Let’s see how the industry’s first quadruple A game pans out.
got it yesterday for 38€ from and I really like it. Reminds me a lot of the old Freelancer, you sail, you fight, you trade, you upgrade your gear and ship and I don’t care for the hand to hand combat or the lang gameplay of Blackflag cause this were actually the things I liked the less.
The review is pretty fair and somewhat agrees with you.
Glad you're enjoying it!
“Didn’t played the beta”
Grammar hard, apparently.
Fixed.
I don’t expect it’d even be worth $20 to me, but I can sort of understand the online appeal. Sometimes having a relatively basic game happen in a shared open world, where people can choose to cooperate, adds some fun moments. The Division and Sea of Thieves would be examples of that. Watch Dogs 2 also had some very good times where you might be driving around, and without any “prompts” or loading, have a chance to join a midcity chase with/against another player.
I had no idea this had been released.
Lost me at “it’s cool to be a pirate.”
So if this wholly relies on
No, it doesn’t. But you stopped watching the video.
That said, it is a legitimate argument. Just like “it’s cool to be Spider-man” is a reason to pick up Insomniac’s recent games.
SkillUp argues that in a vacuum, and for a reduced price, Skull and Bones is a decently functional game. But it doesn’t exist in a vacuum and Black Flag is better in (almost) every way.
No offense but maybe you didn’t pay close enough attention, since I got all of that but it relies on what I said for it to be true wholly.
The video starts with him stating that objectively the game, in context of its development is a complete mess.
The he stated that he found he was e joying the 20 hours he spent with the game and asked himself why?
Then he stated factually that the game was fun because it is just flat out cool to be a pirate.
He described the things he thought were cool about being a pirate all of which I found to be lame.
Then he used those lame pirate things to justify the argument that in a vacuum the game isn’t bad.
Lost me at “it’s cool to be a pirate.”
should have watched it further…
I did watch it further and that statement is quite a bit into the video already.

Quadruple A? How do they determine how many A’s a game gets? How to we know they actually mixed all 4 A’s in with the recipe and not 3.5 of them?

It’s simple:
The more A’s on a game the shittier it is. Skull and Bones is a monumentally shit live service game. It deserves that extra A.

Horror games get the most A’s, by far.
