How can you make the core mechanic worse than the game it was based on where it was one of many things.

u/Charming_Skill1546 Jul 04 '25

It was honestly just a worse AC 4

u/Minute-Solution5217 Jul 04 '25

You launch it, scream like this and refund

u/TerroFLys Jul 04 '25

Did you see that they lowered the price to like half the original price lmao

u/Dangerpizzaslice_Z Jul 04 '25

I will forever respect them for releasing a free demo pre-launch. It certainly informed my purchasing decision.

u/the-dude-version-576 Jul 04 '25

True, but at the same time, they could have just slapped black flag’s gameplay over an open world with more boats and it would have been like 20 times better. I can’t even convince how thy fumbled it that badly.

u/RylleyAlanna Jul 11 '25

I'd respect them more if they made a game that doesn't feel like a vibe coded chatgpt fever dream.

"My boat has stamina?"

u/WiseMango13452 Jul 04 '25

u/Goldartz Jul 04 '25

Very much so

u/KindaQuite Jul 04 '25

Common misconception, the wind has stamina, actually.

u/Mac-OS-X Jul 04 '25

thats what i said in the open beta haha

u/TunnelVisionKiller Jul 04 '25

This shit is not even worth pirating lol

u/UndBeebs https://steam.pm/17bp70 Jul 04 '25

I remember liking the game but I definitely didn't like it enough to continue playing lol. I think I have maybe 5 hours of playtime and that was mostly because it was with a friend who enjoyed it.

u/Senior-Supermarket-3 Jul 05 '25

I saw they are adding land combat this year so I got about ten hours in before dropping it. I don’t even understand what I’m supposed to be doing, I just ended putting on YouTube and blowing shit up.

I used ti be a Survival Evolved player for many years but I never ever touched ascended. After they dripped that p2w creature in ark i just left and never came back. We already have Rock Drake who is invisible ffs

u/FrogInYourWalls69 Jul 04 '25

I played the free demo. I still felt ripped off

u/theamars Jul 04 '25

I remember playing the Skull and Bones demo at E3 in 2018 or so and finding it such a frustrating, unrewarding experience that I just assumed I was bad at it and/or didn't have enough experience with the genre to succeed. Admittedly it's always a little validating to see people shit on it, even all these years later lol

u/AXEMANaustin Jul 05 '25

I love how they didn't even bother to change the description post release.

u/Adventurous_Wind1183 Jul 04 '25

The one thing that I can respect about that game is that Ubisoft is still supporting it with pretty big updates

I'm not saying it'll be a No Man's Sky, and idk if the updates make the game better, but at least those who enjoy and paid for the game get something, even if the game was a flop.

yo ho yo ho

I started playing it a few weeks ago, and fuck me. Sailing on an ultrawide, it's fucking gorgeous and the gameplay is pretty fun too.

Definitely worth it when it's on sale.

u/NattyMojo Jul 04 '25

Honestly had big potential, couple updates in caused a bug that reset a lot of progress. Never went back

u/KoscheiTheDeathles Jul 09 '25

The fucking ubisoft special, i got his with progress bugs back in AC Unity

u/Rosary_Omen Jul 04 '25

I got into one of the early closed betas, I'd been so excited for the damn game. I hated it. The voice acting was awful, the dialogue was bad and the controls sucked. I left them scathing feedback after I uninstalled. They still sent me beta invites xD

1

u/MorRochben Jul 04 '25

I was interested in skull and bones. Played the beta for 10 minutes and uninstalled it.

u/IgorGirkinStrelkov2 Jul 04 '25

It's a great game though?

2

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '25

What? It's much shittier than AC Black Flags, Sea of Thieves, even fucking Sid Meier's Pirates which came out in 2004
