Really? Ah shit, I have it legit on steam so it should use ubi launcher but I haven’t started it in a while.

Yep, I don’t know what happened with the reviews lately. I know they did something with the servers, maybe with the PVP server so that might have made all those players angry.

I don’t have any DLC ships, except maybe for some gifted ones and I only play solo pirate/merchant on the PVE server and don’t engage too much with the community.

It is a very slow game, combats takes ages as well as trade runs. But that is what I like in those games, I just relax sailing and trying to demast some merchants. Maybe if I was participating with the community (port raiding for your nation etc) I would be angry too.

It is, but you have to progress a little in the AC story (or download a save somewhere) and then only play the naval gameplay.

Although it is nice to be able to walk on a small patch of sand looking for a treasure or going to a city. It is an AC after all so foot and parkour gameplay is good. It offers a nice change of pace from being on your ship. Unlike the – Ahem – quadruple A Skull & Bones…

From the creators of Cold Waters you have Sea Power, I like it a lot but it is more about strategy fighting with missiles and stuff from the Cold War rather than really enjoying sea.

Ultimate admiral dreadnoughts and War on the sea are also cool options for naval warfare.

Ships at Sea for normal modern sea stuff (fishing, cargo etc).

Naval action for slow wooden ships in the Bahamas.

But the best pirate game still is Assassin’s Creed Black Flag. You can mod it a little and find good shaders to have it look a bit better on today’s hardware.

(I often play Assassin’s Creed Rogue on the Steam deck as it is the small successor of black flag and looks very nice on this screen size)

Non-spoilery review: It’s cool.

I kinda like all AC games but I also really enjoy this one. I love playing a stealth assassin and Naoe (the Japanese girl) perfectly fit that gameplay as she is not made for frontal assault.

The other character is also nice to sometimes have a one man army, if you want to disconnect your brain and just go head on an enemy group, it is a welcome change of pace when you want that.

Ubi’s Open World are graphic wonders as always but this one is a step above. I am really used to 4K HDR gaming and this game is probably the best looking one I have on my PC.

As a side note, I took a Ubi+ for one month to play it and will buy the game when there is a discount.

Please make a 45 minute tutorial video to share that knowledge 🙏

Mine does the same (well, even less trusty addblocks are blocked).

But I found that copy/pasting the profiles folder of Firefox does the trick. In this folder there is an extension folder and xpi files that I can backup on the corporate cloud + usb drive to restore all my extensions.

Cause yeah, extensions are blocked but pasting into %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ is not :)
