    FWIW, the whining that I've seen in this thread alone is a good example of why I tend to avoid multi-player games LoL
    That's pretty much the approach a lot of us have to take at this point: We only know what we've gotten from E3 and a couple of ancillary sources so far, so anything beyond that is mostly speculation. There are some things that are set in stone (e.g. boarding), but a lot of other stuff we don't know much about (e.g. the "story" situation), so there's a ton that we're kind of sitting around waiting to learn more on.

    and DeeK_KayE failed to actually think of any ideas. If you read this DeeK_KayE. You're just barking orders at this point, ordering people to do things your way without any idea how to actually make it work, and when it doesn't you throw a fit. When you can actually think of a way to implement these options you want, then you can give a suggestion. Not orders, and especially not orders that end in "-and if it's not this way then the game is trash."

    Until you actually contribute for once, I'm just going to ignore you, as many already are.

    Thank you everyone else for being reasonable. Yes, I recognize that criticism is needed. But what a lot of people are saying just plain isn't criticism. They're mad that a game didn't turn out like they hoped. Yes, I can understand the disappointment, but at this point it's just turned into Blind Spite. They're not contributing anything, not even proper criticism anymore. They've already said what they don't like, and then some of the more spiteful ones start trashing on the game.

    ...Just get over arguing and either play it or don't...

    This.

    This incessant arguing thats going on in the forums doesn't encourage a community of discussion and healthy critique. It's childish at this point.

    For some reason I can't quote otherwise my browser crashes but I just want to share what Sloops09 shared on Page2:

    "All I have to say is that criticism is always going to come around, there will always be others who will be die hard fans from the title of the game being announced, they;re both allowed and shouldn't just be swept away like a rat, hear out both sides!...Just get over arguing and either play it or don't."

    This incessant arguing here on the forums has to stop, it's immature, it's childish and it doesn't encourage a healthy conversation or discourse about the game. Not only that but for new people who come across the forums and see 20 threads about PvP and boarding filled with people bickering back and forth it doesn't present itself well and is off-putting.

    If you want to discuss and critique and debate the game, do so in a manner that is respectful of all parties involved. We may be Pirates but even Pirates had manners.

    actually the majority WANTS to have manual boarding and other stuff like island/underwater explorations etc. but ok

    theres so many online open world games so I dont understand what you are talking about...and if AC combat doesnt work in multiplayer, then make a DIFFERENT combat...theres also lots of multiplayer COMBAT games, right? so I really dont need to explain myself to you again...I'm not really barking orders, I'm just saying the facts and the truth about what the majority really wants but ok

    Well, subjectively it does look like you're barking orders, but I digress.

    Please, provide solid proof that what you state here in the forums really is "what the majority wants". Do you have a verified database of all S&B fans out there? And does that contain the hopes and wished of every single one of them? How can you know what "the majority wants"?
    If anything, history has taught us that game forums and the like contain the vocal minority.

    Game forums represent about 1 percent iirc, same goes for comments on sites like YouTube/reddit/twitch etc and that's not counting multiple accounts tied to the same user to try appear like more of the community.

    Some people fail to realize that companies, especially game companies have their own market research division dedicated to finding out what players want in a game. These divisions go far beyond random social media postings to determine what should be included in the games they make before making these large investments.

    There will be aspects of S&B I'm sure I will enjoy, aspects I don't as well just like most games.

    Same claims, same argument, same hostile attitude towards other forum users and their opinions if they differ from yours.
