Xbox One's 'Sea Of Thieves' Is No More Than 10% Of A Finished Game

Sea of Thieves has a whole ocean to explore, but it feels an inch deep after just a few hours of play. It's an unfinished title and players deserve better.

[Abash]

I agree, I have it on Game Pass and keep thinking "what the hell was Rare doing all these years" as I play. Hardly any content and the game feels empty

[-Foxtrot]

Exactly...that long development and that’s all they have

Even the delay...what were these guys doing

Banjo Threeie, Conker 2...hell even a Grabbed by the Ghoulies sequel I would have rather had.

[Gamist2dot0]

"Even the delay...what were these guys doing"

Making the best water effects on the planet.

[-Foxtrot]

@Gamist2dot0

Basically....

[_-EDMIX-_]

I'm still puzzled that Microsoft never made Conker's Bad Fur Day 2 even with the property very much being in the demographic of the hardcore market like they were aiming for all the way back in 2005.

[-Foxtrot]

EDMIX

Well they were going to Conkers Other Bad Fury Day along with Perfect Dark 2 and Kameo 2 but when Phil Spencer was head of first party studios he cancelled them...I think it was in favour of Kinect Sports and the like,

I don't understand why you'd make a game so ambitious like this when you are trying to get back to the good old glory days. Surely a sequel to a much loved old IP like Conker, Banjo or Kameo would be better to put you on the map rather then something like this.

The online focus it has feels like something Microsoft may have pushed onto them, after all this is the company who tried to force co-op on Scalebound before they cancelled it.

[IamTylerDurden1]

It's odd that the game is so empty but in a game with no character progression and the only incentive being cosmetics how can there be a severe lack of cosmetics? Maybe Sea o Thieves will improve but right now it doesn't seem to be worth $60.

[Rachel_Alucard]

The closed Alpha from 2 years ago is the same as the beta from a month ago except now it has cosmetics and the sloop. Its embarassing to think what they were working on this whole time. I've seen new games come out and get sequels in the time they spent working on this the past 3 years. Yet somehow they still managed to make a mile wide puddle deep experience, blows my mind how hard everyone running the show struggles to create.

[Araragifeels]

This is the "No Man Sky" of Xbox. I was excited for the game since it look fun but if is really empty then there no point.

[windblowsagain]

Lmao @ the image.

[bouzebbal]

and they dare to say that this is the best game rare has ever made.
This is a pure insult to the really legendary rare games where each one was a masterpiece.

i think some feathers will fall within xbox in the next few months.. mark my words...

[IamTylerDurden1]

Not a good month for xbox. The xb1 loses NPD again and Sea of Thieves has worse review scores than No Man's Sky. To make matters worse Ni No Kuni II is an 88 Open Critic and God of War looks unbelievable. Damn..

[ProjectVulcan]

Sinking without trace. As I predicted a couple months ago after playing the beta.

[maybelovehate]

Just curious but what game has more quests and a bigger map than Sea of Thieves? And as far as feeling empty, do you mean the ocean? Although even then I don't agree. We were constantly calling out sunken ships and barrel stashes during the journey's, not to mention constantly altering the sails and working around storms and trying to spot other pirates and Skulls.

[Phoenix76]

@maybelovehate
Just curious but what game has more quests and a bigger map than Sea of Thieves?

Have you played elite dangerous?

[AspiringProGenji]

Why does the map size matters when the game is so barebones? No man’s sky actually have bigger mals and did that matter at all?

You could say Monster Hunter has way more quests with smalle maps but at least you always have reason to do them and there’s progression unlike this game from what I have heard and seen

[maybelovehate]

@Phoenix76: Elite Dangerous is a good one. Huge game. Good call. Sea of Thieves isn't at that scale but still huge in its own right.

[maybelovehate]

@AspiringProGenji: Come on lol.. I love Monster Hunter World, but let's be serious. Investigations are just another word for repeating the same quest.

[Christopher]

***Come on lol.. I love Monster Hunter World, but let's be serious. Investigations are just another word for repeating the same quest.***

And fetching one thing or another to take back to the base isn't?

I get you like the game, but I think you're ignoring design issues just because if it. I love me some Far Cry, getting 5 day one, but I'm not ignorant of its design flaws. I still enjoy the game.

