A pirate game where the main character cannot even swim... here is the first "quadruple A" game for you
This is why gamers from the 6th and 7th-generation of gaming (2000 - 2013) are always playing remasters, remakes, ports, and backward-compatible games because the current state of gaming and its future is just depressing.
@@Trenex1000 Exactly! I also notice that I play fewer and fewer new games each year and replay the old ones. I find the new games stuningly lacking of fun
Maybe he ate a devil fruit?
@@alp9323
I'll admit that the 8th and 9th-generation of gaming has given us some solid games and even a few bangers; I know this because I play them, but it's not what it used to be.
@@Trenex1000 That's true, and I have to say some of my all time favorite games were released after 2013, but in general gaming is becoming worse somehow. I don't think that I am being nostalgic, or I grew too old to enjoy a good game, the thing is there is a visible decline in quality in writing, innovation, creativity etc. Also game production became so expensive and understandably most of the companies avoid taking big risks. Instead of creating new IPs, they are constantly producing sequals and some unnecessary remasters. Some games are just being designed to maximize profits by promoting microtransactions. In addition; we have so fewer double A titles which were way common in PS2 and PS3 era. I don't think the gaming is dead like some people are clamoring, but just like you said, it is nowhere near how it was as i see. Maybe I am being too pessimistic, maybe things will get better in time.
I am impressed how ubisoft managed to downgrade newer games.
It’s WAY too impressive..
I don't understand the point of this game. You can't board ship, can't leave your ship whenever you want, it's black flag but worse in every way. So what's the point of this game when you can play black flag instead which is better in every way ?
It's been doing it for 10 years. Nothing new really. They suck even in sucking.
Wouldn’t call it a ac 4 inspired game then it’s a ac3 inspiration not bad but not great either lol
It’s a 2015 game in2024 😂😂😂 pathetic
Honestly I think the technological improvements are insane
AC4 obviously improved on all the things Skull and Bones didn't have in 2013
Lol
😂
I had to read this twice to get it 😂
Brilliant comment
This video makes me wanna replay Black Flag. What a masterpiece.
Also did to me and i'm doing it again
@@freakindamnshiki us i download it few hours ago
Finished the game (again) right before watching this video. Years later and still amazing
I want to but I am playing the AC games in order on my Xbox series X and I just beat 1 so I have to do 2 next then in order. I will get back to black flag eventually. Black flag needs a remake look at its graphics then.
Honestly all they had to do was remake black flag with a create a character function and some common pirate story missions
The shark fucking *ROARS* when attacking in Skull and Bones. I can’t even. 😅
And the ships explode like they are filled with propane. There is zero realism in this trash game.
Wait to you see the parrots barking! Ah, someone whispers in my ear that there are no parrots.. My bad.
King of the sea
Jjjjj@@TaediumVitae5700
I mean the main character being black and not being able to swim seemed pretty realistic to me
a pirate game where u can't EVEN SWIM? ok...no more words to this.
Wtf is the point of swimming, imo itd be a waste of time and space if they added that extra bullshittery in the game
@@wrecklesstrain1991 Its not "Bulshittery" Man, its a damn Pirate game, a game where 80% of your time will be in a ship, ON WATER! being able to swim is like...common sense!!! Also they even have water physics for the character when it interacts with water...so, Why The Fuck not? we demand quality from a 70$ Game bro, if u dont...i'm sorry, then you're a sucker!
@@wrecklesstrain1991found the Ubisoft dev
Fuck swimming, what about boarding? It was a big part of pirating
And don't say that boarding is but in form of cutscene. It doesn't count if there is no risk of loosing
@@piotrwisniewski70 Fuck "fuck swimming". Not being able to swim in a pirate game is a travesty.
no boarding is the most egregious offense of slop and bones
Now that’s not totally accurate- your boys go have all the fun and you wait to wait till they finished being a pirate, then it’s back to the boat that has stamina 👍
Based N.E.E.T pfp
@@LittleSilva422 ty
Very amusing
I absolutely loved how Edward would put out his hands like he's feeling the waves when walking in waist deep water. It's very immersive.
A game that costed ten times as much as black flag and 3 to 4 times the development time doesn't hold a candle to it. This is modern gaming
Ikr? AAAA game, yeah suuuure.😂
@@emanueletintori1229 more like Black Flag was AAAA

@@ASSASSIN19923
Exactly!👍🏻
Modernity has failed us
I didn’t know sharks roar like lions, Ubisoft
You have clearly never seen Jaws 4: the revenge. Which we all no to be a historical documentary
@@russbennett5470The best quote about that film is from Michael Caine himself, "I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific."
