A lot of money did go into making the game. The development cycle was simply hell and they kept having to replace team members and would go years without having a clear idea for the game. So a lot of money was indeed wasted on developing this game.
@@BierBart12 Having played it fairly extensively, a "pirate game" is one of the last things I'd call SPAZ, honestly. Its themes, structure and overall feel are pretty far removed from a proper pirate game, most of its pirate elements come directly from its space-sim heritage.
The boat has stamina!? This confirms my suspicion that these companies know HOW to make games, but they have no idea WHY these systems even exist in the first place. The whole thing becomes this one formalized game system where every game is just a reskin of the other games. So the boat, isn't really like a boat, it's like a character, because they're completely incapable of creating mechanics that correspond to what's happening in the game, because the games are designed by executives that have no idea why any of the systems are in their games. They just check some boxes and call it a day. Stamina bar, leveling up/unlocking skills, crafting, context sensitive "do stuff" button, quick time events... boom that's a game, ship it!
That’s basically what has been happening with these larger studios. A suit will say, make a pirate game since our research shows pirate things are searched for 2% more. They then get presented a proof of concept, and give notes. That’s usually when someone is like “well it needs to be a strong black female lead with no love interest unless it’s a straight white male and the gameplay needs to be more simple, if possible mobile friendly” and we get stuff like this, Banishers, Genshin Impact etc where there’s a cool concept somewhere in there by a real dev with heart but then so many corporate decisions around it we can’t enjoy the thing If devs were just left to their own devices we’d get more project titans where the passion is obvious instead of Overwatch 2 lol
Yeah that part was kinda insane. Like if you could deploy oars and have your crew row for a bit for a burst of speed, sure. It might be a little silly but it would have some kind of explanation. Or maybe they might have sail degredation. Cheaper sails get holes and lose effectiveness over time, not a great gameplay mechanic but again something that makes sense using earth logic. But no, your ship just gets tired from going so fast and you gotta let it rest. There's probably a skill tree to upgrade your ships maximum stamina by small, barely noticeable increments too.
A self-proclaimed “Quadruple-A” game couldn’t even be bothered to properly animate a guy cutting down a tree. Ocarina of Time on the N64 had more nuanced tree-cutting animations…
>"""historical""" game >make nothing about it historical at the risk of losing tiktok zoomer attention or offending bugman sensibilities Many such cases, especially from Ubisoft.
I streamed AC: Black Flag under the guise of Skull and Bones like a true pirate, and got more viewers than active Skull and Bones players. Moose is moving up in the world.
they literally made a spinoff of ac4 called rouge and it had better sea combat too, even tho it was worse than black flag, its incredible how much games regressed in the decade between 2014 and 2024
Interrupting your $70 game with an in-game ad with the text "The premium edition gives you access to the full game" over the words "Long Live Piracy!" makes me think that this is actually a complex social satire masquerading as a real game.
Another ubisoft classic. Trees that can’t be harvested cuz they’re not the tight trees, enemies that pop up outta nowhere as soon as you collect something, paywalls on a fully priced game. All thats missing is the feather kills from ac.

I really don’t get what’s so hard to understand about people rowing the boat getting tired. Still not buying this game because it looks half baked and uninspired like any other new game by soulless huge corporations, but saying “wtf da boat has a staminaA?” Reeeeally makes you sound stupid.
It’s a pirate game, we shouldn’t be rowing skiffs mate. The sails outa do the trick fine. It doesn’t make sense to regain stamina by lifting sail, that’s bass akward. You outta regain stamina by relying on the sail.
Games have been warning you not to play while tired for ages already. "Please take a break between sessions" and all that. Now, warning against playing while high is a first
I'm glad they included the stamina mechanics to allow your sailing ship to catch his breath after a long run. The little details is what makes all the difference.

