If u don't like it don't play it

For me the Closed Beta its self was worth 60$ Glad to see I'm not sailing alone with this type of mindset.

@gta5dude74 All my best experiences have nothing to do with the content but more to do with the mechanics of the game which are spot on. Rare cant create social experiences which is what this game is about. Only you can do it. Glad to not have as much salt as the seven seas in this thread.

Happy Hunting

have no fear "i is here",

• Game lacks content Check
• Games player base is toxic Check
• Game gets boring after few hours Check
• Game is way overpriced Check
• Game has stunning graphic's and physics Check
• Game needs more stuff (and should have bin here on release, after so long of development ) Check
• People fanboi over this game ofc Check

end adding salt ;)

forgot to write how good of a "tech"demo this is, i would not even closely call this a game yet.

if games were immune to criticism then they wouldnt get better, if you cant take people bashing a game dont go on the forums to be honest

@clintbeastwoodx My friend said yesterday that there might not be a lot to do but this is a VERY sturdy base game, everything about the game mechanics is extremely well thought out and with the free DLC plan, this game will eventually earn back the people who already are casting doubt.

@gta5dude74 Saying the game is lacking content and providing information to prove that is constructive. Giving ideas on how to fix it, is also constructive. See, the problem the forums are having is it is becoming a tug of war.

You have people saying things bad about the game, you know, content, lack of things to do, PvP complaints, not enough ship variety, nothing to do with the gold outside of make yourself look shnazzy, where's the pets, yada yada (I pretty much pulled all of this from posts I've read+what I've experienced myself. Then you have rare stuck in the middle and on the otherside, you have the defenders. People who think the game is pristine perfect and does not need changing in anyway.

In gaming, we call this gamers vs whiteknights. Gamers being people who want to better the game through changing the development design to better suit the majority and whiteknights who think everything is ok as it is and defend the game to the very fiber of their being. Everygame can do with improvements for sure, but when so many are stating the same thing over and over and over. You can't dismiss it, but you can deny it.

@gta5dude74 that i agree with

WORD!

There's no game here... It's a tech demo.

There's literally nothing to do. If it was $5 fine. But at $60 there better damn well be some things to do in the game besides just sail around aimlessly doing the same thing over and over and over.

I'm not sure why you guys are defending this it's not really a game, it's a tech demo.

@gta5dude74

This mindset of "if you don't like it, don't play" is a horrible one.

If people are unhappy and they don't play. That means they aren't supporting Rare. And guess what happens when the money stops rolling in?

@gta5dude74 said in If u don't like it don't play it:
I don't think you seem to be grasping that this is exactly what will happen without some necessary negative feedback and therefore action to improve the situation (and I'm not referring to the troll posts or the ones that want a completely different game entirely - but there are many things that need serious improvement mentioned in these forums).

By all means, love the game, but many of the points people are providing negative feedback on are quite valid in my opinion. Many of us are providing that feedback so that change can be enacted to prevent the "if you don't like it get out" crowd from unwittingly killing the game completely as the population implodes and the perhaps the servers get retired because so few actually play it!

Fanboy all you want, in a positive manner, but this sort cutting off the nose to spite the face because you don't like to hear what needs to be improved is generally just doing yourself and the game you like a serious disservice.

@haydensolo At this risk of necroing this thread, which I'am not sure if this would be a necro or not, I just have to say "Huh?" So the pvp is replayable...you know, the pvp that gives no gain because you don't know if the person has anything to steal until you sink their ship and ultimately, likely waste your own supplies. The cannon aiming has the arc trajectory of shooting a sling shot, aka it's wrong, but hey, it's replayable. The sword fighting is a 3 swing system combo with one of the worst sounds I've heard when it comes to sword collision with steel or flesh and the guns...well, the guns are actually fine.

Now, tell me, how exactly is something like that replayable? Because you can do it again and again with the limited people in one session. IF you happen to see someone that is, which seems to be one of the main annoyances. With the limited number of people allowed in one session, it creates not a sea of thieves, but a pond of thieves. Despite the game having this "Massive sales" it claims to have, which is likely comprised of around 65% free xbox passes, the players just aren't there sometimes.

So what does that leave you with when they aren't? You can't communicate. You can't socialize, you can infact only explore and I dunno about you, but a resused asset on a game that is 60 dollars and was in development for 4 years, tends to annoy me. That's called budget saving/development laziness and it should not be a thing. Want an example?

Shipreck bay, has a downed ship in it, yet you see the same ship, same position, same everything on another island. Upside down sunken vessels with different names, harbor the same cargo holds, brigs, designs, even shark jaw wall decorations. Infact, you paid 60 dollars for what I would deem a copy paste simulator and you're trying to convince people to make their own fun? I can sell you a copy of Spider Man Animator from packard bell years ago and that game was DESIGNED to make you have your own fun. The moment they added other things to do in the game, such as progression, was the moment there was a system and this whole "You people are sad, make your own fun." Are in such denial that this system even exists that it just makes me want to hug you because of how sad you are.

Anyways, you're a white knight and convincing someone like you is almost impossible because your ideals, are your own. Happy sails, for as long as it lasts.
