Skull & Bones Pirate Hunting Gameplay

- Start date
My E3-Ubisoft-Highlight. Pretty sure I will pick this up Day 1 together with my brother. Loved the sea battles in Black Flag.
Even if I'm getting the game because I love that setting, yeah, just ship battles remains a disappointment. No sword fights in a pirate game...
Was it that hard to make Black Flag 2 without the Assassin stuff?
Anyway, the game looks really good and still seems fun.
Indeed, this game's setting and visuals are just begging to be used in an epic story. As it is, I think I'd get bored pretty quickly.
Still unsure if this is actually fleshed out enough to put a 60$ price tag on it.
It basically looks like AC4 without all the AC stuff.

The ships look already way more varied than the stuff we got in Black Flag. Also Ubisoft is pretty good in sustaining multiplayer-games with new content and updates.
I am glad they concentrate on the ship-battles and don't make this into another AssCreed with millions of useless shit to collect and "exploring" empty islands. Melee-combat in AssCreed is shit anyways - this wouldn't translate well into multiplayer. And for sword-fighting they already have the fantastic For Honor. Better conentrate on one thing and really nail it.
No it's a full-price game. At least it's up for pre-order for the usual 69.99€ german price tag. Will most likely drop to 59.99€ at release.
Why do these so called pirate games keep not putting more focus onto these things? it's insane.
So your going the "talking shit about AC" route on this one?
Cool.
Yeah, my point stands.
Where was I talking shit? We get an AssCreed game almost every year. If you want to explore, collect and melee fight you are covered.
Skull & Bones is about epic shipbattles. Period.
Here:
Yeah, directly lifted from AC4 - a game that has naval battles and a fucking ton of other things to offer.
Anyway, all I´m saying is that I´m not seeing enough to warrant the price tag given that this is basically one mechanic lifted from another game.
And I´m not sure it is fleshed out enough.

Ugh. Should have put in modified ac origins combat and a nice single player campaign with exploration, melee combat, etc. I would have been all over that day one. This looks to get really boring really fast if its only ship combat.
So you think melee combat is good in Asscreed and the collectibles are meaningful and there is a sense of exploration? Fine. I disagree.
I don't even hate AssCreed. I actually really enjoyed it from Ezio-Trilogy until Black Flag. But the fighting, abundance of collectibles and icon-cluttered automap have always been a weak-point and are certainly things I don't want to see in Skulls & Bones.
You edited your post. Sorry I saw that too late.
For the content and price tag we have to wait for the release. I can see why you are worried about that. But like I said in a post before, Ubisoft is normally pretty good in keeping multiplayer-games alive with new content and major fixes. They showed some real dedication with Rainbow Six and For Honor even after their rough starts. So in that regard I more or less trust them.
Yeah if this is ship combat only that's a huge let down. Need on foot island exploration and quests. WIll pick up on sale in 2021 or whenever it's out for a year.
I think this looks absolutely gorgeous. Dat water. But with just navel combat it loses my interest.
If this was a 3rp person pirate RPG or something with land exploration, treasure hunting, etc. I'd be there day one. Oh well, Maybe Ubi will expand on this property in next gen sequels.

is there actual ship destruction and the need to manually fix ship?
like the water go in and you need to run down the dock and fix with wood and hammer?
(cuz I did not see such thing in the video)
or it is like a ship ARPG where only number shows back and forth?
if it is the later than.... I am not too excited.

what was their first bomb this year?
I guess I'm gonna be the different one and say this actually looks like a lot of fun
Probably needs some treasure hunting for a change of pace though
Still this looks like a lot of fun especially to play with friends
Also needs more variety of animations for boarding/repairing etc imo
