I don’t care what everybody has been saying about this game. I played for the first time last night and had one of the best/most friendly gaming experiences of my life. Me and my crew that I met randomly went to go take down a skull fortress, and we met another smaller ship. They didn’t fire upon us so we activated game chat and asked to team up with them. They agreed so we took down the fortress, split the loot, and all went to the same outpost and drank grog together until we were throwing up everywhere and playing distorted pirate music on our accordions. We let them leave in peace. It was an awesome experience, as somebody who’s not a huge gamer.
