That sounds like a bunch of promises made by someone in marketing.
So much “journalism” feels like advertising.
Ah, enlightenment. So, no pre-orders, right?
Never pre order.
Sounds really cool, though still very light on details. I also hope it’s playable solo since it feels so hard to get a group of 4 people together as a working adult
Void crew is a version of this playable today. You can definitely play solo but nothing really comes close to how easy a game like SoT is to play solo
Oh yeah, nothing says “easy solo play” quite like Sea of Thieves.
I mean with safer seas and diving direct to content, yeah. I solo sloop a lot and it’s absolutely doable from a mechanics perspective. With void crew and this game it doesn’t look like one player really CAN fly a ship around and feel like a space adventurer. In SoT you absolutely can solo play and feel like a pirate.
PvP is harder of course but at least possible.
Generally speaking if the company offers a Discord that’s a good place to meet people and group up. I did it a lot with Remnant 2.
Haha yeah, I’m just getting to a point where I’m old and don’t want to make new accounts for things
I’m getting to the point where I’m old and I don’t wanna make new friends. Even though I have zero. It’s fucked up. I’m lonely, but not lonely enough to connect with anyone.
Full screen pop up ads, site is cancer
Why are you using the internet without a condom?
I get the experience of unprotected internet in my Lemmy app which uses Chrome for preview windows instead of Firefox. Haven’t seen ads in a decade so it’s a pretty wild contrast
I’d recommend DNS66 from f-droid, uses the phone’s VPN support to block ad DNS requests. It will filter ads and trackers from all apps on the phone.
Does your app have an option to open links in the default external browser (which I would assume you have Firefox as)?
Yes it does, I can also choose Open External on specific links - which I do when I know I want to read or remember the link.
I haven’t changed the default behavior because I like keeping stuff “in” the app instead of filling my browser with tabs. I’m not saying that’s a good reason but it’s why I do it
Sounds like you need a pihole.
To add more excuses to the mix: I’m currently living with family while house hunting so I have no control over my network until I move :(
But it doesn’t bother me a ton so I’ll just live with it for now
I’m in. 🤞🏽
I’ve always said that the Railjack in Warframe really deserved to be its own game instead of a shoehorned game mode.
This looks like what that idea could be. Just being able to play Sea of Thieves IN SPACE!!! is a home-run of an idea.
Honestly I kinda got a bit of the SoT feeling from playing Space Engineers.
I thought Notch was employee #1 of Mojang.
Notch was the founder and owner of Mojang. When they talk about “employee #x” they mean employees after the founders even if the founders are on the payroll.
I’m a bit concerned that someone somewhere thought that a game mix that contained Sea Of Thieves actually constituted a good proposition.
Sea of thieves is a solid 4/10 and marketers over here are treating it as some kind of high standard. It makes me question their credibility.
Oh never mind it’s IGN of course they said this. They know less about gaming than my mother.
It may not be your cup of tea, but a lot of people (me included) really like SoT.
Yeah this feels like a really biased take
It’s unfortunately classic Lemmy. Every post has at least one person commenting something along the lines of “Why would anyone like this?” as opposed to, y’know, actually engaging with the content.
Like you just did? Because going by Steam reviews my comment was justifiable
If i had people to play with i would probably play it a lot. My friend group was only invested in the game for like 6-10 hours during covid and imo we had a hell of a time just hanging out trying things.
It might have started a 4/10. By now, it’s touching 10/10 IMHO. But of course you have to like the kind of game it is.
