Didn’t really know much about this game then saw the open beta was available yesterday. It seemed interesting for the first hour or so. I was waiting to see what the sword combat was gonna be like, then I realised there’s no sword fighting. I immediately closed app and deleted. Why provide half of the pirate experience.
I don't like that you can't walk around but my favorite part of black flag was upgrading my ship and the navel battles. There is always room for improvement but I think the game is off to a very good start
Enjoying the beta. But will definitely buy it when it goes on sale like end of summer or fall 😅
How are any of the games mentioned at the beginning considered vaporware if they’re all available right now lol
He even basically defined vaporware, then named 3 released games that aren't vaporware. I don't get it
Played for 10 minutes, then a shark roared at me. That was enough.
Your loss, this open beta is hella fun
@@adrianpena800 oh boy so much fun!!! I cant even think about doing anything else....Boring repetitive missions. fetch this to build that. Now fetch some are and repeat repeat! Boring game.
@@adrianpena800 it was boring. Glad they let us play beta so I don't need to waste time with refund
Thought I'd give it the benefit of the doubt and played the Beta. Honestly I'll get more out of replaying Black Flag (again) than I will this game. I mean it has a few cool things that I enjoyed about it like the customisation of your ships BUT it's not enough for me to spend £70 on it. Maybe when its cheaper
This game is for me. Fun, relax af. and not too grindy or competitive. super fun and hilarious with a full squad!
I'll buy it, but not at $60 or $70. I'll wait until it goes on sale; by then, they should have all of the bugs and glitches fixed that every new game has at launch.
Tbh betas pretty stable, not had any weird glitches or such and have been very much enjoying the game
I saw a little island and just like Black Flag was curious.. I wanted to dock my ship and explore, but nope. It’s either hold button to teleport to a social hub or press a button to play a QTE to harvest a plant. Embarrassing, lacking so much depth. This shoulda been a mobile game. They’ve fallen short of a standard they set themselves.
its okay i play it but damned its like 10mins a sandman comes in to put dust in my eyes to sleep mode
This game was completely built around skins to buy
There is a free open beta out on ps5 now... Honestly it is boring as hell. After the first 10 minutes I thought I would go explore some of the question mark signs on the map... they were so dull and uncreative. Add to that, that when you get on or off your ship it goes to a black cut screen. There isn't even an animation of your character jumping off and docking. Oh, and you cant even swim... Its like they saw how popular Black Flag was and thought, "50% ship combat = fun. 50% hopping onto other ships and fighting and exploring islands and sea on foot = fun. Lets just do the first bit."
I tried on PC but the graphics weren’t great on my machine.. was like ok that’s fine, it’ll look great on PS5. I think it looked worse?
It isn’t free: you need PS+ to play even the beta.
@@Kameleonicand you need Xbox live to play it on Xbox are you serious this has been a thing with any open beta dude?
100%. Ps5 on fidelity looks good but nothing special. One performance it looks like a ps3 game@@foggyvhs8790
It took 10 years to create a game that feels like a mobile game. 🤭
You can tell there's a review embargo on this game. When "Things you should know" includes things like "It might storm at sea", I doubt anyone is allowed to officially say anything negative until the official release day.
If you’re wondering, the price difference PC and consul always have a price difference and consoles usually the jacked up price
This game is amazing and fun as shit and just gets better with every friend you have with you. It deserves none of the hate it's getting just because it's not a sequel to black flag. Nearly perfect naval survival game
So all you can do in this game is ship combat ? They spent 120 million dollars on what was ONLY a feature in AC black flag and they think people want and will buy this with a battle pass and added dlc ? Are they out their ever loving minds at ubisoft ?😂
I played the beta and the game its absolutely amazing, so don’t talk if you have not played
Play the beta
It's free
Also I just pay for Ubi+ and Gamepass ultimate. Honestly I save more money that way.
But try the beta. Think it is up till the 11th or 12th on everything but switch. Also pretty sure all progress carries over if you get the game.
I am playing it and it's actually fun. Very cinematic too in and out of combat. Sailing is great. Customization in ship and for your character is actually really cool.
Id say worth a try. Im getting it off Ubi+ for free
Repeat after me, “My opinion is irrelevant.” Good now repeat that 100 times because there are tons of people out there that will play this game and honestly the naval combat is 100x better than black flag
@@carnage-path301 true
@mar3x268 fair ill give the beta a go before i go on cause id rather try it to be sure as anything else in life but at first glance from what i can understand it just feels likd a pirate game should be more than vehicle combat and casual fightless strolls through islands but i hope im wrong
Well-rounded fair video, nice job. Good to see you mention that you cannot do proper boarding yet. Hopefully, that gets added at a later date because it's not a proper pirate game without it and without fighting on land. ATM is just basically a ship battle simulator, not a real pirate game sadly so I'll be waiting, watching the development not buying immediately.