I didn’t know excluding the ability to fight, board, or swim off land would validate a game as a “pirate” game
Now we know the level of quality to expect from Ubisofts Quad 'A' titles
It means a Significant Downgrade from AAA....for More Money
@@russbennett5470 you spelled 'know' wrong
So you can't swim, and boarding is just a screen that says "good job, you boarded. Here's loot." Literally all S&B had to do was copy Sea of Thieves but make a pirate game that isn't cartoony, and what does Ubisoft give us? A pile of shit that is priced at $70 lmao GGs Ubisoft...
And... now it is reality, yes Sea of Thieves is available for preorder on PS5 it's finally here! P.S. this is not a trolling! Hype over 200%🤙🏻
If they had just taken out the "Assassins Creed" elements of Black Flag (all the modern bits), updated the graphics, created a new storyline... it would have worked.
Fortunately I get skull and bones for free on Ubisoft plus so I don’t have to pay $90 for it. Is it really this bad? Like is it almost ssktjl bad?
U forgot its AAAA game😂
@@emanueletintori1229dude... The only reason why they brought SOT to PlayStation is because the servers are barren and empty. The game is having a slow death and at the moment is in Palliative Care.
I forgot the AC4 boarding doesn't even have a cutscene, you literally pull up next to it, hit the button, get off the wheel, and it immediately starts
Every masterpiece has it's own cheap copy.
Ironically,the copy isn't cheap 😂😭
@@TiberiusCaeser
Why would you even bother about?🤷🏻♂️ Let it sink simply.
@@emanueletintori1229 That's what she said
@@TiberiusCaeser
Well no, to be honest you stated that skulls&bones, which it is exactly the "sorry copy&paste" of AC IV Black Flag it weren''t even cheap, which it is definitely right but it also implies either curiosity or at least a some kind of interest in the new AAAA game from yourself. So I simply suggested to not worry about it, how copy?
@@emanueletintori1229 Seems you got the point
The fact these effects are STILL present on the 360 and ps3 version of black flag Shows how much they put effort to these games back then, unlike now.
Even back then is less details 😂
The devs do put in all the efforts they can. Its the bloody management that have no clue what to do. The game we see now isnt how the they were in the beginning. There were couple of times were the devs had to scrap the enitre game they were doing and had to start fla new build because the head of the management kept changing and each had very different ideas of what the game should. the poor dev were just caught in the middle of all this tombfooleryyy😢😢
This is why gamers from the 6th and 7th-generation of gaming (2000 - 2013) are always playing remasters, remakes, ports, and backward-compatible games because the current state of gaming and its future is just depressing.
because back then, assassins creed made money through selling copies of the game, not microtransactions in an online open world. They wanted to really WOW you to get you to buy the game, now it's just 'play it and spend money pls, we don't care'
@@chrisstucker1813
Yes, that has a lot to do with it.
There was truly nothing like sailing the open sea in Black Flag with the shanties.
Its amazing to see how much we have improved from skull and bones to get to black flag. The new technology adding all the extra climbing, swimming, smooth transitions from boats to ship, improved graphics and world interaction to make everything feel alive. Its amazing!
For $70 I got Black Flag limited edition which included the game and a badass figure of Edward swinging from a mast that I keep on my desk to this day. Much better use of my money.
Indeed.
*Friends, I did 17 one arm pull ups, please support me* *..*
I just bought Gold Edition on Ubisoft store for 11USD :D
I gotten the same back then! Money well spend indeed!
*Friends, I did 22 one arm pull ups, please support me* *..*
I can't believe there are no land exploration, swimming, melee combats, and board combat in 'Skull and Bones' even though it was the same dev with 'AC: Black Flag'.
Because A) Navel combat in Black Flag was primarily made from Ubisoft Singapore and that's why they wanted to expand it and B) I already told you, it's navel combat from beginning. Never was marketed as a Black Flag game or exploration landing game rather navel combat
@@Hakeraidendude... you are trying too hard to justify this $70 let down. It doesn't hold a candle to older games.... it was said it's a AAAA GAME lmao yet WATER DOESNT EVEN DRIP... you are sucking turds straight from ubisofts hole dude
@@Hakeraiden I saw you constantly comment this on other reply's. My brother in christ its a fucking pirate game that was marketed as "exploration" and, well, fighting like pirates would. Which includes boarding the bastard ships because it was more valuable to take hostages and take what's on board instead of just sinking the dam vessels. They threw away so many good elements that would be ideal in a game such as this. I can't understand why you would defend this so adamantly?
