Should’ve made this a AAAAA game if they wanted people to play it.
It was doing worse before it even released
I can’t believe people actually bought skull and bones.
You mean a video game based on a well known IP is outselling a game that most forgot about after the beta? Fascinating.
I’m not surprised? Who’s surprised? If they asked their customers what they wanted maybe they wouldn’t have made this heaping pile of trash
This, and suicide squad, and every other cashgrabber failed live service games happens when studios make games for shareholders and not actual gamers
I just can’t believe they spent that long on a pirate version of world of warships when they could have just spent a year and made a black flag sequel or something. It’s hard to imagine a motivated group of people working on anything for a decade and having such shitty results.
I felt like suicide squad would be the benchmark of bad games for a while, didn’t expect it to get dethroned so quickly.
Respect the gamers, not the shareholders. Played it in beta, full release too expensive and meh.
Do the quadruple a’s stand for avoid?
More like LLLL game.
We have spoken.
No surprise there
To make a good game you need to have somebody at the top with creative vision. If you put a soulless fat cat in charge they make money based on misunderstood metrics and greed and you get crap like these games.
47th most played game on xbox less than a month after release… That’s hilarious.
Imagine we would have gotten a Sid meyers Pirates remake instead of this with a bigger map and more different ships and locations
It’s not surprising but really sad that games like this still get released over and over again. Or better games than this but in a unplayable release state. That’s just sad.
Where are all the fanboys defending it?
Hahahaha
Honestly, it’s as if they only cared bout milking wallets, not satisfying gamers. No wonder skull and bones is a dumpster fire
Bad games do bad
It’s so Mind blowing how hard they fucked this up. All they had to do was take bits of black flag and add to it and pump it out. Didn’t help they took way way to long
I mean, Sea of Thieves is finally coming out on PS5, I’ll just play that. I’ve heard it’s fantastic!
Games like these make me as a millennial gamer look back on Too Human and go. “Maybe we judged you too harshly”
Is anyone actually surprised?
Anyone who was in the technical tests at any point in the last 2 years knew the game was trash. I think that’s why there isn’t even collective outrage about SaB; no one cared in the first place.
DONT GIVE IN TO SUBSCRIPTION BASED GAMING. Keep purchasing power for individual games in our hands. That allows us as a community to make or break games with our money.
you see the AAA and AAAA gaming industry hates gamers. Thinks we are suckers (and at times we have been – I am still angry, having spent $100 to play the most broken and boring game of my life 3 days early with starfied), aggressively takes advantage of us at every opportunity. We have to remind ourselves that we are not struggling against developers, NO, it’s against these suits. These narcissistic suits that have no artistic vision.
When suits at gaming studios see that they are losing market share to games like Lethal Company (made by one person). They are going to say ok you dont want our game we will force our games on you kinda thing. They will use subscription based gaming and live service games of your favorite IP’s (they will 100% ruin them). HOLD THE LINE. stop putting any money into these lost gaming studios. Opt for games that give you an authentic experience without creating algorithms to waste your time and money.
Money talks. Thats the only way with these suits. once they realize they have to provide a good game to get the big bucks they will fail or be forced to change
Lets compare 2 piles of dog shit.
I enjoyed the part where the main character skull and boned everywhere.
Multiplayer, live service garbage. Give me a good single player game any day.
They will blame the gamers. All they had to do was take Black Flag and make an expansion… but nope.
I’m so happy BG3 and Tears of the Kingdom came out in the last year. I haven’t had to play a bad game all year or gamble on a game all year. It’s been a year of bangers for me. Probably have sunk about 600 hours into those 2. And I really have little reason not ot keep playing them.
I hope more than anything Larian gets to make BG4, but whatever game comes from them next will likely be a banger. As long as Sven is running the company I cannot see duds coming from them.
Me: can I have black flag but with co-op and competitive multiplayer?
Ubisoft: <bugs bunny no meme>
Took 10+ years to make a multiplayer version of the boat minigame from AC3 and they still cant get it right.
I played the open beta for like 10 minutes. Nice looking game, but man the interface was SOOOO clunky.
Thats music for my ears!!!
Now we just need that companies learn something with those flops and delusional speeches “this garbage is AAAA and need be more expensive than our same thing annually rereleased trash” and gaming world will be a better place
The age of piracy is over
We see it as a massive failure. The company sees it as a massive success. They got their money. We need to vote with our wallets and not our voices.
Good
Not surprising. It has horrible reviews but, unlike Suicide Squad, it has no IP to pull in sales. There will inevitably be fans of the Suicide Squad characters that’ll pick up that game regardless of reviews and that doesn’t really exist with Skull and Bones.
Two games both such bad flops and it’s about time we stood up to these games.
AAAA what a joke game 😂😂😂
I can’t believe Ubisoft was this stupid when the answer was actually easy.
They just had to copy AC Black Flag and remove the AC part. It was that simple.
But nope !
Impressive that they managed to fuck up this bad
Hahahahahahaahahahahhaahahhaha…. *deep breath* ahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha
Nooo. That can’t be..
They took all the good things from black flag. The awesome pirate gameplay ( ok they removed that) and the boarding and fighting on ships after a hard battle ( ok they removed that) and the immersive story ( ok they removed that) and all the treasure hunting ( ok they removed that too) and the whole building your own pirate island ( Allright they left that out) along with conquoring fortresses ( eh yeah. That’s gone too) as well as chasing down resources with more exploration to upgrade ( ok ok none of that)
But other than that it’s basically black flag! The lost popular of the old AC games.. I can’t understand why this isn’t a huge success!
When you name a game “skull and bones”, is it a surprise that it’s a dead game?
People keep saying “for the shareholders”…yet with the budget this game had, and considering it may not even breakeven, I’d imagine the shareholders are going to be pretty upset with this. Or at the very least, people who are responsible to shareholders.
Ubisoft is looking at losing millions of dollars on this, and probably will probably take years to see a reasonable “profit” made from this game, which is a failure. Whether or not they learn a meaningful lesson from this, fuck em. Ubisoft deserves to fall flat on their face for all the shit they’ve pulled in the past several years. And I hope their shareholders are pissed off by the poo poo crap that is Skull & Bones among other garbage they call games.
“Hey you know how you loved AC Black flag? We’ll make it with better graphics!…. And worse combat. And shit cosmetics. And less substance. And just generally worse….. that’ll do it!”