They fail to mention on ps and Xbox you have to have a subscription to play or it’s a no go, haven’t seen or heard of you have to do the same for Pc
After playing sea of thief’s fit years this is a big difference and I like what it offers. Only down side right now for me is not able to explore every island.
Don’t forget not being able to walk around your own ship, the lack of hand to hand combat, the lack of pistols/flintlocks, the constant fade to black screens when you want to disembark, boarding being a cutscene etc.
It s a plus for me no other combat than the naval One! Great choiche.
I'm enjoying skull and bones it's a good mid game I got the premium edition for the PS5. Haters & complainers go bunny hop & one shot each other in sea of thieves.🥂😎
I’m trying to enjoy it too but a pirate game wear we can’t even fight is crazy
I’m with both the comments here.. I wanna be able to fight with a sword but maybe they’ll add it later on
Rather play sea of thieves than whatever this garbage is. Hope it comes to ps5 soon so this fails like Anthem.
@@lentzz_2xyou can fight in the endgame, and join in on the PvP enabled events and hunt down the players, you just aren’t looking for it lol
@@GREGGGGGc see you people are the ones that ruin video games.. let the game come out first and actually play the FULL game before figuring out what your gonna do. We got no good games out and as soon as one drops you give it hell
I have no idea what to even do in the game. When I go to do the thing it gives me a marker for I just get ganged up on and can't do anything without sinking idk if if im collecting what I need or just collecting random crap. Super confused and it's not worth the time anyways
The game babies you to hell for awhile. If u truly are having that experience I think you might just be stupid
Actual
Skill
Issue
You don't get ganged up on unless you fire first, most AI ships do not shoot until you fire the first shot.....so maybe don't shoot? Just an idea.
You can literally check what you need to collect if you track your quest, this isn't rocket science my guy.
You say it's not worth the time but you can't even figure out that you won't get sunk if you don't start blasting ships above your own level.
It's not worth your time because you are evidently dumb af lmao
I will not lie that’s a skill issue your just not paying attention
@@jaccon6106fr
Completely forgot about this game, Helldivers 2 is been such a good surprise. 😅
Yeah im mot buying this. If this was free to play then sure lets see
I mean currently it is free to play in the open beta, and is actually quite fun, unless you expect it to be black flag.
DONT BUY THIS SCAM!!!!!!!!
Lol, Warframe has a better "Ship battle system" side-mode than the literal game created solely for it...
You may not have the exploration aspect, but you can hire different crew members, have a lot of varied missions on and off your "Railjack" or boat, and can play in multiplayer letting other players drive your ship or stay on guns etc. You can upgrade weapons, mod your ship for different powers and passives, and many other things. It's crazy
the moment there was a long cutscene to operate a cannon and go through a door I closed it and deleted the game
This game is actually amazing. Been hooked on the beta for the past 2 days now. Don't listen to these cry babies in the comments if you wanna try the game. It's really good. The graphics are top notch too
The game is trash. It feels like a xbox 360 black flag glorified DLC
This game wouldn’t even be good if it was released 5 years ago 😂
You're idea of good is very different from mine. Enjoy your new arcade game.
How do I play as zoro
Last night I tried the beta and in my honest opinion I was a bit bored..then I jumped on helldivers 2 for the first time and my attention picked up and I had a lot of fun.
They should release AC Black Flag remake instead than this game that nobody asked for
This game d.o.a
Why remake it when it’s still good?
Actually
People wanted Black flag and Skull and Bones
How the f are they gonna do that when black flag remake isn't even fully in the oven. Atleast skull and bones is ready to be shipped out. Why stop for one when we can get two.
I asked for a game like this, but not this game.
When I realised in a "Pirate" game no sword, melee, gun combat... I just don't wanted to believe it... I taught it is a joke... but not.
I was hoping for a game that would be the next Open-World Priate game like Sea Dogs or the Pirates of The Caribbean game from 2003, But they didnt even manage to make anything close to it even though its 21 years ago it was released...
Pirates of the Caribbean online was legendary. All they had to do was copy that 😂
Sad that cannon aiming isnt fixed to their limitations as they are now high angle of attack makes it easier but less real i guess
They invented how to do this properly more than 10 years ago, in Black Flag and yet they screw up here. Unbelievable. It could've been such a cool game
It's not worth $40 and Ubisoft is charging $70.
There. That's what you should know.
I don’t think there was a designation between PvE and PvP “servers”… I think if you head out to those specific areas of the high seas you get automatically flagged for PvP. Of course those specific areas have the best loot so drives players to take risks… but end of the day if you’re just trying to chill you can grab your friends and play outside of those zones.
Rockstar should make a pirate game for us without being stingy and money hungry so we can give have a good experience
I just LOVE Skull and Bones!. Pre bought and just played the demo!. GREAT GAME!!. I will be spending MANY hours enjoying this game for sure!

