I had already for like a half year the AOP.rar file on my computer. I wanted to try back then but none of the tricks I did worked. Yesterday was the first time that I played AOP (can't blame me cuz it's their own fault making them people waiting so long and making them play with the release date). Ok, so far so good. The interface is quit good, as you all have seen from screens. I think in that direction it outstands POTC. Anyway I have played it for like 2 hours and I must say that I regret it a lil'bit (waste of time). The game 'world' is extremely limited! Remember the invisible boundries from POTC?? Well, it's now like 1000x worse. You can almost only walk on the paths they directed, and in most of the city's where the beach is 1 meter from the port, is the water unable for accesing. So some stupid walls prevent you to go into the water, don't ask me why you should walk in the water but hey?! I think you'll catch my point when you got them game yourself.

What I personally completly don't understand is why they can't make the "invisible walls" fitting to the scale models. I mean, they litteraly rushed through the game with this and it feels like they added the "walk space" on the last day of developing! Seriously guys, you can forget about the so-called "freedom" feeling in the game cuz it sucks big time...



more to come!

To be fair Age of Pirates is better than Corsairs 3 and cannot be compared even though they are the same game. Corsairs 3 is a buggy pre-alpha version that was for some reason released into the Russian market 30% completed.

Age of Pirates the English version is supposed to be much better. Just wait and see.
 
Welcome aboard Cap'n Finch,thats the truth of it,we had plenty of Russian players posting how bad their game is,so we know that fer sure, so w don't want to drag up all that stuff again. like you said, hope the English version is more bug free. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
how can they worked full a year for a game to release that is only 30% and within' a few months after a game that is 100% ?!.. doesn't make sence, although I hope you are right but I doubt it. don't put your expectations to high though, the towns in the islands are IMO really small, they all have the same routes, a cirkel to walk within the middle some houses, no big deal if you ask me..
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" /> @Jopieseethoek: I also have the rar.file one my PC but it doesn´t work! How could you start the game?

finaly good to hear somebody said that,you should of been here when Russian players were posting how bad the Russian game is supposed to be <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Good news? did I already told you that you can't go in any of the houses in the city's ? only in the tavern, shipyard, store, resident and curch (if there is one). I can't believe how they limited this game compared to POTC,.. I thought it was going to be an improvemend.... NOT
 
Aye! I´ve played the Russian version about 1 hour last evening and must say that I´m a bit disappointed....!
For exaple there are no discriptions about the goods you can buy (swords/pistols and so on...), you can´t speak with all people you want (?) and like Jopieseethoek said you can´t go in any of the town´s houses (only shipyard/tavern and so on...)! But I think that I´ll play the game anyway and use the Russian version as a kind of demo...

I hope that Playlogic had done a good job to improve the game... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

I hope so too, but I doubt it
 
The guy from playlogic gave me a pdf a while back wich shwed up the changes they wanted, its wasnt a new feature list it was 70% bug fix list withsome interface changes. Hopefully we'll have like in morrowind, a mod that creates a sort of village activity thing.
 
New problems: Where can I find a tradebook? How can I get merchant-missions? Np jungle?
Lol, what´s going on?
@Jopieseethoek: Do you know the answers?? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/poet.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":hmm" border="0" alt="poet.gif" />

Hello to all!!

...i am looking forward to the release of AGES OF PIRATES-CARIBBEAN TALES!!! It looks all so quiet so good.... r0000xxx!!

But I have one really, really interesting question about the sailing system in AOP...

How does the sailing system work? Do you have the possibility to sail alltime in 3D-mode or do you have to sail via small map like in "pirates"....

????

I can´t understand, why nobody can tell me the facts about the sailing system.... there are many members here, who play already the game.... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

ok man I stop writing about that, BUT ....in case... some guys say you can and some you don´t have the possibility... (someone said, if you sail in 3d-mode the time in the game runs "realtime" ... and if you sail via small map is faster(playtime runs faster....)


I think I will see it, when it is released in september...

ciaoozzz
