Sea Of Thieves Is Microsoft's Fastest-Selling New IP On Xbox One

@joannadark360: it was a damn creative rant if i have ever seen one. thumbs up from me!

@Ansem_Rev: 4k resolution has nothing to do with visual fidelity. i think you need a lesson lol... anyways, like i said: karma is a bitch and it works both ways. the problem with xbox this generation is that it is usually on the stinky end of the stick :D

@mojoterra99: I'm sure this comment will be easily reduced to the 'fan boy', but besides ReCore, which I was pretty disappointed with graphically and didn't make it too far into, I have immensely enjoyed their new IP's.

Ryse was more than a pretty tech demo. The combat was a bit shallow and repetitive, but it had some of the most unique settings and high impact combat I've seen for awhile. I think had the game done well, it could easily have been a great new franchise. I feel there are too little of Rome based games out there that aren't RTS. The game is still an impressive looking game 4 and a half years in.

Quantum Break was in my opinion fantastic. I have no idea why it did not sell better, but if I did, I'd be in marketing. The premise was unique, the graphics were pretty gorgeous and the story, again to me, was really interesting and deep. I played the game at least three times. The only issue I had with it was the amount of reading that took place, lost opportunity for cut scenes or voice acting on some pretty important bits of story.

One really cool version of stuff you had to read though was near the end where you make it to where the main bad guy was and there is about 20 white boards of really interesting info to look over. The powers were also really fun to use as well. I really feel, just as I did with Alan Wake, that Quantum Break has(had?) a great series potential. I also enjoyed the live action segments as well.

Sunset Overdrive was absolutely a blast. The colorful graphics were great, the story, 4th wall breaking and millennial aimed movie jokes were hilarious. The gameplay traversal was fun and fluid and the weapons were insane. The single player is well worth it, but the multiplayer was also a lot of fun. It may have been one of the most fun games I've ever played honestly, the comedic atmosphere of the entire game was spectacular. I really hope Insomniac does a sequel to it for the Xbox system.

ReCore I was excited for, but I watched a video comparison of the PC version vs the Xbox One and I was pretty aggravated about how low quality the graphics were when it was clearly easily obtainable on the console version. A lot of the textures irritated me, so I played it a bit and swept into the to play list, which is sad because it looked like a fun platformer.

I don't have Sea of Thieves yet because I was very aware that the game required a lot of co op and recently I do not have the time to play co op heavy games or to be honest, a solid three extra people that would be able to play consistently. I do intend to buy it because it looks like a fun game to play if you have a decent party together, but I'll wait till I know that's something I will have. It looks beautiful, but I can see why people have complaints. The game has massive potential, I just hope Rare takes a GTA Online approach and starts adding more activities and content to the game.

Of course the Albatross of new Xbox IP's, Scale Bound, is still brought up to this day. I will admit, I was pretty excited for it and still wish we had a better explanation for what happened there. Phil has said the game was simply not going to live up to the hype and had been pushed back again. Maybe they saw that the parts shown were very promising, but the game itself was simply not coming together as a whole product.

Anyways, I think Ryse had great potential while Quantum Break and Sunset Overdrive absolutely should have received sequels.

I'm in no way saying that these games are better than Sony IP's, I don't own a Playstation and haven't played them, but I do feel that most of Xbox's new IP's this gen deserved at least one sequel.

@mojoterra99: Nier & Nioh is on PC fam . Not exclusive to Sony in anyway . Microsoft owns PC space and X1

@Mogan: By looking at the quality and content,SO and QB should be ahead of SoT by miles
