mtstrs92: This game would have a huge comeback if they included real combat

SiKside: If they add pirate sword fights and some exciting combat I’m all in on buying the game.

darkbornelines4587: They have the tamplate in black flag, have us play as a pirate, with combat, and exploration

RexFlexall7881: I know im in the minority here but I love it. I Pre-ordered it and I dont regret it at all. Me and a bunch of guys on discord have a blast playing it. It could improve in many ways and devs have been implementing fixes and doing updates weekly. If they bring in bigger ships, land combat and open top portion of map I think it can make a big comeback. I hope it does as Ubisoft has made some of my all time favorite games and I dont want to see them go under. I will say they need to show us the gamers a little more respect as we are the ones responsible for their successes.

David-nq8cv: Game literally needs more on land stuff because of right now its walk to npc or billboard to get items or bounty and thats it the rest is on ship

fatherjimbo: Bro...Dark Mode on reddit for the love of my eyes.

dragonflyeet: I really don't get Ubisoft, they had everything in Black Flag with swordfighting and ship takeovers. All they had to do is just insert them in Skull & Bones.

They can maybe just update the combat using For Honor's.

TheFallen3: They should add for honor combat but with pirates, then I’m in

kibathefang6022: They put combat, 15 hour story, plundering on land and during boarding, whaling like Black Flag then I will try it.

KangTheory: I’m not sure if adding combat will help. If people don’t like it, they don’t like imo. Boarding would suck in a multiplayer setting because you can just be snipped from a mile way with a canon or mortar shot by another player. lol making boarding useless. All that stuff only worked in BF because it was a single player controlled environment.

Panda_Obey283: This game has so much potential

Cplusplus745: The ship driving and fighting in first person is very immersive in this game. The way your vessel glides and travels on water is incredible. And water is the best looking in the industry. If I can get 10x more customisation for my ships, characters, more ship archetypes, more ship weapons and seamless pvp, more sea exploration, I won't give an F about land combat and exploration.

Conqueror25: Doing to Skull & Bones what they did to Star Wars? Hmmm...

tygarner7731: When they showed him picking up his sword, I thought that was a signal to hand to hand combat. That would be a big deal.

adammonahan7096: Land/hand to hand combat, the ability to have multiple playthroughs/characters, and more customization. 90% of problems solved right there.

syanreeze253: If the game has:

1. Melee piratey combat

2. Realistic ship handling

3. AAA storytelling

Then im interested. As long as all these 3 are absent, the game is as good as gone.

faraz_qureshi: If they add sword combat and let people board each other's ships with sword combat , I'll definitely get it. Heck Ubisoft, you can literally do a lot with a pirate game if you really want to.

Let people make their own gangs and pirate caves, add loot and let others discover and attack them. Let people make ships convoy and perhaps a single pirate hunter or a group of hunter ships in a gang go after it.

You can even make a treasure hunt competition and race against each other, Ubisoft the possibilities are endless if you want, and it's a big cash cow if executed the right way

bigjuice909: If they add on foot combat and real exploration and make it a full pirate rpg sim I’m in !!

mrawood1: Maybe the "picking up the sword" is symbolic. Ground skirmishes on the way perhaps? Hey, let's be optimistic for once

CompatibleLeftist: Ubisoft planning a big comeback with the same old leadership is like an old and out of shape athlete thinking he can just comeback and dominate easily lmfao, the people in charge of Ubisoft are truly delusional.

“Leave the sport before it leaves you”.

skidbladnir: To add the boarding would completly change the games mechanics.. if it would be applied on all ships in the game and all mods PVE/PVP. A midway could be to limit boarding on special ships or arena. But I con't imagine a Black Flag boarding in PVP. Very strange..

erikthurston4223: If they don’t add more island exploration and ground combat (to be honest I don’t see that happening) this game will be done

ohahmad8443: This should be a single along with multi-player open world pirate game with old AC combat!

r6rider2987: On foot gameplay and I would try it.

StuRedman: Peak of pirate game sword fighting was in Monkey Island.

chrisgraham1781: Look at No mans Sky if they could put forth some effort for this game it could have some potential to be great get it back to being like Black Flag

xethnyrrow: Unlike most the other game companies who cut their losses early or before a title even launches, Ubisuck doubles down on turd polishing. They need new management so badly.
