S&B looks like the Demo for Black Flag, would've been nice if it was basically Black Flag without the Assassin stuff in it. Being able to go to all islands, If you were fast enough being able to hop off the wheel and solo board a vessel and exploring the shipwrecks were all so fun. Just wish there was more interaction with your fleet/crew like calling for aid when in a naval battle or have some crew work like the Assassins in Brotherhood.

S&B is a joke to me. But the release of it is an attempt to make money on trash. This project needed to be shut down because it was a failure. It never became what it set out to become. And now. Ubisoft have stitched it together as a somewhat complete game. If you see world of tanks but with pirate ships like a complete game. Nah. I see this being pushed because they saw oppertunities for adding microtransactions to the game when it's more just an online battle game like world of tanks. Like i said. It's a joke. But it's ment to be taken seriously. Don't waste time on it. Don't let them think that the game has a player base. Let them know that you find the game presented to you to be disappointing by not engaging in the game and by not adding a number to the active players. If only people understood this simple and logic trade in the gaming industry. When the big corporations f up. You show it by not giving any attention to their bad product. We've just had years where people instead engaged in bad products. Bad games and glitchy games were treated like gems that were fun because they were broken. This completely ruined the gaming industry for way too long. Where games actually just released broken because it gave the game popularity and people wanted to play and stream it because they wanted to laugh at the bad product. But in the end these games made a lot of profit on the popularity they got on being broken.

Black flag : 1. feels the weight of the ship 2. the damage caused by the iron cannon hitting the wood feels more reasonable 3. the horror of the waves on the dark open sea during a bad storm was felt more Skull & Bones : 1. the ship feels more like a lego ship, it is light and can fly whenever it wants. 2. too much fire from an iron cannon hitting a wooden ship, if they used modern missiles it might make more sense that there would be that many sparks 3. the storm at sea is more like just colored dark effects, less feel the real horror of the open sea in the middle of a very bad storm In terms of graphics, it's probably more about over-enhancement and unnecessary effects

If Black Flag is an Assassin’s Creed fanfic of the Golden Age of Piracy, then Skull and Bones is a fanfic of Black Flag, and that’s not a compliment. It’s ironic how Ubisoft made fun of themselves in Black Flag with Abstergo’s concept trailer for Devils of the Caribbean (or whatever it was called), and yet this fits exactly like what Abstergo would release. When will they realize that self-awareness means nothing if they don’t actually DO anything about the flaws they admit to.

The fact that skull & bones came from the same studio that made black flag, they should have known better. They should've just added things that were missing in black flag and made skull & bones the improved version of it more focused on sailing and pirating. Boarding the ship and getting your crew go head to head with theirs is a major key that adds to the fun. It seems that skull & bones doesn't have that, I'm not saying its not going to be good, but for players who played black flag, that's gonna be tough to accept.

4:22 - AC IV - The water on deck moves better in physics and the people on board are careful during a storm. 4:38 - S&B - The water on the deck is almost invisible and people on the ship walk as usual and not with caution during a storm. AC IV - 4:22 - People on deck be careful!!! S&B - 4:38 - People on deck on a sunny day.

Great video. Thanks for posting. Disappointed that when boarding in S&B, there is no combat. Also appears, maneuvering in AC:BF is slower and more realistic. S&B battle look like they are on speed. This video convinced me to ignore S&B and go replay AC:BF again.

I loved both games and even finished AC Black Flag 4 times but after trying S&B on their closed beta I immediately fell in love with it. 1 minute I was busy killing a boss alone and another minute a random friendly player comes by to help. Then there was also this one time when I was on my way to deliver a quest, I encounter 2 random guys trying to sink a frikkin ghost ship which then I later realized that it was a boss, I rushed and jumped in to help and it took as roughly 30 minutes to sink it down. I love how the content of this game can be enjoyed by many on the fly while playing it. I understand a lot of people are a bit disappointed with S&B but as someone who have played many online sailing games in the past like "Uncharted Waters Online", "Pirates of the Burning Sea" and "Naval Action", I say S&B is like a dream come true and I look forward to the future patches and updates to come!

Man... if there only was a good, serious age of sail online rpg, with realistic sailing, navigation, ship interiors and also land gameplay. Like the Sea Dogs games, just modernized. A touch of fantasy is not that bad, especially dark fantasy, like undead in a tomb or cavern guarding treasure, but not all that fantasy loaded crap, that there is out there.

These both look good, but they both look like a tank on water that you just rotate which gun you are using. IMO Sea of Thieves is the best pirate game. It doesn’t assist with cannon shots, you actually have to man the cannons to fire them, you can board the other ships, if a cannonball hits your ship you actually have to fix the hole or you will sink… the list goes on.

Skull and Bones (SAB) was a good thought, and I get the ambition, but they should have left it as that. A good thought. SAB is inside of Black Flag (BF), but BF is not inside of SAB. That being said, we get more bang for our buck with BF. Maybe they should have done what most developers are doing these days and redefine BF into a definitive version of the game and voila.
