Sea Of Thieves Xbox/PC Game - No Man Sky 2: Electric Boogaloo

[RJ MacReady]

Ah yes the old "our game isn't shit! it's just too deep for you to understand!" Defense.

They're trying to tell players to make their own fun, except that only works in open world games like Arma and Rust because their PVP focus makes them endlessly replayable.

You have players doing this by roleplaying or amassing loot and not turning it in so they can defend it, but that only goes so far with the barebones game they have. You can't interact with the world at all except by walking, sailing and shooting skeletons. Even DayZ has more to do and that game is dead.

the dayz mod had more stuff to do at launch.
this game is a ripoff and I have the feeling that all their first party games from now on, will be shallow just like this.
Or else they would not have put them included with their gamepass shit.

why was it hyped for so long, only to be shit? do they know something we don't?

I think it was angled as Rare's big comeback to first-party titles after years of being on the sidelines making shitty Kinect games.

and also it is their first, first party release, in a long time.
seriously, what was their last big budget title? halo wars 2? I don't even remember.

this game has flop written all over it.
no content, nothing much to do, you can play it for 10 bucks and it's on windows10 store.

it's like they actively want this to fail.

it's a deliberate attempt to get you on game pass, because satya's whole strategy for microsoft is to do what Adobe did and basically turn everything into a recurrent subscription.

This reminds me that I never finished Black Flag.

This is a shitty alpha being sold as a finished game.

Well I've been playing sea of thieves for about a week now and I've been enjoying it. Especially with friends from work since it's on PC now.

Also excited for season 3

Friends of mine told me you can troll the fuck out of people in this game. Majority of posts in this thread are from 2018 so surely this game has changed since then.

I wonder too. My Xbox fanboy friend tried to get me to play it at release and it was boring as fuck. He's trying to get me to come back now that Johnny Depp is in it (I don't give a fuck, but he's always had a hard on for PotC movies) and he swears it's better now but I think he's just desperate to get a group together again.

I got it on steam sale for $26. Guess I'll find out.

The game is a solid 'fun with friends'- solo you're gunna have a bad time.
Played it a few months back then took a long break; if you got some buddies to fuck around with its good fun.(Until you burn through all the content in 2~ months)

Should be a bit better now since all the sweaty players will be diluted by the masses coming to play as Jack Sparrow.