@@Hakeraidenwait there is no land exploration or anything at all???????
@@BIGD-cc7ru nope just strictly ship fighting that’s it … I didn’t buy it for that reason
The fact that the most fun part about a pirate game is boarding and ship combat, they somehow managed mess up the two most important things
Ok your totally right but... come on the ship combat in Skull & Bones looks pretty epic lol
dude it looks dumb and arcady, ac4 is literally more realistic@@LittleSilva422
@@sadfrog5787 Yeah playing Ac4 like right now lol, watching a fight between like 3 British Man O Wars, 2 British Frigates and 1 Spanish Man O War, while my pirate gleeby ass is watching with popcorn lol
EDIT: they took the fight straight to my direction as i was typing, shit went from 0 to 100 real quick lol
The fact that Unisoft Singapore played a huge role in creation of AC4 - they made almost everything related to water, things like details, sound, lighting etc - and then created S&B hits hard. It is like everything that could go wrong went wrong. Downgrade like that shows that problems on all levels exist... I do not know enough words to properly explain what I feel...
Easy answer: The original devs all quit the sinking ship. If you're on a potentially doomed (i.e. cancelled) project with directionless, revolving-door management with no idea what the game should be, and the job market's still hot, you leave.
"Let's make a pirate game where the main character cannot swim. Sounds like a good idea."
EU put some extreme efforts to prevent the fentanyl drug to reach our land but... we failed in that gravious task apparently. Now it is too late for it, there are zombies everywhere the eye can see...!😱😂

@@dvnth6168 They can drown at least they're not stuck behind an invisible wall lol
A pirate that can't swim...you fucking joking...
5:08 If u look close, the animation for swimming is there, they were just too lazy to implement it.
@@viktorholgersen4920 not lazy to implement it, more like implementing that would complicate things, if he can swim, how far can he go, if he can swim can he jump off the ship and tahtkind of stuff. They just didn't want to deal with it.
Its a ship game.
One Piece 😅
Teaching a sailor how to swim could lead to desertion. Thus, many navies refused to teach their seamen how to swim. Many pirates were former sailors.
So glad to se black flag getting the recognition it deserved. Last game I played on the ps4
They literally had everything already there. HOW do you fuck it up. HOW?!
ubisoft: we're evolving! just backwards ;)

But you can be sure, the recurring revenue generating crap like skins and micro transactions- will be executed perfectly.
More like revolving
How ironic that the game about the open sea has an MC that can't even swim.
Bro ate a Smile devil fruit 💀

I feel like swimming would be pointless and a waste of time, but hey, if you weird people out there want to waste time swimming instead of more important things to do, then be my guest, waste of fucking thing to do imo
@@wrecklesstrain1991ur an idiot how else are you supposed to find sunken treasure
@@wrecklesstrain1991ubisoft bot
I think a lot of the problems boil down to the tech industry in general. Before people became devs because they were passionate and they weren't all that common. That's how you got small teams making masterpieces. Now it's been so commoditized that tons of mediocre devs exist that just want a paycheck with minimum effort put in. They pushed all the passionate experienced devs that get payed for their decades of experience out, well, more specifically the companies did in favor of the cheaper and mediocre devs and it shows in the products. This is an across the board problem. Very few once great dev companies maintain the quality they once were known for.
Man do I miss Black Flag! I think I'll look for it.
And everything ship related in black flag is just a bonus, let that sink in.
Not to defend S&B but despite concerning 2 main story missions, ship related gameplay is 80% of your playtime in Black Flag, otherwise the game gets boring pretty quickly
@@Cesare-Borgia I think Black Flag is an accidental success
Not sure I'd agree... the map in black flag is segmented beyond reason and the citys are small... the navel is the main focus of the open world.
Not really. AC3 had a naval component that was pretty much bonus that you described. They then wanted to make a DLC focusing on that and that scope increased until they decided to make a full fledged game.
The fact that you can’t physically swim or board a ship baffles me…
the absolute audacity of these assholes to charge 70$... this looks like a 40$ budget game not a full price AAA title in 2024.
Don't you know? Ubisoft said this is an AAAA game.
not even 20$
The ship combat looks fun, but no boarding or swimming and other things, what a fucking joke. I truly think gaming has peaked, just look at the travesty that is diablo 4.
good thing ubisoft games devalue pretty quick
@@zozstarpoor you if you think the gaming peaked
Now i´m looking for my Sid Meier´s Pirates Disc up in the attic..
