Skull and Bones is Ubisoft’s latest entry in gaming and after just a couple of weeks, fans are already complaining regarding the numerous shortcomings of the game. Fans have complained that the game is guilty of the same faults that previous titles of Ubisoft, like Watch Dogs and Assasins Creed: Valhalla.
Ubisoft has been under fire for quite some time now for failing to provide fans with a proper game. The number of games that have failed to satisfy fan expectations got higher with the addition of Skull and Bones to their ranks.
With the game failing to meet expectations on most counts, fans have already started questioning the $70 price tag that Ubisoft has slapped on the game.
Skulls and Bones Is the Same Old in a New Package
Back in 2014, when Ubisoft first released Watch Dogs, fan expectations were sky-high regarding the game. But, not only did the game fail to meet those expectations, it garnered a lot of flak because of the gameplay and storyline being generic. Moreover, fans were left questioning Ubisoft’s credibility after the game failed to deliver on a host of promises.
Now with Skull and Bones fans have begun to see telltale signs of Ubisoft returning to their old tricks. Fans were quick to brand Skull and Bones as yet another AAA failure after Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League tanked.
This user chose to spit facts as they pointed out the fact that one can buy both Palworld and Helldivers 2 for the price of Skull and Bones. Fans felt that they were cheated of their money so it came as no surprise when they were quick to rejoice at the humbling of the so-called ‘AAA behemoths’.
Primary Player Concerns Regarding Skull and Bones
Fans have been quick to point out how the maritime experience feels significantly backdated, even when compared to Assassins Creed: Black Flag. Released 10 years ago, Black Flag‘s sea battle graphics and water mechanics are far superior to the bug-infested experience that Skull and Bones currently have on offer.
Apart from that, Skull and Bones has been in the making for 11 years. Even after such a long time, developers were unable to deliver on all their initial promises. While the game does have its own TRPs, they are too few.
But on a side note, the developers have a year’s worth of content planned ahead. Plus the game offers a satisfactory co-op mode for playing with friends and strangers. Whether the developers can deliver on their lofty promises remains to be seen. But fans are expecting them to up the ante as a majority of them have been utterly disappointed by the gaming experience provided by Skull and Bones.
What did you think of the new Skull and Bones game? Did you try out the co-op mode yet? Do you believe that Ubisoft is guilty of remaking generic content and shipping them off as new games?
