Sea of Thieves - pretty much an endless series of fetch quests... but at least the water is pretty. Sunk about 20hrs and got bored with it.

I love watching rooster teeth's streams of it, but feel no desire to buy it myself.
Mahanos
It's such a tragic game. The experience is so unique and wonderful, yet it's like they forgot to make a video game underneath it all.
Calcifiera
It's more of an experience than a game, which I'm not complaining about. I like loading up my boat and just sailing the open seas.
WiqidBritt
I played the beta and found it very relaxing just soloing on the little boat.
KraftyKev
Fetch quests dotted with sinking enemy ships whipe my wife and I yell pirate slang at them!
welluhwhatdoyouwantmetosay
More like Sea of Griefs.
Plyr3
Maybe you should try not to sink then?
KresblainTheMagician
I play with friends and we just make our own fun. There's a lot to do if you have a sense of humor and creativity.
rdeyles
There's a streamer on twitch (barny) who ignores the quests and acts like a real pirate, scamming the other players, killing and plundering.
His trolling is quite hilarious.
DVSBSTrD
Hehehe "sunk"
bonehead214
Usually the ones who give up on the game are the ones who aren't very good at it...perhaps with friends you'd be better and they are bringin
Eh - we had a full galleon, wrecked everyone we encountered, fought the cracken, did raids. It just got monotonous after we reached that cap
CallMeAncalagonTheBlack
Idk. It's my number one game. I love spending time with it
More content into it along with weekly events in between its a base game with room to grow...good idea the only game I really play anymore

It's a game without the game parts unfortunately.

I sunk about an hour into it before I got so extremely motion sick. ive never gotten it with any other game before.
I get motion sick all the time with fp games. I've learned making the field of view largest and turning off motion blur fixes my problem
I need to get a new monitor i cant make the fov any bigger on any of my games because its a tv not a monitor so it doesnt work well
MCdaGrinder
I sunk my ship
Yojoo
The PvP is occasionally amazing, but you can sometimes go hours without a real encounter.
SincerelyHated
Oh yeah mashing the trigger to do 1of 2 sword attacks or shooting each other with 1 of 3 guns that all react the same. Deep PvP for sure ~_~
I meant ship vs. ship, crew vs. crew. Obviously the individual gunplay won't stand up to a modern FPS.
The individual anything won't stand up against any other game to be honest. Even the anchor is missing!
Skull & Bones is going to kill this game

Bad move. You are the "T" being crossed. All of their guns bare and none of yours. Plus you are a longer target with more range.
Those who cross mr T are fools.

There is. But it is generally a bad idea as if fucks up both ships. I still do it though. Because fun.

and by the number of people who don't know the difference between 'bare' and 'bear'
godskook
They just don't have the right koalafications, tbh.
OrangeFlavours
Eh, I learned this from assassin's creed black flag. It's pretty simple, can they shoot you? No? Can you shoot them? Okay good!
alwaysL8
Unless you're going for a ram, then this is primo tactics. But depending how many guns are being brought to bare that might not work anyway
Dreigiau
depends on manning too; if they can patch the holes they'll get faster than you can patch your holes, it's a poor choice
dennisprager
but he can just ram them
wuppieigor
In more modern ships, the one being broadside would be the one receiving the paddlin'
in more modern ships, missiles. If you were somehow in gun range, maybe, since most ships only carry a single gun now
I was talking about ww1 and ww2 era
WWI and WWII still loved to cross the T. They had 1-2 guns that face forward, but some ships had 6-10 guns that faced broadside.
Being broadside made them a way easier target though

SirSidneyRuffDiamond
, in the days of sail there weren't many guns pointing forward
Okay I figured it was like that. I was confused because I thought he was saying getting out of the T was a bad idea
but a decent ship of the line had upwards of 35 pointing sideways, so if you could get broadside on, you could rip them apart
snackmanistan
Once forward facing/rotating guns came the tactics reversed. In WWI & II you were asking to be sunk if you showed your broadside like that.
Medic36
That's...exactly what snack said...
Zugzoo
You made that up. Google "Battle of Leyte Gulf crossing the T". US battleships crossed Japanese and wrecked them, Oct 25 1944.
Nordenfeldt
Um, no. Completely false. A ship could only bring a few guns to bear fire and aft. Read the Pacific surface battles: still crossing the T.
Assbassador
Wouldn't the real danger be torpedoes and not forward guns? Making ships crossing the T more succeptable to sinking?
Torpedoes were incredibly unreliable at range, and the US ones were 60% duds. Destroyer and TB screens would charge ahead and engage.
Ian Toll has a few excellent books on this, or any about the cruiser battles around Guadalcanal. Everyone strove for full broadsides.
madwookie
A lot of this misinformation has come from how World of Warships plays
SlightlyRelatedToThePost
His point is you don't show a perfect 90 degree broadside. It's the absolute weakest angle for your armor. You go in just angled enough 1/2
that the rear turret(s) have an angle of fire, and turn toward the enemy while reloading. Full broadside exposes the citadel. 2/2
Prinzka
You can't "expose" the citadel. The whole idea of a citadel is to not have armor elsewhere. There would be no difference between a shell
ISEESTUPIDPEOPLE
Worked pretty well for Nelson though.

Best to do it across the stern, of course, your shot sweeps through the weaker stern and guts the ship unobstructed by hull.
