Real pirate game? Pirates go on land afaik.

Lot of things I'd want to do in a pirate game that I can't do in this one. I'll just stick with Black Flag and Sid Meier's Pirates for now.

 

[Nauren]

Is this online only as in simple small matches or is this online only sort of like The Division?

 

[jimboton]

not likely

2 different games

1 is an ubi game

the other is designed to be fun

This, basically.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Was interested in the teaser. Then they started talking. Was thinking it would be a single player game. Oh well.

 

[Plumpbiscuit]

Fuck sake, this game sounded good at first.

I wanted this to be SP, with boarding, and underwater exploration.

I DO NOT want pvp MP-only ship combat and that's it.

 

[Nestunt]

No getting off the ship and MP only.

I got hyped for a minute for nothing...

This :\

 

[Masterspeed]

I'll get this because of the fact I'm the captain of my own ship.

I'm excited for Sea of Thieves, but having my own ship and doing my own thing is a big plus for me.

 

[Tonedeff]

This looks sick as fuck. I know this and SoT are two different experiences entirely, but good luck on Rare making that point to the masses

 

[Afrodium]

No shooter as impact on Counter Strike. Can do this all day. Like we can have only one pirate game. Stupid.

Pirate game isn't a genre like in the way that FPS is though. A third person pirate game can coexist with an isometric pirate themed RPG, but two third person online co-op pirate games released in the same year probably can't coexist, similar to Titanfall 2 being hurt by Call of Duty or Battleborn being killed by Overwatch.

 

[SargerusBR]

I feel so sad for RARE

 

[amnesiac]

At first I was excited because it seemed like this would be a modern Sid Meier's Pirates-type game. But it's just purely a multiplayer naval combat game? Eh.

Wish there was a pirate game coming out that wasn't multiplayer only!

 

[primovinny]

Overwatch had no impact on Battleborn

Yes, because Battleborn was a first-party game exclusive of plataform X with completely different gameplay.

Give us a break, please.

 

[SomeRandomWeirdGuy]

I'm a bit sad it's MP, but it's still dat amazing AC4 naval combat. I'll give it a chance

 

[A-V-B]

Fuck sake, this game sounded good at first.

I wanted this to be SP, with boarding, and underwater exploration.

I DO NOT want pvp MP-only ship combat and that's it.

Yup. They took a concept that people would like and sort of... did a 180 on what it needed to be. Frustrating as fuck.

 

[CopperPuppy]

Sea of Thieves will be fine. The world can handle more than one pirate game, and they appear to be very different. They both appeal to me in different ways, in any event.

Fuck you Ubisoft. This isn't what anyone wanted.

Quality of posting at an all-time high this E3.

 

[gamechanger87]

I'll get this because of the fact I'm the captain of my own ship.

You can control your own ship in SoT just don't get in combat. It's a pain to try and shift your sails when the winds change and you are on the guns.

 

[fermcr]

Crap...

 

[Nestunt]

I prefer to replay AC IV

 

[Sebastiano]

No... not like this Ubisoft... it looks great, fun and all but no solo adventure? No boarding? 0 exploration like in Black Flag...?

Will buy surely but I'm slightly sad...

 

[Stiler]

I really really hope that the mp part is only a fraction of the game and not the focus.

I was hoping the world would be like Watch Dogs 2, where mp is seamless and part of the world but you still have the single player and quests to find over the world with actual narrative.

Also if there's no off-ship gameplay, that's really going to be a bummer.

 

[bluexy]

Not sure how this thing can even be compared to Rare's game. It seems more like For Honor with boats whereas Sea of Thieves is Destiny with pirates. Or did Ubisoft misrepresent Skull and Bones scope?

 

[Realyn]

SoT has been playable for awhile. They have weekly alpha tests where they keep adding and tweaking components. The game is very far along.

Well, with very very basic sword fighting added as early as March to April. Come on, meant the whole game as an expierence.

 

[Chrisdk]

Looked like another generic Ubisoft game just more boaty...

 

[RocknRola]

This looked sooooooo gooood! It's basically AC4 but on steroids (and without the "boring" AC parts )!!

Is it really online only? Like For Honor?

 

[Maximus P]

Something about the cannon firing looked off for me.

 

[Gator86]

No getting off the ship and MP only.

I got hyped for a minute for nothing...

Basically. This sounds like shit, for me. Black Flag broken out and expanded would have been amazing.

 

[Moongazer]

MP only is a fucking bummer. Would've been all over this if it had SP. A pirate game without the Assasin's Creed stuff would've been amazing but I expected far too much out of Ubisoft.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

The only similarities between this and Sea of Thieves is the pirate theme and multiplayer. They can coexist.

 

[A-V-B]

This looked sooooooo gooood! It's basically AC4 but on steroids (and without the "boring" AC parts )!!

Also without some of the pirate parts. It's bizarre.

 

[Ashtar]

Would have been better if they just had the CG, just boat multiplayer with no land gameplay seems weak imo

 

[Xtars]

Man it looked like a 10/10 game, but then.... Multiplayer Focus.

I was so excited for a "realistic looking" deep single player pirate game. Huge disappointment, will try it out but damn it ubi.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

The only thing this and SoT have in common is pirates.

 

[titiklabingapat]

Looks better than Sea of Thieves.

 

[Theorry]

Cant wait for cannons not hitting ships from 5 feet because of crappy p2p servers.

 

[SporeCrawler]

but didnt they say it has singleplayer? if not that is a huge bummer

 

[Violet_0]

right now it basicallly looks like AC IV multiplayer battles. The video didn't do anything for me, but I'm not into these sort of games

 

[Art Vandilay]

but didnt they say it has singleplayer? if not that is a huge bummer

I thought he said that. Maybe misheard him though.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Curious to see if the PvP ends up being any good but other than that, meh.

Also pretty hilarious to watch people try to throw Sea of Thieves under the bus when they announced it lol.

 

[RocknRola]

Also without some of the pirate parts. It's bizarre.

True, there didn't seem to be any combat outside of the ships (or maybe they didn't show it yet at least).

But man...online only :S That's a bummer.

 

[A-V-B]

but didnt they say it has singleplayer? if not that is a huge bummer

He said you can go solo. You don't need a team. But it's still a multiplayer game.

 

[Lavalamp1138]

Things are not adding up! This can't be just some suit of pvp modes if we're calling it open world. We need more info!

 

[Combichristoffersen]

No getting off the ship and MP only.

I got hyped for a minute for nothing...

Oh.

Back to ignoring Ubisoft as usual then.

 

[LegalEagleMike]

bah wrong thread

 

[dramatis]

This looks like something they built after getting good reception to Asscreed Black Flag probably.

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

RIP Sea of Thieves.

 

[m_dorian]

Fuck sake, this game sounded good at first.

I wanted this to be SP, with boarding, and underwater exploration.

I DO NOT want pvp MP-only ship combat and that's it.

That is what i would have liked from a game like this along with some fun SP campaign and, why not, sword duels.

Ubisoft continues to disappoint me.

 

[Theorry]

RIP Sea of Thieves.

We are gonna get this in this whole thread right?
They are like complety different.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

We are in the Pirate era! So who's going to be the King of the Pirates?

Lol! I was not a fan of the navel combat of Ass Creed BF so I don't know if there's anything for me here but I don't know, good luck Ubisoft? I don't think this is any where near to killing Sea of Thieves like, at all.

 

[Agent Gibbs]

Multiplayer only? i'll stick to Black Flag,i want the option for multiplayer but a great single player story

 

[TransTrender]

Oh man, poor Rare.
This game will probably ship and be fully patched up before Rare can get theirs out of the door.
