That’s fair, I don’t know how I’d make ships climb the radio towers either.
For anybody slow as me that took an eterny to understand what the hell this comment had to do with anything…
It’s a reference to the Ubisoft mechanic seen on most of it’s open world games of going to a tower, in this case a reference to Far Cry so it’s a radio tower, and do/activate something and that “scans” and add to the map points of interest in that zone around the tower.
To me, blackflag was fun because it was single player (my fav AC game by far) . If they made another single player pirate game I would play the shit out of it
I would do unspeakable things to get a Sid Meier’s: Pirates! Live the Life style game, but with Black Flag controls/graphics.
Honestly, I got a Ship-of-the-Line in that game once when I was like 13, and every game from then on I hunted for them trying to capture a whole fleet, but they were pretty rare.
I want that feeling of “I’m hunting for a specific ship and country/cargo” again. Black flag is still my all time favorite AC
Thats a million dollar idea right there, too bad the game would be too big for an indie company to produce and triple A studios are too dumb to invest on new ideas.
I think it’s one of those “it will be profitable, but not in a short enough time for it to boost my career” kind of games. There is plenty of interest, just not enough for big sales right out the Gate, which is what AAA companies want.
I’d be aboard.
Black Flag is still my favorite AC. I never finished the story, because I enjoyed sailing the seas and singing along to shanties.
I finished it once and then went New Game+ and just sailed and sailed.
Only game I never uninstall, just use it to relax.
You should really finish the story, the ending is amazing imo. The story starts weak and the middle is kinda meh but the ending… Soooooo good
Oh no, seems like I have to start all over. Yay :D
Haha have a good one!
Is this not single player? I was always under the impression this was a spiritual successor to black flag
I think they intended it to be single player but then thought they make more money with a multiplayer game as a service
Ahh, colour me disinterested.
It was until Sea of Thieves got popular for a week
Then they scrapped it and started over to copy that
Just let it die, Ubisoft.
Singapore keeps throwing money at it, Ubisoft takes it in and let’s Ubi Singapore work on that dumpster fire.
You have a source for that? I’ve only seen Ubi is on the hook for the money used if the game doesn’t ship
Nope. The only known “fact” is that Ubisoft was given a grant by Singapore which obligated them to release it at some point. Can’t imagine why Ubisoft would keep that thing in development for so long instead of just releasing anything if it wasn’t for external money that they don’t have to care about.
why?, valve keep the game in development for longer, and in the end if worth, why can’t ubisoft do the same?
Meanwhile SoT churns out content and updates, maintaining a very active and solid population over the years. Plus full PvE mode coming soon which will be fun for a lot of players wanting to casually enjoy all the Tall Tales content.
I can imagine a lot of SoT players giving it a go, just to go back. I think the ship’s sailed on this one.
What’s SoT?
Sea of Thieves
Ok
Full PVE mode?? Ah Yeah!! Do we know when? aprox?
They cancelled so many other games but they keep this one alive? Any bets that they’re going to try to make it a PvPvE extraction shooter game that will be DOA?
From what I understand, Ubisoft received a grant from the Singapore government that basically mandates this game be published, as opposed to the recent Hyenas cancelation.
Relevant quote;
The company, in exchange for generous subsidies, is required to hit a certain hiring quota and launch original IPs in the next few years, making it imperative that the title gets shipped by hook or by crook – final look notwithstanding.
Right, but they should have just released it knowing it was going to die, unless they continue to receieve funding if they keep delaying it? Its just a money pit by this point and the faster they dump it the faster they can stop sinking money into it.
It’s been established for a couple years now that it’s already going to be DOA. Ubisoft games almost are as a default these days, but this one in particular seems extra cursed.
Well it wasnt originally going to be DOA, but then they showed gameplay.
Just release it and let it join the graveyard of shitty games this year.
Well, the original version began in 2013…
If your looking for a great pirate game with a good story, check out Arcane Odyssey. I don’t really want to mention what platform it’s on, but if you like magic and pirates then you might want to check it out.
