They first line up was Spartacus (vocal, guitar), Wagner Cansan (guitar), Clayton Ferri (Drums) and Marcel Cousseau (bass).
It Splited in 2007, remaining from the original line up just Spartacus, wich was the song writer and composer too. His baptism name is "Carlos Fernando de Souza Silva". Worked solo for a few years, but decided not to change the name of band because it was already known in his city and country. At studio he himself record all instruments and sing all vocals, all songs (except covers) are written by him.
The influences are Traditional Heavy metal bands like Accept, Iron Maiden, Scorpions, but it's spiced from the musical taste of Spartacus from other bands like Satyricon, Manowar, Stratovarius.
The Discografy consists in the 2007 "Dresden", 2008 "Waking up songs", in 2009 "Roswell" EP, and in 2010 two releases, "Skeletons Exhumed' with 12 tracks and 'Under Cover', a legally licensed covers album.
In 2011 was released "Earth's Secret History", a fall into rock style, crude, primitive, with lyrics about conspiracy.
In 2012 Skull and Bones brought a album entitled "Conspiracy, Aliens and Nazis", with songs revolving around the main words of the title, this was a back to roots album, heavier, better produced.
In 2013 was released the single "Children of the Matrix", with Julia Thetinski as guest singer.
In 2014 was released the single "Changes", and two 5 track EPs, "Ancient Aliens of Damnation" and "No Return Ticket To Mars". The artist Spartacus declared in july 2014 that he intends to release a series of singles instead of full lengh albuns in the rest of 2014 and in 2015.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Skull and Bones's song "IV" convey a sense of empowerment and confidence. The opening lines "Tengo Mi Cash En El Bolso, Papi A Mi Ya No Me Gusta El Foco" translate to "I have my cash in my bag, daddy, I no longer like the spotlight." This suggests that the singer has come into her own and no longer needs the validation or attention of others.

The song goes on to address the singer's social circle, proclaiming that she has friends with whom she revels and girls with whom she parties ("Tengo Amigos Con Los Que Celebro, Tengo Amigas Con Las Que Perreo"). The chorus reinforces the sense of self-assuredness, stating "No me importa lo que me dijeron, Esta mina tiene piso lleno, Asi que preparame tu deceso, Perra yo no permiti tu acceso," which translates to "I don't care what they said about me, this girl has a full house, so prepare for your demise, bitch, I didn't allow your access."

The overall message of the song seems to be about asserting one's independence, dismissing negativity, and embracing self-worth. The lyrics convey a sense of defiance against those who may have doubted or mistreated the singer. The catchy and confident tone of the song encourages listeners to embrace their own power and not allow others to bring them down.

Ubisoft literally was THIS close to having it all. They had the absolute PERFECT blueprint in AC Blackflag! All they had to do was take out the "Assassin" in Blackflag, give the player the option to create their pirate and customize with gender, ethnicity, look, clothing etc and craft an epic narrative story of say something liken to Pirates of the Carribean at World's End. Where you are the last of the Pirate Kings and the East Indian Trading Company and British Royal Navy are after you and your goal is to find your very last hidden treasure to split with your crew to live out the rest of your days. Allow Island and cave exploration, swim to sunken treasures and shipwrecks, sword fight with other pirate factions, maybe even have mutiny in your own crew if they feel they aren't being managed correctly! Have mythical creatures like the Kraken, or cursed Skeletons etc. That would have been the pirate experience that EVERYONE would have thrown money at. Instead, they make a game that belongs on a mobile app. WOW

They have every resource to create the perfect pirate game. A mix between black flag and the exploration of Odyssey minus the assassin's creed stuff with you being able to create your own pirate would have been amazing. Looks like Black Flag is still gonna be the best pirate game afterall.

