Torpedoes?? Gameplay in general seems way more arcadey than I thought it would. Damage to the ship when you just kept hitting the sails over and over doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Voicelines from crewmates didn't feel immersive whatsoever, quite the opposite tbh, yeah idk, meh.

Yes torpedoes lol. I didnt understand why people were mentioning torpedoes, until i noticed them at very end of beta being shot at me. Sails can be destroyed, without them ship is slow or doesnt move at all. Here it felt fine, but i cant comment how it feels at end game or in PvP. Crew voicelines are meh, some songs were good, but overall meh.

so weird you can shoot from any angles, even angles where the guns on the shit can't physically aim lol

[@knausis07]

Not quite. You have side cannons and frontal cannons on the ship. At 14:40 for example, you can see vertical dashed line. It shows the frontal cannon available angle. I am not sure if at the dashed line ends frontal and starts side cannon angle, or there can be an overlap. Btw I had terrible choice of frontal cannons (big DPS and spread, but short range) here though.

the sea looks bad, sea of thieves did it a lot better and long time ago

[@knausis07]

I havent played Sea of Thieves, but from what i have seen, sea there looks bright and wave tops and splashes much less detailed. But some waves, and their patterns, definitely look better there than in Skull and Bones. Imo the sea looks good in Skulls, different places on map give different waves, strength and lighting too. My biggest concern about Skulls is midgame and endgame. Co-Op here was fun, but if exactly the same will be in endgame, without extra twists and additions, it will get boring sooner than later. Bigger ship alone wont keep most players in the game.

Sea of thieves is a cartoon game. You are comparing good looking cartoon water to water that looks real. Get help you clearly have vision problems.

[@knausis07]

@@todddominoes9862 water in Sea of Thieves doesnt look cartoony at all, everything else is 100% cartoonish.

[@tadakatsu1991]

Looks so boring. Where are the good games?
