It's the nearest to the gamers mentality in my opinion.
But they always fuck it up

> Risen has no ships or ship combat at all, you just run around on an island
> Skull & Bones has no flynning, boardings are insta-wing cutscenes

I would also like to at least once be in service of the Royal Navy in a game that isn't a qusi-2D Strategy game, nearest I found for that was Ass Creed. Rogue.

Sea of Thieves looks great. Not enough games where you can fire yourself out of a cannon.

it was their last "well" received ac game, honestly black flag has the same problems as all the latest ac games people just get distracted by the boats.

>>381369596
I mean a new game, and not really.

I'm not talking a real freelancer game, what I'm looking for is something similar to Warband only you begin as a captain of a ship between one of several factions and the campaign involves being a better naval power than the rest of the world.

Missions based around shit state captains would do, and whatnot.

Will Sea of Thieves have some sort of singleplayer content? I'm not a person with many friends.

>Realistic pirating was always about pillaging when an advantage over non-threatening merchants was obvious, and fleeing whenever any trouble or authorities were around.
a realistic pirate game would be bland and boring as fuck believe me.


>>381374639
more like a spooky ghost ship and undersea horrors with fear of drowning mate.

>>381374387
Course there is. Just gotta get close enough to jump onto the other ship.

Sea of Thieves looks like a fun party game but there doesn't seem to be any more depth to it than that. So far, new items are only cosmetic, there's little progression and what little there is is only limited to gaining reputation, not in abilities or equipment. There's also no cargo so you can't go around being a merchant ship or anything like that either. I was hoping for a Sid Meier's Pirates! game but it won't fill that void. Just wanted to let other anons know not to expect that either.

>>381374760

>so it makes sense to try to Flesh it out more.
Agreed, which is why I'm dumbfounded that Ubi, the creators of Black Flag, aren't doing anything to flesh out the gameplay for Skull & Bones. What they showed at E3 was literally Black Flag but in multiplayer where everyone controlled their own ships. What a travesty.

>>381375635
That game is so shit. Sea of thieves is at least much more interesting than for honor meets rainbow six siege with pirates.

alpha tester here, I've been following this game for a while and I think the devs have actually expressed interest in being able to be a merchant and ship goods, that and I think they said something about a bounty hunting system.

That's good to know and I hope they manage to expand more on the game's concept then. Just, as it stands, the game looks like it'll be a fun romp for a few hours but it's not something that will last you a long time. Just a fun party game to play from time to time. I hope they add more depth to it so it becomes a proper game you can invest your time in.

True and there's another, much longer video of the game from E3 with a dev playing the game that's much better to watch since they're just playing/learning the game.

I agree, as it stands we mostly just grind maps until we find another ship and go GTA Online on them. Considering they're specifically trying to 'avoid being Day Z' I imagine they'll try to make this a bit more social.
One last thing I wanted to mention because I personally think it's pretty cool. When you sail by an island with cannons on it skeletons often spawn and use them. As a result a handful of the islands are very reminiscent of pic related from Wind Waker

Sounds neat. Hopefully they'll have the time to implement all of these features and show them off at Gamescom or something. As it stands, the game's just too shallow for me and my friends to consider picking up.

>>381384995
Well they finally actually let us buy something today during a session, tankards for grog were now purchaseable at outposts, typically we just started with them. I imagine cannonballs and the instruments or something will be next. Personally I can't blame them for slowly implementing the big things, they typically make QoL and global adjustments every week before the next session.

I actually liked the new pirate of the Caribbean movie, nice way to close the franchise.

That's literally what reddit does.

I'm honestly glad the Pirate genre is growing. Typically companies would stay away from them vidya wise because of how long the COD phase went on and people just wanted fast paced FPS's in modern settings. When Black Flag was a critical and financial success, it seems folks are now dipping their toes into the briny deep.

I fucking loved and hated this game. It was so god damned fun, when it worked. Just fucking sailing was so damn relaxing, though it was unfortunate that was the only bit that really worked. Fucking bethesda and publishing bug ridden shit.
If you guys want more like this, it was literally a sea dogs sequel with the licensed shit slapped on it after much of development was done. There's a fairly recent sea dogs on steam but I've not played it myself, just the old ones on gog.

>>381387032
THAT WAS A BETHESDA GAME?!

>>381374762
I've played in Alpha testing and there are times after the sessions are supposed to end where I'm alone on my ship. It's definitely possible to sail a ship and go to islands/find loot alone. You probably won't win ship battles in these scenarios, so its best to just be passive and avoid them. I am pretty sure the devs have mentioned smaller ships being added at some point for smaller crews.

>>381387331
You could tell because it was literally broken as fuck with bugs. They only published it though.

I am in the alpha. When you sink their ships you have the pleasure of letting them drown while talking shit to them in proximity chat, and then swinging around and picking up their treasure chests if they have any.

Also, the devs confirmed that your playstyle determines your ship and player customization unlocks, so if you are killing other players you will start to look like an evil fuck.

The game is fun as hell, people need to accept that this is the only really great game coming out in the near future. Trade in your PS4s and upgrade your PCs if needed.

>>381375740
Yeah, the lead dev confirmed that you won't leave your ship under any circumstance, and that the boarding is cutscenes. The game will be an alright open world naval PvP game, but it will be worse than Black Flag as a whole. Ubisoft is really missing the mark if they don't allow us off the ship. People wanted Black Flag without the dumbshit assassin stuff, not ship battle arenas.

How is performance?

>>381388826
Is it even open world though? Doesn't seem like it at all. What would the open world even add to a purely PvP game without anything else to it? It's funny, usually it'll take a few months before the gameplay reveal of a game unhypes me. Skull & Bones managed to do it in the span of 5 minutes.

