“You will see that Skull and Bones is a fully-fledged game,” he said. “It’s a very big game, and we feel that people will really see how vast and complete that game is. It’s a really full, triple… quadruple-A game, that will deliver in the long run.”

It is so AAAA that i heard about it for the first time now.

Meanwhile there is amazing games from 20 years ago, that are still enjoyable to replay again and again, finding new stuff with every play through.

Still not buying it, it looks bland.

“My BOAT has STAMINA?!”

It’s janky and lame, from the videos I’ve watched.

"I'm gonna be skull and bones by the time I load into the game."

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

To quote a certain video creator: Skull and bones is literally skull and bones, there is nothing there.

Personally not surprised seeing as its an Ubi live service title

World's first AAAA game, guys.

This is the rpg where you join the “not a fraternity” in college and then go on to become a political or business leader of the United States, right?

It's a pirate action rpg

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Is this the game that encourage digital piracy?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

It doesn't look like it's worth the bandwidth

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Almost down to the correct price of Free.

Not a big surprise to any gamer out there. It was even considered dead on arrival for a while.

Another Ubi game I'll gladly skip, the last one I've played being The Crew 2.

Genuinely curious… Do they make any good games? When I think of Ubi, I think of crappy launchers, having to sign into some bullshit account and mediocre games. I tried that Viking assassin’s creed game and it was trash, but I admit I don’t like any of the assassin’s creed games. What’s their killer app for someone who would give the game a fair chance?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I thoroughly enjoyed the first Watch Dogs and that's about it. Having to get through their launcher sucks big time, yes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

I also really liked Watch_Dogs, even the sequel. But I also just really like Chicago

Best I can do is 3.99

Could this failure sink ubisoft? With the scamming of the singaporean government and everything

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Price cut on 'Skull and Bones' already? Must not be smooth sailing for them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Cool. Anyways still won’t buy it.
