Yohohoho ๐Ÿ’€

It's amazing they haven't just released some crap and called it a game.

[โ€“] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 16 points 2 years ago

It can still happen to be honest.

Games getting their release dates pushed back should be applauded not criticized.

[โ€“] Stovetop@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Except this game's development has been a trainwreck since Day 1. There were many opportunities to release it earlier as a good game, but Ubisoft keeps changing their mind on what dumb monetization model they want to weasel in there.

If this ends up just being a Sea of Thieves ripoff, I'm gonna fucking lol

I couldn't even get past the tutorial area during the beta, it was very tedious

[โ€“] crawley@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I don't know what else it could possibly be

[โ€“] casstr@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The rumour I've heard is that they got a massive grant to develop this game from an Asian government (thinking Singapore but not sure) and if they scrap it, they have to pay it all back possibly with fines, so they're desperately trying to avoid cancelling it. No idea if this is true though.

"You've clearly never been to Singapore."

This is not a delay. They are updating the window from "Early 2023-24," which the article states is likely anytime this past year to the end of their fiscal year at the end of March to... "Q4 2023-24" which ends at the end of March. So there's no real change to when it could release by (yet).

Is this bcz they found out nobody wants to play a black flag game without the black flag part? Trailer got a really poor reception so they tried to address the criticism?

[โ€“] mojo@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Game looks incredibly boring and like the worst part of pirate games

[โ€“] JustZ@lemmy.world -5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why did they name a game after a secret society at Yale?

Should have picked something original.

[โ€“] holiday@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why did the secret society at Yale name themselves after the Jolly Roger?

[โ€“] JustZ@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh right, well I forgot about that and boy do I feel like an idiot.

[โ€“] Tom_bishop@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Its understandable for someone from yale
