Now, the reason why Rare staff is putting in that extra effort (or at least one of the many, many reasons) is that we have all paid a fixed price for the game and we expect some support in return. However, the landscape is soon about to change, as microtransactions will soon be introduced. Of course, they will not alter the gameplay in any way and the only confirmed items for the real-money store are cosmetic pets, so we are not about to get a pay-to-win title. And yet, I can’t help but wonder how that will affect the community, despite it being the only sensible way to pay for the server maintena

Sea of Thieves lets players suit up as a pirate and embark on high seas adventures in a quest for treasure! But no loot comes without risk of combat. While other pirate crews are the most unpredictable and certainly, have the potential to be the most dangerous, the in-game AI enemies can pose their own problems

Skeleton Captains (Bosses) - At the end of a Skeleton Fort raid, and on Order of Souls Voyages, Skeleton Captains will appear. These boss-style characters have unique names above their heads in red text and can absorb a lot of damage. You just have to grind them down with your crew if ship cannons and red barrels aren't available for the fi

And what makes the wait for more first-party titles all the more troublesome is that Microsoft just released the Xbox One X - the most powerful video game console ever created - and they should be leveraging all that power by making Xbox One X exclusive games . On that note, one thing to keep in mind is that, because of those aforementioned cancellations and delays, Microsoft may be waiting to announce any new titles until they are sure those games will hit store shelves in a reasonable amount of time. Granted, they are doing exceptional work with Xbox Play Anywhere and Xbox Backwards Compatibility, but those aren't enough when gaming is about looking to the future as much as it is about preserving the past. Let's just hope that gamers aren't left waiting too long for new, truly worthwhile cont

While we’re on the subject of "choose-your-own-adventure," let’s take a look at the biggest selling point of the game - its core concept. While a lot of people complained about the lack of content (and some of them - rightly so), the majority of the criticism came from players that didn’t comprehend the basic idea of Sea of Thiev

Sea of Thieves developer Rare has published a full list of the game's 60 achievements (for sneak a peek at this web-site. total of 1,000 points), but with a special pirate-y twist. Rather than explaining what players have to do to unlock the achievement, each one has been presented as a riddle. This adds a bit of fun to achievement hunting and lines up well with the upcoming co-op pirate game 's riddle-filled que

The main criticism of Sea of Thieves is the sheer lack of depth in content and progression, and this holds true to an extreme when it comes to the game's NPC population. There's really only one enemy type on quests or in Skeleton Forts (the raids of Sea of Thieves ) and these are skeletons. Most voyages and the game's only fort type involves just skeletons but there are different types with their own attributes. When in the water there are sharks and when in a ship there are Krakens, but those are self-explant

Regular Skeletons - The standard, basic, bone-looking skeleton can spawn in small groups on almost any island. During quests or Skeleton Fort raids, they appear in waves wearing blue bandanas. They can be taken down easily with one shot from any ranged weapon or one lunge with a sword/cutl

It’s no secret that Sea of Thieves has had quite a few issues since its launch last week. Most notably, players have been slamming the servers , trying to get online and partake of Rare’s pirate sandbox. Unfortunately, that influx of players has also led to several other problems, including some bugs with the game’s messaging sys

"We are storing all awarded achievements, and are working to deliver these for all affected players. There is some groundwork in the patch arriving [today] that enables us to then deliver the delayed achievements via a service-side change, but ETA on this is a little loose whilst we work on the plan. We are hoping to enable this by the end of the week, and will share more information so

Still, Microsoft's Xbox team appears to know where its brand is currently lacking, and they're beginning to get back on the right track, if recent promises are anything to go on. According to recent rumors and reports, Microsoft-owned properties like Fable and Perfect Dark are set to be resurrected in the near future - the former by Forza Horizon series developer Playground Games and the latter with help from Gears of War 4 studio The Coalition. Plus, there are also rumors that Forza Horizon 4 will also debut this year. Provided all this information is true, these games are a good start for Xbox as it begins taking advantage of the I.P. currently at its disposal, but it'll take more than a few games down the r
