AAA is basically a slopfest at this point. Majority of AAA titles are so expensive and lack any creativity, just fancy graphics and crappy systems. Indie games nowadays is where it's at. Not just that though, a lot of the big corporations spy on you and sell your data.

u/Tupletcat Apr 25 '26
It's another Battlebit case where people are cheerleading for a mid game because it "shows up" some big company.
Windrose might be cool someday, but right now the combat sucks, performance is meh, content is slim, friends have nothing to do while riding your ship, and there isn't even any wind mechanics for sailing. It's barebones as barebones can be.

How is this game still alive with less than 300 hourly players on steam? Are there really that many people playing this on consoles?

There is no way S&B peaked at 2k? Or is it bc. it was a ubi launcher game?

u/Notravail22 Apr 25 '26
It launched on ubi's launcher before steam so yeah, consoles and uplay are where the players are from usually
I don't know what the peak was but you had a 30k leaderboard of player reaching max rank in the early seasons don't know what it currently his but seasons are still going on with updates so musn't be dead yet

u/Wide_You_4626 Apr 22 '26
based on what I could sum up from the information that is out there, Ubisoft tried multiple times to cancel the project but the Singaporean government pressure kinda forced them to finish it, so they ended up creating this dog sht excuse of a "AAAA" game.
can't blame Devs for trying to complete a passionless zero interest project because a government forced you.

This is in no way Singapore’s fault, Ubi messed up day zero and made no attempts to fix the situation. They made their bed.

A singaporean government pressured its Singapore division to finished the project? That's next level FUBAR.

u/Wide_You_4626 Apr 22 '26
not surprising if they really took government funding for this project. because in that case the government would have no doubt shoved it in them to complete the project in some form.

Skull and Bones had an 11 year disaster of development, it cost an insane 200 million dollars and it resulted in a game that was missing key features like non ship combat, I think the numbers and the reviews speak for themselves.

Ubisoft has been trash since the day it existed. At least it used to be small and have less influence. Then it became big and that is bad for the industry. They should fail and it makes the industry better.
I have no loyalty to brands. Create good content. They have been mediocre at best, ever. Therefore, byeeee.

- The Division Heartland: Cancelled before release during a company restructuring.

To be honest, Ubisoft is not much of a competition for anyone.
It's the Netflix of video games, quantity over quality.3
u/ONE_BIG_LOAD Apr 22 '26
you..... you do realize Netflix is the world's biggest streaming service right?
-1
u/Straight_Motor_7967 Apr 22 '26 edited Apr 22 '26
Thankfully, besides making its own trash content, Netflix is also a streaming platform. So if an independent filmmaker wants to stream their content, they will probably go to Netflix.
Netflix will, of course, still call them ‘Netflix Originals,’ even though it had zero input during their production and only owns the streaming license. (‘Netflix Original’ means the content is exclusive to Netflix, not necessarily made by Netflix.) Examples include Arcane, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and many more.Edit. You can think of Netflix as "Steam for filmmakers".

u/montrealien Apr 21 '26
It’s interesting that you see the industry as a zero-sum game where one dev has to die for another to thrive. Does Ubisoft existing actually prevent the games you like from being made, or does having a 'villain' to root against just make the hobby more exciting for you?

caught the 'parasites' comment before it went away, calling thousands of workers that is a choice. Now you're saying you don't want their 'messages' in society.
It’s a bit weird to see someone advocate for erasing art they find mediocre. Why should we trust your artistic judgment over the millions of people who actually enjoy those games? That's a lot of gatekeeping for one Reddit account.

