What's most annoying about SoT as a longtime fan is simply how close Rare was to getting broader accolades closer to release.  You can jest about "Xbox tax" and whatnot, but the content complaints were totally valid back then.  If they'd held off releasing until the Cursed Sails update the discussion wouldn't have been as harsh.

I absolutely agree. I bought SoT at launch and after 30 minutes, I was like, pretty water......*turned game off* there really wasn't much to the game lol.

That's the thing: I totally understand that sentiment during its early life even if I don't technically agree with it.  Even when the fresh content was slim, there'd always been something about its design that seemed brilliant to me.  Expanding The Division's PvPvE Dark Zone to an ocean with a cutesy art style could be absolutely fun with friends, especially for the mischief you could cause.

But, again, just hold off until Cursed Sails and that design philosophy would've been more organically appreciated.
