No doom and gloom article can make a game a failure. I don´t even bother with those anymore.
I can´t really remember an Xbox first party game that drew so much negativity than Sea of Thieves (Halo Infinite a close second), when we had articles just like this one predicting it would be a massive failure and MS would shut down the servers in less than 6 months. And here we are. 5 years later and SoT turn out to be a huge success.
That said, as an Xbox Series X owner, I´m disappointed with the 30fps cap myself, but the reality is that most gamers would prefer quality over performance for most games in cases that you can only chose one over another.
I´d really love the settings, characters, world, atmosphere, combat and exploration focus in this game. But I´ll return to it in a later date once the 60fps patch is out.
Hopefully all this backlash that Arkane is getting will turn out into something positive in the future for them and every gaming studio as whole.
