Logan: That was honestly one of the funniest parts of this demo to me. Throwing your crewmates into a cannon and shooting them either onto an enemy ship or onto land is a nice little Rare-like touch to _ Sea of Thieves PvP guide|https://seaofthievespedia.com/ of Thieves _ . Of course, because I was the one launching everyone out of the cannons, that meant that I had to swim to the island by mys
While the closed beta only features sharks and skeletons as AI-controlled enemies, the datamine reveals a wider variety of enemies and creatures, some of which have already been featured in trailers for the game . The data implies that the full game will feature bats, chickens, fish, parrots, pigs, seagulls, sharks, and snakes. It’s not currently known if parrots will be tamable, allowing pirates to mount a feathered companion on their shoulders as they guzzle down some grog. The datamine also reveals that mermaids will not always be friendly like they are in the beta, and that the Kraken will wrap its tentacles around the ship in a manner which will likely require the crew to work together quickly in order to surv
It’s worth noting that while the datamine does reveal plenty of content that players haven’t been able to experience for themselves just yet, it doesn’t provide the full picture of what Sea of Thieves will bring to the table once it releases. The closed beta for Windows 10 and Xbox One users has been extended for another two days , so potential pirates still have ample time to ride the high seas to discover if the game matches their met
Despite experiencing a “rough” development process , Crackdown 3 ’s development finally seems on track for a 2017 release. The game’s explosive nature will rival that of Just Cause 3 , and finally give Crackdown fans the open-world sequel they’ve been begging for since the release of Crackdown 2 back in 2
With the recent release of the Xbox One S, and the impending launch of Project Scorpio, Xbox fans have plenty to look forward to this year. Additionally, with Microsoft “very focused” on first-party titles , it seems Xbox is giving gamers plenty of reason to pay attent
At the upcoming E3 event, Phil Spencer and the rest of the Xbox crew are planning to give plenty of stage time to the games coming for the Microsoft console. And while not every game coming out this year has yet been revealed, there are plenty that have already been announced and are set to arrive in the coming months. In that vein, here are five Xbox One exclusives on the horizon that look poised for succ
At one point the open world crime genre was packed with titles, but since then most have cleared the way for Grand Theft Auto . Mafia 3 , however, is trying to stake its claim on the genre with a unique setting, a unique main character, and some clever mob mechanics. Set in a city not unlike New Orleans, Mafia 3 has players taking control of Lincoln Clay , an African American vet who is trying to build up his own mafia in order to take down a rival mob. While the Mafia games have always explored the management aspect to building up a squad of loyal enforcers, Mafia 3 makes it feel like you are really developing your own ma
Like many titles announced in the last few years, Crackdown 3 has experienced numerous delays, with the latest information saying the game will release later this year, with Project Scorpio support . That said, player excitement for the massively destructive action game has waned very little, if at all, since the game was revea
Although it could have easily closed the show and generated the same amount of response, God of War kicked off Sony’s E3 Press Conference and set a specific tone. Seeing Kratos bearded and with a son helped draw players in, and the direction and gameplay reinforced that this wasn’t going to be the same God of War that fans know and love. But more than anything, the demo was compelling in all the right ways. It looked great, had interesting gameplay, and teased just enough of the story to leave fans wanting m
Finally, there’s State of Decay 2 , the sequel to Undead Labs’ smash hit State of Decay . Like its predecessor, State of Decay 2 will throw players into a world full of zombies and task them with making it to the end with a group of struggling survivors. And of course there will be permadea
Battlefield 1 delivers exactly what the fans wanted, the familiar multiplayer combat of DICE’s FPS series, but set in World War 1 . From the sights and sounds, to the weapons and vehicles, Battlefield 1 presents the time period as best it can without veering too far away from the franchise’s identity. And with 64-player multiplayer at E3 2016 it was hard not to come away excited to see m
Tomas: Fortunately I stopped and Azario was able to get back on the ship after about a minute of swimming, and we continued our voyage to the island. It was smooth sailing (pun intended) from there. Once we reached the island, I had someone shoot me out of a cannon onto the isl
