Everyone loves a good pirate game, as a certain recent release proved, so Red Thomas takes an exploratory dip into Sea of Thieves to explore why some of his earlier impressions of the game may no longer hold true.

What’s Coming to Sea of Thieves in 2019?

Atlas will hit the MMO Sandbox key SOT never will neither intends to do. SOT is polished on the AAA tier what makes it feel and play way more smooth than Atlas that shares problems of Ark, but then Atlas adds far more feature-set and freedom of play, with self-owned servers and now modding will allow for anything people want to do with it really.
There is no better just what people prefer to play, there's the purely match-based PvP Blackwake (with Ubisoft's one upcoming too), there's the online/co-op SOT, there's the MMO Atlas, different things for different people under the same theme.
There is NO way you played Atlas. Its a crap clone of Ark and even more buggier and unfinished if you can believe that after the state Ark is still in.

The sailing is hands down the best thing about the game. The FPS and server performance are buttery smooth - Atlas will never achieve that. They definitely went for a jump in and play design, which is fine, but it doesn't really allow you to acquire anything great. There's no crafting system, unique weapon types, or attachments. The progression system just isn't there for me.

There was also the pirate accords which the pirates did follow! It would mean war if they didn't and pirates needed each other to make the police have a harder time catching anyone! So the game was unrealistic in that sense! There is alot missing!
I am quite certain Microsoft rushed this out but can't begin to imagine the conversations between develoepr and Microsoft.
Likely to the effect,we have no more money,what do you want us to do...RELEASE it.
Bottom line is they ripped people off badly and at $80 that is outright stealing.
From, what i saw the game was a shell and nothing more,it would need about 2 years of good effort to turn it into a viable game.
If i was just going to hit a ship and sail around looking for pvp,i would play Blackwake over SOT any day.
So at this point there is NO WAY,this game has turned itself around because it needs 2 years of work.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
I do not play SoT atm but I played it a lot when it came out and I can say hand on heart that I had a blast! the ship battles was fun and raiding a fort with other people trying to steel it omg I had such fun and TBH I paid a lot more cash for games that I had no where near the amount of fun I had in SoT, I will return to SoT this year and I can see it being even more fun than it was. My question to you Wizardry is did you even play the game ?
You may want to consider upgrading this year. Even Steam is cutting support for Windows 7 next year... it is time for it to die.
Is similar to the No Man's Sky debacle should Hello games be forgived for finally delivering the game they promise years ago?.
Ubisoft do this a lot with their tittles too (Rainbow Six Siege, For Honor, The Division).
So... as much as i like and would like to root for Sea of Thieves, theres only one first impression and i don't wanna encourage developers and publishers doing things like these, that's just my opinion though.
We deserve a full product, not an 60$ early access games, i could understand the excuse with indies, but with AAA companies? hell no...
What if pirates stole a shipment of pirate games? Whoah! *mind explodes*

Also @Rhoklaw: Couldn't agree more on not supporting OS exclusive titles. If it's on PC, it should work on PC and not be limited to your shitty Win 10 software that no one wants, but is now being forced down our throats by Intel and MS.
From a developmental standpoint, you're demanding they invest effort in supporting something that they may not get a return on their investment for. Stuff that runs on one doesn't always run on the other, so it's not like they're writing in some code that blocks it from working on the earlier OS. It's just not supported. You might even still be able to get it to run if you really wanted to.
There's nothing wrong with voting with your dollar. I do it myself because I don't buy console games. I want PC and I think consoles hurt video games a lot, so I don't buy games that are released on console and often won't buy them if they started on console and ported.
I think the reverse compatibility thing might be a little bit unreasonable, though. MS can't support Win7 forever.
I'm super empathetic to the aversion to Win10's spyware. I'm a cyber dude and a former intel dude, so I'm right there with you. There are ways to disable/block all of it, though. Just takes a little research and effort.
Time out....am I reading this correctly? Are you implying the game is not doing well because it is PC only? And you are actually boycotting a PC only game calling it a......"operating system exclusive"?
I'm too shocked really to completely spit my water out on my keyboard laughing at this. And to top it off...you call yourself a PC Gamer only. Please tell me if I got this wrong because if I don't.....holy hell. Reeeeaaaalllly?
Bad character models is a forgivable offense if the gameplay is good, of course. But when your case for playing a game relies so heavily on "look how beautiful the world is", ugly characters are something of a problem.
