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 26 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago

It can still happen to be honest.

[-] extant@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Stovetop@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

Actually really close, lol.

[-] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] slowjoe@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] crawley@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I don't know what else it could possibly be

[-] casstr@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year 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 1 year 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).

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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?

[-] mojo@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] JustZ@lemmy.world -5 points 1 year ago

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

Should have picked something original.

[-] holiday@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] JustZ@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Tom_bishop@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Its understandable for someone from yale
