It is a marvel this game hasn't been cancelled yet.

I'm gonna be a skull and bones by the time this comes out.

Yohohoho ๐Ÿ’€

[-] lorty@lemmy.ml 25 points 10 months ago

It's amazing they haven't just released some crap and called it a game.

[-] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 19 points 10 months ago

It can still happen to be honest.

[-] extant@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago

Games getting their release dates pushed back should be applauded not criticized.

[-] Stovetop@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Except this game's development has been a trainwreck since Day 1. There were many opportunities to release it earlier as a good game, but Ubisoft keeps changing their mind on what dumb monetization model they want to weasel in there.

If this ends up just being a Sea of Thieves ripoff, I'm gonna fucking lol

[-] Codilingus@sh.itjust.works 14 points 10 months ago

Having played in one of the first tests, it's far from Sea of Thieves. 1 man controls the entire ship, opposed to a crew controlling 1 aspect of the ship at a time.

And it got boring very very fast.

I saw a little gameplay footage and it looked like just the sailing part of Black Flag, nothing else and no new features to make it more in depth.

How close am I?

[-] Codilingus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

Actually really close, lol.

[-] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago

Well you probably played before they had the "fun and engaging gameplay" dlc ready

[-] slowjoe@lemmy.zip 5 points 10 months ago

I couldn't even get past the tutorial area during the beta, it was very tedious

[-] crawley@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I don't know what else it could possibly be

[-] casstr@lemmy.ml 11 points 10 months ago

The rumour I've heard is that they got a massive grant to develop this game from an Asian government (thinking Singapore but not sure) and if they scrap it, they have to pay it all back possibly with fines, so they're desperately trying to avoid cancelling it. No idea if this is true though.

"You've clearly never been to Singapore."

[-] jaycifer@kbin.social 6 points 10 months ago

This is not a delay. They are updating the window from "Early 2023-24," which the article states is likely anytime this past year to the end of their fiscal year at the end of March to... "Q4 2023-24" which ends at the end of March. So there's no real change to when it could release by (yet).

Game looks incredibly boring and like the worst part of pirate games

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Is this bcz they found out nobody wants to play a black flag game without the black flag part? Trailer got a really poor reception so they tried to address the criticism?

[-] JustZ@lemmy.world -5 points 10 months ago

Why did they name a game after a secret society at Yale?

Should have picked something original.

[-] holiday@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Why did the secret society at Yale name themselves after the Jolly Roger?

[-] JustZ@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Oh right, well I forgot about that and boy do I feel like an idiot.

[-] Tom_bishop@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Its understandable for someone from yale
