Even Risen 2 is better.

Sea of Thieves looks like it could be fun, but it also seems really simple. Like, what's there to it? Is there anything at stake? Can you steal treasure from other players? Can you kill your own crew? What do you do with the treasure? Can you buy a bigger ship?
What's the goal of the game?

So far you dig up treasure or find chests on islands, cash them in, and last patch they added a shopkeeper that sold you the blunderbuss, drinking mug and hurdy gurdy you started with in previous sessions.
Keep in mind it's still in the alpha stages so they're primarily focusing on QoL and shit like server stress-testing.
>>389971343
I took it on my phone nigger, and it's still in Alpha

How the fuck is it still in alpha? Wasn't it announced like 3 years ago? Why did they even show it at E3 if it's that early?

Probably buy and upgrade stuff for moar better bigger boats and guns. I'm hoping for something like basic quests to solve mysteries and find unusual treasures but that requires writing and stuff and so far it seems to follow the barebones open-world crafting/survival blueprint so I'm not holding my breath.

Do you know what a screenshot is jesus christ


If you want a good naval FPS, get Blackwake, 50 players in 3 vs 3 ship combat.

The captain controls the ship, the crew has to aim, reload and supply cannons, repair holes and sails, board the enemy ship etc.

It's a bit shallow but the teamplay aspect makes it fun and interesting.
>>
>>389972640
nu-/v/ is so casual it makes reddit look competent, it's a shame though that there's no update to this, i do want a seamless world, that's the only thing the assassin's creed game did right, letting me leave my boat when i wanted too and not only in encounters
>>
>>389970981
Last I heard there was zero reason to board other player ships, so until that changes I can't see it taking off.

I imagine the item crate here will be for managing what you have on your 'item wheel'
Also note the Chest of 1000 Grogs
>>389972753
Rare did mention something about bounty hunting and an honor system, that could add some depth to player interactions at least. They seem to want this to be a very social experience, you can even talk to enemy crews because chat is proximity-based
>>389972940
Do you know what an NDA is? I'm on Xbox dingus.

Sea Dogs:to each his own
lets you roam about the islands. The amount of roaming you are able to do is restricted by the paths but still it's as close to open-world as you can get in the series.
The game is also much harder iirc.
>>
>>389972672
Well no shit, they remastered it a few times. I was clearly referring to anther more recent remaster.
>>
>>389973310
Why set the bar so low? There's already too many bad remasters of good games.

Awesome game, although just like its predecessors - extremely buggy. I remember theres some sort of gentleman patch that fixes majority of dead end questlines that were broken due to poor Russian translations.
>>
>>389970404
Any other games have similar party/crew management mechanics to that? Only one I can think of is Mountain Blade.
>>
>>389970114

I remember playing some pirate game on the PC when I was a kid in the 90s. It had sword fighting. Can't remember what it was called though, but I'm sure many /v/irgins would like it.
>>
>>389973414
Fine, then a proper sequel. I wanted a remaster like the 1993 or 2004 version-- no changes except improvements. I guess that's hard to expect in 2017.

This is definitely not for you then, Rare specifically wants to empathize 'strength in numbers', the bigger crew of friends you get to play with you, the better you will do.

There are at least 2 great pirate games.
3 if you're young and enjoyed Black Flag.
>>
>>389973609
What do you get for raiding ships? Can you swoop in and steal their loot?
>>
>>389973486
Age of Pirates
But it's buggy and kinda shitty. But you can easily sink like 50 hours there if it hit the spot.

Sea of Theives is the next "early access" cash out incomplete bare bones game.

>added a merchant for a blunderbuss and like 2 other items

This game is the fucking blunderbuss, the devs have no work ethic and inevitably WILL cash out a half complete game.

>>389973609
so unless your friend all have the same time off on the same day to play together you're probably gonna get fucked by all the underage shits playing the game together, sounds like it's not fun at all, i hope its not free to play

Yes! Treasure chests are just neutral items in the world once dug up. It's also a viable option to loot their cannon ammo reserves and other valuable resources 0

>>389973624
Did you only play the remake?

Also,

Best pirate games are:

Monkey island
Monkey Island 2
Sid Meier's pirates! (gold and remake)
Black flag (if you ignore the main missions)
Age of pirates
That old pirates of the caribbean game

I saw they're making an MP version of Assassins creed black flag.
I always thought it should have been a multiplayer game.
Problem is, it'll just be an arcadey shitpiss.
Fucking ubisoft.
