Compared to Zelda or Odyssey it just feels like a different generation of design entirely, honestly, even the pacing shows it.

These outlaws paralyzed navies, halted international trade, and plundered vast fortunes. They threatened the power structures that ruled Europe, inspired the imaginations of millions, and left a legacy that still endures.

ArcadeLegend3
Every time this comes up against Zelda or Odyssey the vote feels more like nostalgia against actual design progress, and I think people just vote on feeling rather than comparing what each game demands from you as a player these days.

Did you ever go back to finish it?

la verdad q cuando lo jugué ni pensaba en eso, solo quería navegar sin parar
Coop_Ferrer
A ver, comparadlo con Assassin's Creed II y decidme si de verdad aguanta el mismo nivel de ambición narrativa que aquel tenía en su momento.

no entiendo el hype, es un ubisoft más con barcos
FrameKid2
El barco y la exploración marítima me atraparon más de lo que esperaba, aunque las misiones de tierra firme se sienten como relleno bastante pronto. Aun así no me parece que merezca estar tan abajo.
ThéophileSamurai
Sur ce point je le trouve plus généreux que Breath of the Wild côté ambiance, même si l'exploration à pied reste moins soignée que celle de Zelda
