Split across three hilarious Tall Tales packed with secrets and side-quests, Sea of Thieves: The Legend of Monkey Island invites pirates to meet classic char...
It also seems like most people have a generally bad opinion of the game. Been trying to convince my few gamer friends to give it a shot for ages, but it doesn’t look like I’ll be playing the game anytime soon :')
I do think there’s a very vocal minority that gives it a bad rap. I’ve had numerous moments with other players while playing this game that I simply can’t have anywhere else. It generates very unique and organic interactions with people. There’s nothing quite like tucking on someone’s boat and lying in wait for the right moment to kill them all and take their booty!
But being PvPvE, it can illicit some pretty strong reactions from people who haven’t come to terms with being sunk, and opponents that are being toxic.
There’s also the fact that Rare seems to spend more time adding new content to pull in players than actually fixing basic problems. You’ll shoot at someone and get a hit registration, many times in a row without them eating (to heal) or dying. There has also been an influx of cheaters lately that they have seemingly yet to address. And it’s not subtle, there are videos of people having kegs dropped onto their boat by a flying person 100ft above them, and watching them fly away just before the keg explodes.
Yeah, most of my friends fall into that group. It’s a tough sell, unfortunately. Good luck!
