    the wind does matter, a lot! the dhow that little fishing boat has a very cut down mechanic to ease you in. but you have keep the wind direction into the sails , it will roll your boat that does affect aiming and available gun elevations, waves push you about, hitting waves wrong slows you down , can even damage your ship and they will block shots .the boats can do some "gamey" things like spin on the spot when not moving but there are a lot of actually sailing mechanics once your past the opening tutorial and have an actual ship. and your just sailing around a flat millpond here to.

    How did you not see the triangle inside of the speed indicator? It shows the direction of the wind. When it's green you're sails are as full as they can be. When it's white it's still favorable but when it turns red it means you're sailing straight into the wind. So there is a wind mechanic. You can even dump all the wind from your sails and turn even quicker just like IRL. So it's not gas powered. Hate on the game but at least understand the mechanics.

      But what's more important, we are not talking boats. We are talking ships. They have more drift, more drag and sails adjustable in shorter range of angles.

    "Shallow" and "arcady" is exactly what to expect from Ubisoft.
    I remember back when The Crew launched, I wrote in the forums "this is not a game for car enthusiasts" and I got a perma-ban for it (until they reversed it cause I complained).
    That's their attitude, pump out arcade trash and if you dare to not like it, do they care? No, they just add you to their shit-list.

    I personally think it is good and I am enjoying it. I have played a looot of it. You havent played far enough to see the depth. The wind matters a LOT. Some ships just sail into it well, but seriously, wind is everything. There is some depth to the manufacturing and delivery end game. You can pursued at an insane level when you start carrying large amounts of goods. You CAN fire full broadsides by clicking and holding. You can also demast enemy ships with demi cannons. Theres more mission types than you have tried as well. Escorts and repairs, etc. The ships actually felt like they had a good weightyness to me, I was surprised that was your take, but they are definitely turning on a dime. It is arcadey and I wish it wasn't, but I've still had a blast. The end game modules you put on your ship customize their builds quite heavily and it gets pretty deep. Idk. I am having fun overall. Needs work, but I think its better than people are saying.

    It's a bare minimum of a pirate, it's not even a pirate game. A ship battle game. When you control your character on hubs feels disconnected from the world, an afterthought and it feels like it used to be a menu but made it into a hub. Imagine watching Pirates of the Caribbean but all the footage happens on the ship. The atrocious Pre-orders packs, MTXs design to milk a sinking ship. Overall, it feels like a chore to play Skulls and Bones.

  • @zaclovesschool2273

    I think if they really did try to slow down the experience, from a foundational design perspective, it could push them to arrive at a more complete and deep experience. A shame they were so afraid to let us immerse ourselves with deeper mechanics, probably fearing that wed complain too much if it was slow...even when that's really not the case. I wish they stuck to their original design back in 2017. the changes really took their toll. I still enjoyed what I played of it, and I will enjoy the main game, but it is unfortunate what they missed out on potentially. hopefully it would be possible for them to grow it in the future..but I have doubts.

    So a little fun fact about this game, Ubisoft was most likely going to cancel this game for good. However, a scandal happened in Ubisoft Singapore where Singapore workers were not getting promoted and the foreign devs assigned there were. It was blatant discrimination and the Singapore government sued Ubisoft for it. Ubisoft lost and they were forced to pay reparations. Also, as part of the lawsuit, they needed to finish the game they were working on in the studio so the workers got their full paycheck and credit for their work. That game being Skull and Bones.

  • @Sbeowulf98

    I would have loved this game if it weren't for the changes made to cater to a 'wider audience.' What audience do you think would be interested in a semi authentic pirate game? Casual Fortnite/ COD players? Now they made a game for nobody. The casuals will grow tired of the pirate thing and quickly go back to their modern shooters, and fans of the golden age of piracy will see this and go back to playing Naval action or even Sea of Thieves. Honestly, it doesn't matter if you can't fight in boarding mode, or explore every island by foot. The game was never intended to work this way. What bugs me is the over-the-top casual mechanics like the flamethrowers, catapults, fully automatic rocket launchers and torpedoes combined with some aesthetic choices like spikes, sails, and even cargo (did they forget, ship's have holds?) poking out of the ships hull, and don't even get me started on the fisher-price looking enemy ships (one of my worst gripes with the game!) Honestly, this game is not for me... So disappointed, the original concept spoke to me and was clearly made for historical gamers (even with minor fantasy elements,) people who enjoy pirate games and/ or people interested in ship combat. What we have here is a cat, dressed up like a dog and neither cat lovers, nor dog owners will have real interest. Good job Ubi!! For the people who have worked on this game I sincerely hope this game finds that elusive 'wider audience' but I doubt it...

On the seven seas, you could keep human interaction to a minimum, cut the Caribbean map into pieces and sell it as DLC for $35 and I would still play that game.
