Nice lies.

but hey, at least the water looks good r-right guys

point out the inaccuracies please

it might be the worst game i have ever played
i actually can't get over it. if you can get it on the free trial, you absolutely must. you absolutely must experience how dire this product is.

Everything is a lie unless you can prove it, child.

have you even played this fucking thing? this is just scratching the surface

I think it's a little shallow in the amount of content but I think the game has a really solid foundation, and the core gameplay loop of managing the ship with 3 friends is fucking great

The PVP is a little jank but there's magic in sinking another persons' ship after stealing all their loot

It's sad how unknownworlds did a far better game with subnautica without MS money

>subnautica
>no multiplayer

>Pic a setting rarely used and with hundreds of cool possibilities
>Use none
Fuck Rare

I can't enjoy this as a solo player. You don't understand how frustrating it is just starting out a game collecting multiple chest then getting chased across the map by a larger ship with 3 people. I like the pvp aspect, but I don't enjoy wasting an hour of my life hitting a and d every 30 seconds then having my shit lost.

>sail with 3 friends for a few hours doing quests and killing skellys
>on our way back to outpost with 2 chests and 3 skulls, bout to collect that nice booty
>see another player in the distance for the first time
>"do we chase them or do we drop off this loot?"
>chase mode activated
>chase the player for a good 5 minutes, learning along the way it's a solo player on a Sloop
>they get tired and dock on a medium sized island
>we all jump off ship and rush him on the island while 1 of us goes to his ship
>"uh guys, our ship is floating away"
>see ship in distance, explosion onboard soon after
>ship starts to sink
>enemy ship starts to sail away too
>this stupid solo fuck boarded our ship with an explosive barrel and sank it, getting away safely with all of his loot

BUT DUUUDE, THE FUN!! YOU ARE FORGETTING THE FUN ... WITH FRIENDS

It is without a doubt shaping up to be GOTY actually.

I mean if you can find fun in anything if you have 3 friends with you. I feel like most 4 man crews aren't actually enjoying the game, their just each others company

So, is this Destiny, but with a pirate skin?

Actually funny as fuck

A mastermind

>getting outplayed this hard

ISHYGDDT

Not sure I agree, actually. When we played Dota, we would mostly scream at each other. Tried Stellaris lately, but 2.0.2 has too many fucking issues

>When you don't even bother to model the body of the Kraken but it's ok since your publisher wants to make a netflix game service.
Can Xbox do anything right anymore with their games?

I'm genuinely interested what makes you think this. what do you actually enjoy about this game?

Unlike the rest of Sup Forums I actually like Microsoft but this game looks like shit maybe they can add more content later but this game looks like a tech demo for water effects. Step up your game MS!

Hahahaha Blackwake fans still SEEETHING

>should we have the tentacles grab the player and pull them into the ocean?
>nah just have it suck them off the fucking ship with no warning regardless of their position on or inside the ship

;)

pirate games are pretty good for chilling and enjoying other people's company

i just cant convince my friends to ever pay $60 for this garbage

itd be great fun with friends for $10

Difference being NMS received and still is receiving post launch content while Rare will leave this game dead in the water

more like destiny with somehow even less story, content or reason to exist. then they sell you the pirate skin for ridiculous amounts of in game currency that requires DAYS of monotonous repetitive mundane "vayages"

The $60 price tag is definitely confusing

It should've been $30, but not on the gamepass. They'd probably make more.

>It is without a doubt shaping up to be GOTY actually.

haha either you're a shill getting paid premium rates to step into the eye of this shit hurricane, or you're a troll, or you're a god damned idiot. either way bravo

They have said from the start that sot is built entirely around updates. The only reason the game even exists is so it can be continuously updated so people with game pass will occasionally come back to it.

I agree, although after a few hours you'll legitimately run out of things to do

yeah but i'd expect that out of a $10

running out of things to do after a day in a $60 game is just why

i LITERALLY cant convince my friends to even install it for FREE because they watched a few minutes on twitch

You mean Assassin Creed 4 and Rogue being excellent pirate games.