Clearly a NPC
@@daedric5647 Stupid comment ;). If you don't like the game just scroll PAST!... No one will miss you!
Ubisoft thinking they did something worth $70+ is peak dissociation. Skip.
Seeing how many people buy this game outright on launch will be a good metric for the state of humanity. lol
Will I keep everything I’ve done in the beta once the game comes out
Yes
not really
Red dead 2 had a 400 million dollar budget. Yet these companies think great games can be made without investing.
They should have added first person combat. Roping, bridging, jumping, whatever, to another ship and taking em down with your sword. If they had some good in person combat, like black flag, I would be down probably
Do people not understand they can’t have a big map AND have island roaming? This games gonna get updated from the looks of it every 2 months, they’ll add stuff that will appeal everyone. (Launches February and the 3rd season is Halloween themed, so it’s roughly 2 1/2 months per season
Is there no on foot fighting and exploring?
There's no hand to hand combat whatsoever besides cutscenes. There are many outposts scattered around where you can walk on and explore but personally, there's really nothing to explore. Each outposts have a totem of some kind that you light up that you need to look for at any outposts. Which gives your crew more stamina or something. I believe this the devs version of "exploring".
I can confirm that it ran just fine at 60 fps 1440P with a Ryzen 5 3600x, 32GB RAM and a RTX 2080 Super at High with some things I just do not care about on low/medium in the open beta, and all extra fluff I hate off, such as DoF and Blur etc. Game looks good so far, but that price tag is too steep for a game that cost 120m USD to develop and is this lacking. One could hope for more features at release, but it's Ubisoft, so my expectations are low. Not as low as when I went into the game at Open Beta launch, as I enjoyed it, but still low.
Guess I'm better off sailing on the Adrestria.
Does anyone know if there are “on foot” things to do ? or just ship things. i know youre on foot to get quests off some islands and stuff but are there full things to do while on foot though
Your only on foot at outposts to collect/turn in quests and find treasure chests due to treasure maps. Only on outposts, no where else. Pretty much what you've seen is pretty much what you gonna get.
@@jrgcgamingchannel2984 so much fun right?
@@MacCocas1 So much so I keep drinking caffeine just to keep playing..
@@jrgcgamingchannel2984 😂😂
maybe its not what ppl are expecting but it could just be fun to hang out with your pals and just muck about
How after Black Flag do they come up with such a lackluster pirate experience.
Skull and bones tries to make the sailing realistic? Id like to see any ship turn on a dime like that.
It's €80 dollars on ps in europe, equal to $86 that makes it a hard sell imo
This should have been a $29.99 game at MOST. They should’ve lowered the price of it like they did with Assassins Creed Mirage. This is nowhere near a $70 game.
The fact you can’t even walk around your ship in fire your cannons on your own , there’s no quarters you can check out, you can’t even talk to your crew on your ship.. the only time you can walk on when you are at the hub island (where the stores and warehouse are) when you gather items and equipment, you don’t get off your ship. You get up close to the island and press a button to gather materials.. There’s no treasure chests there’s no sword or firearm fights… even when you board an enemy ship you get up close to it press the button and a little cut scene plays of your crew plundering the ship. You don’t get to do it yourself.. if you are into straight up naval battles and all you wanna do is sink ships, this game MIGHT be for you but if you want to do anything else like walk around explore islands, getting fights off the water… not gonna happen. In my, opinion go play Assassin‘s Creed Black Flag, Sea of Thieves even AC Rouge.. I am so disappointed that this game is what it is. I was so hyped when this got announced. This is the game I was waiting for they had old games. They had a few pirate games but nothing open world and in depth and I guess we still haven’t gotten that. Now it’s just a filler game for Ubisoft+
the most disappointing in this game for me is having no sword combat or gun fight(flintlock) on the land, all the fight I could do is by ship, like WTF pirate is not only kill each other on the ship
Im basically getting it on the 13th due to ubisoft plus premium for pc which gets it before everyone. Ive had more fun than i can express considering i love this genre and thought we needed more games like Sid Meirs pirates and i was happy they decided to model the game after it. Been playing the beta ever since it came out and already have roughly close to 35 hrs from my all nighter. Its been a blast to me.
You cut down the tree by bringing your ship next to it. And the tree just cuts down. So stupid. I’d rather them have us to use our smaller boat and go collect resources by hand. And haul them back. While also being able to explore that island.
What other game did you see doing that?
That’s stupid…this is not minecraft or some exploration shit. You want exploration go play starfield and no man’s sky.
For everyone saying it will lose support in months, take a look at for honor. A small, core player base and still constant updates 7 years later.
And it was kind of shit on release too. Got better each patch (up to a point)
Anyone slapping down 70 for this after the open beta needs their head checking 😂
It was actually pretty good I was utterly surprised
Npc
@@Aceuchiha. far from 😂 I nit pick 90% of games. People just expected to much from this one
