This is just after a four hours of gameplay upon release last night and this morning. Game definitely has something new for a former Navy sailor. Initial quest and learning curve without tips/hints during game play was surprising however once I set sail it was one.
Noticed the PVP aspect is a bit like WOW when completing quest you could get jacked before quest completion which sucks when getting jacked but am sure karma will play my way once am fully acclimated to rape, pillage, and plunder with a crew of my own.
Overall the start is great and if your looking for something new highly recommend this game.
