This has always looked like an indie game to me. I can see why people would find it fun but the only reason that Microsoft have devoted so much marketing to it is because they have virtually nothing else as a benefit to promote GamePass. To be honest it looks like the sort of thing that Peter Molyneux would dream up ... and there’s a danger that this is exactly what it's going to become ...

Let's be perfectly honest with all of this--had this not been a game developed by one of the Big 3, including all the E3 spotlight time that comes with such a distinction, then this thread would have about 10 posts right now, if it even existed at all.  While the naval battles looked nifty and the artstyle is nice, there was little else to set it apart from one of the dozens of F2P MMOs littering the internet.  The first video where they were on the island fighting skeletons effectively ended my interest in this game.

That's not to say that some people won't love it or that it can't find a niche.  It's just that I feel the game has earned more attention, both good and bad, than it has probably earned.
