    The fact that boarding enemy ships is just a cutscene is a such a fundamental misunderstanding of why people bought a pirate game. It would be the equivalent to playing Minecraft and the process of building a house is a cutscene

    I think we can all agree that for $70, Ubisoft is the real pirate here.
    But seriously, as a naval history nerd I feel pretty confident in saying that pirate games inherently appeal to those who at least have a slight affinity towards history. It would’ve been really cool if they leaned into that. Accurate ship models, accurate weapons and gunnery, accurate tactics. You could’ve done all of this while still making it accessible to a wider audience. But I guess we’ll just have another Ubisoft financial dommy-mommy

    Ubisoft already made one of the greatest pirate games ever. All they had to do was make AC 4 online but with some extra character and ship customizations. Assassination missions, some SoT style treasure hunts and some dungeons to explore, keep it updated, keep the world evolving and keep the lobbies populated. They would probably have even gotten away with using a very similar map, it was gorgeous, make it slightly bigger and modernize it a little and boom, perfect game. Literally that easy

      ​@@XenonArcher As someone whos played black flag many times over it feels somewhat similar in terms of controls. But I honestly prefer the feel of black flag. Black flags sailing always felt quite weighty in a good way while your ship feels quite floaty in this. Also changing sail speed in black flag always felt super responsive while in this i sometimes found myself mashing the button to make it switch. I also prefer the aiming system in black flag with the wave shape that you can adjust for broadsides etc. It just feels like a turret that you have to lead your shots with in this. Another thing I personally am not a fan of is how numbers pop up when you do damage. Makes the game less immersive and more 'gamey'. Black flags combat felt very visceral with the sound design and lack of numbers but thats personal preference. Another factor might be how in Black flag your camera is almost like if you're on the ship but in skull and bones its zoomed out like your on travel speed from black flag all the time which again I dont really like.

      I never had issues with the sailing. This game feels responsive. Maybe a little too responsive I guess. But again, if I'm in pvp I'd rather that than unresponsive clunky gameplay like blackflag, which btw, is absolutely what AC4's ship controls was like. But it worked cus it was single player.
      Combat is soooooooo much slower in black flag, it's unreal lol.
      This is a pvp game. If S&B had AC4 SHIP mechanics and combat, it would suck vastly more than it currently does.
      The ship combat is much better for the kind of game this is. An mmo.

And playing it as such is actually a lot of fun. That said, it's certainly not worth the asking price (personally, 30 bucks would have been an insta-buy, but given the situation, they may have shot their own foot not making it a F2P model), and certain features would have been nice, even given this format, like the ability to customize the crew, including strenghts and weaknesses of crew members.

I sank so many hours into that game and I've played the fan remake a bit but while a lot of the mechanics don't really hold up in current days as much it was so well rounded and way ahead of its time back when I played. Also the community was fantastic! There were these big server wide events on the islands fighting off invasions and they were some of the most fun I've ever had in a game. There was also fantastic ship combat with or without crews. There was a great variety in combat with guns, swords, grenades, etc and even a few voodoo type magic weapons like in the movies. It was all just such a great time and I've been waiting the last like 16 years for another pirate game that could scratch that itch for me.

      It is a great game, one of the best pirate games, but it is a terrible AC game. They should have released it as its own thing, a new IP, "Black Flag". It would be a better game if the effort that went into making the Assassin's Creed plot and gameplay was dedicated to making a pirate story and pirate focused gameplay. That is what I was hoping for with Skull and Bones all those years ago, a game that fixes and refines the janky melee combat and ship-boarding of Black Flag.

    All we needed was black flag's sailing but without the assassin's alien precursor storyline. They took that, gutted everything and said "This is AAAA" no. This game reeks of free-to-play with the quality that we'd be celebrating if it were an indie dev, but not a massive behemoth of a company. I look at the roadmap and what I see is "This will have a battlepass and be microtransaction galore", which shortens to "I will not be buying this game".
    What this game needs: Player personality, crew building, notable characters, ground combat, boarding combat, walking around your ship, captain's quarters, fleet building, maybe even some settlement stuff, and definitely the whailing minigame where you can drop the longboat down.
    I would rather go back to my Black Flag save and just sail around post-game with no story to do, rather than play Skull & Bones.
    Also, ship customisation. While it's cool and all to have all the different ships and stuff that you can buy in order to make and then upgrade, it'll never beat the tuned experience of having "Your Ship" like the Jackdaw. A ship that was designed specifically to play the game with, that the various ships in the game were tuned around the upgrading of and the feeling you get when you have the fully upgraded Jackdaw and can take down Man-o-War after Man-o-War.
    With this game you start on your little raft ship huckin spears at sharks, then you go get the small ship by buying the schematics, then grinding timing minigames, then returning to the hub to build it. How to make this better? Well how do you get the Jackdaw or the Mulligan? You take it. Imagine if you boarded a ship that you took down, then got to choose - as in Black Flag and Rogue, whether to take the ship, scrap the ship, or send it to a trade route, or even adding the pirate hunter mechanic. I'd be incentivised to upgrade that ship in order to take on a bigger ship and own it instead.
    I'm rambling, but the take-away is that the game is not worth my time, and I am saddened by that.

Instead of giving five generic options to please everyone, better to just design a character from the jump and go all in on him/her, ie RDR2.

"Over there, the British Fleet!"...Seriously? Does that sound like what pirates would say? Could they maybe add some personality to anything?

