the first update will make or break the game, hopefully it's not to far away
it does seem that way. there is a lot of valid criticism but a lot of people jump on the bandwagon without having played the game
it can certainly create some cool moments. after struggling to do a fort solo another friendly crew came and helped me out, after splitting the loot and getting to the nearest outpost they even gave me some more stuff as they had a bigger share. another cool moment was after talking to an npc in one of the taverns, she told me to go to devils ridge where I found a corps with a journal, inside was a map that took me on a interesting treasure hunt.

I not think it was overhyped but it seems a lot of people were expecting something different. I'm not sure how this happened as all trailers and promotional videos are representative of the final game and there's been literally hundreds of gameplay videos online for months.
@CaptainTragedy
Agree, the only rare games I haven't played are banjo and conker. I know I seem to be in the minority but I am absolutely loving sea of thieves definitely one of the best games they have made imo
@MakoD
I know about the combat and enemies. I have been part of the alpha testing before they got added. not sure about your fun chat room analogy. surely the sole purpose of this game is to have fun and there has to be mechanics in place to have fun. I 100% agree there needs to be more enemy types but the combat isn't to bad as it is supposed to be accessible. the whole idea behind the game is that any level player can join in and you can still have fun no matter who you team up...
I don't think it was ever advertised as exclusive. I think people just assumed that
yep the only problem I have is when trying to clear a fort when you sink a ship it can be come back every 5 min. when being sunk at a fort you should spawn much further away
looks like somebody else is spreading false information. there is an option for 3 player crew. you don't have to start as 4 then vote somebody to the brig until they quit, that is just not true
this is the first multiplayer game I have played where given the choice between shooting and being friendly quite a few people are actually friendly ( mostly sloop players ). I even had 2 people who brought loot back to an outpost after we joined up for a raid and dropped some at my feet because they thought they had a bigger share.
crackdown 3 will be another disaster but I think sod2 could be something special
yep as much as I'm loving it 5-10 years is a joke lol
@MakoD
First of all love The Thing quote but saying there's literally no game is a little harsh. there're people having plenty of fun myself included. I totally understand why some people don't like it but lets at least be critical instead of just bashing it. to be fair I can't ever remember having so much fun in a game that has so much negativity around it. one thing I do know is the first content update will make or break the game
I've been hyped for this game since I first saw it about 4 years ago. reminds me of snes Zelda but darker
not sure Microsoft have got much to do with it. capy are developing it and it's multiplatform
@Chaosdreams
you said 'charge them for gold' what you meant is charge them for dying with gold'.
So do you think there should be no consequence for dying?
rare aren't charging anybody for gold, I think you have misunderstood the article
that's what I'm worried about
I agree. nearly ever game since the beginning of time has had a consequence for dying even if it's just starting from a previous checkpoint. I think it will improve the game, hopefully people will start to team up to take on forts now instead of fighting each other
the goal is to get each faction to level 50 I think to get access to a secret hideout
