My only argument is this game will be dead and barren a month after release. I hope i'm wrong.

What they should do is have all of the countries (at the time) at war with each other. Spain, France, and England. This would give you a reason to sink ships that are flying one or both of the opposing colors. And, that way the bounty can go up on you, if you are successful at sinking the enemy ships. Also, this gives other people a reason to want to put you down, instead of shits and giggles. BTW, I'm not just simply pulling this outta my ass, it was this way in Sid Meir's Pirates!
Although, I'm not entirely sure that would be historically accurate.

But they did it in Battlefield, how come they can't do it here? (well, not really a 180, but still...)

I can’t take my wife to the movies for less than 30 bucks. That’s typically an hour and a half of entertainment. This doesn’t look like a game I’ll play for years but my low estimate is 10 hours worth of laughing with friends. I imagine it will end up being more than that though.
Hopefully they add more but whatever if they don’t. It definitely seems like 60 dollars well spent to me.

I still love that the alien munitions are Battleship pegs.
I enjoyed watching the bulk of Summit's hijinx, I'll try this out via Gamepass on release but not expecting to play it much.
Fuck ya"ll, I'm having fun
On a serious note, hope they do have some meaningful type of character progression. If I can get about 15 to 20 hours of fun and laughs with a few friends of mine then it's worth the $60 to me. Freaking cost me at minimum $25 to see a movie with me and the wife and that's at most 2 hours of entertainment

There's the treasure hunting that's in the beta, then basically "grocery shopping" missions (collect planks, cannon balls, random animals), then the raids.
Multiple ships or crews will eventually be required to defeat higher ranked named mobs, but friendly fire will still be a thing between the two groups.

Random events will also happen, but haven't been completely defined. The Kraken is the first obvious one. There will be a harpoon, so I imaging hunting sharks or white whales may be a thing.

I use to compare video game entertainment hours to other entertainment hours too, then I realized how retarded I was being. It's just not the same comparison and dollars spent vs time played on video games should be compared to other dollars spent / time played on other games.
I mean, how useful is it for me to bring up that I spent three grand for a week vacation ($17 an hour even counting time i'm asleep)? By that logic spending $500 on a game I think i'll play more than a week is a sound purchasing decision.

$60 is good for 60 hours for me. Of which I have 30 into this game after a single weekend. And I've put more than $200 into Heroes of the Storm and I don't even play that game that often. WOW I spend $15/mo and get <24 hours.
It's still a dumb comparison regardless, if you don't think you'll like the game, fine. Don't buy it. Must be pretty bored to post in a thread about a game you're not interested in playing.

I saw Giant Bomb playing this earlier, it looked entertaining to fuck around with for a little bit but seeing it on screen made me feel sick after about 20 minutes...

Nothing is going to compare perfectly but bringing up a vacation with airfare, possible vehicle rentals/insurance, hotels, food, etc is just hyperbole.
Obviously the best comparison is videogame versus videogame but I think other reasonable references are still valid (and not "retarded").

You can play solo, and the smaller ships are faster, and a fuck load easier to manuever, but without pvp the game is relegated to a high definition mobile game.
