SEA OF THIEVES KRAKKEN ENCOUNTER
youtube.com
OH NO NO NO
AHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
IT IS LITERALLY JUST A SET OF DISCONNECTED TENTICALS THAT TELEPORT THE PLAYER TO THEM. NO WRAPPING AROUND THE SHIP OR ANYTHING LIKE THE TRAILER
AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHHA
hahaha
This game is going to flop so hard, almost feel bad for Microsoft
literally no one cares becuase we are all going to fucking play it anyway you retard for 10$
*Breathes in*
>mfw it's $90 in my country.
>they blacken the sea so you can't see that they're just tentacles
>no monstrous Kraken mouth waiting for you underneath the water
That's disappointing.
>we are all going to fucking play it
we as in you redditors? kill yourself lmao back to
Don't, they have more money than Sony to throw around for exclusives
But they don't have the will to do so since they just assume the Multiplats will move systems.
>RARE IS BACK
>4 years later
>this is all they have to show for it
Damn...guess its back to kinect shovelware and mincecraft skins after this
literally doesnt matter because they are using it to sell a subscription service.
JUST
It's okay when Microsoft does it.
Meh, the implication of what the kraken is, is still really cool. I'm a little disappointed it doesn't wrap itself around the ship though. I'm sure there will be complaints regarding this.
So there is a total of 3 enemies in the game?
>Kraken
>Skeletons
>Other players
i believe the reason why is because the black water and the absence of a body motivates players to remain on their ship through the entire encounter. it is better this way because then we would have a lot of crew members randomly jump in the water to get a screenshot for the internet, plus creating such a thing would take a massive amount of code and development just to have frames drop when it spawns on the server.
rare's version is much more simpler and people say that the head will appear on the surface once all of its limbs are damaged.
Mermaids
shark & sea monsters
Sharks that you can kill in 3 hits with your sword.
Now watch me whip... now watch..w-watch me... 4kkuuaaahhiieee.....
>the implication of what the kraken is, is still really cool.
And that would be what?
wow... that much streaming?
I think at the end the game may end with a decent enough playerbase, which is important
*drowns*
This game just keeps failing to live up to the hype surrounding it. The more I see of the game the more I see everyone who gets sucked in on day 1 are gonna be raging after a week.
Dont worry you will have your true shitposting material when the NPD numbers are out in 2 weeks. Since nobody is going to buy the game everyone is just going to use game pass
This is how most 3d models work in games, to be fair. If you can't see something through normal gameplay, it probably isn't modelled.
You're clearly not supposed to actually see that there isn't actually a full kraken below you.
No, that much watching. This game might be popular on Twitch, but it's not gonna make people go out and buy an Xbox JUST to play Sea of Thieves
I'm betting that they will wait until the game is out for everyone before they add the ability to kill.
>hype surrounding it
literally no one wanted this, it's just youtube/streamer trash
One example is that Mario straight up doesn't have a lower body in a few Mario Kart games. The kart IS his body.
Since you'll never see inside the kart in normal gameplay, there was no need to actually include legs in there.
>implying the implication is good
Look up the youtube series "boundary break" and you'll see this shit is super common in games. There's no point wasting resources or processing power on something the player won't see in regular gameplay.
Not a chance
I WANTED SOME DEEP SEA NIGHTMARE FUEL
IT'S SO FUCKING BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING.
I expect some foresight from devs. That thing will teleport you into its tentacle mouths, and if you survive you will drop into the water and very likely see that they're just floating tentacles. Tricks are all fine and good, but you should pull them off properly if you use them
Thank God, no Shadows of the Empire PTSD for me.
Could it just be glitched? I doubt something like that is intentional.
the game looks so fucking boring
is it out already?
ENJOY
It doesn't make any sense to have the tentacles so far apart when they're relatively small.
>youtube.com
Why the fuck is the guy in the video freaking out like a goddamn retard?
That is not a comparable situation.
Mario body is blocked by a physical existing project, over here we have the dev blacked out the clear sea just because.
He's a streamer, fake reactions and part and parcel of streaming.
According to the youtube comments it actually can wrap around the ship, it just didn't happen in this encounter for whatever reason. It might have been glitched, which could also be why you can see the disembodied tentacles which no semi-competent developer would allow to happen through normal gameplay.
The issue isn't that we're seeing something we're not supposed to, it's that there SHOULD be a body to go along with the Kraken and the black water thing is just lazy. How fucking terrified would you be if the Kraken grabbed you, threw you off the ship, then while you're underwater trying to get back you see this big fucking monster under the ship? Instead you're fighting tentacles that suck you off the ship (the fuck?) and a bunch of pitch black water.
PRO HINT jewtubers and streamers are getting paid to play it and shills are posting on reddit and Sup Forums. its all been proven numerous times.
>All caps
>HAHAAHAHAHA
>OH NO NO NO
Is this the extent of someone whose existence is to find another TORTanic? Just relax man, mind your blood pressure.
It will wrap around in a stock animation if the player fail to attack the tentacle.
The animation varies by ship size and thats pretty much it.
the only thing that matters is that the controller is pretty dope
>dev blacked out the clear sea just because.
You do realize most of the time in games / media / myth Krakens have Ink attacks right?
I thought the Xbox Direct thing last weekend killed everyone's hype anyways
>no huge gaping maw to under the water
Fuck this shit game, the kraken was the only thing that really interested me about it
>Tfw unironically getting Gamespass since it has a fuckton of stuff
Actually got to replay the Fable 1 and 2. Good stuff.
