From the start I was not really happy with where Ubisoft was going with this game, but we get teh games they make not teh ones we want. The bottom line is if they can make it fun without being annoying and if you don't have to buy coins or DLC to make ist fun then fine - I'll keep and open mind.

Who know maybe if the game dopes well we will see more "18th century ship" games and I will get the game I want. At the very least more pirate sailing ship games would be welcome. Telling history is so fraught to attempt to retell - for good reason - the story of life for many peoples was: solitary, poor, nasty, brutish...and short *.

* A nod to Thomas Hobbes for coining that sentiment.
