    90% average review vs. this forum

    I am curious in that most posts in this forum have been very negative about this game. However most reviews have been positive. I am begining to think that either we are too picky, or the professional reviewers did not play the game long enough. Perhaps we were all expecting so much more...

    This game blows!

    Ok now WAIT A MINUTE! Why am I getting hassle for telling a poster that I dont want him around here anymore (which technically why would he continue to post on a board about a game he hates except to troll)? I mean he makes a post that goes like this: "This game blows! OMG this game sucks...

    This game blows!

    lapdog27: Good. Then perhaps this means we wont see you on this board anymore?

    Flashy exterior on an otherwise dull game?

    I am the one who made the comment about Diablo being repetative. Why? Well, although a constant search for new items can be addictive, it's just a flashy, artificial way to stimulate depth that is not there. Pirates is fun and easy to play. I work all day and dont want to come home and do...

    Is the swordplay ridiculously easy for everyone else too?

    jpinard: Did you really need to post this on all the Pirates! related websites?

    ATI and NVIDA shaders a question and/or challenge

    There are 4 water settings right? Remember, when you slide it all the way to left it counts as zero in the config file. So with 4 water settings its not 1 through 4, its actually 0 through 3, with zero meaning "off". I have played a lot of games and messed with many configs over the years...

    Imagine Pirates! The MMORPG

    Not all of us share the love of playing MMORPG games.

    Captain Python's P! 2 Thread (Former: I'm not buying this!)

    Great. Just what we need...another online only game that ends up costing you almost $200 a year just to play. No thanks.

    Some more i wish there was thoughts

    I have one wish.. I wish people would stop complaining about this great game.

    Captain Python's P! 2 Thread (Former: I'm not buying this!)

    Captain_Python: I am sorry I called you a moron however, once again you said something that just does not sit well with me. Yes, these boards are for opinions and usually those opinions are by those people WHO HAVE ACTUALLY PLAYED THE GAME. There is a big difference when someone posts their...

    Is this game repetitive?!

    I dont know what to say. The game is fun. In a Gamecube sort of way. And yes, I mean that as a compliment. I own Xbox, PC and a gamecube and I play Gamecube the most because the Mario and Zelda games are fun. Fable was fun on the Xbox too. Pirates is a FUN game. I am 34 years old and I have...

    Captain Python's P! 2 Thread (Former: I'm not buying this!)

    Cpt. StarEye: I agree. I just loaded up POTC for a hour of gaming. While it does have a lot more depth (especially since all the builds), it just isn't FUN. Thats right folks its all about FUN. Remember this.

    Captain Python's P! 2 Thread (Former: I'm not buying this!)

    Define repetitive? I would say POTC is more repetitive because there are only 6 islands and you spend a lot of time going back and forth to trade goods (which you are obviously interested in because you are upset about buying ships, when you can get ships easily by fighting) Halo is...

    You, my friend, are ill informed <i>(Keith).</i> 1. The reviews actually been very good: <a href="http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/915017.asp?q=pirates" target="_blank">http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/915...7.asp?q=pirates</a> 2. You come on the Pirates board to tell us that...

    What a Game. Simply Amazing

    Athlon XP 2800 1 GB ram Geforce 6800 I am pretty advanced with computers so I have tweaked everything in my operating system to run smoothly so its definitely the game as far as the "chase" camera is concerned..

    What a Game. Simply Amazing

    This `mini-review` is going to be all over the place so be prepared.. The 150 page spiral bound manual is one of the best and informative manuals I have read since Neverwinter Nights (also spiral bound btw). Kudos to Sid for remembering that we enjoy a nice thick manual to read at bedtime...

    Can it top POTC?

    Look guys I understand they are two different games, apples and oranges, etc. However, the media will compare them. Read all the reviews about any pirate game and you will hear comparisons. Why? Because there arent that many pirate games around. They can be two different games however when...

    Can it top POTC?

    I think its going to be tough. In POTC you can walk around and interact. You can walk through jungles during the sunset and find caves, etc. With Pirates! it looks like you just have to click on "Visit Governor" while looking at light blue waters that look a little cartoony. Please dont tell...

    Interface Mod

    With all the great mods I was wondering if it is possible for an interface mod? I currently use a joystick to emulate the keyboard and it is great. I never have to use the keyboard during my game. However nomatter what you do in POTC you have to sail on the map screen with WASD and the space...
