I really want to play this, but I cannot in good conscience give money to Ubisoft.

Sadly, Ubisoft's godlike digital rights protections are perfected in ways that my meager search engine typing skills could never trivially counter on a boring afternoon, assuming I don't find a free pack-in copy before then on some kind of random mall kiosk plug and play TV game device.

Woe is me that I'll have no choice but to ignore this game until a copy literally falls into my lap through random chance because software wants to be free.

The dumbasses in Ubisoft's leadership ought to relearn that the paying games industry runs entirely on good will.

Edit: Anyone have recommendations for great indie pirate games?

If you really want to play DRM-protected games, usually a certain fit girl makes it easy for you not long atter release.

Windrose is an upcoming pirate survival crafting game, that supposedly got some good ship gameplay.

There's a demo available.

[–] hal_5700X@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 hours ago

I can't wait to see how they fuck it up.

[–] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 13 points 8 hours ago

Just make a good pirate game based on Black Flag already, you already have the game, throw out the AC stuff, put in more pirate stuff, done. This can't be that hard.

"Please, guys, we really need the money!"

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 21 points 9 hours ago

Meh.

It's a good game, and imo still holds up decently well. This is just a cash grab.

[–] ModernRisk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 10 hours ago (1 child)

And then… it gets cancelled just like Prince of Persia remake.

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 1 point 10 hours ago

They just made two of them

Poopysoft is dead to me

[–] itkovian@lemmy.world 10 points 11 hours ago (1 child)

The remake I wouldn't touch with a ten-feet pole.

[–] VerseAndVermin@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Can I ask why? I'm far removed from a lot of what's going on. Black Flag was the only AC game I played through. Not the I didn't try some of the earlier ones.

Is it general Ubisoft stuff or the game in particular?

[–] KraeuterRoy@feddit.org 9 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (2 children)

I'm not the commenter you asked, but I think of Black Flag as a really conflicting game.

On one hand, all of the pirate stuff is really fun. Spearfishing, diving, being on your boat and plundering ships is probably the most fun in any oldschool Creed game.

But if I have to rate it as an AC game, it's terrible. The story is middling at best, the protagonist is really unlikable, the whole Assasins vs. Templars theme feels shoved in needlessly and the main mission design is absolute ASS. It feels like 70% of all main missions have you tail someone...or something. I mean, the game has a mission where you have to sneekily tail a ship...with your ship. It's almost like the game is parodying itself.

Now imagine this with even more boatloads (pun intended) of microtransactions everywhere... I really don't see current Ubisoft delivering a Remake that's not worse than it was back then.

This connects with my memory. I recall spending all my happy time at sea for hours upon hours. Now that you mention it, I do remember a silly follow mission at sea.

I had not considered the obvious micros they will surely add.

I'm the wrong person though to measure a good AC game 🏴‍☠️. I could not get into the first one and I know a lot of people have a lot of love for it. Thank you for taking the time to answer.

[–] firelight@startrek.website 3 points 7 hours ago

This guy gets it.

The pirate setting is the only redeemable quality in an otherwise mediocre game from a series that died entries ago.

[–] firelight@startrek.website 1 point 7 hours ago

Interesting. I recommend playing the first 2 if you want to see what the series was like before they fired the creator.

[–] GameOverFlow@lemmy.zip 1 point 6 hours ago

At this point i dont want it anymore. Keept it.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

The only gamers that like remakes fall into one of these categories:

That's my favorite game! I'd love to play it again!

Or

I didn't get a chance to check it out the first time around, here's my chance!

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Wow, what elegant timing for AskYourUncle's video about AC4.
