RareWare is ****ing dead

why

- - -

It looks super boring unfortunately. Plus, I don’t have many friends interested in that kind of game

what's sea of theifs?

Needs more content added to it. It probably got rushed out to help attract people to Game Pass.

See what I did there? I put as much content into my post as RareWare did their game

I'd like to get Sea of Thieves should it go F2P, but I don't know how long I'd last without grouping tools and so fourth. I'm not very good with voice comms to begin with, so this probably isn't the ideal game for me. The price is really the only thing I could comment on, and I think having to spend at least ~£100 to have a good time with one friend is ludicrous. If you're a group of four friends, £200. I could get 44.4 (recurring) donner kebabs for that money.

Also, obligatory "No Man's Sea" because I'm clever like that.

I don't think a lack of effort is the issue. An expansive, detailed world takes a lot of effort, regardless of how much there is to do in that world. It's not like they procedurally generated everything.

The problem is that MS is just terrible at handling Rare. Rare has always had a tendency to take forever to develop games (because they are always changing their minds and throwing out content midway through development...I mean just look at how many scrapped builds and incomplete games games they've made that were really far along in development), but Nintendo would set deadlines and give Rare structure. MS gives Rare no structure and seems to have no real idea what to do with them.

I didn't say effort, but rather, content. however, I respect your comment because it is insightful regardless.

My mistake. My brain did a little switcharoo and I misread your post.

In my defense, I've been fighting off a pretty nasty cold these past few days so my head may as well be a jar of mayonnaise right now.

So after finally sitting down with the game for a few hours, I do have to say one thing: the game is fun. Considering that I didn't have to pay for the time I've spent playing it so far, it's definitely one of the best free experiences I've had in my life.

The game is polished as hell and it has the bones of a top tier gameplay experience. It just needs way more meat on those bones.
