This game is Sea Of Thieves
Wonderful game. It was my Lockdown game where me and my mates would just meet up and do whatever. The boat was our social hub and it was a great game to play in the background while just having a good time.
I bought a copy for a few of my friends just to get them in on it. I’m sad i never got into it until after lockdown when we all had more free time
Such a fun game… Maybe I’ll fire it up this weekend. Shame none of my friends will play it with me…
Still has some of the most beautiful water graphics I’ve ever seen in a game.
It’s a fun game when I don’t encounter anyone, but I spend most of my time just outrunning other players trying to kill me for almost no loot
They’ve added a feature called safer seas that removes PvP, Safer Seas.
That’s the game. It’s the most emotionally compelling stealth game I’ve ever played. The tension is real.
They managed to make a game about piracy where the players actually care about the stakes.
I think that’s the game for you. My friends and I like to hang out, search for treasure, solve puzzles, and work together to bring down ghost ships. We don’t have any interest in sinking a real players ship, or running from a group of teenagers shouting slurs at us while they try to sink ours.
I think last season they introduced “safer seas” where you can experience the game without others players interrupting your crews fun. Might be worth to check out
If you don’t want to play on the PvE-only servers, you can always go to the lower east corner of the map, with all the volcano islands. I almost never encounter people around there.
Or you could play late night-early morning, when less people are awake in your region.
I love rating a game’s water graphics. Sea of Thieves especially can be really gorgeous
I really do enjoy Sea of Thieves. The arcadey gameplay of it means you can just hit up the high seas whenever you’re feeling that particular pirate itch, go on some adventures (depth of which varies on your preference), maybe fish a little bit, cook some food and just have a general good time.
It looks really nice, too.
I agree, It’s really easy to have fun just wandering around with friends. I especially really enjoy bumping into Sea Forts and Skeleton Ships (though all my friends have an aversion to risk and adventure).
The graphics pair really nicely with the OST too. Really makes you feel like a pirate on the sea
Beautiful scene! 🌞
Was it you who posted rotated screenshots of Murderess from Xenoblade X back on Reddit?
Sadly Xenoblade is still in my Backlog of games too and play. It must have been someone else
I don’t remember it looking so good. Maybe lower settings on mine due to Xbox One. I really thought it was going to be Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey
I still need to play odyssey. I’m ashamed to admit when it first launched I was young and stuck in a mindset that “older AC games better. RPG AC games bad”.
But I played Origins and then Valhalla while waiting on Mirage (Which I also need to play). I personally enjoyed the older games more, but I still thoroughly enjoyed the RPG titles and want to give odyssey a shot soon. Probably once it goes on sale on Steam
Idk who down voted, so here’s one up vote.
I used to be part of such wagons. As I got older, I lost the time available to be so picky. I started with Unity and had a good time. I’ve had a good time with each subsequent entry through odyssey (haven’t played further yet). The same type of people complaining about RPG AC complain about Ubi’s other series, Far Cry. It’s ironic that people vehemently argue whether FC3 or 4 is better while both were departures from 2 which was a drastic departure from 1.
It’s a game. If you have fun, you’re good. If it’s compelling enough to keep you playing, they’re good. I really enjoyed Odyssey, moresoe than Origins. I do wonder if Origins was a sacrificial game that conditioned me to the RPG style, but I don’t have time to revisit it. I know I really enjoyed the sailing warfare mission as Aya so I was certainly happy to find that in Ody. (I’m actually currently 2/3 thru AC4). Still waiting on time for Valhalla and mirage…
PS: whichever version you played between 13 and 18 years old will always be the perfect one. Same goes for music. Or any interest, really.
Yeah. I’m in the same boat. When I got older I changed my perspective. If I don’t enjoy a game, that doesn’t mean it’s a bad game, that just makes it not for me. after I came to that conclusion I went back and tried a whole bunch of games I was unfair too before because I wrote them off. I found myself enjoying a lot more that I initially wrote off
Ps: I hope you enjoy AC4 btw, that and unity & Syndicate were some of my favorites when I first got into the franchise. Valhalla was a lot of fun too (once you get to it)
I started playing Odyssey but the story was so boring and the game felt awfully repetitive.
Ah. I’ve had a lot of fun in Sea of Thieves. It was hella fun on launch, albeit quite unfortunately lacking in content. I’ve heard it’s gotten much better since, basically a different game altogether now.
There’s a lot of content now but I feel it being a bit disconnected from each other as if it was many minigames inside of a pirate game engine (not that this is a bad thing but it never captured me)