[maybelovehate]

@Christopher: The biggest difference is that there are unique puzzles tied to almost every treasure quest. And as you get higher in rank the more in depth the puzzles get. These aren't all just simple fetch quests. You should try the game, it isn't what you seem to think it is.

[Aura7541]

The quantity of quests and map size are not indicative of the game's quality. What matters more is the variety of quests and density of activity in the map. You should watch Jim Sterling's video on the Yakuza series. The map in those games are small, but it doesn't matter because the amount of activity is dense and the quests can range from serious to extremely goofy.

[maybelovehate]

@Aura7541: good point. Not only does Sea of Thieves have tons of quests but the puzzles keep them unique and interesting.

[Christopher]

***The biggest difference is that there are unique puzzles tied to almost every treasure quest. ***

They're not unique. They are mostly solved using the same methods and they repeat.

I have played the game. I understand it's not for me, I understand people who like things like Rust will like this, I also understand it's got design issues that will turn people off quickly.

[maybelovehate]

@Christopher: "They are mostly solved using the same methods" So you mean it is like very game ever made? They are unique as you progress. Or least least so far they are.

[Christopher]

***"They are mostly solved using the same methods" So you mean it is like very game ever made? They are unique as you progress. Or least least so far they are.***

Yeah, for many games that's the majority of quest content when it's online or even as side quests in single player games (AC Origins had this). If you want tailored, unique content then you need a game with specifically designed content throughout. But oftentimes those games have more than a few types of quest types and a much wider variety of enemies and scenarios (like Far Cry, but even that have series gets lambasted for repetitiveness and it has a lot more different types of content than SoT).

Please look up the word unique.

[IamTylerDurden1]

Who cares how big the map is when it's empty? Who cares how many quests there are when they are all fetch quests?

[darthv72]

It really is amazing that those who call the game empty dont seem to realize that is what the 7 seas is like when you really sail them. Sailing the ocean blue isnt like riding down the hood in GTAV.

The real oceans (that the devs used as a basis) are empty and very large and open. If you want to see more pirates then it needs more players.

[sprinterboy]

Assassins creed Black flag is a better sea pirate game with quest

[morganfell]

"It really is amazing that those who call the game empty dont seem to realize that is what the 7 seas is like when you really sail them."

Does this include the realistic time it takes to sail them under wind power? No? Why not? What about your health suffering? Scurvy? The rickets?

Getting shot one time in a war and dying forever is real but you do not see that as the norm in most FPS titles because most developers know that realism in certain areas is boring, or frustrating, or simply lacks entertainment value. I do not think Sea of Thieves is a game you should attempt to defend by throwing down the realism gauntlet in one area when other parts lack that same realism. Developers do not always nail when to temper realism.

This doesn't mean you do not like the game. Only you can decide that fact. Conversely you do not get to decide for other people if the game is over stuffed with features or severely lacking.

Not everyone want to just sail and stare at the water. I remember being over at Subsim.com on Neal's site and one of the regular board members decided to play Silent Hunter 5 with full realism. No time compression, no shortcuts. All real time. He was posting a log for us. By day 3 or 4 his entries became non-sensical as he started to drift from lack of sleep and deprivation delirium. He didn't make it too far. Not fun.

[Dark_Knightmare2]

Bro you've been defending this game hard give it up the game has a lack of content there's no denying that. You wanted games named that had a bigger map and more quests than sot well lets see witcher 3 and elder scrolls online are just two off the top of my head and there's plenty more out there.

[Kyizen]

The issue is content. If you get a quest to kill 2 skeletons the next quest shouldnt be go kill 4 skeletons...

[Helios86]

Right investigations are repeat quests, and picking up a chest and giving it to some soulless NPC is not repetition?

Atleast in Monster Hunter the actual hunt has some substance. Honestly though if you enjoy playing the UPS simulator go ahead, just don't pretend like Monster Hunter is anywhere near as shallow. Hell Black Flag had more content than Sea of Thieves.

[Relientk77]

Rare worked on this game for so long

Like what happened...

[_-EDMIX-_]

Exactly I'm not sure exactly what was going on after this is just sad if this is their best work this team is just pretty much dead.

[princejb134]

is rare dude. When was the last time rare actually did a good game? conkers bad fur day , kameo, banjo kazzoie n64

[firelogic]

That's why it's on Game Pass and not being sold for $70. They knew they couldn't sell it on its own.

