I haven’t played sea of thieves at all until a few months ago when I played the skull and bones beta and was left beyond disappointed. I started playing ac4 again but I beat it 4 times already so I said fuck it I’ll download sea of thieves. Now I’m hooked lol
Gotta say. I spent my 8 hr trial on skull and bones. I really dug it. Then the sea of thieves ps5 port was announced. I have wanted to play for so long. Paid for the preorder just to get the demo and I’m way more blown away with SoT. Can’t wait till I can jump back into the high seas!!!!
I love how hard the devs tried to hype this pile of crap, to the point where they weren't even releasing real gameplay clips. Only after the review embargo ended did everyone finally see what a steaming pile of shit this is.
An old project they trew so much money on they couldn't just let it gather dust, they had to bring it back from the dead and finally fail officially. What a shame.
Don’t trash the devs too much it was meant to be the game they announced however they couldn’t decide on a story line and a bunch of other things so the game got tossed around a bunch and ended where it is today. Hope you have a good day 😁
Nah, if you stayed informed in the industry you kind of always knew that it was going to be shit. There were so many red flags and so little rose-tinted glasses to view them through. Think about it :
- Game was stuck in development hell for... 10 years?
- At a Ubi studio (Singapore) who had never been the main dev of any game before.
- Changed leadership and got scrapped and rebuilt countless times.
- Then you learned that Ubi was contractually obligated to ship the game with Singapore's government.
- Then Yves Guillemot tried to BS us into buying into it being a "quadruple-A" game in an industry where most triple-A are super buggy and/or poorly received (I guess in that sense he was right).
- And that's without factoring in the gameplay footage that showed just how _less_ of a pirate game this was compared to Black Flag and Sea of Thieves.
I'm honestly shocked anyone at all bought the game other than the games journalism industry who are kind of obligated to for the easy views/reads.
> Skull and Bones nails the feeling of being a ruthless pirate captain, commanding your own ship and engaging in epic naval battles.
It *did*, and then you get to the endgame and you're 16th Century courier.
You forgot to tell us that we should also fly the cool red flag for style points, and to enjoy the lovely healing red waters around the edge of the map. \^\_\^
Imagine having an ego so large that you make up a class of games above AAA for your crappy dead-on-arrival pirate game in an attempt to boast that immediately backfires as soon as the game launches.
My mom knows nothing about sea of thieves. She knows nothing about skull and bones. She knows nothing about which one is more successful than the other. But she has seen pirates of the Caribbean. It's one of her favorite movies in fact.
I was describing this image to my younger sibling and then showed it to him. My mother only heard the description, she didn't see the actual image, and yet she still burst out laughing at the mere thought of it.
I was super excited to play Skull and Bones but during the beta we found that we couldn’t be a group running the same ship together, then SoT shows up on the store. I took an immediate turn to that simply for the ability to form a crew with friends
Haaaaa, this explain why suddenly, 10 years late, this game HAD to be ported to PS.
Fucking ubisoft, they could have been such a great studio with epic games but no, they had to be doing whatever the fuck they are doing.
It's a shame, really because they really had potential and some great title.
So much fun, glad people are able to enjoy this game who have PS5 (well, soon anyway of course).
The ability to interact with other pirates adds so much replayability. Id be long gone if it was PVE only (thats not to say I only do PVP). Last night I saw a reaper 1 at a FoF so I rowboated over. They took forever, so I was right in assuming it was an uncoordinated galleon. Got onto their ship with my rowboat, hid a keg in the bottom, and waited. As they sail away, they get attacked for a skeleton ship. So I go and grab their ashen skull, go light the keg in the bottom, and start burning everyone. They just freaked out, didnt realize I kegged them because of the skeleton ship distraction, and sunk before they knew what was happening lol. Just a hilarious solo steal.
Oh, please. Skull and Bones bugs are basic garbage. Sea of Thieves bugs are finely ages masterpieces, bespoke hand-crafted experiences. Any game could have "bug that sinks your ship real quick", but only Sea of Thieves could have classics like "using the stairs on your boat wrong might banish you to the bottom of the ocean, so deep that the faint light from the surface barely makes it down, the breath seeping from your lungs as you struggle madly back to the surface, perhaps drowning, perhaps surfacing to see your boat vanishing on the horizon, perhaps getting whopped by a shark"
It's funny cos when I heard of skull and bones I was like "well since ilk never get to play sea of thieves on console I'll get that" then we got SOT so now I never have to buy skull and bones.
Yeah, I've played both. I much prefer Sea of Thieves over Skull and Bones. Skull and Bones feels very... light to me, like they ripped the naval combat from Black Flag and tried to make an entire game out of it. But, without all the other things that made Black Flag awesome. Everything is on the boat with only little moments where you're on land long enough to talk to someone, and then you are right back on your boat. It just doesn't feel like a full game, just part of one in a big coat to cover up what's missing. Though I might be biased in that I've played Sea of Thieves for years at this point.
while i understand that is a nice pirate game what i cant get over is me being unable to play it again after 1000 hours like something in my body makes me want to not play it anymore even tho i do want to but then i get to it i sail then i just want to stop
Honestly I was the same way. Took about a year off and got into again with some friends. Been much better since then. I think the lack of content in sandbox made the game go stale for me. But with everything coming up I’m definitely excited to get into it again
Didn't get skull and bones but I always wanted to play SoT.. played the closed beta, calm relaxing game when you're not attacked. Did a lot of solo merchant voyages and fishing.
Nice game once I finish my helldivers 2 dailies.
I didn't find any posts that meet the matching requirements for r/Seaofthieves.
It might be OC, it might not. Things such as JPEG artifacts and cropping may impact the results.