I liked the diving bell missions in BF. It really added that sense of urgency; like every breath could be your last while hiding from sharks and avoiding the eels and jellies!
Ubisoft didn't understand. It was supposed to take everything from Black Flag and expand it to pirates and remove the Assassin's Creed part. Sorry my English!
Its ok , you have nothing sorry
Even with your limited english (in which you made no grammatical errors) you managed to describe what the game SHOULD have been.
English was good only give away that your likely in South America is the Tasmanian devil profile pic 😂🤙🏼
@@BigpapamoneymanMVPtypebeatIs that such a giveaway for us? 😂😂😂
I think you didn't understand. I'm not defending the game. It's bad. But nowhere in its road map did anyone claim it was going to be anything like black flag.
If rockstar works on something for 8 to 10 years we get games like RDR2 and GTA VI.
Meanwhile when Ubisoft "works" 10 year on a game you get a game that looks 15 year old.
Impressing.
Do you think Rockstar should try making a pirate-themed videogame?
@@luke14946Would be interesting but they would drop one masterpiece of a pirate game and never give us another
@@BlueSquareMemes well, they've made multiple GTA games, and more than 1 Red Dead Redemption...
Also, what's wrong with making one pirate game masterpiece, and not making a sequel?
@@luke14946 i would love that
imagine a game like rdr2, only instead of the gang, you would have your pirate crew... don't let me dream
3:56 damn that woman scream "fire" got me off guard 😂
We're there even women on those ships or is this a Ubisoft modern gaming type deal
@@ReachTea being a woman on these ships would be a living hell
@@ReachTeaif there were you bet they were firing another types of cannons
@@ReachTeaWomen pirates did exist since Antiquity. Illyrian pirates were notorious. Entire tribes participated in raiding and piracy, which included women. Pompey earned his title "the Great" by elemenating pirates for good. One of the most famous Illyrians Queen Teuta who was also a pirate Queen and what motivated Romans to expand westward toward Balkans and later Middle East. Vikings also had women as Byzantiens noted unsual ammount of women among the dead when Rus invaded. Sayyada Al-Hurni had a pirate fleet and sailed as privateer for Moroccan Sultan. And there were likes of Anna Bonny who participated as pirates.
To be fair, most of the pirates were men, as the usual background of the pirate were tribal raiders, deserters or muteneers from the navy and smugglers. But pirate societies are less hierarchical which usually allowed rome for more egalitarian society which included between sexes. I say usually, because I don't remember any Greek female pirates or during Renneaisance Italian/Maltese female pirates.
I haven't played that thing and I won't play anything from Ubisoft as their games reached the point where they are not even worth pirating ever since 2014, so I don't know if this thing is trying to be historically accurate or where the setting is (jusging by the sails I assume somewhere in the Indian Ocean)
@@aleksapetrovic6519women pirates were incredibly rare and if included in the game should definitely not be part of the random crew
I just noticed that there IS an animation for swimming in Skull & Bones, but it only happens when you get hit by a wave, which means that not only was swimming planned originally, but it also got cut somewhere along the way... For NO APPARENT REASON.
"Quadruple A" game btw
Rofl.
In which of their twisted dreams exactly?🤣
@@emanueletintori1229
In that one where they successfully implemented NFTs
Aka Quadruple L
Cost more than 110 millions to create this game due to so much restart to zero. Quadruple for x4 the money for not sink...
Remember, guys, $70 is a low price for "The first AAAA game ever created".
It reminds me of that time that Ubisoft compared Watch Dogs with GTA V, to put Skull and Bones in a category ABOVE RDR 2, Elden Ring or Baldurs Gate 3 is just delusional.
It's not the first AAAA game, they said the same for Callisto Protocol 😅
It’s all a foolish marketing ploy that they’re betting on
@@furanhartbad as that game was, at least it had proper facial animations lol
It's above if you look upside-down.
2:24 gotta watch out for those LionSharks
@2:15 When you forget to record the voice lines so you get the devs to gather around the one working microphone in the office lol it always stuck out every time I played this game and now there's finally a place for me to talk about it
Black flag is so far ahead and a 10+ yr old game, it’s actually crazy. I saw that some Ubisoft exec called skull and bones a quadA game. I was astonished when I hopped on the open beta and it looked and played like a small budget indie game with a fraction of the resources, team and funding. When I played the beta for a couple hours my immediate reaction was “I can’t wait to watch the inevitable comparison videos that surely follow this train wreck of a game”.
