Rare is back with another edition of the Sea of Thieves Inn-side Story, this time detailing how the team is working to create a unique multiplayer experience that is friendly, both to those who love that type of experience and to those who've maybe become jaded over the years.

    Dunno. I was really intrigued by this one but then I joined the open beta for XBO and found it to be pretty dull and disinteresting. Hopefully I'll get to try it out on the PC at some point, but as of now it's kind of moved off my list.

    It kind of reminded me of Guns Of Icarus but with the ability of some random crew member to jump overboard and swim off into the sea and abandon his team.

    Some of these ideas sound good... but I'll have to try it again before buying it.

    All I was doing was keeping out water with a bucket and fix holes with wooden planks :O 20 min long, after that I exit.

    Yeah this strikes me as the kind of game that looks amazing in trailers and then dog shit when you actually play it

    Game is really fun, I'm in the alpha testing this weekend. I've sunk 20 hours so far into the Alpha and I still go back for more, can't wait to see what they end up releasing as a finished product. It's one of the smoothest alphas ive ever taken part in and holy crap the water in the game is the best water I've ever seen in a video game.

    i was invited to this weekend's alpha testing, i want to say first of all before everything, the graphic is amazing. you could just be looking at the view for few hour and not get bored. Yet, the game play is a bit dull and simple, all one is to do is get treasure map and go find the treasure and sell them. although the treasure map come both in picture and riddle format so you do need to solve them, but i just cant help to feel bored after lets say 6-7 treasure map hunting. maybe it'll be better if i got to see other ship and fight them, but i havent able to. but one has to think that is almost a year since alpha started and is still at alpha with minimal things to do, can this game really be successful, i mean with this progression, it might easily get over take by skull and bones by ubi (although Ubi is always cool looking trailer but shit when game comes out)

    LOL why would you even bother responding to shit bait. Only people who like shit get baited by it.

    Quite good and fun, need more MP progression to be more persistent, moving away from the match-up with other players and play every time you join in, really would like to see it more open ended :)
