Refund ...this is overpriced garbage

@ojjj it's more about just doing stuff with friends, but i have a question as well and that is that i got the black dog pack and redeemed the code yet i still don't have the outfit yet. Do I just have to wait or is am I not doing something.

@oneinsightning just like to point out that Sea of Thieves is a AAA game.

You are a very sophisticated person. Goodbye!

The game is worth about 10 dollars...we need to hold developers to the fire for pushing out content lacking games like this

30€ would be a fair price. I doubt that anyone can play that game on a daily basis for many hours. It is more something that you will later play from time to time a few hours.

Anyone able to get a refund? Pretty clear why Steam crushes Microsoft in the pc gaming world...

Disagree.. You obviously aren't aware of everything that is in the game or it's the type of game that isn't for you. From your pegi 13 comment I'm pretty sure it's the later.

i expect there to be people with that negative view. but trust me, sea of thieves is what gaming needs , the fun is made by the players, the fun is ever changing , COD .. you shoot you shoot , you may shoot on new maps , but you just shoot and run and shoot and run. there is no game other than minecraft that offers the encounters and fun to be had on sea of thieves , although , they do need more cool things to spend gold on , as soon as i own everything i want , i wont care about treasure or quests , that's when this game becomes garbage

Lol, the f? First you say the fun is made by players. Then you say that the fun goes away once he has all the gear he wants (gear being content made by devs). Do you not hear this contradiction?

If fun was "made by the players", cosmetic upgrades would have no effect on your enjoyment of the game.

I found access to a discord filled with players...each time I log in I enjoy every second and content, is something you need to make yourself. The software is just a playground.

Thank you for your payment, it will help fund a game I like very much!

Aye haha

Totally agreeing the latter part.

What comes to the product and services, I'd say 4/10 for the content, 5/10 for the job and 3/10 for the servers. Little experience how their customer service works so sadly I have to say 1/10, game isn't polished enough from bugs and exploits so 1/10 and the state of marketing was kinda like 3/10. Not like they don't have their expenses covered so at least that is in check. It would be another matter if the dev team had no income to back everything up with. Premium currency should be the in-game gold and this could cost around 1-2 bucks; one size only. No other microtransactions coz the items would only compete with basic content which they should never do.

Verdict: 17/60 bucks for the game as service so far. Occasional microtransaction per client in a month could be around 2 to 3 bucks depending on luck in the future.

I disagree, my overall review of the product would be:
7/10 for the content, as this is a game of service, so it will never be a full game, just one that is evolving.

Service or not, content launched is the full game. The content is then either extended or the mold is filled. There's a reason why companies try to sell their products to younger and younger customers. Less delivered than Hello Games went with in their No Man's Sky, but not much. Very close position I'd say. I like Sea of Thieves more due theme and actual navigation of ships.

Well yeah, No Man's Sky has the spaceship, but at least Sea of Thieves has two ships.

9/10 for the job. Rare have done a tremendous job on this game and always had the policy to show not tell. What we see is what we have got.

What we saw was definitely what we got. Hence no. Not even close. Nice concept though, deep design and the dedication is admirable. I like the ocean. Longer development would have made a clear difference. Rule of thumb: No game should be published before it works at least as a board game. This one was close.

9/10 for the servers. I've only ever had the odd disconnect and/or beard error.

Mine was a very careful evaluation. However, I don't buy that the statistics wasn't within the awareness of both Rare and Microsoft. If they honestly said they didn't know how many players would jump in, I would seriously question the integrity of their information logistics structure.

8/10 for customer service. Have you had cause to use customer services? Have you tried to see how it works before giving it a 1/10?

I haven't. No need. Therefore I at least gave 1 out of 10. I believe each part at least deserves 1 for their existence alone if nothing more. This is something that governs another Ace in a 3Ace title. This one is contributed afterwards so no game is a 3Ace title at launch.

8/10 for polish. The bugs have been fixed throughout the testing period and before the game moved forward, as such SoT had very few bugs at launch. If you have found a bug/bugs then please send in a Support ticket so it can be looked into.

I await bug and exploit free products nowadays. If I find any of these to be present, game never gets a full score here. This drops one Ace from the 3Ace title immediately. Depends from the bugs present how much more into the score is given.

9/10 They have been marketing this game with various vids and clips for over a year now.

At least it was a bit better than when EA marketed their SW Battlefront 2. My main issue here is that I would have appreciated to know that the team didn't develop the game in favour of taking advantage of our younglings when content was defined.

So far.... a pretty good game :D

Yes. It is a nice little game. Fresh air in the making. Big risk though. Huge risk. Not the concept. Concept is solid. Pace and delivery is what worries me.

Well for a bad game it sure is entertaining me and my 60 or so mates!

I'm glad some of you are enjoying the game. Clearly the reviews are terrible and a large amount of people who bought this content void pos would love a refund though.

There sure are a lot of people defending this game with "give it time."

If you pay $60 for a video game it's fair to expect full content from the start, THEN they can build on it with expansions and updates. Upvote, downvote, whatever; reviews are showing that it's a shallow and weak game whether or not your bubble of a forum chooses to believe it.

I wouldn't call the game trash, it's lacking sure but not trash. Sailing feels good, water is beautiful as heck, the style looks good.. They just need to make a couple of changes and some new additions and it would be fine i think. Combat being one thing, more options and tools and also make it less clunky. There needs to be more undead... Not just grunts but bigger ones with different behaviours. captains should work differently to all the others and not just have a different skin with x4 hp. Captains should drop a little extra aswell.. not just a skull but maybe you can collect their hats? might go against their cosmetic grind but eh