"Rare has said there is a body, the Kraken was not taking enough damage so it fled, you have to destroy all its tenticals in order for it to reveal its head and kill the beast. They did not kill the kraken. Rare has also said the kraken will evolve as an enemy and can differ from every update"
From the comments. Could be bullshit but I trust it more than anonymous OH NO NO NO shitposting in this thread.
This game has a fraction of the content and polish that Tortanic did. This game makes Tortanic look like GOTY
Lazy explanation for a lazy boss fight.
Oh man that makes this way better then, I thought it was just lame but now I know its realistic.
The Kraken is an evolving encounter. Devs have stated as such. Whilst that pisses me off, because I want to see a fully modelled Kraken, it seems all you do at the moment (and backed up by the achievement) is drive the beast off. I reckon eventually we shall have the Kraken become more aggressive in the game world and breach the surface instead of fleeing.
I'm still pissed off though. Everyone was hyped for the Kraken and Rare half assed it.
I don't understand how the devs thought this game would have longevity. Surely this can't be all there is to this game right?
I'm still going to buy it but wow was it to much to ask to get a good pirate game for the first time in 10 years?
>Tortanic
>polish
What?
It's only barely acceptable now after years of fixing that broken game, it was fucking awful on launch.
>Mermaids
Are the mermaids even enemies? Last I'd heard, they were basically a Lost Sailor Transit System.
>hype
lel
what hype?
It's not fucking fair xbros. Fucking Sonyfags keep getting all the best games
>Evolving encounter
Is that marketer speak for early access?
I'm getting huge No Man's Sky vibes. I don't understand what people are supposed to actually be doing.
And does that explain the shitty attack animation of sucking the player off the ship instead of grabbing it? Like seriously, what the fuck? It just looks bad and makes no sense.
That's precisely what they are.
If there are enemy mermaids, I didn't see any. Only the ones that appear after your ship is destroyed.
skimmed the video, what the fuck was even happening
No, they don't, I struggle to remember one time where this happened.
I am not justifying how bad this shit looks in terms of gameplay nor am I disagreeing it could be cooler with a full body. But there is some sense to having the water be entirely black given the Kraken is usually a giant fucking octopus.
My point is just chillax.
don't buy it full price, just pay for a month of game pass for $10 or use its free trial. fuck paying full price for this shit
My friends and I played the last beta. We had a lot of fun but is that all there is to the game? It didnt seem like there were any new weapons to get, no weapon upgrades, let alone just a side-grade. Only those 2 ships and we cant buy any others can we? cant even change the weapons on the ships to something like grapeshot or a harpoon
Sort of. They are obviously planning to update things into the game. I guess the full Kraken fight is one of them. For better or worse.
What sea monsters are there aside from the Kraken?
Sea Serpents? Sirens? Scylla? Lots of sea monsters start with S I've realized.
Black water surrounded the ship, huge tentacles came out of the water and.. sucked players off the ship towards them? Then threw them into the water after they took some damage? Then just flailed there, not moving closer or attacking or anything, until the players did enough damage to them for the Kraken to leave.
>this is the big game Microsoft has been pushing at e3 for years
i honestly didnt think xbros could be any more JUST
There is an interview where someone asks a dev if he is going to show them what the Kraken's body looks like, and he says that the fans are going to have to wait and discover it for themselves. This is nu-males sky all over again.
Most depiction of Kraken have it well described as a fucking giant squid.
Don't made up shit you don't know.
Maybe there's supposed to be a grabbing animation that didn't play for some reason, and the player got "sucked" off the ship due to the mechanics still being there anyway.
Oh missing animations, that makes me more confidant
They've had 4 years of dev time and have less content than most indie early access shit games that have been in development for 6 monthes.
Animations failing to play is a fairly common glitch
>I wanted this thing
>IT'S NOT IN THE GAME
>WHAT KIND OF KEK SHILL SHEEP WOULD BUY THIS AHAHAHA
fuck you, you falseflag faggot.
My boi said it's good and that's good enough for me. Buying it day one with my friends.
It looks completely void of content and gameplay. How long has this shit been in development?
A missing or bugged animation is better than the tentacle attacking being that way by design.
I've looked at game pass and I don't see any reason to get it. I don't really like vidya anymore. But I grew up with pirates gold on genesis and if you could at least plunder ships and sell the cargo or make money being a merchant the game would be awesome.
I agree. I don't really see much to do. Very problematic.
It seems like the game will run out of content preeeeeeetty quick.
It'll probably be a flavor of the month game with streamers and youtubers playing it, before dying down.
And since it's no purely competitive game I don't think even a small dedicated community will persist.
Maybe the actual fight is a bit fucked right now(I personally think it's glitched) but admit it, this shit looks fucking awesome from a distance.
After you grind 100 hours of fetch quests, you get to go to the hideout, which will give you a legendary ship in June
I'm not excusing their development process. I'm just saying, they plan on updating content gradually.
Only sharks. And they die in 3 sword swings, so they arent even a threat.
Game looks boring.. what do you even do in it?
it's clearly sucking up the player with it's "mouth" at the end of the tentacle.
pretty disappointing compared to that bullshot in the OP
It's still one of the best pirate games.
>Family Guy jokes
Who the fuck is this asshole?
>Sea of Thieves lets you be whatever you want and play however you want
We all remember NMS you naive twat.
>ten year title
>"avoiding destinys mistakes"
It's gonna sink faster than a sloop.
How do we stop SOT lads?
While I admit that this game isn't the greatest thing to grace consoles, it's one of the first in a long time to really make me feel like a pirate and I'm confident that Rare will add/fix things in the future to make up for a few shitshows on release. Give it time, people. The game at the moment is nowhere near as bad as No Man's Sky.
