This is amazing. My wife and I played all of the monkey island games.
That theme song is just so good. Man I love the monkey island games so fuckin much
Perfect crossover! Will be excited to play this!
That takes me back lol. I’ve always been eyeing Sea of Thieves, but as a forever solo player, is it something you can play by yourself or do you really need some mates?
Been a while since I played so I suppose things could have changed but I doubt it. You can definitely play it by yourself and likely have a good time but every where you go and everything you do will have that feeling of “designed to be played with multiple people” all over it if that makes sense. The only big downside is you have pretty much no chance against other teams just trying to make things difficult for you. Also piloting a ship is a bit of a pain but yourself but you can just use smaller ships to make it easier.
My big complaint about the game was that it’s so multiplayer focused while making it so very hard to coordinate a play-session with friends.
One friend running late? Well, you’ll either need to get a ship that’s too big for the group until the friend joins (and hope they actually do), or you’ll have to end and restart the session to size up the ship.
Someone needs to go suddenly? Same problem but possibly worse (since you’ve probably got a ship full of stuff and could run into other players as you go to turn in, which could suddenly make sign-off a drag)
Having friends to play with is ideal for survivability. They’ve definitely made it more playable as a solo sloop, but I just don’t find playing the game as much fun alone. Solving the quest puzzles is more fun in a group imo. There is an “open crew” mode where you’ll get paired with other random people; I’ve never done it, but I’ve heard it can be real hit or miss…mostly miss.
I’ve got over 200 hours logged according to steam and I’ve never finished the base storyline. SoT is a PvPvE game, so you’ll go into it planning to do one thing, but you have to be ok with having your plans interrupted by other players or random events. You log into SoT to have an adventure, but you don’t know what it’s going to be.
Yeah, that’s kind of the vibe I got. I’ve watched a few videos of people playing, but my friend group either isn’t interested in the game or they just don’t game so… Maybe I can convince them
Yeah, most of my friends fall into that group. It’s a tough sell, unfortunately. Good luck!
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 :')
Awwww, damn it. Im going to need to get in to Sea Of Theives now!
I might try Sea of Thieves just for this.
This actually tempts me to buy sea of thieves. Well played Microsoft!
This is so awesome, I am really hyped. Love both Monkey Island and Sea of Thieves.
Did you know that there is a Monkey Island secret in one of the Jack Sparrow tall tales telling the story of Captain Kate Capsize?
