If Ubisoft had their brains right they could have gone that route instead they choose to mess up and there forth be in bankruptcy very soon!

@@wodensthrone5215Black flag’s narrative is very much so based on the Assassins creed and their ideals, ethics and philosophy.

Black flag shows how an outsider views the world and how his ideals and motivations allign with the Assassins Creed. It’s a great story of a man who in search for money and riches found himself through the Assassins creed. The pirate stuff is a bonus on the gameplay side.

Out of my three failures of the year is between Sweet Baby Inc, Concord, and Ubisoft. But, as much as I believe SBI is #1, the fear of bankruptcy of three big AAA titles is impossible to miss. Great video YF, and this makes me want to play the Peter Jackson King Kong Game. When Ubisoft knew what games were.

what about that prince of persia remake that never got released ..... lol so sad, they just need to remake all their old games with a fresh coat of paint and mechanics and they would be the best company right now

[@chrisbamford3505]

The next flop will be dragon age. They missed up bad with the character customization and now they are saying the previous choice you made in the other games will not be imported into the world. They do know that the only thing that made fans keep playing dragon age was the choice you made to effect the world. They have completely lose my business. It reminds of the mass effect andromeda think previously choices made in game would be able to be important into next game that was the reason I bought the game when I found out it was not going to the case I lose all interest in playing it

This is how you know the ESG money is so good. How else could this company keep the lights on? How can a company lose hundreds of millions, game after game?

[@kostakonomi]

It took about 10 years to release and they had a contract to release it this is all on them

[@dcsblessedbees]

Every game from the west dev will be woke/DEI in the near future. They developed these games from the past 4-8 years.

What even is, or was, "Skull and Bones?" I don't remember seeing any advertising for this.

[@simbriant]

That is a big OOF! 😂

The more I learn about budgets for big games the more I'm convinced there's massive embezzlement going on in the industry

[@PercyNPC]

Nothing can save this company right now.

[@sagathekawaiikilla]

What goof willing let their company just burn to the ground ??? I got dreams myself but I got things that depend on me- a real goof bets on something and let everyone and everything they love get hurt in the cross fire smh

No hand-to-hand combat in a Pirate game has the same feel as the line "Good Pirates dont steal from others" from the 'Jake the Pirate' tv show.

Best Buy had skull for $10 for their summer sale. A physical copy.

[@deltor5849]

The game released with a 30% discount and it peaked at 2.5k players. $850 million down the drain. Womp womp, no sympathies whatsoever

[@saisame7975]

At this point, it's money laundering because i don't believe they spent even 10% of that 650 million dollars to make the game because it doesn't look like one.

[@SB-mr2nk]

Yeah 650m is total bullshit lol

[@Tee008]

Pulled a page outta nexons book

[@unusualbydefault]

The truly sad thing is: they had ALL the tech inhouse. 4 Player AC Pve coop, x Player AC PvP and engaging Ship mechanics from Black Flag.

[@jasonthemagnificent2.0]

That's insane

[@ThePaalanBoy]

imagine putting yourself in a position of needing about $1000 from every player in order to brake even
