Skull & Bones Is Playable Early Thanks To Ubisoft Plus On Xbox

Nah, I'll wait half a year or so to give this one more chance. Had some fun during beta, but progression and overall grind seemed too slow for me. Too many other games to finish first.

Ubisoft still hasn't out together a catalog worth getting Ubisoft+ IMO.

The thumbnail image of this article makes me sad that Assassin's Creed multiplayer never took off.

@InterceptorAlpha I disagree. I subscribed at the end of December to ubisoft+ and played through / finished the Avatar game along with most of the achievements then played through / finished the new Prince of Persia and most achievements. In the middle of this I also played 1/4 or more of Assasins Creed Mirage and raced a few dozen races in The Crew Motorfest all before my subscription was up.

Now on the release of Skull & Bones I have subscribed again and will play S&B, finish AC Mirage, dive back into Division 2 with the new major overhaul with TU20 and all DLC included. That's another thing I like about the service, these games are the ultimate editions with extra content.

Sure these games are on sale a few months down the road but for $40 I have played through alot of content and didn't have to wait for them to become dirt cheap.

@oopsiezz That's fine.

Ubisoft lost me when they ignored my and other testers about bugs we reported for Assassin's Creed Unity 1-1.5 years before release. They showed flagrant disregard and dropped one of their worst launches to date.

They coupled with the conelte disrespect they showed Ghost Recon and Rainbow six while turning Assassin's Creed into a RPG were just a few, additional, nails in the coffin.

The Crew was a absolute travesty and Avatar was hardly anything to write home about. After about a dozen hours in it, for free thankfully, I wish I had my time back. If I wanted to play a good Far Cry game I'd go back to playing 2 or 3 instead of Far Cry Pandora.

I will give Ubisoft that Fenyx was absolutely fantatsic. But even a broke clock is right twice a day. But someone how Ubisoft manage to make it just once after how they treated the IP post release.

I will give though: if you're someone that absolutely has to experience the epitome of mediocrity that Ubisoft has become, then yea, Ubisoft+ is alright. For me though, my time is limited so I don't waste any more time with them than necessary.

@InterceptorAlpha Still surprised they didn't do what EA did for EA Play on Xbox and include Backwards Compatible titles. It wouldn't sell much better, but it's still weird.

Let's be real - Ubisoft Plus is both the reason this game exists and why it's a full priced live service game. They needed something to potentially keep subs instead of people paying just to turbo through the newest AC or Far Cry game.
