    Pirates of the Black Cove

    I have to say, I agree a whole lot with both Thagarr and Stallion here. Most games that are published today are published in a less than perfect state -- lots of bugs, lots of issues, lots of features missing. Most MMOs are launched with the whole latter half of the game missing, hoping that...

    Pirates of the Black Cove

    So... You're saying that because people have stopped complaining, it's not because we've fixed the issues, but because they've given up? That's... an interesting point of view all right. I'm not sure I agree with it, though :) No, don't worry, you've explained yourself just fine. And it's a...

    You're eligible all right. Just like the Facebook posts, that's all it takes :)

    Pirates of the Black Cove

    Oh yes, we totally suck when it comes to letting people know that "Hey, there're a bunch of patches that make the game work like it should!" No way around that :) But, let's not dwell on bitter things, for Gamescom 2011 is here! And what better way to celebrate one of the hottest gaming events...

    Pirates of the Black Cove

    Well,... No :P But the three patches do fix a bucketload of problems, that's for sure. What they won't do is fix the Appeal Factor -- either the game's cartoony and cavalier approach to the life of an arcade pirate hero is appealing, or it isn't. Some people like the utter lack of realism and...

    Pirates of the Black Cove

    More reviews! The Examiner found the pirate life to be especially alluring: ”undeniably very fun, frequently amusing, and even a little addictive” http://www.examiner.com/pc-game-in-national/pirates-of-black-cove-review Ironhammers had difficulties grasping the amoral lifestyle of greedy...

    Pirates of the Black Cove

    On this, I readily concur. I mailed my superiors about these grievances (which, I think, are entirely valid) -- hopefully the flow of information gets fixed. I also asked if we could get the patches up on the sites proper, as well as delivering the files to mirror sites, e.g. Patches Scrolls...

    Six more reviews! Destructoid finds that “the entire game has a certain charm to it”, giving our baby 7/10! http://www.destructoid.com/review-pirates-of-black-cove-207947.phtml Gamereactor deemed our laid back epic spectacle worthy of a 8/10: “Mighty entertaining and colorful adventure”...

    Pirates of the Black Cove

    Hey guys, A lot of things to answer (for), in no particular order: Bad reviews? Really? Because I've been scouring the net for the better part of last week, and a clear majority gives us 6-8 out of 10. So far I've found only two bad reviews: both GameSpot and A.V. Club gave us a negative score...

    Pirates of the Black Cove

    Five more reviews surface! GameFront graces us with a 7/10 score: ”If there’s two things that Pirates of Black Cove can be relied on to provide, its the small, clever touches, and cheesy, broad Pirate humor. ” BeefJack.com found us worthy of a 7/10 score: ” Nitro Games took up the reigns and...

    Pirates of the Black Cove

    IGN hasn't reviewed Pirates of Black Cove yet, but that doesn't mean that they won't. I'll keep monitoring the situation, believe me :) In the meantime, here's couple of other reviews: Strategy Informer gives PoBC 7.5/10! "Pirates of Black Cove is a very endearing game. Its playful nature, its...

    Pirates of the Black Cove

    The day is upon us, brethren! Pirates of Black Cove will be released tomorrow! That means today is the last day you can preorder Pirates of Black Cove, and you should indeed do so, for you will get a free copy of Woody Two-Legs: Attack of the Zombie Pirates as a bonus gift! PoBC has a price tag...

    Pirates of the Black Cove

    Sort of. The game has a function where you can pimp out your ship's appearance. Doesn't go deeper than that, though -- there's no full fledged editor included or anything like that for advanced customizing, sorry.

    Pirates of the Black Cove

    This week's movie classic doesn't cover just one movie but rather two quite different adaptations of the same story. Mutiny on the Bounty is a real event in 1789, where the crew of H.M.S. Bounty rose to mutiny. The stories of both presented movies revolves around the two men, the captain and his...
