There's 194 comedic videos in Smosh Games' 'Honest Trailers' playlist. Any particular reason you linked this one here but not the Uncharted one or the Horizon Zero Dawn one or the Fortnite one or the Zelda:BotW one or the Overwatch one etc. in their game threads?Thought this was funny.
I’ve seen some of your other off cuff comments in other threads, so don’t mind me if I make some assumptions about your post here. Your contempt is showing, and it’s pretty unwarranted. Can you imagine a world where you didn’t have to do this? And just enjoy the games you play instead of having to come here and try to rile folks up to prove a point that has no correct answer?Thought this was funny. Seems like Gaf is falling out of love quickly, how's it holding up after a few weeks?
The 2M players claim included game pass, but the sales did not, so the sales numbers are probably significantly lower than 2M.Some of the more "hard core" gamers (who don't like games without Power progression) I've seen are losing interest at anywhere between 6-20 hours. If they got it on game pass, that's not bad for 10-12 USD. Even at 60, that's a somewhat reasonable amount of playtime.
But some are still really into although they're really wanting new content drops. The more casual players seem to be continuing to have a blast.
I wish there were sales numbers for the game. But MS was claiming it's the fastest selling (1 week) new IP of this generation as well as fast selling Windows Store PC sales ever (not exactly a high bar to pass there). Not including Game Pass as those don't count as sold games.
Anyone know off hand what some other 1st week sales of new IP for this generation were? Don't want to turn this into a pissing contest, so can PM me if you don't want to muck up this thread. I'm just curious to try to get an idea of what SoT would have to move in order for MS to make that claim. Whatever it is, it has to be less than 2 million units in 1 week as that was the number of unique players they had after the first week (over 2 million players was the claim).

That’s a pretty low number.I logged in last night to collect this and then find out what happens when you sail off the map:
https://www.trueachievements.com/n3...crew-eye-of-reach-and-increases-customization
And was surprised to find an interesting metric. The achievement for buying a new eye of reach has only been completed by just over 6% of players. I find this remarkably low for a game whose entire progression system is based upon buying customizations for your characters.
Take it for what you will, it's just one data point.
likely ever logged in. Or who are eligible for it.Does that number fluctuate based on the amount of active subscriptions or subscriptions+owners in total ever that logged in?
The 2M players claim included game pass, but the sales did not, so the sales numbers are probably significantly lower than 2M.
SoT sold 22,695 week 1 in the UK (which is close to what Quantum Break sold week 1). After 3 weeks, SoT has sold a hair under 41K in the UK, which does not include digital sales. (edit: Also does not include PC) The US is often times roughly 10x the sales of the UK to give you some rough perspective.
Horizon Zero Dawn is the fastest selling new IP of this generation (all platforms) and it sold 2.6M in 2 weeks. For an apples to apples comparison, HZD sold over 100K week 1 in the UK, again not including digital.
Both claims from MS were made week 1, so clearly MS conveniently left out 'Microsoft' from their 'fastest selling new IP of this generation' claim. So that means SoT is going up against the likes of Quantum Break, Ryse, Sunset Overdrive etc.
This. Achievement percentage is based off those who downloaded & played the game & those that got the achievement. So that includes anybody who has used Game Pass to play it.likely ever logged in. Or who are eligible for it.
LOL yeah I feel like a real pirate without having the huge expense of buying a real tattoo. Just need a tricorn now. LOLAt first I wondered why they sent you 1 sock.

Releasing in July, Cursed Sails will bring a new threat to the seas in the form of terrifying skeleton ships. We will be introducing these to the world by way of a time-limited campaign, providing a new threat and challenge for players to take on for exclusive rewards. Beyond this, they will remain as emergent threats in the world for players to take on. We are also introducing a new ship type – the Brigantine – for up to three players to adventure on. This is the first new ship players will be able to get their hands on, and we are committed to continuing to expand the Sea of Thieves fleet.
In September, Forsaken Shores will reveal a new part of the world that will test the skill and nerve of even the most hardened crews. This is a volcanic area, and any crews setting sail into this part of the Sea of Thieves will be committing to an arduous, difficult voyage filled with danger. Rocks will rain down from the skies, the seas will be rough and every adventure will be fraught with peril. Accompanying this, we are also introducing a Row Boat for players to use, supporting them in navigating this perilous new world.
Before all that though, we will be beginning our regular in-game events on June 12, when we introduce the time-limited Skeleton Thrones event to Sea of Thieves. The events will give players new goals and rewards on a regular basis, outside of our Content Updates and the time-limited campaigns that accompany them.