[UnHoly_One]

They sold it to me, and I'm happy with my purchase.

[YOUDIEMOFO]

Not at all the start of/for this game I was looking for....! DAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!!!!!

[Sayai jin]

I got it on game pass...need to give it a go.

Why is this labeled as news and not opinion...hmmm. Could be true, but it's still opinion.

[trooper_]

Rare is a shell of its former glory.

[Cyborgg]

They were sitting on their a$$ getting free money

[warriorcase]

same. I was a tester since early alpha and was initially worried about the amount of content but brushed it off as "it's just an alpha, more content will come in time I guess". Then came the beta's, then the final test week and then comes launch day and was shocked to see how little more had been added.
The graphics are great and sailing very fun but the hand to hand combat is so lackluster consisting of a 3 swing combo and that's it. The progression system, which consists of leveling up your traders to unlock cosmetic only items and the next rank of missions of which are just 3 types of fetch quests. You can sail out onto the high seas to kill some skeletons to bring back a skull to port, or fetch a pig to deliver to a port, or find a treasure chest and bring it back to port, that's the options you have and the rank ups just make amount of fetch or rarity of the fetch rarer which in turn give more gold for more cosmetic items.

The game has incredible potential for the future in what can be added but at the moment is no where near the full asking price. As it stands the game can be a lot of fun but is ultimately in its current state as vast as an ocean but as shallow as a puddle.

[Wolfyseyes]

They were thinking "Freeform consequences-free PvP will replace actually creating content. Good enough. Ship it."

[mcstorm]

Soo what people sound like is I've not played the game but the reviews and videos I've seen means the game is pants. Come on people play it your selfs to see what it's like rather than read about it.

[subtenko]

Thats what I thought from only a few minutes of the beta gameplay on youtube. I was thinkig its gonna be bear bones isnt it?

Sea of Thieves is bare bones.

Skull and Bones... Beats... Bare Bones!! o.o

[Brash]

"It’s The Division where the entire map is the Dark Zone, and it makes it incredibly hard for players to enjoy what little PvE content there is in peace."

Just wow. I don't need that in my life.

[maybelovehate]

This just isn't the case though. Sea of Thieves map is huge. When you come across other players there is usually 1 of 2 mindsets.. We have treasure, let's lose them or be sneaky so they don't see us in the first place by spotting them first.. Or we don't have much treasure, let's hunt them and see what they have. The thing is though, if the other pirates are on their toes and spot us first, they will definitely get away if they really want to. And at least get their good treasure offloaded. The only time you will be in real trouble is if your team failed to keep a good lookout.

[OffRoadKing]

Nah, the dark zone was just a place for griefing and a lot of people didn't care for it.

[letsa_go]

1 Upvote, 39 downvotes. Looks like you got an unpopular opinion there, buddy!

[zb1ftw777]

One of the reasons I dislike most sandbox games is big maps... With no content in them.

And by content I mean story and meaning. Not grind and fetch and repeat quests.

[OffRoadKing]

Funny you mention that, when I heard about the whole thieving from other players thing I immediately thought of the Dark Zone in The Division and how much that feature was detested.

[maybelovehate]

The Dark Zone wasnt' detested. It was just all the bugs and exploits people used in the Dark Zone. It was an amazing concept ruined by rampant cheaters.

[Avengerz43]

Lol I made the exact comparison yesterday to the DZ in division when that game released. That game was cancer worst $100 I ever spent on a game and it taught me the lesson to never buy a season pass ever again.

[warriorcase]

I can see this argument. I would argue the dark zone actually had more to offer with rare loot drops to find, but I see the comparison. For example, last night Me and my friend went past some friendly players then decided to chase them down and sink them purely because as it is now that is the best thing to do in the game for the most enjoyment with nothing better else to do.

[chrisx]

I'm glad this has been clearly stated...a friend of mine told me the exact same thing and I confirmed myself. the game rly feels bland.

[Gaming4Life1981]

Damn now that's bad.

[zackeroniii]

its microsoft idk what some people were expecting. maybe they were fooled by the cute graphics.

[Servbot41]

This is Microsoft's big attempt to make the game pass worthwhile, that's it. "Look, we are giving you AAA first-party exclusive $60 games!"

No mention of the fact that the game is barely worth $20 in its current state. Shame that this had to be the game to push Gamepass, as all the money clearly went to pre-release astroturfing rather than content development.

