What game can a man play where he feels the wind at his back, free upon the sea, ready to crack the mast of his enemies and revel in the spoils both subtle and gross of naval warfare of a most refined age?

This.

I'm not a fan of ass creed, but 4 is surprisingly good - the story is alright, the graphics are pretty decent, naval gameplay is fun and dynamic and you can upgrade your ship both hull/weapons wise and make some nice cosmetic adjustments.

It's a nice game. I only played the single player though.

Tempest probably. Some regurgitated variant of the sea combat from Voyage Century Online.

Unironically this. Look for the one without all the characters from the film.

Black flag was shit. It baffles me that so many people here think that it isn't.

>every battle plays out the same fucking way
>can't travel on the water for more than thirty seconds without encountering a dozen hostile ships so that you can tediously replay that one battle over and over and over again

And then the asscreed parts on top were even worse.

I am honestly surprised no one has taken advantage of the open world indie trend and attempted to make a pirate or sea game out of it set around the 1600's.

By in game economy I mean to imply there would be no quests or the like. There may be NPC's running around and ports to trade to NPC's with but nothing like that.

Crafting would be using base components like wood or rope to create objects from a preset list, so you can make a merchant vessel with tons of space or say slap an additional mast on your ship, but the mast and the cargo bay would always just be a mast and a cargo bay. Nothing like, "+3 Legendary Rudder of Agility", more like, "tall square rigged sail 2". Upgrading would only exist in how a ship is arranged, how many cannons per side or how much weight is held where or how tall a ship is.

30 eurobucks for an early access mmo with devs that can't decide whether to listen to naval muh sim grognards or lel I just wanna have fun :3 steambbys.

It's dying too. It's really too expensive and I've been watching the development for almost a year now. A shame, I was looking forward to it.
>>
>>342950560

Sounds like it's going the way of Elite: Dangerous. Too many great games that have potential to do early access right end up trying to listen to too many people and doing nothing right.
>>
>>342950880
The community is just awful. The devs aren't helping, with shit support, focusing on wrong issues and being indecisive as fuck.

Absolutely no free weekends whatsoever is fucked up too (inb4 poor) - no one I know would want to drop that amount of cash on a niche produce (in fucking EA!!) without any kind of trial.

Balance is retarded, fun features (winds, storms) won't get added (and if they will, in a very basic state) due to arcade players whining.
Lighter ships have no purpose etc., etc.

I wish I wasn't right. I want ships and this was supposed to be my fix for the next few years after potc.
>>
>>342951175

I saw this game a while back and yeah, I'm not willing to shell out the 30 dollars for it. Especially not with what I've dealt with in Elite. So many fucking parallels I can draw between that shitfest and this game, especially from what you're saying now.

What a shame.
>>
>>342951661
Oh there's a shit ton of more issues than I mentioned.
But the worst thing about it, is that there's a good game hidden underneath all that shit that will never see the light of day. That's what's extremely frustrating, age of sail games are rare - so to see one that has potential and looks good, but is nipped in the bud due to stupidity - that's hurtful.

AC4 is a testament to the powers of romanticism. It makes the experience of being a pirate on the Caribbean to be incredibly alluring, sailing from place to place with your crew to do what you want which I guess makes sense since "freedom" is basically the main theme of the game.

It's also comfy as fuck and all of those sleepy little pirate villages and whatnot look cozier than they'd actually be. Rogue kind of does the same with the Hudson River Valley and makes places like colonial Albany look comfy as fuck.
>>
>>342949186
It would become repetitive if you make it easy or grindy if you make it hard, what you are saying is fine but you would need more than a few game play mechanics for that to be fun and challenging at the same time.
>>
>>342949186
I'd kind of rather have a nice age of exploration game. Go sail to discover new lands for your country/empire, go full merchant, etc.
