Seems to be the general consensus. Like pointing at a sandpit - "it's a load of fine grained minerals. Nothing else. No goals. Go have fun." If you can't have fun, that's more an issue with your interests and values than the plaything provided.
Sea of Thieves [XO, PC, PS, XGP]
- Thread starter Cyan
- Start date
the assessment of the game is pretty accurate.
It's a game of its own niche right now.
If there were more games like it, perhaps the review scores would be more valuable in measuring between like titles.
that would be awesomePlease don't mention battle royale in this thread. The next thing we'll see is a 100 pirate server with a lethal storm acting as the circle.
you should design games. Sail to islands to collect supplies. Sail off before the super storm destroys your boatPlease don't mention battle royale in this thread. The next thing we'll see is a 100 pirate server with a lethal storm acting as the circle.
I'd play the shit out of that.
Not trying to change the subject but Rare posted a video today about their week 1 update & list of things they're still having problems & plans going forward. New content will be covered once these bugs & server scale issues are ironed out.

Here are the v1.01 patch release notes...

Btw, the "death cost" idea they had slipped into last week's release notes had received near universal hate from the community & has been scrapped. See? They are definitely listening community feedback.

it requires a full reinstall btw.
I started just now. 18GB down.
Yeah a full new version, which means they screwed up Game Pass subscribers as it's no longer valid. A lot of pissed off people! Was hoping to play it tonight, oh well.

Wait, what? Why isn't the new version available on game pass?
Oh really? I figured it would just be a full download because they didn't want to wait the extra 2 or 3 days to get it setup as a differential patch. I cant recall where I saw it mentioned about that, maybe it was a dev notes thing.
It shows up as an update on the Xbox, and I only have it through Game Pass. I'll find out in 18.62 GBs from now.
You and thousands of others are asking the same question
apparently they've been working on fixing it all day.Yep people download the whole thing again and get an error that the game is no longer valid.
Good haul with Azbat last night, haha. Good times, can really lose track of time when you're out there. Another 1am voyage for me, totally way passed my sleeping curfew.

So launch day was 8 days ago? 1 million to 2 million unique players in about 8 days? That's a decent increase in players.
I expect this number to keep increasing. Concurrent players will drop off as well, but the game pass will keep pushing more folks to try the game out for relatively cheap. So I expect an interesting up down in concurrent players. But the unique number of players in a month will soar.