[Lokii]

I have to agree. I'm having more fun with assassin's creed rogue remastered

[Dark_Knightmare2]

I'm playing that too and coming off origins I'll admit it was hard to get used to the controls and whatnot but damn if it's not fun especially the ship combat which never gets old

[Lokii]

Same with me. Also hunting assassin's in new York is fun.

[Artemidorus]

I have to admit I did see a retail verison and it did look very basic but fun at the same time.

Reminds me of GTA IV when it first came out as a multiplayer, not much to do so people created ideas and it trended.

[Dragonscale]

The game should be ftp. There are actually better ftp games than sot such as Warframe tbh.

[G20WLY]

I've said the same thing. FTP would fit this game well and is the only way a lack of content is acceptable on launch.

It's disgusting to charge $60 for this at retail.

[rainslacker]

I've been saying for a couple of years that this game seems more like a F2P game than a full priced MMO.

I don't consider F2P bad though. But when a company charges for it, then I tend to be harder on the game. I'm more disappointed if the current reviews stay about where this one comes in though. I wanted MS to have a hit here, because this game was something unique, and I fell MS needs more of that.

[zivtheawesome]

i just don't get it. 5 YEARS of development. 200 Workers and yet this isn't even a game.

[zeuanimals]

Probably changed direction and probably was working on different games that fell through before settling on SoT.

[zivtheawesome]

going by wikipedia the development of SoT has started in 2014 so 4 years. still doesn't answer how companies with the same dev time and much smaller size creates much bigger games with much less budget.

[thornh]

I expect a full Skull & Bones reveal from Ubisoft at E3 this year. Let's hope they learned plenty of lessons from For Honor and make a killer pirate game. Hopefully Rare will actually add some more worthwhile content and make Sea of Thieves a viable experience. Considering it's only a PvP experience though they don't have much time before everyone just goes back to PUBG or Fortnite.

[YOUDIEMOFO]

Sad......., so sad it almost hurts......

[frostypants]

That settles it. My fears were apparently justified. I'll grab this when it's on sale for $20.

Why is making a good pirate game so hard?!

[DarkVoyager]

“Why is making a good pirate game so hard?!”

Assasins Creed: Black Flag was great. If you consider it a pirate game. It had ships and was set in the Caribbean.

[frostypants]

Yeah, my problem is I just don't like Assassin's Creed games.

[DarkVoyager]

“Yeah, my problem is I just don't like Assassin's Creed games.”

Honestly, I’m the same. Black Flag was the only Assassin’s Creed game I ever liked.

[frostypants]

Hmmm. Maybe I'll give it a shot then. Can't complain about the price...

[Phoenix76]

I miss Sid Meier's "Pirates" game now

[cfc83]

I'll have a better idea of how the game is once people stop putting me in the brig for no reason

[KickSpinFilter]

Yikes... harsh.

[mynd]

Same guy wrote.... https://www.forbes.com/site...

So um...yeah....

And this...

https://www.forbes.com/site...

In fact he wrote this about a game he compares it too..
https://www.forbes.com/site...

Yes, it’s the biggest gaming “cautionary tale” of 2016, but despite the game’s (many) flaws, I’ve always been something of an apologist for it. Yes, the game lacks depth and certain features that were promised, but what is there is still pretty cool, and I really quite enjoyed the game’s first major “Foundation” update, which added freighters, base-building and farming last year.

So Paul, your the biggest fucking hypocrite in gaming journalism, and quite clearly biased, I frankly dont think you can validate any position you take on a game. You're a joke.

[Legacy212]

This guy is a joke all his articles are whiney. He literally hates on all things Xbox

[Dark_Knightmare2]

I thought he hated all things Sony so which is it? Oh I get it you're a fanboy and mad because he crapped on a game you were looking forward to thats cool smh

[showtimefolks]

Welcome to GAAS where it took division 2 years to get good, where destiny 2 launched in worst state than destiny 1 and where every publisher will launch early access games at full price only to maybe fix them later

And let's not forget the most important gamers favorite feature MT and loot boxes

Some of Xbox fanboys can't wait for GAAS and they rather play this than actually finished games

Instead of standing up against these sort of practices we are praising a developer like massive for fixing their broken game. True next generation gaming where launch during game testing phase and let those who buy day one be the game testers and you don't even have pay game testers

Amazing experiences but only after a year or 2 after launch so developers could actually patch the game

[cfc83]

Further update. After getting put in the brig for no reason, i started a 2nd game. On joining i got put in the brig on the basis 'he doesn't deserve any money we've got'. Two games, two brigs. I'll try again.

