Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has defended the decision to price Skull and Bones at $70 despite its live service leanings, calling it a "quadruple-A game".https://t.co/6xc6SqMOST pic.twitter.com/uMlwsTbby0

AAAA? Come on now Yves, the only games I've seen that could conceivably be called AAAA are the really high budget ones with highly detailed worlds, like TLOU 2 and RDR2 and the upcoming GTA 6. Skull & Bones looks like it was developed in like 2018, I legit see no noticeable graphics improvements compared to the E3 2018 gameplay. Somebody recently compared the naval combat to AC4 and found that it is actually worse than AC4 in many areas, sporting things like worse damage models (huge fire explosions when hitting a wooden ship with cannonballs which would usually only happen if the black powder magazine was hit) and floatier physics that make the ships too nimble for the era. Worse weather effects too. Pretty sad when your game from 2024 only offers graphics improvements over your game from 2013. Get out of here with this AAAA shit.
I really hope Yves decides to retire in 2 years at 65, maybe then there will be a chance of a decent CEO at least.
