Doesn't seem like SoT has a MASS appeal to it. GOW is an established first party IP that sells millions. Going with the safe bet and say GOW easily. SoT may have the longer legs though.

Theres no real progression though. You cant better your character, level him up, build a better ship ect.
Its all cosmetic, I dont see it keeping player base intrested long, or selling for along time tbh.

The game is going to kill on PC. Sea of Theives (look at No Man's Sky except this will have legs).

What makes you and Rafie think it ll have long legs?

Nintendo Labo.

as depressing as that sounds, it could happend.
Feel like a "real" game with tons of effort put into it, should beat some mini games + cardboard made for small kids.... but yeah, you could be right.

It is getting the same type of reviews as No Man's Sky. I'm going to have a guess that the sales are on par as well.

That way I could say comparing a hack and slash 20 hour game with deep combat mechanics to 2 hour long movies with no interactivity is much more borked. I'd like to see where these set pieces are, we haven't seen even 1 set piece in God of War.

You call it "deep" combat, yet it's a set of moves akin to what you get from a fighting game. The set pieces are the levels you fight in. 

 

Either way, you comparing a game to CoD wasn't the best use. 

Fighting games have the deepest combat system of any game so you're just proving my point. The set pieces are the levels? That's quite the assumption and you don't have anything to back it up.

Ahh, so now you're basically citing GoW as the deepest game of all time, as well as a fighting one?.

 

You don't have anything to back up your comparison of making SoT out to being exactly like CoD, plain and simple.

Obviously God of War.... Also, same answer to the more relevant question: Which game is better.

You said that God of War's set of moves were akin to a fighting game, and by saying that you were unintentionally putting it in the league of the deepest combat systems in the market.

I didn't SOT is exactly like COD but they have a lot in common especially the way they spread out play time by making you do the same thing over and over. I could also compare it to PUBG, Fortnite and the likes that are all multiplayer games where the goals are similar and the massive playtime is because of playing with friends, and the main fun is playing with friends but then anything is fun with friends. Even a mediocre game can be fun when playing with the right people.

They do not have a lot in common. Both games are drastically different. One is an open world pirate themed game, the other is a closed combat modern FPS shooting game, which revolves around only shooting other players, SoT doesn't revolve around just shooting other players before you start on that angle.

I put my hope on Sea of thieves, because i love cheering up for the bullies and of course for the LOLZ.

So, with the reception being mixed for SoT to have a chance it has to take off in streaming.

It does consist of doing the same quests over and over like COD consists of shooting people over and over.

Really?. 4 days later and you're still going to keep it going?.

Except CoD has only one scope of gameplay in mind, and SoT does not. End of story. Your comparison is flawed.
