Why Pirate games keep failing... feat. @BlueJayYT

Skull and Bones' terrible awful disgusting launch left me with many questions: Where are all the pirate games? Why do pirate games keep failing? Why after over 10 years is Black Flag still considered so good and why does Sea of Thieves still have so many players when no one else can seem to get it right?

so happy that I was able to contribute to this masterpiece by crying into a microphone for 3 minutes, 10/10

"why does my ship have stamina"

Perfectly describes the problem with modern video games.

For the record, Sid Meier's Pirates! as shown in the video came out in 2004, however it's a remake of a game with the same name made for the commodore 64 that was released in 1987. The game shown with 3d graphics was not made in 1987.

One of my favorite bits in Black Flag is encountering the Gaurdians

They're like: "We are the ancestral gaurdians of these sacred lands, masters of the jungle and defenders of its secrets"

And I'm like: "I am Edward Kenway pirate, master of this gun and taker of your stuff."

Honestly Sea of Thieves gave me the most epic gaming moments in my life. Fighting a Galleon as a Galleon inside of a storm, with a brig in the distance closing in, everyone screaming for better angles or because someone is boarding. All while the storm messes with your steering when no one is on the wheel. Pure chaos, pure tension, pure epicness. love that game.

"Don't be mad at the theives" oh no no no, we will be mad but instead of being salty, we shall B-Line straight toward the ship that sunk us after we respawn and fight them with limited ressources just to get that sweat revenge, even if they already sold everything we used to own.
Litteraly some of the most memorable battles I ever participated in.

Sea of Thieves being considered one of the "older" Pirate Games made me feel like I instantly aged ten years

[loganreed]

Classic solo slooping in sot is an undefeated level of difficulty. The chaos of managing helms, repairs, cannon, and boarding all by yourself is chefs kiss.

Pirate games ARE still awesome. Problem is companies are only focused on taking players money

[Exeggutive]

“Why does ____ game always fail?”
Corporate greed, done.

[linop]

For Skull and Bones "Turning the ship is an unresponsive sleep paralysis nightmare nightmare nightmare" I spent three minutes laughing during the beta cause the very first ship you got control of, quite large probably a galleon of some kind, turned on a dime and it looked ridiculous.

The only pirate thing about skull and bones it them taking your money

[CatOnACell]

a lot of people forget pirates were essentially veteran navy men and 16-24 year olds who owned their own ships and went back to their countries to find a peaceful country with no room for them or their ships. They had no marketable skills other than Sea to Sea and Sea to Land combat and a good sense of strategy.
So, they made a crew and continued doing what they were good at. Naval combat. i would love to see a pirate game lean into this found family aspect of pirate lore.

"No one's ever gone to old salts atol for fun." Feels a bit prophetic, given how me and my friend were literally at that island yesterday, for no reason, just pointlessly island hopping.

[wirb]

I love Sea of Thieves because in theory the game is just doing quests that take you from point A to point B but it usually never happens like that. You could sign up for a quest that takes you to an island with an X on it, only to find a skeleton captain also there that gives you another island to go to, but on the way there a skeleton ship ambushes you and all of a sudden a reaper ship chases you. All of a sudden what was supposed to be a simple point A to point B has turned into you defending your loot from half the server in the middle of a meg attack

I think my favorite sea of thieves moment was me and the boys were running a brig and we were full of loot. We had a gally chasing us so we led it into a storm where we lost it. But it cut us off from the outpost we were trying to get to and another ship was closing in. We loaded the loot into a lifeboat before the ship went down. We then had to wait for the boys who spawned with the ship to come pick us up. When we finally got to the outpost we had to fight the gally's crew there to sell our loot. The whole process took about 2 hours and was crazy tense and fun

[petko]

Bro me and my friend were on a sloop getting chased by some 10 yearold german children on a galleon and we just ran for 2 hours until it reached 11am when they mysteriously logged off, we legit played them to their bedtime 💀💀

[elijahcasey]

Black Flag with character creation, more outfits, and selecting your own ships would be the formula for the greatest pirate game of all time.

[pizzabroadcast]

I can confirm that I infact DO sail around randomly in Sea Of Thieves to have fun and find random treasure, just embracing the world, its look, and its feel.
