I saw someone describe it as Sea of Thieves 2 and I think that's probably a fair assessment, but instead of Destiny and The Division making new games, they've just integrated it into the base game so as not to split the player base. I'm miffed that all of the new milestones for pirates and ships aren't retroactive...but I've got some friends who are new to the game which will make going back through less of a schlep. Really enjoying the war scars of battle still being on Debbie when I get back into a play session, and the sovereigns are great too I agree, makes cashing in alot easier! Overall after a few months break I'm really enjoying being back on the seas, lots to catch up on and plenty to do! As always if you ever fancy doing a duo sloop let me know ☠️

What have you made of the new update so far?

@Hero-of-Time I don't play it as much as I did but I tend to keep dipping in and out now and then, although with this new update its reinvigorated me! Managed to get the gold hoarder course and solo to Athena Level 20 (the pirate legend rank) which was a hell of a grind, almost sucked the life out of it but worth doing (I guess 😂) I was mainly achievement hunting so when they said they were closing down arena not long after I got into that game mode and then didn't make it clear what was happening to the achievements, it left a really bad taste in my mouth (the achievements are now locked/unattainable but still count towards the gamer score, therefore you can't complete the game achievement wise now!) Still, the good ship "Debbie McGee" has taken its first voyage on the seas this weekend so will see where the wind takes her!

Alright negative nelly 😛 To be fair it's mainly used as a voice chat option or to organise a quick fire online game At the moment, it's just Glen and Mokong keeping it afloat talking Sunbreak builds and organising games etc 👍 Anyone is welcome to join, @WackerJr, but the main conversations about games etc always tend to be here, still!

Very meh showing for me, most of it was "I guess I'll play it anyway if it's on Gamepass". I will say this about most Xbox showcases; they just don't understand the concept of a megaton announcement in the way Nintendo do 🤷‍♂️

Started it last night...it's brilliant so far 😍 so simple yet so effective game design, and already finding it bloody difficult in places!

Did you get the message from Phil in yours? I cancelled mine in the end, what with Christmas coming up and kids presents to buy, and I also thought that as I'll eventually get a Series X, I'll have a new controller with that. That's what I'm telling myself anyway despite only wanting it for collectors purposes 😢 I know it was never going to happen in a million years with licensing issues, but the one 360 game that I managed to keep after my console was stolen all those moons ago has still managed to avoid backwards compatibility. 007 Bloodstone, the true 3rd Daniel Craig Bond film 😎

I mean, if they could make some weird app based system to swap saves between Wii U and 3DS on 3 Ultimate, surely this can't have been beyond them 🤷‍♂️ This game continues to be possibly my greatest disappointment in my long and storied gaming life 😂💔

Pre ordered mine on Thursday...quite possibly to sit in its box on my shelf for years to come 😎😂

There just has to be...HAS to be something Monster Hunter Rise related in here, G rank DLC or whatever, my NSO subscription for another year depends on it! (And at the moment the auto renew is off) Hopes are not high, but yet we can only dream

Is it just me, or have 343 Industries been terrible custodians of the Halo franchise? I feel like every one since 4 has either been a let down or some catastrophic bungling has happened (here's looking at you MCC's launch and first year or so). Every time Bonnie Ross walks out on stage at a MS conference, you might as well disregard what she's about to say 😂🤦‍♂️

in case anyone missed it who might be interested, or wants to watch it again like I had to 😂 I enjoy the original lore they've created themselves in SoT so my initial reaction was one of trepidation, but the more I've read up on it the more it sounds like this isn't just tagging it on, more like a proper integration. Either way new locales, enemies and Tall Tales makes this actually quite exciting. I'm sure I'll be playing it next week so you don't have to, anyway 😂☠️

Most of that was generic "look we have games and sequels for me", especially RedFall...can we not end on a game that is just a cutscene that has no gameplay at all? 🤷‍♂️ Having said that, it does make me happy to be in the Xbox ecosystem to see so many "day 1 Gamepass" games, which means I'll likely try some I wouldn't have before. Being a big Sea of Thieves fan, I was abit taken aback by the Pirates stuff, wasn't sure I liked it at first! Re watched that trailer though, and it's tall tales mainly (their take on a story mode) so I'll be really intrigued to see what they do with it. By the looks of the trailer, they've been testing different elements in the "Insider" version of the game individually as new enemies or weapons, without giving the game away as to what it was all coming together for! Overall I mean it's a good showing in generic gaming terms with a few touches here and there, should at least keep existing Xbox gamers happy. And my 75 year old dad who's been asking me about Flight Simulator for the last year, at this rate he'll be getting a Series X before me 😂
