 What is Sea of Thieves? Sea of Thieves is a Sandbox pirate game where you man a ship with a crew of people in search of treasure. Everything on the ship has to be operated by someone, and the game requires quite a bit of cooperation. Very little is currently known about the game currently, although they did release some gameplay footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQlsN6EO2oU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nc-7GHh5iP8 So this is like a Sandbox MMO right No, no, no, of course not; that term doesn't test well with the casual audience. Its a Massive shared world co-op Multiplayer game that you play Online.  When can I play this They are shooting for early next year with a beta sometime before that. Game looks like it could be fun, if nothing more than to mess around with for a little while. I am un-ironicly excited for this game. How do I play with goons? goons have a discord now: https://discord.gg/wtUFUE5 Doggir fucked around with this message at 13:48 on Oct 14, 2017 |

Robo Reagan posted:Hasn't this been tried with like three other games that have all died Yeah, but this one comes equipped with Microsoft's deep pockets; they'd never just cancel a game and let the studio go under.. https://youtu.be/2v9rtc2a0rQ

Alexander DeLarge posted:Cancel Fable 4 which was supposed to be set in steampunk Britain in favor of an $75 million dollar asymmetrical competitive multiplayer game that no one wanted. What could possibly go wrong? Haha, poor lionhead they where a great studio. I can only hope they come back under a new name with legally distinct Black and White successor; I would let them steal all my money if they Kickstarted that

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:What I don't understand with this game is how exactly does it work regarding who gets a ship? where do the ships come from, how does someone get to be in charge of one if you need a bunch of people to get it running. All they've shown so far is exploration and ship combat. If I had to guess based on what they've said is you make ships and once they sink they are gone for good, but that might just be wishful thinking. As for who is in charge they've stated everything is left up to the players to figure out. https://youtu.be/VNo-3QCwRtw This interview is the best bit of info you can get that I've found; the dev doesn't seem to want to say a whole lot, but if you read between the lines you can catch a bit of information about their philosophy for the game at least.

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:Would be kinda funny if you could fish out the crew of a ship you sunk and get them to join your crew, assuming they don't immediately try to sabotage you out of spite as soon as they got on your ship. Toss them in brig get to shark infested waters, have them walk the plank.

Uziduke posted:Navel action is only ships, and raiding and treasure finding is a big part of being a pirate. Also having to a real crew controlling the ship seams real fun. I need to practice my Barbosa lines from Pirates of the Caribbean. You forgot getting drunk enough to fall of your boat, that too is an important part of being a pirate. Alexander DeLarge posted:I'm really interested in seeing actual gameplay because they've been focusing heavily on the ships, but they seem like they're incredibly destructive and I can't see them being obtained easily... I'd imagine the vast majority of content is on land gathering/crafting/treasure hunting. They talked about ship battles being more of a rarity and not being sure if they are friendly or not and reputation of players blah blah. My guess is you get some sort of ship that man's a small crew for free to hunt down treasure. I hope that when your non generic ship sinks it's gone making ship battles mean something; they do keep referencing back to games like Rust/DayZ.

Usenet Magic-User posted:Yeah I am guessing there is some lovely free ship. It would be pretty boring if island hopping wasn't the norm and sitting on some super continent grinding it out and pooping on other grinders was. Nah, I really hope it just ends up being another WoW clone but like way grindier.. Have the ship PvP they showed us be an instanced BG.

Babe Magnet posted:It starts off kind of slow, takes a bit to find its sea-legs so to speak, but it's not awful. It gets really good quickly and it's continuously gotten better as more plots are developed, more historical pirates are roped in, it starts edging the characters towards what we know about them from Treasure Island (black sails being a prequel and all) and the budget growing I might have to check it out, hold me over till Sea of Thieves beta.

I doubt they will let you get marooned, they seem to want it to be casual friendly.

Kettlepip posted:Casuals can be just as good at being marooned. We just have less time to be marooned than you toxic elitist no-life marooners Filthy casual!! Being marooned has to leave you on that island for months until another ship comes by and hope they notice you!! And how they talk about the game if I had to guess it will have matchmaking going on in the background to limit how many ships are in one instance of the game. Especially since they keep talking about player encounters being rare.

Vittek posted:Kinda reminds me to Guns of Icarus. On paper it sounds really fun, but there simply isn't really a long-term plan in it. Something that is fun for a few rounds then it gets repetive. Unless they add alot more to it like exploring, leveling up etc. That is exactly what this game is supposed to have
