Solitary Sailing and Isolation in Sea of Thieves

Ben Eberle of Gamer Professionals writes

"Sea of Thieves isn’t a great game, or even one that I plan on playing for much longer, but I have absolutely loved my time with it over the past few days. It’s an experience built with companionship in mind, largely based around the concept of four friends voyaging together on a massive galleon ship. This opens the door to role playing, goofing around, and simply hanging out in a simulated world. Playing with a crew is a lot of fun, particularly when everybody is well-coordinated and willing to work together as a team, but I’ve found an appreciation for sailing the high seas alone. I get a feeling of loneliness and isolation when sailing my personal sloop, which is meditative and rewarding in its own right."

Agree. But $60 for a meditation simulator? Yeah, nah.

Bhai2257d ago (Edited 2257d ago )

Yeah and I bet this trend will follow... gamers aren't waiting on for release of deeper content...
2 already down... i.e. both PUBG and now SoT didn't turn any tables around for xb1... and I don't see Crackdown 3 or State of Decay making much of a splash either...

Its bonkers how lukewarm these games are turning up to be... evenmoreso that there is just nothing beyond 'em on the horizon too... Getting my teeth deep into Yakuza 6 this morning (and glancing at my wallet for the beauty that's coming up in 20 days), I couldn't help but feel pity for this unwanted, overpowered paperweight they call the 'beast' heh heh... Meditation??? hahaha going this far to capture attention for it now? ;) XD

NorthernFrost2257d ago

I'm with you and I do agree that Sea of Thieves isn't worth its $60 price tag in its current state. This is the first game that lives via Xbox Game Pass, which I find fascinating.

It might not be worth $60, but to spend $10 a month to play it, along with a bunch of other games, is worth it in my opinion!

Bhai2256d ago

Agreed ^^^ to both of you!

TheDriz2257d ago

I think this game is awesome. I feel that it’s rare to not have some sort of tension while playing. I’ve never played alone so I cannot speak to that but if you have a 2 man or 4 man crew you are gonna have fun. There always seems to be another ship on the horizon and every night when I’m done playing I have a story to tell people the next day.

UnHoly_One2256d ago

I agree totally. It has quickly become one of my favorite games of all time.

TheDriz2256d ago

Same here. I will burn out in it but I never reach 30 hours with most games I buy and I’m easily over 100 already with this one.

UnHoly_One2256d ago

Yeah I've put about 100 into it as well.

Still nowhere near to reaching pirate legend, sadly. :(

TheDriz2255d ago

Yeah. That’s one of my complaints. It’s quite a grind

Must be weird for Xbox fans to see Sea Of Thieves at number 4 on the NPD charts

ravens525d ago

The "best selling" game!?!? Lol. The narratives, I swear.

PhillyDonJawn5d ago

No it's more funny than weird. Cause ps fans swore SoT was bad and didn't interest them at all 😂

helicoptergirl5d ago

Everyone knows a game can change in 6 years. The beta testers on xbox one are apparently laughing so you tell me. Well the definitive edition players look to be enjoying themselves. Thanks for your service

PhillyDonJawn4d ago

"A game can change in 6 years" 😂 no game ever.

CrimsonWing696d ago

Well, would you look at that Sony! Guess there’s an audience after all for this stuff.

JEECE6d ago

I wonder where the change from "NPD" to "Circana" ranks on the chart of lamest rebrands? And yes I know it changed awhile ago it just annoys me every time I see it.

anast5d ago

People like this game, despite the big puritan push against it.

Hugodastrevas5d ago

Stellar Blade deserves it, it's just a gorgeous well-optomized working right out of the box game. Would plat all over again.

This should be a warm welcome to all other Xbox games heading to PlayStation.

XiNatsuDragnel27d ago

A sign that xbox will become 3rd party in the future since there games sell better on playstation

P_Bomb26d ago

Sea of Thieves is a hit! Sadly Hi Fi Rush looks like it fell off.

VersusDMC26d ago

Love to see Stellar blade selling well. 2nd only to helldivers 2 in the US. Currently going for that platinum.

Where the F is Rebirth?! I wonder if people just don't know it's the sequel to remake. It is too good to be overlooked.

solideagle26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

I have been playing Rebirth for few days now but it feels like a mini game galore than an actual Final Fantasy 7 remake sequel. Too many mini games, I still think they could do whole Final Fantasy 7 in 1 or maximum 2 parts rather trilogy. This is my opinion

VersusDMC26d ago

Well i am not one for asking a developer to censor themselves by asking them to cut stuff out of their game...but you do you.

Remake and Rebirth are GOTY to me and you always have the original for you.
