Ah yes, the 3 classic pirate's tenets. Playing nice, fair and safe

AAAA is actually the screams of the devs who had to make this

AC Black Flag walked so Skull and Bones could crawl

What a project full of passion, completely uninspired by another famous pirate game, and certainly without any microtransactions, truly a unique AAAA next gen experience 🥰

I love how you said "ingredients" instead of "resources" for the Ship. Cooking Simulator confirmed. 10/10

Nah I'm not paying 70 dollars for a world of tanks rip off

>travelling at 12 knots per second Ah yes, the pirate ship with sails that travels at MACH 64

Looks like a very pretty mobile game

The idea of gradually upgrading and customizing your ship sounds fun… in a better game without max level players one shotting newbs.

The best we can hope for is that this game is just a warm-up for the Assassins Creed Black Flag remake

The game makes you agree to a code of conduct to do the literal opposite of what pirates do.

So, this doesn't SAY its sponsored, but it certainly feels like it is from their reactions. Almost at actual Ubisoft trailer level acting at times, haha.

Every time I see the ship heeling hard over my first thought is, "Let out your mainsheet, dangit! You're losing so much speed with that much heel!" ...then I remember that no Ubisoft game is *ever* going to have that level of sail-handling detail.

They really trying hard to make this game look fun.

I feel like itd be kinda cool if they used 'For Honor' combat with ship boarding & had more advanced ship combat

The gameplay loop makes me think this is just a pretty mobile game.

"AAAA" yeah, I don't like any game quality like this from now on. "Play Nice, Play Fair, Play Safe" It seems like the devs didn't know what Pirates are to begin with.

I loved the part in Treasure Island where they had a stamina bar.

I know I didn't hear them say the ship fighting is better than black flags 1:38 I know that didn't happen right?

They were right this game really is a great C tier game.........wait they said it was AAAA?

The AAAA stands for goffy AAAA game.

With the state of gaming in general for the past 10 years , I don’t doubt this is indeed, a quadruple A game.

"Piracy is more fun with friends" ill drink to that

Gonna be honest, of all the footage I've seen, you made the game look the most fun.

4:42 I love that the character tilts THE WRONG WAY when you turn

Nothing says piracy like playing nice, fair, and safe.

I feel like kev couldn't badmouth the game cuz he was sent the codes. I guess keeping the good relationship he has with the studio. But he looks like he enjoyed so thats good 😌

S&B is like what Ubisoft thought Blackflag was.

I played the first demo and fucking hated it, i used 2 of my 6 hours and then went to play assassin’s creed odyssey, not even Unity

Makes ya wonder what the fuck they did with all that time. “We removed the assassins creed DNA.” “What did you replace it with?” “Replace it?”

For every a added to AAA is how many bugs are added on launch

Ubisoft thought they could copy Sea of Thieves and no one would notice.

You can't even board enemy ships, even AC BF, an 11-year-old game, had that feature. AAAA quality my ass. Nobody should spend $70 on this soulless cashgrab when its ship combat is outdone by a game that would be in middle school by now.

This is giving me flashbacks to Lineage 2 pvp servers lol the high levels camping noob mission zones just to one-shot them. PS: I fucking love Philip in this episode. Had me cackling the whole time 😂

This game really looks like *insert generic pirate game* !!

Remember, your boat will get eepy, be sure to let your eepy get sleepy so she dont sinky

Bro first time I went to turn the ship and felt that unrealistic a** ship steering I was so salty 😂

I'll just play AC Black Flag LOL

Time to play fair in a pay to win game. Uh huh, yep.

The PvP is actually entirely opt-in. You can't attack other players unless they're in a specific PvP event. What we're seeing here is actually a problem that they're working to fix, basically there's certain end-game content that causes high level NPC enemies to spawn and chase the player in question... unfortunately they have a habit of getting distracted and going after any newbies nearby as well. That combined with you just sailing into higher level areas, as a general rule, when you start, you keep to "Red Isle" (aka Madagascar), then start exploring the coast of Africa, then finally move over to the East Indies.

So you're not really playing a pirate captain but a pirate sjip. You can't even board enemies ????

That guy on the megaphone in the beginning sounds like Captain Flynt's voice actor from Borderlands 2.

Wow a gollum-like pirate game, in the leagues of skull island rise of kong, redfall, walking dead destinies, and the day before. 🤣

I don't like that this looks like it would be fun with friends for a week or two, because I have absolutely no desire to give Ubisoft money ever again

Truly this deserves the ÀÁÀÁ Tag with every accent representing almost 4 years of work and tears.

Reminder this game was basically just a vacation spot in singapore for the french developers . No one from signapore could get promoted in that office , called it "the french cieling" and thats why they never made the game.till the actual goverment of signapore was on their ass cause they also took out a loan from the goverment , for this fake game almost a decade ago , that was just a office or french employees to vacation till they actually legally had to make a game

sea of theives does look kinda like skull and bones first person on a ship and land can not drink to get drunk but can sail a ship in first person the whole time but the controls feel alot like skull and bones

Your title made my day

Sid Meier's Pirates is a better Pirate Game than Skull & Bones. lol

He said it, he said the title of the vid

"play nice, play fair, play safe" I thought we were supposed to be pirates?... Yknow the bandits of the ocean?

