Back in 2017, I was hopeful for Skull & Bones. It was advertised as a AC4 Black Flag standalone but in 2022, the game advertised is nothing close to what was originally promised. Whenever it does finally release, it will be a massive flop.

The most disappointing thing when i saw the trailer at gamescom we had a chance to actually talk with some of the developers. Now i dont wanna give them any shade. From the looks of it the game was very functional (they claimed the „trailer“ was played all in engine.) however when i asked: well what about boarding? After the show ended the answer i got was: „well when you board you two crews just fight each other and if you thinned your enemys crew yours will have an easier time“ „but like- can i help my crew?“ „n-no i dont think so“ „oh thats… a bit… disappointing“

The game wasn't designed as a single player story. So even if they do add single player exploration elements, they are going to be lifeless and boring because they were tacked on at the last minute. To a game that was initially going to be multi-player only ship on ship battles. No single player. No story mode. No treasure.

[@Toy1er]

My brother in Christ, anyone with half a brain cell should've been able to tell from that first trailer in 2017 that it was going to be hot dog turd. Like most Ubi products. Only like 1/5 Ubi soft games are even playable. The rest are so empty, soulless and tedious slogs. Examples: Division, Ghost Recon, AC Valhalla, Watch Dogs 3. But Siege is still pretty fun, so I'll give them credit for keeping that game alive for so long. Watch Dogs 2 was kind of fun. Idk I never finished it tho, too repetitive and tedious. Compared to Watch Dogs 3, number 2 was a damn masterpiece. Ubi = ass.

[@Blacktoothoneil]

Honestly I don’t think it’s a delay problem, it’s just an issue of how the game industry is fundamentally flawed, at least for triple a developers. The incentive structure is so out of wack, I’m a firm believer that, like books and movies, video games are art, but the working environment for development of these games and the structure around this production causes the artistry and creativity in the developers to be stifled. More likely than not, this game started out as what it said on the tin, but because it was a side project based off the naval combat of AC4 they probably didn’t fund it well, then the developers (or lack thereof, because if it’s a forgotten project they probably don’t send as much resources as they need) need to delay, then the company adds more and more requirements to make the game more inline with their current business model (the battle royale shit). It’s just corporations being shitty, the delays aren’t the issue, it’s everything else that causes delays. Reject capitalist game companies, embrace anarchy.

Either way nobody is going to play this trash after about 3 days from launch. It doesn't even look like a fully realized game. Just AC Black Flag with most of the game play features and content missing. Tbf that's worth like $20 $30 tops. Personally, I wouldn't pay more than $5 on sale for it.

I was hoping for pirate v pirate combat to be included too. Naval combat is fun but I like to also board and actually FIGHT people sword to sword gun to gun.

[@skyblue2708]

The truth is, it really isn't. It was never advertised as being a standalone AC Black Flag, they never said it would have any melee combat or stealth features of Black Flag, or anything like that. The truth is that they clearly conceptualised the game to ride off the success of black flag, but all the features everybody was hoping for was just in their imagination. They saw Ubisoft pirate game and just assumed it would be another black flag, and that's probably what Ubisoft wanted people to think to push sales but it has bit them on the ass.

It has plenty of room for growth + It seems to have a very wide variety of play styles. If you want another AC so badly, then try another game.

Feel so bad for the developer drones at Ubisoft. Forced to make repetitve crap because the higher ups have no love for games.

[@kirkcabbage309]

I played the beta and downloaded the full game. It was ok but somehow my inventory got wiped, I can’t create a new character and start over. All the shitbags with no jobs have already got giant ships and they frag the hell out of you as soon as you leave the main safe area. I have since deleted it and put it in the could have been a good game but Ubisoft once again had a good idea and couldn’t execute it efficiently just the division 2, for honor, and the list goes on. They keep this string of shit up they will be the next Bethesda. Least this game wasn’t as big of a let down than Fallout 76.

