Skull & Bones December '18 Update - MMORPG.com

The Skull & Bones team has a new video update for December '18 that reflects on the game's progress throughout the preceding year. Producer Karl Luhe talks about the excitement that the fans and team feel after a chance to check out the pre-alpha demo. The team has "doubled down on the naval hunting grounds to make them as awesome as possible". The community has inspired developers working on the game as it moves through development.

I'm still not sure what this game is. From the videos of demo it seemed like a lobby shooter with ships more than anything else.

Everyone is just so excited tho...

Is this World of Tanks but with pirate ships?

If a group of players can work on a single ship then it's more like Guns of Icarus. If it's one player on one ship then yeah, World of Warships: Pirate Edition.

There is NOTHING in that video about updates,it is simply a marketing video and nothing more and didn't even show anything at that.All he basically says is "we will make the hunting grounds great",whatever that means lol.
People asking simple questions because this developer gives us nothing.
So checked it out,it is by Ubisoft,so should b decent right?
Well the ships look nice,the water looks nice but doesn't appear to be much more than that.

From what i can tell there are a small handful of missions in this "hunting grounds".There is some background voices and sounds that try and give you the immersive feeling and is done ok.

However the actual game play seems to be lacking,it looks more or less like automated game play.You do have a crew but i believe it is all single player but maybe i am wrong.

I don't get hyped for games anymore, but I am watching this one closely.

Yuck Ubisoft. Every one of their games is the same. Gorgeous graphics and mind numbingly simpleton game play and design.

lol at those cannons firing like they are machine guns, no way someone can reload that fast.

Well to be fair to that notion,i was watching Angry Joe and team play Blackwake on a whim and it was some of the funniest stuff i have watched in a long time,it was entertaining.
There lies an even bigger problem with gaming,the popularity idea,the advertising,sponsoring.

I didn't even know this Blackwake existed but know what it does,it gets you right into the action of ship battles with a command post" your Captain"issuing orders and directing the crew.

ACTION Now if we are looking for a COMPLETE role playing game,might as well forget it,NOBODY is going to deliver anymore than what we already see over and over.....survival game trash.

So imo ,just make a simple fun game to play that is team based,needs team work and just works to not waste much time at all.Will this game deliver on matching Blackwake for simple enjoyable fun ,idk maybe.
