Nope this is the whole game. You go to an island find a treasure, and then go the next one. There's no goal, and definitely nothing else to do in a game about pirates
I never implied it would be the entire game. But it needs lots of multi-tiered loot , a story, preferably some cinematic and a good combat.Is this a F2P like Fable Legends was gonna be or a $60 retail title. If it is F2P I then my expectations would drop significantly.
To be fair, if we compare this to something like No Man's Sky a lot of Sony fans were jumping up and down with anticipation for that and it had none of that...not shown nor implied, so why does this game need to leap frog a Sony title with so much more content to be worthy of hype or existence? And oh yeah lol NMS also retailed for $60 so I am afraid I disagree with your stance on this one good sir.
I am not saying you specifically hyped NMS, I am just pointing out a similar type game was not subjected to the type of scrutiny you have for people to be get excited about a MS title.
It's not so important that Rare have to run down a bullet point check list of things that must be in the game for it to be acceptable like a lot of other idiot mainstream copy-cat devs who release the same forgettable generic titles over and over again saying "if we have this, this, this and that then it should be a hit".
What matters is that the content they do have in the game is FUN *so many Devs miss this mark* and something people want to come back to and play again. Trying to trivialize what a game has/shows by suggesting it needs x list of things before it can be worthwhile won't guarantee it will successful or FUN. Ditch the check list, you won't know if it's good until you try. If Nintendo has taught us anything it's that SIMPLE can be fun and successful.
I always like to judge a game by what it has...and what Sea of Thieves has shown actually does looks fun to me. I couldn't ever say the same thing for NMS.
Quality post.
Quality, but misguided. Coming at me with some talk about No Man's Sky just because I'm a Sony fan was way off target. I was never impressed with that game. And no I don't judge a game by what it has offer. If there are things that if present would make substantially better then it should be taken into account when critiquing said game.