Skull and Bones has more in common with Pirate101 by Kingsile (the company who made wizard101) than it does Sea Of Thieves by Rare LTD.

It's sea of thieves with all the good parts removed and replaced with lazy design

someone had a lemur in my drive thru once

Its there no other way to combat, explore islands etc?

Having fun with some aspects of the game is all well and good. That's the point anyway. Being able to play with friends (regardless of how much interaction) helps keep things fun. But some fun doesnt equal a good game, and it doesnt equal a full experience. The game is what it is, so if its fun for some that's great, but Ubisoft deserves no praise for this. The only support I would give is for the shanties. Sean Dagher and La Nef deserve every bit of praise as true professionals and the original AC shantymen (I dont know who else sings shanties in the game beyond them).

It just looks like black flag without all the assassin bits

Imma be real, with how long this game has been in development hell, anyone who thought it would be good is morons. I knew this game was gonna be bad when they announced they restarted development for a third time. Name me one game that's suffered as long, if not longer, that came out even decent.

I dunno, sly cooper had pirate ship battles downpacked. But nobodies ready for this conversation

Please do a comparison between assassin's creed pirates (2013) mobile vs skull and bones ... Let's see which has more features

You upload only the sponsored content here on this channel right?

He went crazy and everyone died

This game COULD have been good, if they actually made it more like Sea of Thieves with actual off ship things, and real boarding instead of cutscenes. If they also didn't spend 100 years restarting development from the group up just to be the exact same game as well, they could have had this game done in a year and sold it as a fun little 20-30 dollar ship only game with friends.

The fact the beggining of the game is the same as Assassins Creed: Black Flag 💀💀💀

See here, the rock on the island did collapse and buried all the evidence that this ever happened. This game is canon IRL we just didn’t know.

They're being suspiciously kind with this game. It's soooo bad💀I assumed he'd be roasting this dookie hard the whole time. Aside from the Graphics this game screams mobile and overall misdirection.

first vid ive seen not absolultly trashing the game

I'm gonna be honest I thought this game was cancelled. It was on my Steam Wish list for Years with no release date in site. So I took it off of my steam wishlist a while back now.

Personally love the game, but the amount of people yapping about Black Flag is insane to the point its funny. Good vid kev👍

Just give me black flag with multiplayer but the multi-player is like what you do in the main game and i will be set for life

Why can't they make a pirate game that isn't PvPvE? I don't want to play with other people :(

After playing games like Black Flag, Sea Dogs, and Sid Myer's Pirates!, this is a pretty-looking milk run simulator with microtransactions. I'd rather vomit in my hands and clap.

This is a game of all time

Honestly looking at the gameplay this doesn't seem that bad. I looked at the price tho so I'm not gonna buy it without a serious sale.

Look up a game called tempest way more to do in that game then this one.

This is literally just world of tanks but with boats and a massive price tag attached..... The best part of being a pirate is actually getting to be a pirate... I don't know who at Ubisoft decided the best part of being a pirate was actually being a boat

What really hurts. Is that they had a completely good system of ship movement. AC Black flag. If they had've improved that and then worked on the combat to provide functionality for multiship crews it would've been at least worth it.

It turns out the One Piece was the friends they made along the way

The only thing this game does is make me want to go play Black Flag again.

i was today years old when i knew they are both the same game

shouldnt it be "An Ubisoft Original" instead of "A Ubisoft Original"

looks like a fun game if it was priced at 20$.

seems fun

Ah yes, the game that was supposed to kill Sea of Thieves.

Sea of Thiefes is unfair

A Quadruple A game shouldn't suck balls

Comparing snb to sot. One of them is a pirate game with sword fights and blunderbuss and thieving. One of them is a boat with stamina and nothing else. Very unfair to compare them.

For a game that is primitive to black flag in 11 years in the making with a over 100 million dollar budget it's the first I seen kev show respect to a bad game

Honestly, it's good if it's like 10-20$. Not 100000$.

3:27 it kinda looks like the mark of the beast…

Mentioning Sea of Thieves and Skull and Bones, feels like an insult... One have passion and love built into it, and the other is just laziness and greed incarnate and said it's a "AAAA"

Fully convinced that a game's quality gets worse with the more A's you add to it

Fun fact they literally copy and pasted the fighting animation from the 2 wrestlers you see in assassins creed syndicate (idk where you see them) for the 2 drunk-ish pirates on the first island you go on to the right

Way I see it. Black Flag and Sea of Thieves is all we have. I wanted to control a character, too. Not just the ship. Never bought it. Never will.

Hello Kev.

It's like sea of theives if sea of theives wasn't a pirate game. Also if it wasn't fun.

First goofy AAAAhh game

10 seconds in i already don’t give a fuck this game must be amazing

Ubisoft just misses the mark ever single time.

It's definitely a 30-40 dollars game max. Not a 60-70 dollars game. Have 72 hours playtime currently. It's not a AAAA game or AC Black Flag . Misleading marketing from ubisoft. But It's a fun game for what it is. This game is basically a open world looter shooter live service game like division 2 and others. All islands are safe places that you can interact with npc's and other suff. When it's on discount definitely worth buying but not at current price. It's not that bad as people saying.