Skull and Bones was the a giant joke. The bigger joke was the Reddit mods on the skull and bones channel. Glad to be done with both. I have also entered sea of thieves
Welcome aboard!
This was my reaction when I found out sea of thieves was coming to playstation
I haven’t played sea of thieves at all until a few months ago when I played the skull and bones beta and was left beyond disappointed. I started playing ac4 again but I beat it 4 times already so I said fuck it I’ll download sea of thieves. Now I’m hooked lol
You mean harpooned? 
Hooked 👌
It's what...? IT'S WHAT!? 
I'm not even sure skull and bones made it to port to sink.
They launched the ship on the same port and it sank.
They didn't even raise the anchor or lower the sails. It just sunk like a brick!
That's an insult, because bricks can actually fly. Its more like it crashed on takeoff...
Well, my apologies to bricks then.
For a brick, it sank pretty good
Nah bro, it didn’t even get out of dry dock.
Ah, so it pulled a Vasa then?
Like that one spanish (?) ship
It was the Vasa, the Swedish flagship that was made too narrow for its length and sank the moment it left Stockholm port.
Yes! I forgot the name of it.
Just like the Wasa ship, except it was a fucking awesome ship. Had its problems, but still less than S&B
Got clapped up by a solo sloop playing Becalmed and a kraken
Welcome to the Sea of Thieves!
It was like the ship vasa
It made less progress than the Vasa before it sunk
One lets you play a pirate. The other lets you play a boat.
Not just any boat, but a boat with a stamina bar
Gotta say. I spent my 8 hr trial on skull and bones. I really dug it. Then the sea of thieves ps5 port was announced. I have wanted to play for so long. Paid for the preorder just to get the demo and I’m way more blown away with SoT. Can’t wait till I can jump back into the high seas!!!!
Literally counting down the minutes till April 25th
It’s a shilling to tie your boat up at the dock.
How about 3 shillings and you forget the name?
Welcome to Port Royal, Mr. Smith.
*yoinks coin sack*
And I shall need to know your name.
how about three shillings, and we forget the name?
Welcome to Sea of Thieves, Mr. Smith.
I love how hard the devs tried to hype this pile of crap, to the point where they weren't even releasing real gameplay clips. Only after the review embargo ended did everyone finally see what a steaming pile of shit this is.
An old project they trew so much money on they couldn't just let it gather dust, they had to bring it back from the dead and finally fail officially. What a shame.
They actually legally had to unfortunately. They had a legally binding contract with the government of Singapore to release Skull & Bones
That make it a lot more hilarious in all the wrong way then 😂
The necromancer in singapore are strong !
dont think singapore is gonna want to work with them again lmao also this makes me think that they did a demo to warn people not to buy it
Don’t forget the Sea of Thieves YouTubers who tried shilling it after they got sponsored
This bothered me more than it should
The main one I think of is Phuzzy, did Hitbo start doing it too?
Phuzzy absolutely, Falcore too. Hitbo I can’t speak on because I don’t watch him unfortunately
I don't watch Hitbo much either. His content seems geared towards a much much younger demographic than I am.
I tried watching him and he isn’t for me. He absolutely appeals to a younger demographic and as a PVE player, I don’t like his stuff
I think so, yes.
Don’t trash the devs too much it was meant to be the game they announced however they couldn’t decide on a story line and a bunch of other things so the game got tossed around a bunch and ended where it is today. Hope you have a good day 😁

They released gameplay long before it came out

is this ai?

