tbh the game this seems to be about "Skull and Bones" isn't even that bad... The character models (especially faces) look pretty bad and I haven't tried intentional multiplayer, but that's all I've really noticed (played it for about 6-7 hours, including open beta)

I think that in a vacuum the game isn't that bad, but given the context of how much it costs, how long it's been in development, being hailed as the first "AAAA game", and the fact that they literally made a better version of this game 11 years ago and the game is only mediocre I totally understand why this game has gotten the reaction it has.

Ahh, I didn't know about the AAAA part, with that in mind, yeah it should be mocked to death

The CEO also called it "the first AAAA" game, hence the jokes being made about how shit it is.

he meant AAAAH but forgot the H

He must be really scared of pirates

Yeah, I didn't know about that, considering that it should definitely be mocked to death

That doesn't make it better.

[–] avater@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

it also don't make it a bad game

No, that's being a bad game that does that.

But hey, you're allowed to like bad games.
