Sea of Thieves will Flop I don't care about the twitch numbers

The game is cartoony its not realistic at all. This game will be lucky to break 500k its not a horizon zero dawn or a god of war. Its a pile of trash that will be flopping.

Remember who called it here first ProtossX after this game flops Microsoft will go after Rare and may fire them over this incident of making a poor selling game after all these years.

Sea of Thieves has flop written all over it and I'm an Xbox guy I loved MCC collection and Dead rising 3 this game is not on my radar its not being bought by me I don't even want it for free.

Cool blog

Uh huh, sure

Some people, if they can't jerk off to it then it is simply not worth getting.

I think Crackdown 3 has way more chances to flop then Sea of Thieves.

@ProtossRushX: None of us were waiting for you to jump online in it so we don't care.

I have said since I joined the alpha last February that it will not sell massively like the games you mentioned. But it will have It's community and we will have fun. You have a blast with your 15 hour God of TLOU campaign guy. You know what? Play it twice!!!

And you didn't call this a flop first. @Quadknight has been saying it for like a year now lol

you think that one might get canceled?

Mario, World of Warcraft, Cuphead, list goes on and on says hi! I am not saying the game will flop or not, but being cartoony is not a knock on a game. Jesus people! When you start a line with this kind of bullshit it really makes it hard to read the rest.

It's definitely not my kind of game... but I don't think it will "flop". But time will tell.

Sea of Thieves seems way more interesting to me than any of the Sony first party stuff coming out. it actually seems to have some original ideas.

speaking as someone who owns a PS4 and no XBOX (though I do have a PC that i'll play MS first party stuff on)

Anything's possible. MS will be the laughing stock if Crackdown 3 get's scrap. Oh well, nobody ask for it, might as well put it out of it's misery :P

Well isn’t that special.

Come on System Wars, for once, don't bite.

So will Crapdown 3.

Holy shit, of actual legitimate criticisms you could have levelled against SoT, your thread comes off like a man-child wrote it... Congratulations.

Being included in Game Pass will at least help bolster the online community so not worried about lack of players.

As an owner of both a Xbox One and a PS4, I'm much more interested in playing Sea of Thieves than I am in playing any of Sony's upcoming movie "games" which seems to be the only thing that they like to make nowadays. Sea of Thieves is original and looks like it will be a really fun game to play with friends.

I agree. Sea of thieves is too cartoony and it is made by Rare who have not made a great game in 17 years.

I actually seriously doubt that, since yesterday it has been #1 on Twitch, and both game versions have skyrocketed to the top of the Amazon chart. I decided to finally try the game yesterday after seeing the Closed Beta just appear in my ready to install list.

My expectations were blown away, this is one of the best online experiences I've had in a while, you really do feel like a pirate out at sea and the game has awesome co-op moments. The water graphics are superb, the waves are very realistic and without going into much detail, one of the most thrilling moments I had playing it was me and 3 other people navigating the waters in a heavy storm. Everyone was shouting and giving orders, I tried to tell the others to repair the holes in the bottom while I took out water buckets, but while we were busy doing that, we saw a huge ship come in (other online players) and start firing at us. I had the idea to drop anchor right there, and it worked because the other ship kept sailing away from the heavy currents going up and down....and we eventually managed to dock at an island and relax a little, repair.

Lot of cool moments like that, and while the game needs more polish overall in some areas, and it needs content and a nice progression and mission structure, the core mechanics were solid. I played it for several hours straight and it was one of the most memorable gaming experiences I have had, no exaggeration. Maybe the honeymoon phase and like I said there are other things we have not yet seen, it's just a beta, but I'm very stoked for it now, there is no other game like it out there, and they did a great job overall imo with all the stuff you would expect to be able to do as a Pirate.

Never realized that games that are "cartoony" are known as a "pile of trash".

Well it is about Xbox. I'm convinced that cows PM each other to decide who's job it is to make the next stupid Xbox thread.

