So basically, a AA studio, combined with a publisher that is still currently being sued by Nintendo, managed to make a game that Ubisoft spent half a billion dollars and a decade to fail at making.
In other news:
Minimum: GTX 1080ti, Recommended: RTX 3080. oh oh
Is there a single-player offline mode?
Edit: Yes, apparently:
I’ve been playing this game all week. It’s amazing! Exactly the kind of pirate game I want to play.
It’s basically Enshrouded, but pirates in the 1700s instead of a magic/fantasy world. It’s base-building with quests and adventures. And your can sail ships, battle other ships, build your own ships, etc. which is like Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, but way better.
I bought the soundtrack for the game on Steam and the entire second disc is just sea shanties! The first disc is the first four sea shanties spiced up with instrumentals for the trailers. Even when I’m not playing this game, I’m rocking this soundtrack while I’m working on my computer.
I’m really enjoying this game. I’m considering reviewing it for my “random screenshots of my games” series. It’s about time I wrote another one of those.
I’vr not played it, mostly just amused by AAA shooting itself in the balls, but I may have to actually give it a whirl, seems fun!
Added it to my wishlist yesterday, looks great. Does the soundtrack give band credits to who’s playing? Wondered who did “Old Maui” in the game preview.
The soundtrack itself doesn’t have any credits listed. On their soundtrack store page on Steam, it says “Kraken Express” (the development company) is the artist, composer, and label, with an “other credits” featuring Seán Dagher.
S&B was literally never supposed to be survival slop.
Right, it was supposed to be mobile slop game design, with AAAA graphics.
You still had to sail around and gather resources, its just that this was visually represented in a very goofy and indirect way.
Is it actually possible to go below 0 on that graph or is that extra 50€ buffer at the bottom just to protect Ubi’s feelings?
… A stock with a negative price would be extremely funny, but no I’m pretty sure that’s not even technically possible, at least… not without high frequency trading fuckery…
Uh its just like that because of it being a webapp widget, trying to support as many possible different kinds of x,y ranges as possible, would be my guess, lol.
