I’m sure it’ll be beautiful and soulless like all Ubisoft titles these days
god can this company go under already
Just because it took quadruple the time and money doesn’t make it a quadruple A game.
I played the beta for it and it felt like an F grade video game. Like half a fucking video game. You’re either a ship or a generic avatar walking around random player hub areas.
​
Like no, it’s not Assassin’s Creed 4. There is no on-foot combat. (unless that was added in the last year) You were just a fucking boat, doing boring ass boat stuff. Raiding another ship was pulling up next to it, pressing a button, and watching a little animation. It felt like what somebody would make as a budget game for $20 as their first studio project. Not this thing that has taken what feels like 10 years to make.
quadruple- A game…
Yea fuck off. Of all the things i want for modern gaming development it wasnt another “A”
It was less A’s
Less A-holes running the shit shows and mindless marketing teams.
When I played on the test server, it sure as hell didn’t feel a quadruple-A game.
Can’t believe I got bored by a PIRATE video game.
I only buy AAAAA games
Ubisoft just out here making up words now.
LOL @ AAAA. Mother fucker added three additional A’s to a game that is just A-SS.
I can’t wait for the sub-70 Metacritic score and ensuing sales flop coming its way.
AAAA price for C+ quality
$70 for a Ubisoft copy of Sea of Thieves.
I like most ubisoft games, but when it comes to Skull and Bones, they should just talk about what the game is and the activities we can do in the game. This “quadruple a game” nonsense shouldn’t be talked about, especially in connection with Skull and Bones.
All I wanted was a bigger and newer Black Flag.
AAAA? hahahaha haha hahah
I can sort of see it being a “quadruple-A” game – Awful, Atrocious, Appalling and Abominable.
I hope this flop inspires a wave of AC black flag mods
I did S&B closed alpha and beta. I won’t even do the open beta. There’s to many flaws in the game. And not flaws as in bugs or glitches, but flaws as some base concept of the game.
It’s going to be a tedious, mediocre, graphically subpar game. And the live service will make it even worse. I have absolutely no faith for it.
yves guillemot fucking sucks dude.
Why are they so hell bent on making it their worst rated game yet
This is the kind of game that is made for gamepass. Take your time not your money.
AAA is a rating which usually refers to development budget, not game quality.
Skull & Bones spent like… what… over **10 years** in development!? By that definition I guess you could classify it as AAAA.
Though that’s admittedly not an achievement to be proud of. Seems like it wasted years of development effort
LOL fuckin delusional. Nothing new from Ubisoft though. One of the most disconnected, out-of-touch companies out there. EA 2015 tier.
fuck off ubisoft all your games are reskins of the same thing
Please somebody throw this dumbfuck off his own yacht in the middle of the ocean. Please somebody throw this dumbfuck off his own yacht in the middle of the ocean. Please somebody throw this dumbfuck off his own yacht in the middle of the ocean.
it’s so shit that i uninstalled if after 50 mins or so, fuck…. “you need to play more” is not a valid argument, it’s just bad. ill maybe check it out after 3-4 years but i aint hopeful
dude’s tripping.
I played the closed beta (I’m DL’ing the open beta now). I love the gameplay loop but am not into it for $70
$40, sure.
Any fools willing to buy this game full price deserves the steaming pile of shit thats coming to them.
Oh wait you were serious? Let me laugh even harder.
Absolute moron.
Eat my whole ass, Ubisoft.
That’s one A and DOUBLE S.
#Yeahhhhhhhh…
I’m gonna stick with Sea of Thieves
It’ll be half price in a couple months