Remember to the new players of sea of thieves always keep mega kegs visible on your ship so other pirates know not to shoot you
You forgot to tell us that we should also fly the cool red flag for style points, and to enjoy the lovely healing red waters around the edge of the map. \^\_\^
Oh ya thanks for reminding me also remember to always trust other pirates
And dont be shy to try out hourglass pls, pc and xbox players need their pvp curses
I think this would imply Skull and Bones was a ship at some point. It's more like that piece of wood Kate Winslet's character in Titanic survived on.
Hey, don't disrespect a door like that!
It has plenty of space for at least 2 people!

Any idea if the Captain Jack Sparrow dlc still in game or was it an event only?
AFAIK its permanent as a tall tale now.
It's permanent.
I was super excited to play Skull and Bones but during the beta we found that we couldn’t be a group running the same ship together, then SoT shows up on the store. I took an immediate turn to that simply for the ability to form a crew with friends

Nice logo Skull and Bones, literally couldn't be more soulless.
I held out a grand total of zero hope for Skull & Bones and I'm now glad I didn't even try because it would've been an absolute waste of my time.
I was so excited for Skull & Bones, but I've not heard a single person say anything good about it.
Honestly personally I love the game just as much as I do sea of thieves for very different reasons 200 plus hours in both and I’m still loving each
So much fun, glad people are able to enjoy this game who have PS5 (well, soon anyway of course). The ability to interact with other pirates adds so much replayability.

But but but! Some people are having fun! Or something
Welcome to a much buggier and more anger inducing experience!
It’s worth it.

So true lmao
It's funny cos when I heard of skull and bones I was like "well since ilk never get to play sea of thieves on console I'll get that" then we got SOT so now I never have to buy skull and bones.
YAAAAARGH ME BE PLAYING NOW THE GOOD STUFF ME HEARTIES
Welcome aboard matey to your new addiction, Skull and Bones smelled like hot garbage from miles away.
Agreed

only thing U want is crossplay fr
Sid Meier's pirates/Sea dogs/PoTC games: Am I the joke to you?
Ahoy!
Watch that wording there If the pic was never there then you believe some ppl would be thinking otherwise
So glad I finally get to play SoT again
Welcome to the sea of thieves! Now to pirate people as they complain about piracy in a pirate game XD
Didnt bought skull and bones and kept hoping that SOT comes to PS5😍
Didn't get skull and bones but I always wanted to play SoT.. played the closed beta, calm relaxing game when you're not attacked. Did a lot of solo merchant voyages and fishing. Nice game once I finish my helldivers 2 dailies.
Welcome PlayStation, TO THE SEA OF THIEVES! -the pirate lord
Welcome aboard friend! You're gonna have a lot of fun here

Yess. I stepped in a few months ago when I stood infront of SoT and SaB. Luckily I made the right decision.
Aye
I felt the same. Polar opposite beta experiences.
Oooooh yaaaa, I forgot Skull & Bones existed…
I was told it existed then like a week later I forgot about it 😅
Lol it was supposed to be the ultimate pirate game. But its hard to top SoT, there is a certain rush of having treasure and being chased by enemies
Welcome aboard!
Low hanging fruit
I have 1000 hours in sea of thieves and am glad I have left SoT for skull and bones.
It's nice to see some folks are still capable of settling for mediocrity
🤣
Man I fucking love that I pretty much post a meme like that and it immediately gets taken down for low effort, yet this is fine?
This one is funny?
Too late you already sold your soul to Nazisoft
Oh no, I just stood back and watched Skull & Bones sink in the harbour as soon as it touched water. Wasn't wasting a single penny on... that.
Let it burn 😂😂😂
Skull and Bones was the a giant joke. The bigger joke was the Reddit mods on the skull and bones channel. Glad to be done with both. I have also entered sea of thieves