[MarineLineman]

Game was announced back in 2015. One of the best devs in gaming at point. What a shame..,

[UnHoly_One]

"Sea of Thieves requires you to have entertaining friends, or else it is incredibly difficult to have fun at all."

Good thing I have friends, I guess.

Sad that so many people don't.

[rainslacker]

I have friends too. I'm the most entertaining of all of them. Since I'm dreadfully dull, I can't imagine I'd have fun in this game.:)

[UnHoly_One]

Well that sounds depressing.

[BadElf]

I have been getting berated online for stating my worries about this game. These worries exactly....and they are true. Its fun as all hell, but that will only last for maybe 2, 3 weeks tops? Needs content NOW

[Legacy212]

This guy from Forbes is such a whiner just look at his destiny articles or any of his articles all he does is b**** about everything

[ShadowWolf712]

And yet, his concerns and complaints are mirrored by many others, almost exactly.

[Brave_Losers_Unite]

Oh look another Microsoft smoke and mirrors ploy

[DigitalRaptor]

Microsoft, Microsoft, Microsoft...

In development for 4+ years with a AAA team of 200 people... and this is the result?

This is a greater case of mismanagement than Fable Legends. They might as well have canceled this game.

[antikbaka]

As usual it appeared all those claims that "wait for finished game they only show us beta" are naive. Although why should i care... not my game anyway

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Rare is done

[Sirk7x]

They were done a long time ago; Why do you think Nintendo decided to pass on buying them outright?

[ShadowWolf712]

Because Miyamoto was a jealous ass who was always frequently dissing them?

[Sm00thNinja]

Yeah shipping mine back to Amazon. Shame that RARE is just a name these days

[authentic]

RIP

[time2die]

Rare died many years ago especially when the brothers left and Microsoft bought them out, they have to be the pain in Microsoft arse and they are living of there early games such as ,Perfect Dark,Goldeneye,jet set gemini to name a few when Rare was a top developer, sadly they are a shadow of the former self and not a patch on others such as Rockstar,Naughty Dog.

[glennhkboy]

This remind me of the Evolve fiasco. Same blind faith on game mechanic, blind faith on the so-call "player generate experience", too much "to-be-released-in-the coming-future" contents, unplayable solo experience.

Why don't Rare learn the (somewhat) success The Division? Division had an engaging story, solo-playable (up to level 20). Just compare the sales of The Division & Evolve.

[ShadowWolf712]

The Division didn't sell on quality, it sold on the Tom Clancy name. Took that game almost a year to get decent, according to most.

[glennhkboy]

My point is: Division sold way better than Evolve. While Evolve is extincted, Division is still going. I played the Division from the start. It is quite good at the initial stages, for a lone player like myself. If SoT want to have a fighting chance, it should learn from the Division instead of Evolve. Have more content, especially solo playable content. Have a meaningful upgrade path. If the initial content doesn't attract players, it will not survive to the next quarter.

[ILostMyMind]

f2p

[MatriXcian]

I said all this before release the game is devoid of content and repetitive as hell. I hate to say I told ya so but I told ya so.

[Da12RespectA]

I'm enjoying it

[Pantz]

Looks like Over 1 Million players already disagree with this clickbait. How do you even experience 10% of this massive game in less than a day.

[authentic]

Already bored within an hour. Thank you game pass free trial for saving me $60.

[Last_Boss]

I guess the ESRB will be looking for the little black box in this wreckage.

[LgbtWarrior]

Rare lost their magic years ago. I liked kameo, but honestly star fox adventures was the last true rare game that had that “magic” rare used to have. The two main guys quit and a lot of people left the company it’s just not the same

[RabbitFly]

Sea of Thieves was always doomed to be a misunderstood game. Microsofts lack of big exclusives gave it much more focus than what it should have had, and probably more than rare wanted.

The game was always made more in the vein of sandbox than triple-A. Think ARK. However, even in that market it is lacking some very fundamental things.

The lack of any meaningful progression kills the game outright. Lack of content is one thing, but as long as you provide a reason to grind people will always show up. Cosmetics just doesn't cut it.

