Just bought this game just over a week ago and have already got frustrated enough that I likely won’t play again unless something changes...in fact still new enough I may ask Microsoft for a refund.
I enjoyed the game when I first started as I was still figuring out the aspects. Once I started to get things down my friend and I set out on the little escapades. Really gave one a little knowledge on the controls.
The problem started to encounter when we felt like going for some bigger loot in hopes to buy some of the in game cosmetic upgrades. We spent an hour or sometime 2-3 only to encounter someone else who stripped away everything we had done and left with nothing and complety feeling after all the hard work, that was a part of my life I’ll never get back.
I may again purchase this game if they come up with some ideas for people who don’t want to engage in the game in that way. Such like GTA where one can choose to go into passive mode, or an offline mode where one could gather with only your friends.
I realize this makes the game somewhat different from what they set out possibly where they want people to engage online. But let’s get with the times. If they think that absolutely everyone feels like doing that, how blindsided is the company. Many different gamers and styles people like to play.
My personal preference would be about the loot and adventures and tackling some of the AI pirate ships is what I would find enjoyable. To have that stripped away from others has totally wrecked this game for me. It has potential and I hope one day tho ha change.
Best regards
