Really necro ? :p The water is the only half decent looking thing in that video. Everything else is just the charming artistic presentation. Nothing to write home about.

I have gone through a couple of articles on the internet I think from Polygon and IGN praising the game (beta). Honestly, I dont know whats in the game that looks enjoyable as Janario pointed out this looks more like a F2P game.

[h=2]Rare unveils ‘running on a potato’ specs for Sea of Thieves[/h]



Rare is going overboard with performance recommendations for its upcoming nautical adventure, Sea of Thieves, including a promise that the Windows PC version of the game is designed to run even on underpowered rigs. You can also take the visual fidelity as high as you’d like, as evidenced by the spec sheet for the game provided by the studio.
But getting a game that looks this good to run on weaker systems had to have taken a lot of work.
“Our rendering team set themselves the goal early on of ‘how low can we go,’ sometimes also referred to fondly as ‘getting the game running on a potato,’ which is why we want to deliver a great version of the game even for those with computers below our official minimum spec,” wrote Ted Timmins, PC design lead at Rare, on the Sea of Thieveswebsite. “The game is perfectly playable at 540p, and one of the advantages of Xbox Play Anywhere is that if you own an Xbox One AND a low-spec laptop you can still take full advantage of it, and we absolutely encourage it!”
You can take a look at the various visual options for the game below, along with the hardware you would need to run the game at that level. Click on the image for a version at full resolution:
Rare/Microsoft Studios
This is a pretty detailed breakdown of how Sea of Thieves will look on a variety of systems, and it’s good to know that the game will scale well enough that just about any system will get a good experience. We’re looking forward to testing the full range of graphical options when Sea of Thieves launches on PC and Xbox One on March 20. In the meantime, check out our Arrful Squad video from the game’s beta last month.

Damn nice, looks fun. People who can't understand how is this enjoyable, maybe they haven't played Black Flag? where half of the time was spent in the seas, lol, and it was fun as hell.

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
