Sea of Thieves ..the new hype (PC/XBOX/PeasantStation5)

[itsyoung!!]

In case you live under a rock, Sea of Thieves has catapulted to being the #1 streamed game this week. Every big PUBG and variety gaming streamer has pretty much switched over to Sea of Thieves. The PUBG hype might officially be dead because of this game, as streamers and the community has seemed to moved on

Its a pirate game where you customize your boat, it seems like a pretty big map, and the entire object is to collect chests rather through quests or from robbing / killing other pirates (players) you meet randomly on the ocean

theres sharks, etc.

You basically control a boat and kill other people and its more squad friendly since one has to steer the boat, one has to get water out the bottom or repair the boat and one has to set the sails, etc


which leaves me to this point - it seems streamers set the market as far as game sales goes now a days (and for the past year). TV ads are pretty much useless unless it seems... might as well spend 1/10th of the cost on TV ads on just paying off streamers to try out your game to their target viewers and if the game seems interesting, millions seem to buy

if you need an example see;
-any popular game of the past year.


heres a run down of the game;

To each his own, I guess.

I hope it's successful.

Edit: My kids are going to love this and I'm probably going to be forced to go on these pirate adventures with them.

yueah I saw it was made by Rare earlier

they are smart, going the more Fortnite route of lower end cartoon graphics (more accessible to more users)

Graphics are cartoony but much better than Fortinite. One of the better looking games out IMO.

yeah the enviroment, especially the sea / islands look amazing and the characters seem to be more cartoon like - which probably makes it easier for the PC/console to process since the islands will always look the same (easier to render) while what makes it stressing on cpu/graphics card is when you have to render something new/unique (characters, for example)