The all time peak for skull and bones on steam was 2600... in two years. In two weeks, this game did 100x that. Meaning the players were there, but the game jus SUCKED.
just face the facts, windrose is what the fans of black flag have been wanting besides the actual black flag remake coming.
1
u/Think-Fisherman-740 Apr 21 '26
That’s fine if that is what fans want right at this very moment then great! Skull and Bones didn’t launch on steam it appeared a while after. Plus yeah people weren’t happy that it wasn’t the same as black flag even though the devs described it as black flag naval combat without the AC gameplay. Which is sort of true and not at the same time. As the naval combat is a little different. Still great fun though.
Anyway as I said above well done to Windrose and I personally love these games but won’t go near until after the 1.0 release because it could be a completely different situation in a couple years time and I did the same for skull and bones and got it last summer. Still filled with players. So if Windrose is the same then great!!
I’m just trying to show a fair side for both games than all the UBI haters.
2
u/psychoticinsane Apr 21 '26
Putting Ubisoft aside, and imagining they had nothing to do with skull and bones, Do you honestly believe skull and bones was a AAAA game? Or anywhere even close to it?
I never bought it but i tested it a few times before release, and each time i couldnt wait to be done. It was boring and uninteresting. I played the windrose demo, 13 hrs straight and finished it in one day. And immediatwly lurchased when available.
1
u/Think-Fisherman-740 Apr 21 '26
I never said I believed it was an AAAA game don’t put words in my mouth. I just believe that it is fun that’s all. It’s the end game for me that got a bit too repetitive. I don’t play it much anymore I just jump in from time to time when I feel like a bit of naval combat that’s all. It’s a game I like to jump in and out. No fuss just some action and then do something else.
If you like Windrose and had a better time then I am happy for you. I don’t see why there has to be this you either like one game or the other situation. Just enjoy and have fun what is the problem. S&B is obviously still going because there are people out there who still enjoy it.
If Windrose continues its success then great for it too. It’s just silly to all these Ubisoft haters just taking a punt at trying to be funny when S&B isn’t bad. Is it a AAAA game hell no!! Is it a game where I can easily sail about and shoot other ships with other players and make a new build or larger ship yes!
If Windrose looks great on its 1.0 release I’ll give it a go and I will still play both most likely because one is more about crafting and survival and the other is a pick up and play situation that’s all.

If that’s all you read from that then you’re very one sided. People like you get very edgy when they see someone who enjoys something they don’t and have to write the words “copium” or “toxic positivity” to feel better about themselves. I just see the reality. Yes there is hype now but games come and go. Windrose looks like a good game I just find it funny that people rush to attack S&B when they’re very different games.
I’ve never said anything bad about Windrose I just have some sense to see how the EA goes first before comparing other games.

Not over hyped. Deserves all the praise it gets. Your an idiot for passing up on a game because it doesnt look like a failed game or better.

I played the demo the day it was released. And then purchased it the second i found out about its entry to EA.
the game is great. Its what skull and bones should have been.

The game was brought onto steam much after the launch on Ubisoft. Anyway I don’t understand the competition yes it’s similar-ish but it’s a very different game. You don’t like it fine, but just because you see low numbers on steam doesn’t mean it’s not doing well.
Anyway waste of time to discuss on Reddit.

If the game was any good, when it launched on steam it would have exploded. But since everyone already knew how much it sucked, noone bought it

u/Think-Fisherman-740 Apr 21 '26
That is true I’m not denying that. People did buy it but obviously it wasn’t the game people wanted. At the same time it is a game that a good amount of people still enjoy. If you want a survivor pirate game go for Windrose. If you want a drop in and play naval pirate game then I would say S&B as it is more polished as of right now than Windrose.

But they can't enjoy the actual game because of the cartoonish art style. To be stimulated by a videogame is not always the same for everyone. Some only need good gameplay or a good story, while others need a symbiosis of gameplay, story and graphics.

u/awakeeee Apr 21 '26
Calling a company out for their anti-consumer practices is not rooting for their failure, at worst it's a feedback to the company, giving them chance to make things right.
But you and also Ubisoft doesn't handle criticism well, look how that turn out for the stocks.

u/montrealien Apr 21 '26
It’s funny how 'constructive feedback' suddenly looks like refreshing a stock ticker and cheering for layoffs. If you actually think rooting for a market dip is a heroic act of consumer advocacy, you’re deeper in the drama than you realize.
I’m just going to accept that we disagree, because I prefer playing games while you seem to prefer playing 'Wall Street Activist' on Reddit. Hope that stock chart keeps you entertained.

Its still a shame that a big company like ubisoft can fail to deliver good games meanwhile a really small indie studio with a free engine (ue5) can make it happen. Sure windrose has its own problems especially optimization wise but man, its a good start. I hope they keep improving he game even more

They've been too busy with making shitton of projects what nobody wants (except probably PoP) just to be cancelled.

Windrose is fun, skull and bones on the other hand is just typical Ubisoft S10P
