    No offense but maybe you didn’t pay close enough attention, since I got all of that but it relies on what I said for it to be true wholly.

    This is my rough summary of what I watched yesterday, as I’m not going to go back and watch it again:

    The video starts with him stating that objectively the game, in context of its development is a complete mess.

    Then he stated that he found he was enjoying the 20 hours he spent with the game and asked himself why?

    Then he stated factually that the game was fun because it is just flat out cool to be a pirate.

    He described the things he thought were cool about being a pirate all of which I found to be lame.

    Then he used those lame pirate things to justify the argument that in a vacuum the game isn’t bad.

    He lost me at “it’s cool to be a pirate” which was the foundation of his argument that the game is OK.

    Plus even if I had turned it off, that’s like most of the way into the video. So it’s kind of far to expect a person to watch something to get the “the game is fine, don’t pay much for it” result.

      It’s a reasonable argument. Perhaps my initial comment was a bit mean.

      What I find difficult is that it is a pirate game, very clearly. If you don’t enjoy the pirate theme, what were you expecting to get from a review like such?
      Perhaps you’re a fan of naval combat. Which, fair.