Its not blackflag ahead of time its modern game industry who fallen behind 20 years where good games are called anomally
@@liszkelthuzad4181 true. What I meant tho was that BF was so far ahead of S&B. Although I thought BF was very impressive for the time back when I played it on launch day.
@@liszkelthuzad4181Indeed. I see this sentiment alot now, about how X game from 10 years ago was "so developed for its time". The elephant in the room is that, in reality, this was simply just the standard for games then, which most people have forgotten about. That standard has slipped considerably. Not just in gaming but all media. I call it 'Marvelification'. Everything more basic, more dumbed down, less creative but also more expensive.
@@harrypike5140 That's why i just dont buy new games expect a really good one, no pre-orders i always pre-watch GAMEPLAY and trusted people who are not paid to say good about game, i bought baldur and had great fun i would even pay for that 70 dollars NO PROBLEM for such a great game here i spend 600 hours but there is no way i even give 40 dollars for half made products so i just stick to my older games or small games who deserve their price hey i even use there micro transactions like i did a lot in poe for example cuz i SUPPORT game which is free to play, but this days scumy devs like blizzard love to triple tax their games for example wow, you pay FULL PRICE for game (even fcking early acces for 70 dollars or more) you pay abonament which is 11 dollars per moth and also expensive item shop ingame, in diablo IV aka crap of the year they just added horse skin for 50$ ... in 70$ product..
just remember. Skull and bones is not supposed to be Black Flag, and never was. It's Ubisoft's version of World of Warships but worse.
Assassin’s Creed IV: *FIIRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
Skull and Bones: fire
*fired
Never got tired of boarding ships in Black Flags. So many different options when boarding from the Daw.(This is what i would call the Jackdaw while chatting to my crew, while seafaring, pirating, boarding and singing)
Swim to the ship,solo kill everyone, then swim back the Daw and board an empty ship.
Or jump from the side of the Daw onto the other ship and raise hell.
Or swing from the rope into an air assassination.
Or zipline to the top, skip through the sails, air assassinate from there or, climb to the top and clothesline or FU the sniper into ocean.
AC Black Flag ending and the song 😎
The memories
This is literally the game they were making outside the Animus
Guys let agree on something that ac 4 is the best pirate game ever made❤
Sure not even close
Sid Myers Pirates has entered the room..

Sea of thieves: Am i a joke to you ?
Watched this video earlier wand was shocked about the dropping of water of the wet clothes, playing assassins creed 2 rn 2009! And it had this detail
If anything, it shows how ahead of its time Black Flag was. Man that was a good game.
Us when we were teenagers: “Oh my word everything looks so realistic I can’t wait to see what games look like in ten years!”

Pathetic times we live in.
🤣🤣☠️
Pathetic eh 😂😂
Seriously. I remember around 2008-2016 or so when every new game was a big improvement. Then things started to flatline and now new games don’t feel like an upgrade at all!
Mucho mejor hace 10 años jjjj😂
Ubisoft had one job the blueprint was already set. They like holding the title for most failed triple A games
Mas jogo não é um triple AAA ele é um quadruple AAAA 😂
It's baffling, how can you screw something up when you already had a blueprint that everybody loved? It's like missing a wide open layup in the game 7.
Black flag was a rare masterpiece, and I'm happy that it maintains it's unique position. Art is hard.
Me, an intellectual, playing sea of thieves for pirating adventures
Fun fact: those distinctive trees seen at 6:44 were actually based on 'Adansonia grandidieri', (one of the 6 endemic species of Madagascan Baobab Trees)

And immediately ruined by the flock of what look like male mallards flying by 😂
A pirate game where you cannot get in the water and swim is a sin.
Because it's about pirates and ships, duhhhhhh
But you can in ac black flag and its same creator and skull and bones is inspired of black flag

The harpooning section of skull and bones looks like one of those mobile game ads
The only thing Black flag lacked is the ability to dive outside the special dive missions. When origin added it i was very happy.
But after using it for 10000 times you forget about it
Odyssey added so much to its seas. The ship/sea stuff is 10 times better than Skull & Bones, and it's not even a pirate game.

Assassin's creed 2 then brotherhood and revelations, prepare for a journey you will not soon forget.
@7thGLM After the Ezio trilogy, play AC3, AC4: Black Flag (which is my favorite), then AC Unity (or AC Rogue before Unity if u want)

And ship running into each other can deal a massive damage

I've got played a ubisoft game for a decade. And I've never been happier lol

Especially for the damage numbers 💔
If you see this numbers in gameplay, its tells you about quality of game 😂 and care from devs😂.