This game could've been so much. Like imagine slower, more realistic ship gameplay, which makes the ship so much more majestic and the game more immersive. They just needed sea of thieves+black flag but with massive ship battles and they wouldve had a hit

wouldn't work that way, SoT works because you got not many players/ships active, Black Flag only worked the way it was because it was singleplayer. none of those would work that well combined and also not with the size they are aiming for in terms of multiplayer

If this game had both land and ship gameplay i’d be interested in it. The ship gameplay in ac4 was great, but I would have loved a pure pirate game with the ac4 ship mechanics. I know we have ac4 already, but a pirate game that isn’t connected to ac4, but using what worked in that game could be compelling as hell.

it's not simply a clone of AC4 Ship Gameplay, they've improved it and added much more to it than AC4 had and tbh while i've played it last year and the recent beta, i didn't miss the Land or on-foot gameplay one bit, you can (and often do) disembark onto islands, go back to the Den (Hub Area) but also sail around much at the same time, the boarding sequence makes sense the way this game is designed and how it works and you never lose anyhting really by the way it is.

my #1 problem with this game is still the same to me. The best part about black flag was pulling up next to a ship, swinging over, fighting the crew, and taking over the ship. That was such an awesome high every time i did it. And this just feels like a worse version of that.

Flyon86

34w

Yeah, most fun in Black flag. But because every Ubisoft game has to be developed like a free to play mobile game they couldn't make that work. They could just have a single player campaign and then a multi-player campaign, but they're just chasing the recurring revenue of games as a service multiplayer.

But man, Ubisoft knows how to make water look pretty in their games!

Hgffbj

35w↑12

Honestly the water in Sea of Thieves looks more impressive to me even if it’s exaggerated and a little cartoony. The water actually looks deep and murky in Sea Of Thieves, and the depth of the water seems to control the color, viewing waves from the side you can see light pass through them and the color changes significantly there as well. This water looks above average but not a huge improvement over Assassins Creed

I record with a phone

35w↑4

I think the game will be fun, but nothing truly special we haven't gotten before. Like the people saying it's going to be awful because it's Ubisoft, I don't really believe that. The game looks interesting, I could see myself playing it especially as Black Flag is in my top 3 AC games. Basically just an average game release, nothing too awful and nothing too fantastic. Sort of like game junk food, but sometimes that can be good if you're in the mood for it

Seems like the kind of thing I'd buy on sale though if they're selling it for 60 bucks. I feel like 30-40 bucks would be a good price range for it

I record with a phone

35w

@Kdkjdjewerdnxa Both games have wildly different styles. Sea of Thieves has very exaggerated waves and more 'artistic' visuals if that makes sense. The water in the latest Assassin's Creed games tend to go for a more realistic depiction. Personally I think Origins/Odyssey/Valhalla have amazing water effects, and so does sea of thieves it's just targeting different aesthetics

Origins does have that murky depth you're talking about for example, and you can see light pass through it also. Both games have this feature. Sea of Thieves waves are much more of a spectacle on purpose with the way they rise and fall

Xiax4

@Sn1pEzTV only the main hub island. In AC Black Flag you could jump off your ship in the middle of the ocean if you wanted. They had a game with a great amount of freedom of movement and instead made a game that your welded to the ship while the fun stuff happens in a cut scene.

I always say the most immersion breaking aspect of most games these days is that you're very much constantly aware that you're actually playing the game and the world isn't real. With great immersive games you can zone out and forget, you feel like you're there and it's real. The old school Assassins Creeds were great for this, despite having intermittent hiccups here and there.

I would be a lot more interested in the game if you could actually meet infamous pirates that were around during the time period and form alliances with them. Whatever alliances you make could affect how your story plays out and affect relations with other pirate captains like turning them into enemies for example. Not being able to get off the ship and explore dense islands, towns, raid towns/ports/fortresses, and actually board enemy ships seems weird to me when the dev's push immersion. Being able to set up your own pirate base would be cool also. Ship combat is cool but if that's the entirety of the gameplay loop then it just seems like it will become stale over time imo.

As it stands, S&B just seems like a vehicle for Ubisoft to get that microtransaction revenue in a pirate skin.

Another Faceless Name

34w

The lack of boarding is the biggest thing, I think. If it's just a cutscene, and you get better rewards from it, then why not board everytime? The risk/reward aspect of boarding was something you sorta had to take into consideration in Black Flag; but here, there's no point to adding the sink without boarding option.

Its a ship combat game. I think some strategy game elements with a fleet of 3-4 ships and crew management system must be there.

I thought Skull & Bones is gonna be all that's left of me when the game releases but here we are, finally got something semi real. But damn from what I've seen here this is gonna be simplified Black flag combat without anything else that made Black flag Black flag. It's your 10 year old game, how can you mess up THIS bad?