>sell a game with no content
>bro they'll add the content later lmao
what could possibly go wrong?

it just works

>NMS is ridiculed because it failed to deliver 75% of what was promised by the devs
>This game is NMS because it's a shallow game
???

yeh even if your playing for free you still have to pay for the electricity to run it. A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

I unironically wish it was on ps4. I'll have to settle for Ubisofts iteration. Wish we knew more about it

game is comfy, pretty, and has good music though

There's not enough pirate core games

God I love this game if not for the griefing alone

yeh just what I want in a pirate game, no fleets, battles, exploration, mythical creatures, whirlpools, story, customisation, executions, treasure or reason to play

>game is only fun when actively working against it
rare should've stuck to making kinect games

Wow, you've played like, no bad games then if this is the worst you can think of

Not really, it is exactly like No Man's Sky. Launched to a ton of hype only to be very shallow and quickly forgotten, despite the core game being enjoyable.

to be fair this is barely even a game, wouldn't even pass as a sailing simulator

So no one hasn't debunked op yet..

except there are battles, exploration, mythical creatures, treasure and customization.

the game has glaring flaws, why the need to embellish?

credit where it's due though, the box art is pretty neat

Because everything he said is 100% true, he's not just roasting the game blindly. After about 10 hours or so everything mentioned is totally accurate. These are real fuckin flaws.

no one can

Dota is made to destroy friendships, it's not on the same level

yeh looks good bro

Even the Reddit boards are full of complaints.
I remember during the beta there was that webm of a ship sinking then flying up.

Are you fucking kidding me

This really is Microsoft's No Man's Sky. An indie game that was backed by the company and made into a flagship title that costs $60.

Sony was ultimately unaffected by No Man's Sky's failure, considering they have countless other exclusives, but Microsoft doesn't. The failure of SoT rubs off really negatively on Microsoft, and this was literally all they had this year.

I haven't believed it for a while but we really are seeing the beginning of the end of the Xbox brand.

I'm aware it's shit my guy, not arguing that the game is good, just saying even a shit Kraken encounter is still a Kraken

I remember when trolls actually put effort into their posts.

>did they ever sort out the anchor? all through production there was no physical anchor in the game ( they were planning on anchors being an upgrade you could buy through microtransactions, alongside sniper scopes... ).. the problem being, that the way the ship was designed, there was nowhere for the anchor to go. but from the layout of the ship you could see that the chain from the capstan went through a wooden box on the lower deck meaning that the anchor was clearly just being 'pooped' out the back of the ship. I know coz i was one of the artists who built the ship and questioned this design decision many times but just got shut down. it always seemed really odd to me that no-one had even looked at how an anchor works on a ship, in a game about pirate ships.

its still exploration, even if its dog shit

not a kraken though is it, its 7 or 8 tentacles that do nothing but wave around next to your ship until you escape

I can't wait for MS to shut down the corpse of Rare and stop waving it around after this turd, it's clear that what it is has nothing to do with the studio which made good games decades ago

>not a kraken though is it
you're right, it's AKSHULLY a wyvern

empty map with literally zero discoverable events, items, enemies or easter eggs. yeh it's better than nothing, but i dont want it

Fire tgis shill MS. He is just hurting your pr.

Wrong there are pigs in the game.

I wish it fucking was, that would actually be interesting

Sea of fetch quests

>3 types of enemy
>types of enemy

Since the game is on game pass I almost hope what they're doing is holding back content for the game and release more every month so they can just have people pay for the game through the game pass

I'm really just interested in seeing how it will work along with the game pass. The game is inevitably going to get shit sales because of the pass but just the existence of the pass means they still technically have a reason to keep supporting it with updates. Will they try to do the ubisoft model of dragging a corpse around until it's alive or will they just give up on it?

i wish
but at least destiny had enemy variety even if they their AI was never that unique

Classic Microsoft

why the fuck would they hold back content when this is the full release of the game? additionally, what has actually changed or been added since the beta?

>No mans X

they tried to warn you

Not him but all the more reason why it's not the worst, because it doesn't have enough content to even dissect.

i don't understand how the game was released in this state? there is clearly something here but it's nowhere near the point of being a complete game

skull and bones can't come soon enough

Remember, they canned Scalebound and continued to fund this.
Microshit, indeed.

nah Im just craving a pirate game and it's not like there are many more

The water IS super fucking pretty. Glad I played the beta then got a refund honestly. Super beautiful water.

There are literally thousands of flash games with more content. It's a disgrace.

Skull Man's Bones

Rare isn't an indie dev lol

because they want to sell game pass

this is nu rare, arguably worse than an indie dev

Just booted it up quick while listening to the Bombcast.

don't worry, you didn't miss out on anything unless you like jumping round an island for an hour with the only reward being that after you finish, you can eventually do it again and again and again AND AGAIN until eventually you can afford 1 fucking sail... then you got back and do it again.

sounds about right, the game economy is fucked. ship upgrades cost upward of £70 000, yet relics and skulls from missions pay out like £200. enjoy the grind

and there isnt even micro transactions to buy them right? what the fuck made this game take 4 years?

Its content m8

you will be able to buy pets for real money but cant attain them through gold or grinding. look forward to this content addition!
