Fighting ships looked fun (if you have friends who want to play with you), everything on the island looked bland and annoying. Talk about a mixed bag.

Yep thats the key. I can't see anything less than a full team as possible.

Indeed, could be fun with friends, yet the days that I could get 3 of my friends online at the same time are long gone. LBP was the last time that happened. It doesn't look fun to play with strangers. Maybe if it had splitscreen I could play it with my kids.

Looks good but man do I detest and reject this notion that the company "Rare" is somehow associated with the same company that use to work with Nintendo. Those guys all left. Rare is alive only in name. As far as I'm concerned, this game is developed by an entirely different development house.

First you have to know who is who in Rare to say something like that. Sea of Thieves is what Banjo should've been.



The shame about this for me its that its a multiplayer game took to the extreme.I already am not a fan of multiplayers game, but since this game basically needs that you play with friends, Ill never be able to play it since I just have one or two friends that would be "hardcore" enough to want to give this game a chance and well, thats not enough.

I havent seen nobody talking about this, but that what I just described will be the game Achilles heel.It will limit the game extremely, and just a select group of people, that like playing multiplayer and have enough friends to play with will buy this.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

I just downloaded it, but have to wait until Saturday to give it a go. 



Looks amazing, let's hope it does well!

The concept is really cool but that combat really needs some work.



That's Awesome great to have guys like Phil, Yoshida and Miyamoto in this high positions (great guys that have so much fun with video games). Hope this game will deliver.

I loved everything I saw execpt the combat. Its alpha so hopefully it gets improved. 



Looks in every way worse than Scalebound but they still decided to cancel Scalebound instead



Would it be fair to call this game a shared world...looter?

I think it's a really cool idea, but its effectiveness will probably depend on the strength and chemistry of each team. I worry it will share many of the same flaws as Destiny if played alone.
