I have purchased plenty of games in the past that I don't enjoy.
If you don't like it nobody is forcing you to play it. I dont understand what you hope to gain from ranting on the forum.
In your eyes you wasted money on the game but in mine and many others we have more than had our monies worth.
I think you should trade it in and try something else.

I suspect he is reaching out for others who might feel the same to speak out...a group after all is louder than a single voice. He is every right to want to be heard if done in a non attacking way. Same as anyone else has a right to express the opposite view. Myself I think the game was released 1 yr to early, I think it has massive potential but it does not yet know what it wants to be, and instead is trying to be a little of everything...and not feeling complete because of it. Time will tell if this changes.

I have to disagree. If they waited a year, they would have followed their original plans, but releasing it when they did allowed for the game to be developed around actual player feedback.

I think the way they've done it was the right call, because it was the only way they could build the game that their players want as opposed to building a game they think we want.

A lot could have changed in that year, and they still might have made decisions to bring out content like cursed sails after release, but the core might have been more complete.

How do you think achievements like Bring me that horizon aka set sail for the first time are sat below 65%??!
You'd have to be REALLY unhappy with those first 5 minutes of the game to give up so soon and never raise anchor for the first time!

The first ten minutes of a game make or break it. So it is absolutely possible that 1.3 million players (game pass users most likely) tested the game, didn't like the graphics or the characters or the camera and deleted it straight away.

If someone hasn't played the game long enough to "Set Sail for the First Time," I wouldn't include that person in the subset of "Sea of Thieves players."

I never said anything to that effect. The game still has severe optimization issues and bugs. There is still a marked lack of things to do. Fetch don’t cut it.

The leadership at Rare is directly responsible for these persistent issues, so to a point I am in agreement that they may be in the wrong business and should perhaps pursue other opportunities in the marketing field where their strengths lie and make way for some actual game development talent to get the ball rolling.

For a game to have it’s lore locked behind 3rd party products is just utterly ridiculous, for example. It should be in the game. The obvious focus of this team is to hawk merchandise. It’s unfortunate.

@mrgrim67686 I think he just replied to the wrong guy. I think that was meant for OP.

@trixster13

I think you may have read him wrong...

@sshteeve but.... free trial.... never playing again....people arnt playing the game lol

My only complaint is the lack of life in the game, how the characters have no voice, no npc walking through the outposts and lack of marine diversity. However, the game is great and the constant updates make it better every time. It's becoming a better game than three months ago, so I do not need a complaint.

First time I've been back since the post. The Mod Edits are the poor configuration of the forum filters so I reject 100% that I used any profanities or bypasses to try and insert them.

As to the statement about targetting a person, I am afraid to say that Rare give no option to address the main manager who is in fact paid for what he does. Like it or not getting negative feedback as a manager goes with responsibility of that post and is not, in that context, targetting to malign, it is simply feedback. The fact that we don't get a valid reply to feedback from the team lead/manager which isn't dodging the issues is worse than anything.

I think there is legitimacy to this conplant.

Its not isolated.

It shows there is a flaw in the combat.

Its either not enjoyable, or too unavoidable.
