Good on MS and Xbox. If you actually played the game with friends, it's kinda fun. Worth the $10 I spent. Usual suspects downplaying lmao.

Congrats Rare. But... I thought Rare would be done after this? MS would kill them off lmao.

How do u have the time to constantly downplay any and all success that Xbox has. And in what world is 69 not average. It’s biggest fault is going to be fixed over time(lack of content) making it a much better game.

69 falls into the 6 range just like how a 61, 65 or a 68 does. A 69 does not count in the 7 range nor more than 69 counts as a C or a passing grade in school. Even on metacritic, a 69 gives it a yellow and not a green. That's not a positive score. You're rounding it up to a 70  or 7 to make it seem better than it is. It's a 69 which is a bad grade.

What the fuck are you going about? People need to stop getting triggered by someone not playing along with giving platitudes to ms spin. I rarely post in xbox threads and when I do, it's not that negative. A 70 or 7 is considered average in video games but a high 6 or 60 is not. Not even metacritic considers that a positive score. I have my opinion if you don't like it so fucking what. I would have moved on from this thread but people can't stand a dissenting opinion.

Lol man ur Arguing the difference of 1 metacritic point. Literally a 1 percent difference to makes a game go from “positive” to “bad game”.... keep up the good fight bro can’t wait to see ur next argument in another ms thread.

Do you like any of the below games?

Knack - 54

The Order - 63 

Knack 2 - 69

Drive Club - 71

No Man Sky - 71

Killzone Shadow Fall - 73

Gran Turismo Sport - 75

Lets bash Rares game because of its reviews.

Sea of Thieves - 69

There's honestly not much difference in the scores yet I am sure everyone will defend those other games like crazy.

I'm happy this game is finding some success because I had predicted long that if this game bombed, that would be the end of Rare. There simply wouldn't be a reason to keep them around as a developer anymore. Also, unless something comes out later that reveals some kind of incompetence at Rare, I wouldn't blame them for releasing Sea of Thieves in the current state it is in. I think the decision to release the game as early as they did came directly from Microsoft. Hopefully Sea of Thieves will continue to get support and maybe, just maybe Rare can be a great studio again.

The disagreements I had with a few here never revolved around liking the game in spite of shortcomings or in spite of metascores so I don't know why you replied to me with that post but I'll answer anyway.

The only one I played out of those is NMS and it deserved a lower score to be honest just on the game itself (regardless of promises or marketing) but they did improve it a great deal over time. I really like the game too but it deserved the criticism. I don't like the genres of those other games or I didn't like the title. 

I'm not bashing Rare games nor am I picking on little MS. Some need to crawl back in that walled garden.

So what is the estimate ? How many copies were sold ?

The game doesn't get 10 dollars....there's literally over a 100 games they have to pay to have on there not just SOT
