Skull and Bones is disappointing

[u/Monkey-Honker]

So I got into the Beta, you get to play for 6 hours. This game is not what I was expecting. Online only game and due to this the visuals aren't all that great. Out of the 4 tasks I've done three were fetch quests. The voices don't quite match the mouth oddly.

We could have had a really good single player story here and online functionality similar to Sea of Theives but unfortunately it's far from it.

Waited ages for this but genuinely disappointed in what they've come out with.

They should have killed this game a long time ago.

Ubisoft struck Gold with Black flag, made two spin offs that were un popular. Than basically side lined the mechanich for a decade.

Black Flag was good because ubisofts open world formula works great with pirates. Skull and bones would benefit more from being more "generic" / "Ubisoft fourmulaic"

S&B leans closer to stuff like Avengers and other live service games.

They couldn’t cancel it because of some deal they made. They would’ve been in a lot of legal trouble if they officially canceled the game.

Yeah the government of Singapore subsidized them in exchange for Ubi hiring people from Singapore and their Singapore studio releasing original IPs(one of which was Skull&Bones)

Assassin's Creed Rogue was pretty good, the story was one of my favorites out of the series... but I'll admit I completely ignored the ship aspects of it.

I played it waaaay to close to Black Flag, so all the ship grinding felt tedious for such a short game. Having a ship felt more relevant in Odyssey where the map is mostly islands to sail to and explore.

What was the Black Flag spinoff other than Rogue?

That was a DLC though wasn't it?

Yeah but it had a standalone release