The game should have had a crafting system in it's base. Made the exploration more survival based and given it's players the ability to build bases and ships themselves.

[zerocarnage]

I can't help think that with all the passed games that have come out like this and no one has even bothered to say anything, that because it's a Microsoft title, people will jump on a band wagon over something that is all happening way to often now.

I mean games coming out unfinished, has been a normality for some time now and it's not nothing new.

The game is good, could it be better sure like every other game there is always things that can be better.

What do I see as the most important part of game development now, and that is a question I can easily answer to myself, which is the most important part of game development is the final product. It mite take a few years to get there for alot of these multiplayer games, but they are totally different to when they first arrived on release.

Games now arrive with next to no content when multiplayer is involved, this is what an industry that charges all for nothing looks like, just like football before the 90's, players would play the game without earning millions, then the boom happened and the English leagues went with crazy signing (david Beckham being one of the first) now it's none stop with multi million pound contract signing and that's now what is happening in our gaming industry a premiership style of publishers and developers making sure games get made for top profit yet not no where near the standards the fans deserve.

But we as fans help made the mess gaming is now in in regards to pricing, micros, loot boxes. You all wanted the best devs by your console without little thought that they would have to earn your fan loyalty. Now many are no longer in gaming for the love but for the money you kept throwing at them and it's mainly our fault as to why games are released unfinished to keep you playing years down the line till they are finished.

But again, to the rite multiplayer group, sea of thieves has enough content to keep them going for a while, the real question is are the developers as good as say fortnites devs at bringing content quickly, say weekly down the lines, because epic are damn good at that and that's what devs need to learn when bringing games out that need content injected quick enough to see fans excited and keep them playing.

[patterson]

Welcome to the world of Games As A Service

[Tobse]

Well worth the free gamepass trial

[MasterCornholio]

In other words it's worth nothing.

That's not a positive thing to say about the game.

[pinkcrocodile75]

OK how about this, I've been playing the game with my lads and we have had a right laugh, lots to do and it's very funny. Take a bit of tie to get the hang of it but your first battle is brilliant.

Good enough?

[Tobse]

Thanks for the Observation sherlock

[Doughhead]

i'll disagree, game is a lot of fun on a team

[Orionsangel]

Supposed ex-developer on the game chimes in...

https://twitter.com/FeyBoop...

[Solo_88]

Glad I didn't buy it day one. Was really looking forward to playing this with my wife and brothers. Doesn't make sense why it took them so long to make what they did thus far. I've been reading and other people say its just a bunch of go here, get this, bring it back quests. Also, progression needs to go beyond cosmetic.

[IamTylerDurden1]

If you want some insight on why Sea of Thieves was such a disaster read this interview.

https://stevivor.com/news/f...

[talocaca]

Seems like this could be the game that will finally close Rare.

It is sad, but Microsoft has a history of buying Studios only to let them die.

[windblowsagain]

https://imgur.com/a/WNRdQ

[dunnyone]

Well, it's free on Game Pass. If I get bored, I guess I'll stop playing? No harm, no foul.

[Clunkyd]

Microsoft isn't about the quantity, they're all about low-quality games. lol

[kangolkyle]

That's about it for Microsoft then. They really needed this to drum up some positive news coverage. What else is coming out for them this year?

[QUIMICOMORTAL]

hmm, who could have seen this comming?

oh, yeah! I did!

[LandoCalrissiano]

Yeah, so is minecraft. It's a sandbox game, not a jungle gym game.

[Smclaren1985]

I was thinking about trying the game but I can’t actually believe how many times I keep hearing the same thing that the game does t have a lot of content. It’s sad to hear because it could have been something new and fresh but as per in the gaming industry it looks like it’s falling short. According to my friend all they have added since the beta is chickens and snakes .

[RAM0N]

I got bored just by watching some gameplay

[THRASHMOUTH]

No Man's Sea

[Dogsuferer24]

This is spot on. Exactly how I feel about the game.

[CrimsonWing69]

I never could get into the hype for this game. With Ni No Kuni 2, Yakuza 6, and God of War coming out soon I wouldn't have put much time into it anyways.

[Vectrexer]

I'm afraid I agree although I haven't played this game it's always seemed like it wasn't complete. If they would have included a deep immersive separate single player campaign then I think it would have been much more well-received
