[@gargoyled_drake]

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

Slow the ships down, make more realistic sail motion, improve damage models, make ship interios to walk around out of battle for repairs, medic room, crew quarters to improve visuality and rpg features. This game looks like a tech demo from 2015.

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.

I think two things have happened. Black Flag did something so ahead of its time (in terms of the navel sections) they set the bar incredibly high to begin with.

They didn't have to beat it though, they just had to do the EXACT SAME THING. If this was another company, maybe, but it's literally the same one, so they get no grace from me

No such thing as set the bar too high. Its a decade ago, everything has increased and improved. Games were 20 gb max, now 100gb avarage. We played with 900 pixels, now with 2k at least. They were working with UE2 or 3. We have 4 (and partly 5). There is nothing that can justify a game thats 10 years older but plays like 10 years younger. They have every technology at their disposal to create a game 10x better than BF. There is no walking hand combat, no boarding combat, cannons shoot like pistols, graphics are meh. Basically this game is half the game of what BF was and thats just not right for a game thats 10 years older.

[@benwilliams5760]

AC IV - 4:22 - People on deck be careful!!! S&B - 4:38 - People on deck on a sunny day.

I legit just played Black Flag the other day! Time to hop back on!😂

[@methatguy5996]

I'm not even touching skull and bones unless they add the other half of the game back in, wtf ubisoft really? Defend it all you want but its nothing but a stripped down black flag with less than half the content.

[@cristianfatu2088]

No thanks, we want ignorant naval battles and only naval stuff, for other stuff we already have Sea Of Thieves wich lacks naval combat ( fun ones that doesn't feel like a chore when solo)

[@methatguy5996]

[@justespelund]

@@cristianfatu2088 If you only want naval combat (no boarding, no sword fighting etc.) then you're not playing a pirate game, which this is.. This is a ship version of world of tanks.. Its lacking arguably the 2nd most important part of pirates, the fucking sword fighting, boarding ships, swashbuckling.

I goong play Black Flag again, ty :)

[@saymyname6726]

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.

[@HoppeKlang]

Black Flag Top Tier Game

missing steam achievements lol

[@linusnilsson2734]

I mean Skull and bones will probably be a really chill casual game to plow hours into after work :)

For 70$ tho?

AC Black Flag : we're the pirates S&B : Ubisoft are the pirates

[@vladingue8503]

I love how S&B looks like a wish edition of Black Flag in almost every single aspects XD. Kuddos though for the songs. They seem to hold decently against the BF ones : GG Bugbisoft !

[@2kdad]

is skull and bones actually releasing?? i was hoping it would be a single player with a great story with land and sea battles

[@reddemon6668]

Yes it’s releasing sometime in February (almost here). It’s not single player, pvp is insignificant (pvp component might change on release). Not much land exploration, only in town hubs to trade stuff, or pick up voyages. Not sure about the story but your character doesn’t speak

[@Eleriol84]

In black flag you feel the weight of the ship in skull and bones thats all gone and it feels like your sailing skips made out of balsa wood

[@user-xj2lh9cv9h]

4:36 love how the person on the canon is wiping the sweat out of his face while being in a storm😂 also how casual they all walk around like nothing happens...

[@maddyaurora]

people: we want an AC4 like game!! ubisoft: sure, let me strip AC4 of everything it is known for, here you go

[@shawbag11]

Dont forget to charge 60 quid for the plesure of pressing X to board ships and then charge 20 quid every 3 months for a battle pass u cant earn ingame that gives gameplay effecting things.

[@akronym4439]

Skull and bones has to much explosions in the fight. Unless you have explosives cann8nballs all the time but it seems false.

[@Shadowclaw25]

wait till you see the multi-rocket-launcher ^^ just like in the history books

[@cristianfatu2088]

If you ever actually opened one, you would know that ships of that era could equip rocket launchers, primitive ones but still rocket launchers, an archaich Katjuša on ships and even big mortars/Howitzers.@@Shadowclaw25

Having the Black flag soundtrack in S&B would be amazing as well as the Jackdaw

AC Odyssey also has very nice naval battles.

No way. It's so limited.

Also I like how you can recruit 4 strong Ally’s to journey with you through out the Greek world and change the crews skins of your choice .S + b should’ve gave us more freedom

[@Adryan_85]

Skull and Bones looks like a game from 2003 and Black Flag like a game from 2023.

[@duxzzzzzz1254]

In S&B, can you only fire 1 cannon at once or can you fire the whole volley at once, cause i wana blasta ship like a shotgun and not just 1 little ball at a time?

[@__IGR]

Some of them shoot in turns, others simultaneously, you can choose any in the port, but you understand that the beta was only 6 hours, it was impossible to see everything.

[@hidroinreallife]

I wanna love this so much but that ship boarding is disgraceful. Thats part of what it means to be a pirate in my eyes and to leave that out is a deal breaker

[@S1NG15]

The cannonballs in black flag look rediculously big.

[@diptwo]

they wont dare to release this game as a new product. NO WAY! it would be a disgrace

huh ? so it fits perfectly...ubisoft is a disgrace aswell.

It make me think Ubisoft should making single player Pirate of the Caribbean game, they could just adapt the movie trilogy or maybe make story about young Jack, with combat and Naval battle similar to AC black flag... It would be so awesome

There is a good way to do a game and a bad way, skull and bones invested years into the bad way

Because you say so and it's a trend to hate? The 6 hour beta was refreshing and a needed ignorant naval battle game.

[@reddemon6668]

⁠@@cristianfatu2088because the majority of gamers and pirate fans says so. Funny how you ignore trends when they’re the exact thing people look for to see if a product is worth it. Where do you think game scores come from? The 6 hour beta was boring after 4 hours. Some people got bored before that, others after. And then there’s the minority, yes, you, an empty headed individual looking for ignorant empty gameplay, just like you expressed

[@raibyo]

In Black Flag, it feels like you're steering an actual ship. In Skulls and Bones, it feels like you're moving around a toy. Not to mention, in Black Flag, big waves and storms can actually sink your ship if you're not careful.

[@mr.libluckiestinfinitebene2589]

Back then when Ubisoft creates something Great Videogame and new genre game 👍🏻🗿

[@3keeling3]

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.

[@mynameisjeffrey9732]

The comparison is a testament to just how amazing Black Flag was AND STILL IS. Anyhoo, Ubisoft should just remaster the treasure that is Black Flag, and let S&B sink to the bottom of the deep blue sea.

[@nhbossify9596]

I am glad that you use AC4 bgm in S&B ship fight otherwise I will skip that part

Maybe the graphics were downgraded on Skull and Bones for the multiplayer.

nothing Ubisoft makes is able to kill anything. Not even their own stuff. they said they go back to the roots with mirage and now YOU actually believe they are able to remake a great game?? you completely lost touch, everyone should have realized by now that good old Ubisoft is dead. the games from them are made to exploit 12y olds nowadays. The good old Splinter Cell days with adult content is OVER.

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.

[@ohsam5954]
