Sea of thieves PS5 ! Just Why ??

  • Please add gyro aim on ps5 !

    I'm amazed that this isn't available in the PS5 version. I bought it for PS5 and now I have to play on a weak Macbook to use the PS5 gamepad properly, lol. Why should PS5 players suffer because the Xbox controller is holding back the industry? Many relatively competitive cross-play games have already done this, regardless of the fact that it is not available on Xbox - it doesn't bother anyone. Please, do this. You will attract a lot of new players. After all, a large part of the community prefers games with gyro aim, and for me, as for many others, this is a decisive factor.

  • We wanted to play with friends on PS5 at the start of the discounts, but gyro aim in cross-platform shooters turned out to be a decisive factor. It's easier for developers to ignore such a crucial detail and add new beautiful ships and sails, lol. Thanks for the community support and cries of “fairness to Xbox players.” Nobody cares if you're playing against someone with 50k hours on a keyboard and mouse, but it's the end of the world if it's someone with gyro aim on PS5. Respect to the developers for such disrespect towards an entire platform. Please add new donation features, because these are important innovations after all.

    Why should Xbox players suffer because other consoles?
    Why do Pc players suffer due to console players?

    Why must SoT updates suffer because of Xbox One?

    Game suffers.

  • @burnbacon Lol, your game doesn't even have the option to play only with PC players or only with gamepad players. So saying that “Xbox suffers from other consoles” is just smoke and mirrors. I don't understand why you insist on sticking with the old stuff and alienating audience of players for whom this is a decisive factor. Adding such a configuration to the game is easier than easy, and you can't even justify your refusal. I've read all the forum threads about gyro aim, and you simply don't have any arguments; you'd rather just turn a blind eye to it, as you do to many other problems with the game.
    This is incredibly frustrating for me and many others, because we love this game, donate to it, and buy it on different platforms to support the developers. But why don't the developers want to add such a simple piece of variability to please the entire community of PS5 players?

  • @x88burn00 maybe it's because they separate out controllers from keyboard and mouse players, but they don't have a way to ensure that those with gyro aim play on the keyboard and mouse servers (instead of controller servers). I don't know. I'm just speculating.

    I'm on Xbox but I usually play on the KBM Servers anyway (because most of my friends are on PC) so allowing gyro aim would make very little difference to me personally, but I can understand if other controller players prefer a level playing field they wouldn't want to go up against people with gyro aim as they'd have an unfair advantage.

  • @eligibleeel6171 As far as I know, there are no separate servers for consoles or PCs here. all servers are cross-platform. Or am I mistaken?

  • @eligibleeel6171 Oh, now I've found this setting, lol. But I still don't understand why they don't just add gyro aim to cross-platform servers, similar to servers with different degrees of aim assist in GTA Online. Just block the setting when cross-platform is disabled.

  • @x88burn00 maybe they can't? I don't know enough about the matchmaking process to say for definite but I'm sure with countless people logging in, logging out and constantly diving to new servers it must be fairly complicated just to separate out controller from kbm (especially since you can use kbm on xbox, and controller for PC). As I said above this is all speculation. It could be that enabling gyro aim just isn't on their to do list.

  • @eligibleeel6171 I think it already exists. After all, if you disable cross-platform and select gamepad priority, you definitely won't be able to use a keyboard and mouse on a console with those priorities.

  • I personally don't think more people would play because they add gyro aim, but I do agree with it being added. More options is always better and its not necessary to interact with

  • @potatosord There are quite a few people who only play games with gyro aim. Of course, there aren't tens of thousands of them, but there are thousands. And I really think that if they add this, many people with PS5 will start playing it, because the game is simply gorgeous, and if it's convenient for everyone to play, then there definitely won't be fewer people.

  • @x88burn00 Adding gyro aim would incentivise single digit numbers of players to join. No one joins a game because their niche control style is usable in it. I still agree it should be added as I prefer having more choice, but even if someone gave the game a chance because they added gyro aim, they likely would stop playing after 2 weeks like most people do. The game is broken at a base level. Jump reg, food reg, ladder reg, lag backsplashing, cannon reload desync, doing anything on ping. There are so many bugs that make even long time players quit because of how bad they are.

  • @potatosord I've been playing it for over a year now, and to be honest, I've never once wanted to quit because of bugs. Yes, there are bugs, and there are plenty of them, as well as a fair number of cheaters, but the game is just as fun as it is sweaty, lol. I played it on a PC with a DualSense gamepad and used gyro aim without any problems. The only thing that annoyed me was that I couldn't use the built-in gamepad function on the platform it was released for, even though I can use it on PC. I understand that everyone perceives this differently, but for me, the bugs that currently exist are not as critical as the use of this feature.
