Same. First game I got three kills and got to the last ten, where a handful of them started building what appeared to be tower blocks. They’re all up in the sky shooting at each other and I’m down below trying to figure out how to change weapon. Becomes abit more than just your average shooter game when you get down to the last few.
 
Sea of Thieves then.

No way of adding mates to a party in game. You have to use the xbox app. Nice! Also no way to quit the game in the menus, you have to fire the game up and then exit or ctl, alt, del you way out.

Minor issues really.

Game runs well. Looks good. And their website is down. Still, had a good run in with another 4 man ship ending up with us firing 2 of our party at them which in turn meant that they boarded their ship and killed the crew.

2 went to bed so we switched to a sloop and had fun running rings around a galleon.

Not bad for a first run through.
 
Just finished my first 3 hours on Sea of Thieves. Really enjoying it. Was playing solo in the sloop for a while doing a few missions.

Turned around after using the map table and some crafty pirate was stood right behind me after sneaking on my ship. I cacked me pants haha. Thankfully he didnt put a bullet through me and we both sailed along in a small fleet doing missions.

Great fun. Cant wait to play more this evening.
 
Had a few hours today...still a lot of niggles, lost 2 lots of gold totalling 10k, supposedly getting it back at some point, I don't see join notifications, Xbox app cutting out, can't chose a weapon, forum down, no bug reporting available, no pre order gear...

As I said, niggles.

We've worked it out, its role playing at its finest. We have started using nautical terms, correcting each other if we slip back into left/ right etc etc.

After tonight's effort, 3 hours fighting, being shit merchants etc etc, firing up PUBG felt like taking a break. Almost relaxing.

Oh...new Nvidia update just for SOT if anyone needs it.
 
Is it true you can get sea of thieves on the Xbox game pass? If so I might give it a whirl if folks think it's good.

I’m currently playing it via game pass. Not a bad deal at the minute. Tomb Raider also excellent. I’m not sure how long they’ll be up for though. Eventually I’ll probably purchase the game itself.
 
So played three hours of sea of thieves last night and I just don't get it? There's nothing in terms of finding loot or actually making your character look better.

The graphics are excellent but the game doesn't feel complete and for a supposed MMO there is nothing in the way of progression. Shame but I'd have liked Guild ships, create your own galleon, have your own island etc. That's before you mention actually getting better weapons and armour.

Finding loot?

Did you go to see one of the three traders on the island? Or pick up a message in a bottle on a distant island? Or find a treasure map?

And your clothes...more gold = more options. From another trader. On your island. Did you go and see him?

The game is 30% complete. Maybe less. More stuff is coming.

Looks a right load of Shite to me of what I’ve watched on twitch is there an actual story line of a method in what you doing? Or is it a game for multiplayer one thing for certain want be going anywhere near the game.

I did all of that but found it to be hugely lacking in content. What's the point of being a pirate if you can't actually take the treasure from a chest. I hope more stuff is coming because now it feels so bare.

I have the Xbox game pass so it's free with that. I'm gonna have another go in tonight but so far it seems like it's hugely lacking in content which for me means the game won't have long in terms of longevity.

No one will be playing it in 2 weeks just checked twitch because this usually a good guide and from having around 150k playing it it’s gone down to 1500.

Get chest, sail to friendly island, sell chest for gold. What more do you want with a chest?

Agree about the content though. More is coming, that's for sure, but it does feel a little empty at the moment. It's almost as though someone showed off a decent sea routine and Rare said "Bingo! Let's do a pirate game."

Might be because the servers are down for maintenance...

Tried it again last night mate and I'm thinking I'm done with it already. The combat is terrible and the constant fetch quests are awful. It's in dire need of upgrades/content otherwise it'll lose its player base after a week.
