Apparently they have added in the ability to throw up into your bucket and throw the contents at someone to distract them during fights.
This is why I've missed Rare.

Can already vom directly on people's faces, obscuring vision. Not used that offensively yet...

WHAT
*Rushes home to play the alpha*
Haha yeah, found that once. Regretted hiding it at the bottom of the ship because it was so fucking difficult to go up two sets of stairs when you can't walk straight
Crossplay with X1 so wont be that bad.

Still wish this had a more single player focus.
I believe it will have crossplay, so playerbase won't be a problem.

With every alpha play through I love this game more and more, think Rare have something pretty special on the horizon with this game.
The first game I'll get for my 1S. Looking forward to it, this looks like it's about what I'm expecting. And fun as hell.
Shit, it also just made me realize that the only headphones I have are the PS4 Platinum. Hmm. I guess I could run a long-ass cable, if that would even work for voice....

The co-streaming thing seems alright, might try that at some point.

Yeah think I heard Joe Neate mention it during the Gamescom show. I need to play this.
I think they do. But i have no idea where they are at the development. They talk about alot of features but we dont see alot. Sure they are adding things the whole time. But is that only for the techninal build or is that where they are exactly with dev time?

One thing that stood out for me whilst playing the Alpha is the water, some of the best water visuals I have seen in a game, lovely.
Well, I hope they're much further ahead with what they're developing, because as good as the alpha is right now (and it is, it's fun, functional, pretty, and smooth), so many things still need to be added. And I'm getting worried, because even at Gamescom we're still seeing what we've been seeing for over a year. Even E3 only felt like a small update to a game that's going to need much more if it wants to succeed at what it's aiming to do.

If Rare can nail the end-game content, I can see this game lasting for a looong time.
I think tehy will once it's out of alpha and is more feature complete. They should not do it too early since that can go bad as well.
I hope so.
Don't call it a comeback

I know we can't mention specifics about what we played/saw in the insider thingie, but goddamn this game is absolutely beautiful.. lots of new stuff in the latest PC build.
Put about 6 hours in last night and I got struck lightening last night. I can say that, right?

Believe all the E3 footage was Xbox One X.
Talk about Crossplay and PC version. They dont have min, low, med, high, ultra settings but Cursed, Common, Rare, Mythical, Legendary haha.

It saddens me that this game has not reached the hype levels of "no mans sky" here when it will actually deliver on its promises. I dont mean that as a slight to NMS its more of a reference to how confusing Gaf is

Gaf in general isn't really high on ms, been like this for over half a decade now. Doubt it changes anytime soon
Happy it's not that hyped up honestly. People will call it "hyped too much" anyway no matter how it turns out. This game will surprise a lot of people luckily, they just don't know it yet
Think its just that people dont know what to expect yet. To be fair i dont know either yet. And at what stage they are. Is the release gonna be a full release or the start of early access?
I think when they start to show like real quests with NPC and maybe smaller boats etc. It can get more popular.

I'm definitely starting to get excited for SoT. Actually playing it made a mountainous difference in my perception of the game.

Sea of Thieves has the potential to be something very special. What's going to be very important is that they offer enough variety in the missions because after a few treasures hunts to the same locations a few times will surely bore the hell out of me. I can only speak for myself but that's the reason I quit playing Destiny quite early on.
Sadly we can't speak detailed about the ongoing beta though.

This game is going to sneak up on a lot of people when it launches.
In its current bare-bones, alpha state it is still very enjoyable. With more content and customization, this game will be GOTY material. It is just pure fun.