A few years ago I watched a video comparing the animations of walking through water from Black Flag and Watch Dogs Legion, exact same vibes
0:04 the animation recognizing the water body and interacting with it using the hands is also missing from the new pirate AAAA game
Some of you may not have noticed there's no comparison between combat systems or fighting mechanics. That's because Skull and Bones just doesn't have it, combat like with your actual character. You're either on the boat clicking or holding down like it's a mobile game or RTS (even with gathering resources), or you're walking along islands and port areas navigating upgrade ui. Who needs sword-swinging, blunderbuss shooting, swashbuckling combat anyway?
Honestly when I watched the gameplay I couldn't believe there was no gameplay for boarding. I looked at others, did some research and still didn't believe it. How can you create a pirate game without a boarding phase? This is a real question, if anyone here knows a single reason not to do it, please tell me! I can't sleep at night anymore.
@Thomas-sr5mn it's well known that Skull and Bones has been in development hell for the greater part of a decade, and "boarding complete" really does feel like boarding was supposed to be some kind of mechanic with that cutscene indicating that you succeeded. My guess is that they either ran out of time/couldn't complete boarding, or it'll be a dlc like how Oddssey added ground combat to Elite Dangerous.
This game was in development for 10 years btw.
FYI, 6 years
@@Hakeraiden It's actually 10. It started out as Black Flag Multiplayer DLC, but they thought they could make it better and this is what we got after 10 years.
@@Hakeraidenwow kid here you are again coping and trying so hard.... while being wrong...
I've forgotten how fun Black Flag's ship battles looked
Now I have an itch to start a new game on Black Flag.
I thought the no swimming bit couldn’t be topped until I seen the boarding process 🤣🤣
Black flag was the first AC game I played and the one that sparked my love for the series. If they ever remaster the game for new gen I would buy it in a heartbeat
Ply the one before it.. the revolution.. ac 3 … I’m from Boston so I’m half biased but it was my favorite game
@@metrosaint11 I played ac3 and that was a great game too, but I still like black flag more just because of the ship battles and the map is more fun to explore
After a bunch of botched remasters have come out I really don’t want them to remaster that game…. Unless they put an honest effort into it
Also, did anyone else here enjoy rouge? It was basically 3 and 4 combined with the added bonus of having an income
They are making a remake of AC Black Flag, your wish will be come true 😉
I ind it surprising how throughout this whole debate, even across youtube, nobody even brought up how well sea of thieves took on the pirate adventure style
They removed boarding? thats like my second favourite part, you'd swing across to the other ship, shoot a volley of shots, blow up some black powder barrels, kill like 20 people and toss the captain overboard. Then in the cutscene you let the crew go because you have way too many hunter ships after you. but no they cut all that out.
Black flag is currently on sale on the steam store if you’ve never tried yet!!
funny how Black Flag looks like the actual "quadruple " A game compared to Piss and Poop
piss and poop got me rolling
Black flag: pirate game where you can, attack the British, Spanish, or mercenaries, take fortress, swim for across the sea to find secrets that your ship couldn’t reach, dive deep underwater for sunken loot, engage in boarding so you can steal resources from a ship you attacked, steal a ship entirely and add it to your fleet, hunt for animals across the land and sea, engage in actual story and have a assassin’s creed game if you’re a filthily landlubber, and play board games, and so much more.
Skull and Bones: can’t swim, no boarding, only the naval combat from assassin’s creed IV black flag.
If they added the option to get a island in black flag upgrade it. Build new buildings. Defend it from others. Etc etc it would have been the perfect pirate game. What would really make it all is having a whole fleet with you
People saying "Oh, but the graphics are improved" for newer games.
I honestly believe, apart from a few exceptions specifically focusing on graphical fidelity. General game fidelity peaked 10 years ago. Artists did a lot more with a bit less. Now we have massive games that have distracting graphical inconsistencies or flat out poor art direction.
Exactly! Gamers keep talking about graphics, graphic cards, teraflops, 8k, FPS...ok, it's good when you have a game with great graphics, stable and high FPS, but the overall experience it's most important than great graphics. The new Forza Motorsport, for example, mademe miss the old and great Forza Motorsport 4. When I started to play Trepang 2, I thought "the graphics are not great but, man, I loved it!".
Maybe in S&B graphics are better, in black flag ships, sea and fights looks more natural even with 10 years old graphics.