    The combat is so unique they have a chance to hone in on it and add some fishing stuff to focus the game play, but the problem is that UBI doesnt do that. GR Wildlands taught us a lot about how they view potential, and where they put development dollars, and really lost steam due to the lack of depth and polish.

    So in terms of boarding mechanics. It seems like it would be best for you to have crew as a resource. Let them swing or jump off the ship and die if they must. You'll have to go to port and hire more. Realistically boarding should only be allowed on xtra large ships, smaller ships with outnumbered crews should surrender. If we want the player character/captain to have plot armor, just make it so he doesn't leave the wheel. Let the character press Y to play as a boarding member and fight with the boarding party. If another player ship shows up the player character can press and hold to abandon the boarding to deal with the new threat. Your crew will run back onto your boat and sever the ropes. Crew could play into the economy as a resource with upkeep costs that you have to manage. Make players choose whether to have more ammunition stores or bunks for extra crew. Let players choose where these are located on the ship so that they strategically keep their bow or port side enemy facing to prevent the ammunition store from being hit.

    If you want..

Its a great Experience for People that are new to classic Games and classic Games lovers! :) Sometimes a little difficult because you have to level up your Character and Ship but it feels good and rewarding when you progress, capture other ships (yes you can capture ships and make them your own new ships or sell them...or sink them..) and hire officers that either work for you as canonners, navigators or have npcs that walk with you and help you with fighting on land.

    There’s always something worrying about when developers have been working on a game for over ten years.

    Pirate of the Caribbean Online. Released by Disney in '03 was the GOAT of pirate games or even MMORPGs in my humble opinion. It was everything WOW was and so much more. I could write for hours about it but you gotta see it for yourself.
    The Disney version shut down (i remember the closing event too) but a passionate community managed to recreate the game and launch it by just removing any trademark Disney property calling it "the legend of pirates online" plus the original featured a free tier capping the level lower and what you can unlock in the game and an unlimited tier. The remake is fully free so we all get unlimited access.
    As for what you said about unfinished games I think that is due to using agility as a project mangment approach instead of traditional V cycles. Meaning it used to be a game would stay in development until all features where created and tested and validated and then version 1 would be the ultimate version with maybe a bit of patching if major bugs are found. Today they sequence the game into many unfinished versions and as soon as it's at least capable of running they ship it and then continue working on newer versions through updates. I learned the lesson never to buy a game on release unless it's something I've been anticipating a lot.
    And of course anything "live service" that isn't also "free to play" can forget it.

    I was in the Open Beta. At first the service was shit, but I thought that something was wrong on my end. I turned my settings all the way down and ended up frustrated and quitting thinking I was just done. The next day I got on at 0300 and it was running fine, turned settings up step by step to Ultra settings. Ran smooth and fast.
    I agree that the story at first was go hunt this, go collect that, go mine something else, attack this ship, raid that town... but, that was to introduce you to the stuff.
    I finished that introduction and went off on my own, ended up in the middle of the ocean surrounded by the French and some Pirates that were both hunting me down in a massive storm. I did some evasion and ended up flying off a huge wave, got air and damaged my ship. I got in a team up fight raiding a village, another against a badass captain, and a "what was that?!" sea monster. That was fun. I had fun.
    I cannot wait to buy it for ~$30.

    I totally agree with your opinion on pirate games, thanks for saving me $30. I think the best pirate game out there would have to be Sea of thieves because it has all of that "life" you mentioned and it also lets you get off of your ship and do stuff on foot, actually board other player and npc's boats, actually steal loot, the list goes on. A pirate game advertised as a pirate game should make you feel like a pirate when playing. Watching gameplay of Skull and Bones gives me the impression that it's similar to "Twisted Metal" but with good graphics, customization, and it's with boats not cars.

    sid myers pirates was an absolute banger of a game, But nothing has yet to compare of the wanders that was black flag. The ship combat was crisp, the exploration was incredible, the ground combat was good ole classic assassins creed style, the resources for crafting were challenging and fun to obtain and worth it! I have been dying for a game to match black flag or for Ubisoft to remaster it.

    I played the free trial and I agree 100% to what Jake said. I was extremely bored to the point I stopped playing after a hour and a half. Games as a service always have bothered me, I like a ending, not a continuous loop. It's definitely not worth $70, the one bright spot was I had 6 hrs of game trial left...if you want to spin it in a positive direction.

      At least in WoW, you have some momentum and mass to the ships.
      Skull and Bones ships have very little actually presence(you cant "feel" the ship), which is probably why you get so much cosmetic stuff, so that you at least notice the ship(and not the poor animations involving the ship, like turning cannons, moving sails, crew etc.).
      One is a free to play game with a cash shop, the other is a "AAAA", full price game, with a cash shop.

    The fact that you can’t even recruit or customise your crew is a travesty. Not being able to board ships and essentially playing as the ship: yeah, sure, whatever, I could deal. But not being able to choose your crew? That’s a stupidly simple part of the role play, even if it’s just another character creator screen for the crew or a random NPC generator screen. Ubisoft have all of that stuff in other games that they could have implemented. Watch Dogs Legion’s core concept was about that.
    Recruiting people through story missions and choosing who was on my raid team was a part of Valhalla that I really really enjoyed. They should have implemented all of that system that they had in Valhalla, including the custom character recruitment, where you could recruit other player’s characters.

    It is 100 percent fair to compare this to black flag. The reasons: this was made by the same dev team, and it began as a DLC to black flag and they decided it was good enough to be its own game. So these people know how to do it and even had the framework in place when development began. There is NO EXCUSE to be missing features.