>>381389205

It's open world, dude.

You can choose the way you play.
You don't even need to PVP

>>381389351

oops disregard that post i suck cocks i thought you were talking bout sea of thieves

Wait is that Skull and Bones game by Ubisoft just a multiplayer game? It looked good and I saw some sort of Kraken in the trailer so was really hoping for single player. Guess ill stick to blackwake and shitty naval action for now for now.

>>381359727

>>381388964
Yeah man. First time watching their ship sink and seeing them bailing, and swimming toward our ship, begging to come aboard. One of my shipmates yells down to them that we don't have enough food for them and we all laugh and adjust the sails to sail away.

>>381389040
I am on XB1, the game has the same type of art style as something like WoW, where its cartoony, but absolutely gorgeous and atmospheric, while running great. They added storms last update, and I was blown away with the feeling it gave me. One of my crewmates I was matched with was from coastal Florida and wouldn't shut up on how great the ocean looked compared to real life. A PC will eat this game alive. I am really excited for it and I hope it does well. It deserves it.

>>381389426
SoT is open world. You have tons of islands and outposts, all in different biomes, and you have a number of activities outside of PvP you can do.

And lets wait until the game actually comes out before swallowing down marketing at the biggest marketing event in AAA gaming.

>>381388348
If you see another ship of players collecting loot form an island, can you rob them at gunpoint and run away laughing, sinking their ship, and marooning them?

>>381392078
They will probably fight back, but I have had proximity chat cause some fun, unexpected moments with enemy players. It would be possible to hold someone hostage with threats. Also there is a currently unusable brig on each ship, so I am positive an update will make them usable down the road to stow prisoners. Same with an execution plank.

Treasure chests can be swiped at any time. there are even cursed chests that will fuck up ships, and you can stealthily put them on other ships to fuck with the crew.

I have sunk many defenseless ships that were moored at an island. It's good fun. So yes, you could strand them.

The main thing that I am not sure people are getting from the trailers is this isn't just ship PvP. The game is all about using teamwork to cause and control chaos. So much shit happens on the fly as your crew improvs to the situation. It is great fun doing something clutch, or failing miserably in the game.

>>381392078
Rob at gunpoint? No. Fight and if you win the battle, sink their ship as you sail away, yes. I'm also in the alpha and am quite skeptical because it's no real meat on the bone. Hoping it really is just a technical alpha and not representative of the loop of the game. They do continue to add new gameplay elements. Hopefully it leads to large islands to explore and sea monsters being the other open sea hazard not just pvp.

>>381391959
I understand that, I'm just saying that you can already see all of it in action in lengthy, uncut gameplay videos of the game. You don't have to swallow it and preorder the game or anything, but it's not something that hasn't and can't be confirmed already.

>>381389718
I'm also in the alpha, want to crew up next week? My usual crew consists of only 2 people and we always end up with a useless random. GT is VANTAVIA

Because this is a thread about a Microsoft game. Why would I talk about other games?

Also, Rare has legitimately not made anything decent in more than a decade.

Well people have played the alpha and liked it, and it's not like just because a company has made bad games in the past that they will perpetually do so. Rare also made multiple GOTY contenders in the past. Plus were not even considering how the makeup of their development teams are constantly in flux.

This is a legit fun game that does not have much as far as comparable experiences from other games. It is exciting to have something new like this on the horizon because so much being released is just rehashes, derivative, or a sequel. It is reasonable to have a degree of hype for this game.

>>381375025

Will SoT have good stuff to spend money on aside from supplies and stuff? Like better weapons and guns, and stylish pirate outfits to look cool as hell while sailing the ocean?

Is it possible to have an Island fortress you and your crew can store treasure in and fight invaders trying to steal said treasure?

>>381395174
There aren't alot of cool looking Pirate games made outside of Black Flag really, plus compared to Skull and Bones, SoT offers more in terms of player freedom instead of Ubi trying to sell the ship combat from Ass Creed 3.

THAT SAID, it's up to Rare and the people that are in the insider program to make sure the game comes out good and stays good afterwards.

Nobody knows yet. I'm another one in the technical alpha and hope they add some depth. Mechanically it's great for the aesthetic. But its find treasure or fight other crews. Turning chests in for gold is still useless but a challenge in itself if you have someone camping at an outpost like I did with a crew recently. It needs variety in missions and PvE overall.

Study the history of pirates and why many joined them. Learn how the military and rich tricked people in the bars to forced service (that was pure hell) with nothing more than a coin in their mug. Piracy was your ONLY way out.

Pirates are making a come back because in a world wide oligarchy, they are relevant again.

Hope so and I hope they show it soon. As of right now, it just looks like a fun party game. I want more depth.

>>381395649
This actually can easily happen, a lot of crews tend to ignore the captain's cabin and the fact that it has a door to the outer railing on the back of the ship. If anon was quiet enough he could've easily tossed several chests overboard off the back of the ship without alerting the crew on the main deck because they'd likely be on thd cannons or sails

>>381393657
isn't that literally fortnite

>>381395181
The developers confirmed that you will unlock cosmetics for your character and ship that will be unlocked by your playstyle.

In the alpha all of the gear you have is comically shabby. Your compass has cracked glass and shit. Its quite obvious you will be upgrading all of your stuff as you progress.

The game isn't that deep, death has no next to no consequence outside of a small respawn timer, so there is no incentive to surrender over fighting to the death. And in alpha, faggots were exploiting movement bugs making it really hard to hit them. Cool game, but unless people are in the mood for roleplaying, the average kid is going to gank you as soon as he sees you

So far I've been matched with bongs at least twice so no so far, although I imagine Rare might implement some sort of matchmaking filters.
