Sea of Thieves [XO, PC, PS, XGP]

I can try it with the Game pass too, good idea.

BTW why is SoT not order-able on Amazon?

No idea. Might be due to beta key.

Great post from Eurogamer on playing solo in Sea of Thieves. Matched my experience as well...

BTW, Rare has been adamant it would not be "Pay to Win". So I can't see how it could be F2P & not P2W. <shrug>

Hats. Beards. Various designs for the prows & masts e.g. well-endowed mermaid designs.

Killer Instinct Spinal skins.
Halo energy sword skin for the cutlass.
Halo pistol skin for the pistol.
Halo Gauss cannon model.

skins!

Ocean pets that follow the ship. Humpback whales. Megashark. Sharktopus. Gamera.

That's it?! Man I was ready for some more tough questions. I've almost hit 100 hours playtime. Need to cross that line before Beta is done.

The art is great, the premise is great, I just wanted confirmation that the game works well as a single player experience. Sometime devs force single player experiences into multiplayer and vice-versa, but I'm optimistic here.

Probably. They have been coy about monetization after release. If the pre-order items are anything to go by, I think it will be DLC packs & not the nickel dime microtransactions where you buy in-game gold to spend on cosmetics.

Yeah I believe pets like parrots, monkeys etc will be in the game. Not sure at launch though.

Nice Tommy!
You are one of few beta testers really committed to making the product better instead of just looking to try the game now. Make it great!

Thank you kind sir. Got testing to do tonight so I can give them feedback. Reminds me of when my full-time job was beta testing hardware & software. Except this is way more fun & I don't need to be paid to do it. LOL

Not giving much away but was glad to see a nod to Rare's history as Ultimate when I came across wreck of the Blackwyche on ship wreck island

 

[AzBat]

Yeah, lots of Easter eggs like that one.

Just got the official Closed Beta Summary via email...