Gutted there is no land sword and hand combat 👀👀👀
Navel combat my dude. If you don't like it, go play Sea of Thieves
@@Hakeraiden I'll gladly play sea of thieves instead of this garbage
@@Hakeraiden gladly, this shit doesnt hold a candle to SOT.
@@Hakeraidenwow the cope for this watered down garage is pathetic. You are drooling over a 70 trash heap. Lmao ubisoft loves you
@@Hakeraidenthat’s why the industry sucks right now. Multimillionaire companies keep putting out crap like this and not only do you defend them, you keep throwing money at them. You’re an idiot.
I'm glad im not the only one who was comparing S&B to BF while I was playing the beta. It seemed so cheap and bland. I kinda liked the take on the harpooning (minus the roaring shark lol) but that was it. I only played for a few hours but failed to see how there was any long term play potential.
They already had the blueprint with BF, they just needed to follow it.
Someone: "Degradation is not exist"
Meanwhile Degradation:
A Pirate game should be:
1. Detailed Naval Warfare like smokes from cannons add cinematic and realistic effect that doesn't dissipate immediately and other effects.
2. Weather system like fogs and heavy thunderstorms which can damage you and your fleet and Ambushes that makes Pirating a dangerous job.
3. Treasure hunting, like a pirate game should have a hideout where you store treasures, enemy prisoners and supplies that you need to protect from spies or the royal navy and treasure maps that you protect from the others or steal and get into fights with other pirate factions.
4. Hunting. Even Rayleigh said that you can't be a pirate if you don't know how to hunt. This also includes diving into shipwrecks or open seas for materials to sell.
5. Crew management and loyalty. Pirating is very dangerous as you work with literal cutthroats and you have to earn reputation to get loyal crew members and Fear for your enemies.
6. Realistic Ship Damages like ship holes, Ship Debris and supplies left on ocean during and after the battle. and torn Sails. not just Health Bars.
7. Talents, Perks, and other RPG elements for you and for your crew.
8. Sabotage and Hijacking other ships.
9. Of course, Ship Upgrades, Supplies and other QOL Elements for survival.
10. Boarding, Stealing ships and then adding those ships to your fleet which protects your hideout and grow your reputation. The enemies should be able to do it against you also.
11. Ability to change Ships based from captured or Bought ships but also gatekeeping progress thru stonks of requirements like repairing and upgrading larger ships vs smaller upgrade requirements for smaller ships.
12. Pirate Mercenaries and Alliances.
13. Sneaking and blending through towns. Buy and sell from the black market, solve problems for reputations and earn relationships with crime lords or factions, recruit, do crimes and evade guards that will try to capture you.
14. Jail time, Jailbreaks, Execution based from your wanted level or notoriety, and Fortress fights. A real pirate game can't be a pirate game without violence bro.
15. Online Multiplayer Coop Experience where you can play pirate with friends.
If this happens, it'll be a 10/10 for me.
Realistic smoke covering miles around ships in a major naval fight, that is a scene worth dreaming off.
Imagine they also recorded authentic sounds from different cannons firing.
I dream of a game like this
I would buy that game
Sea Of Thieves is almost exactly like that
@@pleucido I haven't played that but I would love to try
@@Shineinpoverty yes! smoke makes naval battles such a badass. The sound and light effects of cannons lighting horizontally and the feel of bloodlust after you shoot an enemy warship head on with flying debris and different kind of destructions based from what parts were damaged. damn the detail. 😍
I remember about a year after Black Flag released there was dev talk about a new game being built off the same engine but be fully multi-player. Sad it took this long and looks the way it does.
A pirate game, which turns boarding enemy ships, arguably the most iconic scene of any pirate movie ever made, into a simple generic cutscene, which doesn't even show you boarding the enemy vessel, when the 10yo game it's basically ripping off could do it without issue, is an amazing leap forward for this Quadruple-A title... Hell, there's more Pirate related activities to do in Sid Meier's Pirates, and the very first version of that is almost 4 decades old, releasing in 1987!
Shout-out the new ultra immersive AAAA game😭😭😂
Looks like many of us will just stick with Black Flag lol
2nd comment because a AAAA deserves such attention. The mini game had me in absolute stitches!! This game reminds me when I was 17 and driving my boys around to different pubs and picking them up after they’ve had all the fun. Then I take ‘em home. Ah good times….
