Skull and Bones is an upcoming pirate-themed video game that has generated quite the excitement among gamers. One player, DoctorNoots, recently shared their experience of caving in and preordering the premium edition of the game on the Skull and Bones subreddit.

Summary:

  • After initially being skeptical, DoctorNoots finally decided to try out Skull and Bones during an open beta and fell in love with the game.
  • They had a thrilling experience fighting against a named pirate captain amidst chaos and cannon fire.
  • The premium edition was just shy of $150 CAD, but the early access coincided with DoctorNoots’ birthday, making it a special purchase.

Positive Reception and Excitement:

Other Reddit users expressed their excitement for the game and their positive experiences. Mem0ryEat3r commented, ‘Woohoo,’ reflecting the general enthusiasm surrounding Skull and Bones.

AnihilationXSX mentioned that they had been a part of every beta and found the game to be amazing. They planned to stick with the Ubi+ premium version and buy it down the road at a lower price.

Technical Issues and Frustrations:

However, not everyone had a seamless experience with Skull and Bones. Fit_Series3836 shared their frustration with cheap gear, stating that they broke both joysticks after a 19-hour session. They now experienced upward stick drift, affecting their gameplay.

A Bit Pricey:
