It’s a fantastic game covered up by bad choices.

I don’t need to get out of my ship, but maybe you could let me direct my crew on how they attack. Let me arm my crew differently. Let me change my crew as an item. Let me hire individual crew members as “items”.

To me it seems like a “we gotta get SOMETHING out the door” scenario and they made a “cohesive” game out of what was finished and hope that it lives long enough to add the other stuff.

I found myself wanting to log on last night which shocked me, the setting and ship combat definitely works for me. I wish there was more but sea of thieves didn’t do it for me.

It’s like they took Black Flag and said “everyone wants a Sid Meier pirates remake … let’s try that” but they didn’t give us dancing or ship boarding.

There is so much potential and it’s wild that they seem to have created the “core” but it’s taken them this long to get there.
