  • As someone who's never played it but owns it, is it worthwhile jumping in this late?
  • Sure is! The game even has a new tutorial mission called The Maiden Voyage accessible from the main menu.
  • Of course! There's a whole lot of content now, and even then, it keeps improving.
  • I've not played really since launch, struggle to a crew and solo is tricky but still fun
    Really would love to jump in and get into it but it seems like I'm so far behind I worry I'll just get griefed the entire time while I'm learning the , ahem.... ropes.
  • The recent update now allows console users to opt out of cross-play with PC. The vast majority of griefers were PC users that had a different approach to playing the game.