LOL A crows nest isn't a cockpit but I did know what part of the ship you were talking about. The command area of a ship would be called the bridge.

Great assessment of the game. This is my second beta of it and I think you were very fair and kind to it. Since the NDA is lifted I'm pretty sure this will be the finished product. I'm having fun but I do question how much I'm willing to pay for the game.

I am genuinely interested in this game for the ship combat. But it should cost like 30 bucks imo, I don't think it should be priced like a AAA game

I love pirate games so will buy this. Have wanted a great realistic graphics pirate game since I was a kid. I don’t know why they don’t do natural progression between ships and land though, Odyssey did it amazingly, it was seamless. Same with boarding. But I still can’t wait for this. As you said, the game is ships focused, not person focused.

When we played black flag, all anyone wanted was basically that, a bit more refined, and add the ability to roam freely and set up camps/pirate towns wherever you wanted and build up your pirate fleet. Thats really it. This was about the easiest layup a game studio has ever had. I genuinely don't understand why they just didn't do that. But leave it to game execs to have absolutely no idea what they are doing or what gamers want. I can't imagine working at one of these places and having every good idea rejected in favor of a dozen obviously terrible ones.

This should definitely fall under the free to play games. That is what it looks like to me. Half assed pirate experience, and I bet it'll be litered with microtransactions. At this point just they should just release it because it'll probably bomb and bomb hard

This was probably lofty expectations on my part, but I was hoping for a more full blown open world pirate experience. Where you have land missions you can do like search for treasure and have sword fights and shoot people with your pistols maybe an honor system of some kind. Like on the ocean to being on land is like a good 50/50. Or if you want to be more on land then you can do more missions on land. Maybe even have your own pirate island where you can can become the ruler of and dock your fleet. That was more of the experience I was hoping for, but we don’t always get exactly what we want. I loved a lot of his points though.

you wanted what everyone else wanted, open world multiplayer rpg ac4. literally just ac4, minus the assassin stuff, updated mechanics and more focus on the pirate aspects like the fleet and the ships. they literally had the whole game there they just needed to remove the whole assassins creed aspect of black flag and add to the pirate stuff, obviously with modern engines they could’ve made the ships more interactive like you could go below deck and stuff and sail/own more than just one ship, and they could’ve made the crew more interactive almost like valhalla where you can bring them off the boat as a sort of backup, i mean they literally had all the stuff they needed to make the perfect multiplayer pirate game, but instead they made a naval combat simulator that just seems like a modern version of that pc ship game from like 2001.

The main deficit to me is the absurd lack of on-foot combat and exploration. That one element added would have me sold on this game.

I’ve been waiting for this game since the beginning i love ships of this era and being able to craft and sail all these different types is what I wanted from this game anyways, it annoyed me in black flag that I couldn’t have a different type of ship I just want my damn boat game Ubisoft

i'm no developer, but i believe that taking some gameplay features from AC Black Flag and Valhalla, making some tweaks and improvements, and implementing them here wouldn't have been that hard

Jordy

35w↑1

well all they literally needed was black flag multiplayer, they had the game, they knew what everyone wanted, and they also had the time to make this game as well, since it's been in development for 10 years, I just hope there is some kind of hidden game play that no one has access to, but doubt it.

Odyssey you mean?

Evan T

33w↑1

@tjyou realise odyssey came out before valhalla? why would they mean odyssey? the ship in that was awful, it was just black flag with arrows. they meant the interactive crew and openworld rpg features of valhalla, applied to black flag, then remove the assassins creed part of the game and make it multiplayer. they could probably churn that out in 6 months and itd be infinitely better than this shit

I was excited about this game since it was announced. Still, now I'm sad to see it isn't what I looked for in a pirate game from Ubisoft and the classic black flag experience, to say the least, but I'll stick to playing Sea of Thieves it's the closest thing that I was looking for in a multiplayer pirate experience.

I like the fact you did give it an objective look and not just dogpile it as a "modern Ubisoft game" but it really does reek of that and after hearing your thoughts on it seems to confirm that they wanted to make this a very heavy live service game, but due to the amount of delays it sounds like the passion for the game is beyond dead in Davy Jones's locker which is a shame cause I'd love a Black Flag spiritual successor, but this just doesn't seem to be it.

