Jesus, can’t blame the guy for ditching if that’s what they came up with after 7 yrs. I never had any hopes for it anyway but the increasing price tag for these so called AAAA games are infuriating.
Good lawd, i genuinely feel bad for you. And they’re expecting $70 for this. I’d expect more from a f2p mobile game.

The last I heard about this game it was another article about it being delayed again and who knows if it will ever finish. Now I hear it’s out in 7 days? WUT.

I found Sea of Thieves already quite boring, but it did get the atmosphere right. Also the ships had to be properly staffed and controlling them felt like what I expect it to fell like. Also they managed to put out new content even though it was cheaper from the start. In other words: Ubisoft can suck it.
Oof, thanks for the review, I was looking forward to this game but didn’t keep up with it past the trailer. Looks like a solid pass for me. I’ve been enjoying the safer seas from Sea of thieves after grabbing it on sale.
Always good to see a new pirate on the sea of thieves! Safer Seas is great for a basic tutorial, but don’t be afraid to jump to High Seas as soon as you are familiar with the mechanics. Do not wait until you’re level 30.
The new quest table in season 11 makes it safer and easier than ever to earn gold as a solo player, so there’s no point in taking the 70% reduction from Safer Seas.
The first thing you want to focus on is buying a captained ship. This will massively increase your convenience in selling loot, and is really the only thing you can buy that actually “upgrades” your character.
The next thing you want to focus on is … whatever you want! Progression is just cosmetics and getting better at the game. It’s a true sandbox.
If you want to get better at PvP, just fight every ship you see. You will sink a lot, but each time you will get a little better. Don’t be afraid to lose fights and lose treasure to other players. There will always be more loot!
For useful tips and tricks aimed at new players, I recommend Phuzzybond’s guides on YouTube.
Happy sailing!
I grabbed it because I can play in pve with friends. We’re all old people now and can’t take the toxic shit that came with the game from hardcore kids who play and fuck over new players. You probably won’t ever see me in high seas, it’s to toxic of a player base unfortunately.
Understandable. But for anyone else reading this and is interested in moving to High Seas, I should make it clear what is considered “toxic” in this game:
Toxic (actual bannable behavior):
- Hacking.
- Using slurs, verbal abuse, etc. (the common standards you will see for voice/chat interaction in modern online games).
Not toxic:
- Attacking other crews for any reason, even if they don’t fight back or don’t have any loot on their ship.
- Trash talking that doesn’t go into the category of slurs and personal abuse. (That being said, you can mute other crews any time with a hotkey).
One of the things that frustrates new players is the misconception that there are rules or standards for getting attacked by other crews.
Fighting, lying, stealing, and sneaking are all part of intended gameplay. They are the essence of the game, and are what leads to the most exciting and memorable player interactions. I say this as an almost exclusive solo player who is always at a disadvantage in PvP situations.
That being said, you can always choose to be nice, and that can also lead to rewarding player interactions. But you should never assume that the other crews are playing by your rules.
There is a difference between pvp and camping noobs to the point they quit. Tons of people stopped playing because of the toxicity.

I only played the beta a couple months ago and I found it unbelievably boring and uninspired. I’ve never been so uninvested in a game’s world and this is a motherfucking pirate game. How is it this dull?!
vast and complete
‘It’s so finished you guys!’ is a fucking bragging point now.
“We followed through on 60% of our promises, so you should pay us 200% of the value. If you want even more premium content, we’ll give it to ya! For a premium…”
No thanks, pass. Games as a service with loot boxes and battle passes aren’t my thing.
Not even for a quintuple A game? Sextuple A?
Pffft. Our new game is AT LEAST a TREE(3) A game!
What’s that about sex in my A?
The extra “A” makes it extra AWESOME!
[x] Doubt
“Quadruple-A” lmao
Just the other day there was an article with the previous creative director saying that they had to axe the Single-player campaign because they just didn’t have the team to do itRemember: Only you can help make 2024 the year of the Live Service graveyard.
They can barely make AAA these days though
They’ve been copy/pasting the same games over and over, a typo was bound to happen.
They can barely make
AAAA these days thoughFTFY
Where is Ubisoft getting all this unearned confidence from? Their games have just been circling the toilet for the past 5 years or so.
Probably cocaine.
It’s called Confiance Blanc in France.
That’s a quadruple paaaass from me, dawg.
70 bucks AND i don’t get to own it? sign me up!
If this dude was a real gamer, he would have called it “S-tier”.
Of course he would. Screw Ubisoft.
Quadruple A is the coke talking
Leave it to Ubisoft to add an extra A to the already shitty landscape that is AAA gaming.
This game will be $40 in 6 weeks and discounted to $25 during a summer sale.
They make The Crew unplayable in a month, without any chance to ever play it again.
And they expect me to pay 70 € for this? What?
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, oh, no, you won’t!
People should have stopped buying ubisoft games a long time ago
