Sea of Thieves - Avoid it Like Scurvy
7 years ago
This game....is awful. A joke with a bad punchline. It's honestly offensive that it carries a $60 price tag.
If you own it, I'm so sorry. I hope you get some measure of joy out of it but you know, as well as I do, that it has no content beyond repeating fetch quests.
The map to explore is incredibly small. Every island is pretty much the same. There's no real progression to this game because all the weapons and gear you can purchase are 100% cosmetic. Nothing boosts damage or armor or speed or anything. It's all just for looks.
There is nothing here. It actually has less content than Destiny 2. It's disgusting and disgraceful that this game, which has been in development for so long, ships at a full $60 with nothing to show for it. If you played the BETA, you pretty much played the entire game.
And the fucking trolls! Holy fuck, there needs to be a non-PVP server to this game. Assholes just shoot you, sink your ship, and all around ruin your experience for nothing gained beyond being trolls. And there's even a note in the taverns, where you always start when loading in, that tell players to keep it on the seas. You think that would mean they can't attack at the outposts but, guess what? They can, will and do. So what's the point of that? There's no option to report players for doing crap like that. It's just a joke...with a bad punchline.
I cannot, in any way, shape or form, recommend this game in its current state. It's like it's still in BETA but you shelled-out $60 to try it this time. They need a lot of content updates and every last one of them had better be free. To charge that much money for the same fetch quests, and nothing else, every piece of content to come had better be free updates to the game. New factions. New maps. Actual quests. New enemies. As it is, this game is fucking awful.
DO. NOT. BUY.

Sea of Thieves has nothing to work toward. None of the gear or weapons improve anything. They're purely cosmetic. They don't improve damage output, increase your damage resistance, or anything. It's all for looks. There's no campaign to embark upon. It's just float around a small map and fetch either skulls, chests or animals. That's it. And it's still $60.
Every content update, which better add actual quests, better gear, actual leveling and new maps to explore and enemies to face had better be free. If they charge a cent for things that should have been there from the start would be outrageous and unacceptable. As bad as both Destiny games are, this just set a new record of lowest of lows for a full release game charging $60.
I know Crash is coming this year to Xbox ONE, PC and Nintendo Switch in July. I know Spyro is being remastered don't know the release date yet but that will hit other console's after one year on the PS4. I know Cyberpunk 2077 or whatever that game title is meant to be coming out but I"m going to say we won't see until next year