So many people say they could of stuck with black flag. Just because it’s a pirate game, doesn’t mean they need to stick with a 10 year old game. How the fuck would a game that’s based on assassins be made into skull and bones

Youd think they would mimic the captains quarters from black flag where you can access some things on the ship to take the load off of having to go to vendors

KaboosOnX1

For those that don’t know. This game is required by law to be released. Or else they would have canceled this mess years ago. I think it’s safe to say it will be a bare-bones micro transaction hell hole that will most likely not be supported a year after release.

I wonder how much cutting the on-foot gameplay entirely and simplifying it to 2D menu improve this. Aside from making it easier to do as players and require less resource for devs, it also lessens the expectation of manual raiding like AC4.

What about exploring your ship with your character and visit your captain's cabin? 5 years ago you could at least see your character stear the ship. 🤔. Not to enter other ships is a downer😑

Ever since that moment in Red Dead 2 where the gang ends up in guarma, I always thought it would be interesting if Rockstar tried their hand at a pirate centric game.

It’s somewhat up their alley in terms of concepts. An outlaw focused narrative and law breaking exploits with an open world traversed by foot or “vehicle”. Whatever it would be I’m sure it would be better than this.

Was really hoping these delays were leading to them adding on foot combat. Just seems like a such one dimensional game. If I wanted to play this I feel like I could just play Black Flag again and get a better experience. Just automatically winning everytime you board a ship. Not being able to do anything fun on foot. Just be on a ship and shoot other ships. I don’t care if this has a story, I’d rather just have a pirate sim game.

To me it feels like a drawn down version of black flag, i especially dont like how the canons look or potentially feel. What i mean is that in black flag you could feel the weigh of the cannons and their projectile send offs, which this game doesnt seem to have as far as ive seen.

Vinícius Almeida

They never showed interest in making human combat in this game and we know this, ship combat is what they are doing. We shouldn't be disapointed if it was never the idea, but is it a better idea? I don't think so, one of the thinks that made black flag the best pirate game we had was this perfect flow between ship combat, ship boarding, land exploring (with no loadings), cool animations when entering or ending a hunt or dive, finding caves filled with pirates and stuff. This freedom and attention to detail in animations gave us all that imersion, I don't think choosing not to give us more features and mechanics (that already worked in a previous masterpiece) is a better choice to make us feel like pirates

The idea was ship combat? Then why did they make it inferior to the ship combat in AC4..

This is looking to be a more of a multiplayer game. Resource gathering and shooting the cannons all look like their focused on quick and efficient movements. The lack of emersion in npc's and practically everything else shows me it's not meant to be pve centric.

Great constructive review, Jay! I swear, they better not get rid of Black Flag ship boarding and use this instead. This game should just come out and we should just take it as is. This game should not influence Black Flag.

I remember when Black Flag came out and people all said "this would be a really good game if they just took out all the dumb templars and assassins stuff"

We didn't want them to just take out EVERYTHING but the ship driving though... There's nothing here, no fighting on land, no reason to hunt for treasure, no boarding of ships to capture them.

TheCrookedClown

All the game needed to be was ac black flag ship battles with you and an npc run ship with other player's doing the same. And letting you get off your ship to fight using the for honor combat system with a bit of a touch up and there own both those things and never thought of putting them to use.

Despite the meh look and feel to this game I surprisingly would still play I love pirates, wooden sailing ships, and the like. But I highly suspect this game will lose all support within 6 months of launch so I’m not investing myself into a meh game just for it to be abandoned very quickly.

I would agree on not comparing it to Black Flag, since they are different games, but even Sea of Thieves lets you jump out of your ship and run on any island, for any reason.... So that is a let down, but this game still looks dope!

I feel the question that needs to be asked is, what kind of game would Rockstar make? I can’t help but think about Red Dead Redemption 2 and think that style of play would be amazing! That game truly made you feel like a cowboy. This game needs that magic for being a pirate.

James Warner

that sounds amazing! like get on this asap Rockstar, it will sell, probably break records! Take the proven formula of GTA/RDR, but instead of big city gangsters and wild west outlaws we play as the badass mofo Pirates = guaranteed success! So make that game then shut up and take our money, everyone's money!
