PlayStation players are in for a treat, Best Pirate game ever made!
Rare knows excellent game design. See you on the High Seas.
Not exactly a crowed market, is it?
Anyway, best of luck to the game with its newly expanded audience. It'll probably do pretty decently on PS5, and 99% likely a Switch 2 version will be out when that system launches.

Game of the generation. I hope this helps the game reach many more players. I wonder how it'll review.

Can you play this game solo or do you need friends for it to be fun?

Well, I wish the main game had a fleshed out PvE only mode, but the single player / co-op content is still great. The Pirates of the Carribean and Monkey Island expansions (free) are pretty damn cool.
You can both play the PvPvE and the solo/co-op expansions alone. But the PvP portion _might_ be frustrating in solo until you learn better how to avoid the worst of the griefing. Expect to spend an hour looting for then to lose it all when veteran pirates suddenly appears around a corner.

You're setting it up to be another Starfield? We know how that went, don't keep doing this to Xbox games

Would be funny if this were a new game. This game fucking rules. I can see loner Sony sad pandas not liking it, though.You're setting it up to be another Starfield? We know how that went, don't keep doing this to Xbox games

It's pretty...rare

Now that Sony players can play this, maybe they'll stop pretending like this isn't a good game. For what it is, it's a solid game and the best multiplayer pirate game out there (Skull & Bones in shambles)

SoT is easily one of the best live service games. Obviously it had a rough launch but it's a game in its own category, really unique.

I actually doubt it will sell all that well.

If MS has any intent on retaining the value and importance of Gamepass when it comes to their business model, this will never happen. MS could literally decide to get out of the hardware side of games entirely, and it still wouldn't make sense to put their games on Sony's version of their subscription service.
He’s not wrong.
So damn salty lol

I can't tell you how much fun I've had playing this with my daughter and brother. Absolute no go in Solo though, boring as all hell.

I played this game for a couple of hours when it first launched and while it had charm it was pretty boring, has it changed much since?
It's a completely different game now.
Going to be interesting if people still try to use metacritic scores from 2018 to trash this when it releases.
They're not even the same game. SOT you play as a pirate, Skull and Bones you play as a ship. SOT is a AAA pirate MMO made by one of the best developers on the planet. Skull and Bones is an UbiSoft extortion scam to get money from the Singapore government and it's basically one of those cheap mobile games you see advertised. SOT is one of the best games in the last decade. Skull and Bones is one of the worst games ever made. UbiSoft is trying to charge $70-100 for Skull and Bones. SoT is usually $40.

An MTX-heavy GaaS game landing on a foreign sub could make sense. As with the game ports themselves, it'd be a case-by-case basis, but more something for further down the line; just no point ruling the idea out completely when it could make prefect business sense.

Yes, I'm sure you were going to buy a Xbox just to play a single 6 year old game.

They are publishing it under Microsoft.

It's crazy that MS might be helping out Sony immensely since their PS studios 2024 plans are not packed at all.
At Ubisoft the only possible response to this must have been "ffs, now we don't even have the PS platform for ourselves".
I don't think this is a game I like. Never were much of a Jack Sparrow, Master Commander and whatnot fan, the topic is just not for me, no matter if funny or serious. I might try for free, but have zero interest in buying.

I laughed so much. Good to hear though. Tbf if you're into pirate ship simulator you might like skull and bones and I have a friend who does.

Right and sink it will.

We both know that's not what he meant.
But I would assume being third party is key (since all that won it seemed to be), rather than what he really meant.
