AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA games

probably replicated the AC pirate game shit and slapped skeletons on it.

That's pretty much literally what they did if I remember correctly
And they already recycled that one with Rogue, which didn't take 10 years to develop and was short enough to be an enjoyable experience
Which is funny because that's what we've been begging Ubisoft to do since they started churning out Assassin's Creed games each progressivley worse than Black Flag

pirating pirate game is a correct moral choice, as before you pirate you can't know if piracy is morally correct or not. Not pirating it is immoral, as you don't know the morality of piracy.

I think it's supposed to be online only so you may be out of luck. That said, it looks like trash, so

This shit's been in development for 10+ years. May as well call it ~~Duke Nukem~~ Pirates Forever. Can't wait to see another bizarre museum of dated video game design trends.

Ubisoft has been shooting themselves in the foot this year.

They're working overtime to squander any goodwill they got from that recent Prince of Persia metroidvania
- I heard that bombed commercially
this year?

AAAA = We fucked around for a decade with developing this, you little freaks better spend $70 and then some on new costumes and shit

Yeah the whole development of this game seems to have been a scam so whatever. Only reason it's coming out at all is because Ubisoft made a sweetheart deal with the Singaporean government that got them lots of subsidies. IIRC they basically just used the studio as an excuse for execs to take tropical vacations on the clock.

I'm sitting here peeved that we still don't have (and probably will never have) immortal redneck 2 and these people are using their obscene amounts of wealth to make overengineered games that hardly offer as much fun as many indie games.
- They are sitting so many wasted IPs it’s fucking ridiculous

Ubisoft: Spends many multimillions of dollars to make a game

Me: Plays silly indie game made by a silly person cause I'm silly and having silly hours of fun

Assassin's Creed 17 comes out based in a realistic dystopic modern day America, while me playing an indie roguelike with silly monsters, silly weapons and a sillier protagonist

Same here
My current obsession is Balatro, a poker roguelike developed by a single dev.
Meanwhile, my PS5 gathers dust in a corner as I have ignored all the AAA games released since the RE4 remake.

This is after they announced that they abandoned the campaign mode because it was too much work.

I need a clip of James Stephanie Sterling saying "quadruple AAAA" even more sarcastically than "triple AAA".

so this game is just the shitty black flag ship gameplay without all the assassin stuff?

shitty
excuse me?
- yeah. It's fun for a few hours but it gets old really fast. Maybe if the game had some actual depth (like an in-game economy, dynamic world etc), it could have made ship gameplay more meaningful. As is, it's just more Ubisoft-style busywork
