| iiicon 03/21/18 1:08:27 PM #6: | I haven't fully formed an opinion on Sea of Thieves yet, but what I think this game lacks in comparison to other games that trade on emergent gameplay is that you have more verbs and scenarios in those games, which in turn creates more varied experiences. In PUBG any number of things can affect your approach to a situation: time in the match, guns, scopes, location in proximity to the circle, location in proximity to buildings, healing items, teammates, map. No two games are alike, the mechanics are so good, and the allure of a chicken dinner is so strong that you can keep playing for hundreds of hours. Sea of Thieves doesn't have that. It offers you a sandbox but only gives you a shovel. I'm having fun with the shovel right now, and it's better playing with friends, but it looks like we're about to run out of things we can do with the shovel and the sun is going down anyway, bye everybody. I don't think I'm going to walk away from this game disappointed just because my initial investment was so low and I have had some fun - everyone needs to pilot a boat solo in a storm while carrying a bunch of loot at least once - but I am a little surprised that it's been three years since the game was revealed and it doesn't seem like they spent much time on things to do. --- ICON: Kiwami means extreme. ...
