Tempest and Man O' War are both extremely terrible, unfortunately.

I ended up just reinstalling Age of Pirates: City of Abandoned Ships from GOG and slapped the Gentlemen of Fortune mod onto it, it's janky as a motherfucker but I love the sailing and trading aspects in it.

So Destiny 2 is hitting PC like a month and a half after consoles and the PS4 version will have exclusive content like maps and stuff. I always wanted to try the first but don't have any consoles. Maybe I'll try and get some friends to jump on this when it comes out but man that sucks and I don't really feel like supporting that kind of thing.

Anyway Wolfenstein comes out a few days after so I'll probably just get that. :hellyeah:

Its dumb because that hurts sales on pc without really boosting sales on console, at least as far as I am aware.

Do you (or anyone else) know how the most recent Sea Dogs turned out? I loved the original despite how threadbare it was and put dozens of hours into the Pirates of the Caribbean rebranded sequel.

Also from what I understand the first had a bunch of expansions and the fun was figuring stuff out as a community kind of like big complex MMO raids. So are the expacs going to be on a similar delay because that seems like it could conceivably happen if there's and initial delay already.

this could be an issue i guess but honestly unless you are doing the raids day 1 you have basically zero chance of doing them blind (unless you have a group of like minded people to run with and promise each other to stay blind). world firsts are done in like 6 hours and the youtube how-tos arent far behind. if you try to run with pubbies or even experienced goons they are going to explain things straight away.

Asteroid mining isn't a major focus of Rebel Galaxy but it is something you can do alongside trading and hunting pirates, and it's a pretty chill game all-around.

If you don't mind an ancient, 2D space sim then Starscape is all about mining space rocks to fix up your busted ship and explore the galaxy. A less-ancient alternative would be Space Pirates and Zombies.

To be completely honest, the ultimate mine-asteroids-and-chill experience is EVE Online, where you can park your big mining hauler in safe space and watch YouTube clips while sucking rocks out of space and playing the market with your take. All the insane drama and wars and stuff don't make a lick of difference to a small-time player in safe space, so you can do whatever you want in peace.

Awesome!

Engrish to the max, one of the longest tutorials I've ever seen in a game, and otherwise it's essentially a more scripted Sea Dogs.

I didn't like it at all.

Elder Scrolls: nothing new until ESO dies, probably.

GTA: nothing new until GTO stops making money hand over fist.

Anthem: Bioware's new RPG is a Destiny clone, online co-op.

BG&E2: Some sort of weird persistent world MMO... thing.

Far Cry 5: Look at all these co-op shenanigans you can have.

Skull & Bones: We read that survey we gave you and saw that you wanted Black Flag without Assassin's Creed, so here it is, except it's an MMO.

It's probably a bit too early or way too late for the "big singleplayer games are dying" hot take, but the trend is clear. Microtransactions are a hard sell in SP games, so the money's in always-online and multiplayer. At least I'll have Wolfenstein.

But your soldiers can develop bonds with each other and get special abilities out of it. That's a great feature to help with emergent storytelling.

They probably spent more money making that trailer than they have developing the game to date.

I really hope Skull & Bones isn't just a multiplayer game because all I've ever wanted for years now is Black Flag without Assassin's Creed on top of it but, with the exception of Assassin's Creed and Watch Dogs, I'm not sure Ubisoft even makes single player games any more?

Don't lose your head over it.
Merging the mining and single player pirate topics, Rebel Galaxy is Black Flag combat without the AC stuff, in space. It also has a pretty good soundtrack.

What we really need is for Sid Meier to stop slapping his name on games made by his underlings and make a new Pirates! with Black Flag-style ship combat.

Where else are silicone accessories to be kept but in the bosom?

That trailer looks p bitchin', and the end bit looks like it takes place in the old trailer for BGE2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkCXE1l5MVI

But, y'know, nowadays it's way easier to make a CGI movie than a good game, sooooo I'm only cautiously optimistic.

If you go to Ubisoft's youtube videos all of their descriptions have this written in them: "Sail the high seas of Skull and Bones, an online naval open world game set during the Golden Age of Piracy in the exotic and untamed frontier of the Indian Ocean." So no, no single-player, maybe some dumb grinding you can do on your own but that's probably it.