This is so wrong, you guys didnt check was originally set to be; a fucking pvp Game. No Open World, no open sailing, just a arena where you shoot other peoples ship and a few npc's, think World of Warships but with 17th/18th Century ships

[@shinobibeats007]

Basically, we all thought we were going to get assassin‘s creed Black flag online but if I can’t leave my boat to loot other ships or resources like in assassin’s creed, it’s kind of lame. That’s why I like the game it made you feel like a pirate.

[@davidtarnowski2149]

Bruh. Gollum. Day Before. King Kong. That’s just off the top of my head

[@juna61]

I mean.... they never want us players to enjoy too much. They only give 10 percent of what we want for reason unknown.

[@st0n3rJ0k3st3r]

At this point even if Ubisoft made a good game, people would still shit on them

[@Rustyorange725]

They never told the deck community to avoid buying it as it won't run on it. They kept that quiet like true pirates ripping people off

[@datboii3738]

people just taking a paycheck while they can milk out production so sad to see this game be such a disappointment...

[@juliusflynn2323]

I am confused. Literally not a pirate version of black flag. They said you most likely won't be able to get off your ship. They said the game was supposed to be focused on ship combat only.

[@r3l1csvk]

yeah instead of a multiplayer black flag we are getting pirate reskinned world of warships

[@nomnom7608]

Always was advertise as that literally knew day one is was gonna be sh*t

[@MichaelKnight-b7u]

World of warships is a mess as well. Wallet gaming is the worst gaming company 100 percent. They ruined tanks, and now are ruining ships only to line their wallets with cash. Wargaming sux!

[@kellygreenii]

I swear people just go looking for things to get upset about. You forgot that the game is built on the foundation of AC Odyssey and its naval battles and sea travel. Which was highly popular and much better realized than Black Flag.

[@devinwilliams3317]

No land or ship boarding combat. Evening is a cutscene. The “dens” are just social hubs to collect 4 types of missions. If it was a F2P game I would be all for it. But at AAA prices ? Foh

[@UGALEE1]

I don’t mind it, would like it a whole lot more if they had land combat when you plunder outposts and the ability to board ships.

[@Josef_R]

I played the beta yesterday and was completely disgusted with Ubisoft, after waiting all these years.

[@aynsley1382]

“First quadruple A game to come out” 💀

[@Marshal_Dunnik]

Everyone knows they're only releasing it to meet a contractual obligation with the Gov't of Singapore. Any other project in this state would be delayed, shelved or cancelled.

[@Toy1er]

I don't think everyone knows that, actually. I have no idea what you're talking about, but it does check out because money laundering is about the only way to explain Ubisoft's continued existence.

[@gelipterzg]

after playing the closed beta, i can say that calling the game crap would be an insult to crap.

[@Jakem763]

Ubisoft needs to hire some new developer talent every game they make is so clearly using recycled assets I get that’s how it works but make them look better for christ

[@J_B1987]

Biggest mistake imo : Focused on multiplayer! Why does every damn game needs to be multiplayer?

[@CaptainRockoBD]

Sea of thieves and black flag still hold the crowns 👑

[@cerdjee4918]

So we're not getting the game that was advertised back then, you could say we're only getting the "skull and bones"

[@PhsykoOmen]

The only disappointment is people still thinking its a game they didnt want when it showed from the start its a ship combat game. If its a disappointment its only on YOU. Game looks dope af

[@kirbbar2258]

Since the game awards doesn't have a "most disappointing" award, it would be funny if everyone continued to give bad games the "most innovative" award as a joke like starfield. I'd vote for this game in a heartbeat.

[@Alexander-uz8qk]

False advertisement, I feel a lawsuit coming

[@nicopinzel]

Honestly I had my fun with it. Some things were tedious, but I’ve played 100 hours now, got it for 30€ and I’m not quite as disappointed as I imagined I would be, thinking about it being made by Ubisoft