BOTW was cartoony and wasn't realistic, so your opinion is flawed at best.

They're probably all the same person... Quacknight?

Reddit is shitting on it hard lol. Unfortunately I don’t think this one will be the winner xbone needs.

To TC. You are beyond lost in console wars to even like playing good games. why would you root for people in a profession you appreciate as a hobby to fail? Lose their jobs etc?

A real enthusiast would root for them all, and call BS when it's deserved but never for someone to fail, regardless of preference. Ok, Beaver go to your room.

Not your thing?...that my friend is a YOU Problem. No one asked you, and doubt you were invited to the Beta which is actually pretty cool so far.

QUick question, what do you think Sea of thieves will turn out score wise? But I bet you won't even answer, because you know deep down inside its going to flop :(

It looks like one of those out of nowhere games on Steam that quickly blows up.

Except it's on Xbox/nobody-cares. and won't blow up.

I think this would be another case of what happened to Pokemon Go. Really big hype when released then that hype will die down after 2-3 months.

I hate the look of the game it doesn't interest me at all but that doesn't mean its going to fail.

You just know if this had been a PS exclusive Sony fans would be rock fucking hard for it. But i guess slagging off what you can’t play make it easier.

Then again i forgot that all PS fans have high end PC’s so could play on that i guess.

Firstly, can’t judge a game by its art style. Some of the best games out there have a colorful cartoonish look for their visuals instead of a realistic look. Secondly, it does look fun and people seem to be really enjoying it.

Now question for those that played it, do you need a group of friends to play or can you join up with randoms or play solo?

:P

Really cartoony visuals? What a crap argument especially when Breath Of The Wild was one of the best selling and the most highly praised game of 2017. This is like lems saying a game is niche/weeby just because it has anime art style.

@sirk1264: There is a solo mode where your boat is much smaller. I have not tried that yet, it says it is for advanced players, presumably because it would be considered a lot tougher to be out there on your own.

A lot of the game mechanics are built around co-op play though, for example when you want to bring up the Anchor, you can do it on your own, but if another player comes and starts pushing with you, it brings up the anchor much faster. Or if your boat is sinking, you may need 1 person on the lower deck taking out buckets of water and repairing the holes, while other people are piloting the ship and trying to avoid an enemy attack, etc

Ignoring the boring attempt at a thread, lets quit pretending like microsoft cancels tons of games. Scalebound was almost purely the fault of platinum, and no one would be making that joke if not for that game.

Tell that to Amazon.com both the disk and download versions are currently sold out.

Not to mention the "cartoony" overwatch curb stomped the "ultra-realistic, super edgy, mature gore-fest" lawbreakers.

Microsoft will see the number they want playing it, thanks to there new deal with gamepass having all new titles added permanently from day one. That'll be good enough for them.

@spike6958:

Yep, I'll be doing the Game Pass thingy. :D

This game is going to be huge. I didn't expect such a strong reaction to the beta.

Yeah man, a few people I know including my son have been playing it for months and loving it. My only wish is a SP Campaign. Doubt it but I hope some kind of DLC in the future may offer that.

Has to be the dumbest damn point I have seen anyone try to make on a game as being a negative. I mean cartoony means a game should flop now. ROFLMAO!

I have no love for Xbox One console, but this is lol

The biggest hype lasted well over six months. And the game still brings Nintendo major cash. Every game can only hope to "fail" as successfully as Pokemon Go.

I cant take the opinion of someone who "Loved" dead rising 3 game is a fetch quest pile of crap

I doubt it, the game looks mediocre.

The only reason I have any interest in it is because I love pirates. When I show my PS4 only buddies this game they always laugh and ask if it's an indie game. It looks pretty bad for a game getting the level of hype it's getting. I think it's the other way around, Xbone fans are hyping the shit out of this game because they have nothing else on the horizon.

Amazing thread. Stupidity has no limits it seems.

Personally, I don't see cartoony as a negative.