@@peffiSC2source that's true but the baby rules of conduct thing is still hilariously insulting given the target audience, like Fortnite treats their actual child playerbase less condescendingly than this adult game.
@@ilznidiotic So untrue. The combat in that game was awesome. Swimming in that game was awesome. Boarding other ships in that game was awesome. Exploring islands and hunting was awesome. The story was amazing. The new perspective on AC was perfect, it was a great AC game. The stealth was incredibly fun, if a bit simple and behind. This is pathetic, you can’t do any of that stuff yourself anymore. It’s a downgrade in every way. They didn’t reskin Blackflag, they failed to copy it. Blackflag even had a massive spike in players because of how awful this game was.
I mean as afr as gameplay exist it makes sense to have a code of conduct but out of that context it's such a stupid thing to hear for pirates to play fair, be respectful and be safe.
Until you remember you can't pirate this because the multiplayer requires Ubisoft's cancer launcher. Unless you just want to play the single player I guess. Who the hell would want that.

Micro transaction riddled hellish garbage that generate profit from weak minded individuals that defend multi billion dollar corporations.

It's really part of the game. They literally have a "healer" ship where you shoot healing cannonballs at friendly ships to give them more health. I have no words
Elden Ring: Finally makes it so you don't spend stamina for out of combat movement (unlike their previous games) to better facilitate an open world environment. Skull and Bones: Open world game, invents *boat stamina* that's basically only relevant in out of combat movement. That last A stands for "innovation".
It at least makes sense in many contexts. Here it literally just seems like something there to act as an impediment to the player and stretch out the playtime with pointless stamina recovery.
If you are gonna implement stamina in your games,you should atleast have it interact well with other aspects of the game I liked how skyrim did it:make it regenerate faster out of combat and have a bunch of stuff interact with it I started modding it away on games that just implements it for the sake of implementing

AAAA is the exciting new subcategory of video games where 99% of your million dollar budget goes to marketing and 1% goes to making the game
That's been most games for the past Decade.
As a general rule: The more a game is advertised to you, the worse it's going to be
Actually most of it was spent vacationing from what I remember. Was even gonna be a whole lawsuit about it lol
100-300 million dollar budget, believe me it's not just 1 million
A lot of money did go into making the game. The development cycle was simply hell and they kept having to replace team members and would go years without having a clear idea for the game. So a lot of money was indeed wasted on developing this game.
@erikh5512 very true. ive been in those thoughts but only recently confirmed with a couple of specific releases. (not from aaa companies)
the fourth A stands for Ass which is the part of a pirate that Fluppy jumps out of

Space Pirates And Zombies is still one of the best pirate games, and it had a tiny budget
@@BierBart12 Having played it fairly extensively, a "pirate game" is one of the last things I'd call SPAZ, honestly. Its themes, structure and overall feel are pretty far removed from a proper pirate game, most of its pirate elements come directly from its space-sim heritage.
Why waste my ssd space for this when there's plenty of other good games
The boat has stamina!? This confirms my suspicion that these companies know HOW to make games, but they have no idea WHY these systems even exist in the first place. The whole thing becomes this one formalized game system where every game is just a reskin of the other games. So the boat, isn't really like a boat, it's like a character, because they're completely incapable of creating mechanics that correspond to what's happening in the game, because the games are designed by executives that have no idea why any of the systems are in their games. They just check some boxes and call it a day. Stamina bar, leveling up/unlocking skills, crafting, context sensitive "do stuff" button, quick time events... boom that's a game, ship it!
That’s basically what has been happening with these larger studios. A suit will say, make a pirate game since our research shows pirate things are searched for 2% more. They then get presented a proof of concept, and give notes. That’s usually when someone is like “well it needs to be a strong black female lead with no love interest unless it’s a straight white male and the gameplay needs to be more simple, if possible mobile friendly” and we get stuff like this, Banishers, Genshin Impact etc where there’s a cool concept somewhere in there by a real dev with heart but then so many corporate decisions around it we can’t enjoy the thing
If devs were just left to their own devices we’d get more project titans where the passion is obvious instead of Overwatch 2 lol
It's chinese
Yeah that part was kinda insane. Like if you could deploy oars and have your crew row for a bit for a burst of speed, sure. It might be a little silly but it would have some kind of explanation.
Or maybe they might have sail degredation. Cheaper sails get holes and lose effectiveness over time, not a great gameplay mechanic but again something that makes sense using earth logic.
But no, your ship just gets tired from going so fast and you gotta let it rest. There's probably a skill tree to upgrade your ships maximum stamina by small, barely noticeable increments too.
I'm convinced the Ubisoft dev team has been replaced by an AI.
a simple change of words would do the trick: Sailors Stamina or Sails Health etc..