I always thought a really cool feature in black flag would’ve been a giant thunderstorm when you begin to go out of bounds
AC Black Flag was what got me hooked into the AC series-so maybe it’s nostalgia talking, but Black Flag does many of these details much better! Black Flag could use a graphical upgrade but the combat and the story is still great. It was fun to just pause the story, go out and destroy ships and see how long you lasted while being hunted.
I winced when the boarding was automatic in Skull and Bones-that was one of the BEST part of Black Flag! You could destroy the ships AND kick ass and take all their stuff! 😂 As a player, I want to feel like a pirate, get invested and involved-I don’t want just a menu. But I guess as an MMO they had to do it that way? Not sure but…totally breaks the immersion.
It’s not nostalgia. It really is that good, bro.
The shanty they singing in skull and bones is from Black Flag, if u didnt know
I love that they took not Caribbean setting in this game, and forced poor Chinese-Indonesian pirates sing English shanties
Saddes thing is you can see the potential, at least in the ship combat. Though in 2024 for a AAA or even AAAA game you'd expect it to be actual physics based to a significant degree.
I’m guessing swimming part is the loading issue. Since it’s a multiplayer game, would probably need to hop between the servers when at sea and on land. But it’ll mess things up if a player decides to just swim out without loading into a different server. Which is the boat serves as the buffer zone I’m guessing.
How to does gta 5 do it.
@@thech33f39 gta doesn’t have a server to be on a ship. Ship is more like an object that interacts with the instance and not the instance itself. It’s like the mission that you do is a new server in gta. You can’t just walk into someone else’s mission without first “signing up” in saying ships in S&B would work similarly. So people can’t just walk into their “missions” and instances by swimming.
Black flag was the last assassins creed I played and it was amazing
I skipped many games after it. But Odyssey, I liked it too.
Not for grinding and clone missions but a setting in ancient Greece.
This game made me fall in love with ancient Greece.
I would recommend it for someone who is into history like myself.
@@Shineinpoverty the only really crappy thing about AC Odyssey was the inability to use a shield. I mean, you play a spartan... and you can't use a shield??? It is in some ways reverse of what they did with AC Valhalla - main hero can't use a single-handed swords. At all. You can use a shield and a greatsword (which shouldn't be in game at all...) but no normal sword ans shield? Also, I think that in Odyssey they got a bit lazy with sidequests - compared to other AC games those feel kinda weird: "My neighbour put some nets where I normally fish, go kill him for me!" or "A client didn't respect me enough, go kill him!" And, as usually for AC games, main heroes outfit is just really weird, but aside from Black Flag it has been the problem with pretty much all of the series - you walk around dressed up like something completely out of place and nobody notices :)
That was a good place to stop. Besides unity there's really been no good ac game since.
2013 was one of the best years in the history of video games, and we didn’t appreciate it.
Speak for yourself
No we did, trust me lol. I understand what you're saying; if we knew what games would be like 10 years from now, we would probably try and treasure it a lot more. But I assure you we most certainly made the most of it.
Not even close, 2004 was the best year.
Tbf if you gave me 10 years to do my homework... I probably still wouldn't have it ready.
I think Ubisoft didn't realize the "It is evolving, just backwards" meme was supposed to be just that. A meme.
I still play Black Flag.
It is still the best One piece... ehm pirates game ever imho.
One of best Ubi games 👍
Black flag looks good and has some good ship mechanics but Sid Myers Pirates is the best when it comes to an actual Pirate game.
Yep i played FC5 even after all their other games in the recent years,Still their last best far cry game.
Yep i played FC5 even after all their other games in the recent years,Still their last best far cry game.
I hope assassin's creed 4 black flag remake 🙏
Why?? They'll just make it worse and less detailed... maybe even throw in their political nonsense of "capitalism bad, socialism good" bullshit.
Naaah,just keep it the way it is!
they are working on a remake actually
Sadly I will place money on Ubisoft cancelling any remake when Skull and Bones flops. They will use the excuse it shows the pirate genre is dead, before admitting they just made a absolute rubbish game. I don’t know whether to be impressed or shocked that Ubisoft has managed to mess this up So badly. It shows just how incompetent the current management are when it comes to what gamers want.
just watch AC 3 vs 3 remaster 💀💀💀
4:04 that ship bouncing off like a rubber ball seemed very off.
im so thankful the my gaming experience growing up as a kid was Games like assassins' Creed, those games really shaped my perception on games and how they will progressively get "better", But games now are carried by good engine and lack any sort of well thought out polish or what i like to call Gamer knowledge on how to make a game feel immersive
Remember, one of these is supposed to be an AAAA title
Assassins Creed Black Flag right?
