You had to have played other pirate games, such as AC: Black Flags, to see the difference. This game is trash, compared to the 12 years old Black Flags. Want a good pirate game to play, get Black Flags and avoid this train wreck.
I promise, you will thank me.
I have played other pirate games. This is not one of the better ones. The graphics are good, and the ship combat is slightly above par. That is as far as it goes.
The servers are still kicking you off in mid play, and the missions are boring at best. No story, no point. The NPC's go through the same cut scenes and talk logs, as if you never met them before. Over and over again. Let's just say, I have seen BETTER pirate games out there, than this one. I could talk about the good stuff, but I haven't found anything yet.
The servers are garbage. I have issues like, the map not loading any info, just some black dots here and there on the map. The game freezes when you try to leave it. I have to exit to menu, then leave, or it will hang up, and your forced to hit Ctrl+Alt+Del, and end task, or even hard reset your PC. Thanks Ubisoft, for still sucking the bog one...STILL.
I play a lot of online games, and this one just is not reliable. The Host crashes more than not. There is no way to set a region, so your at the mercy of the Server match maker.
It uses your Ubisoft log in name as your player name, so that is a Big FAT FAIL. I want to have a pirate name, like Capt. Crunch, or Edward Teach. But nope, i have to change my ubisoft user name. FAIL!!!
I feel this game was made by the laziest people on the planet. How much time do you think they have wasted eating Twinkies per day, rather than trying improving the players experience?
