The juxtaposition of their bouncing off Sea of Thieves then Ben's disappointment that the numbers stop getting bigger at some point in Vermintide was just perfect.
Sea of Thieves most certainly has it's problems but I do know I'm getting tired of games that just try to keep you engaged in doing the same thing by giving an illusion of progress through numbers. I played L4D 1 and 2 for bloody days without the need to feel I was achieving anything because the act of playing it was still fun.
*this is more a criticism of the skinner box of a lot of games than a "defence" of SoT, only played it for a couple of hours and it most certainly has problems but does stand out because it's such a departure from what has become the norm*
