Sid Meier's Pirates!

[Atebash]

It does, definitely. I am still playing it with great passion, even 5 days after bitching about it

Hey Atebash, Is it true that your character starts to look older as the years pass? Cause he's 24 now, and I just can't help but think that he's looking more mature now. It's very subtle, but I really think he looks older.

That, or I'm just seeing things.

And it's deffo addictive.

PS. The daughter of St Kitts governor is HOT

[WitchCraft]

She lives on a tropical island, duh!...

[Atebash]

I prefer the one in Guadalupe (French in 1660) since she's dark haired and has that collar around her neck! :love

I haven't noticed the aging YET, but my character is still only 26 Maybe he looks older, I didn't notice

[Neoccu]

I must get this game and play it. It sounds really cool.

[Marcus]

Well, there's only one thing missing from these games... You can't hit on the girls in the taverns. :laugh

PS. The girl from St. Kitts loves me

[WitchCraft]

I had a girlfriend from Guadeloupe once... Visited the island a few times too.

[Marcus]

I boned your ex girlfriend then.

[WitchCraft]

Pfft, she wasn't even born in the 1700, or else she would have been the oldest woman in the world! I was talking seriously. :.I.

Damm.... Ive been looking for a good pirate game for so long.... yet i never found one untill now.... but i cant DL the gold version!!! Anyone know where i can find it? i would buy the new one...... but i tend to not pay for anything i dont have to..... and im usally able to "Aquire" games for free from stores.... heheh

[elgado]

I've found one very disappointing difference, that being the fact that you cannot storm a coastal city by sea. On the old Pirates, I would occassionally launch risky attacks on cities with a loaded pinnacle, dodge cannonfire from the fort, and hope for a good swordfight...However, on the new game the only way I could attack a coastal city was by landing troops and making them march there =\ ...Then again, maybe I'm wrong (I don't own it; just played it in a net cafe once)...

[Atebash]

Yep, the old Pirates had that, while this one doesn't. Why? Don't know...

Hey guys I've tried this game for todays now.
It is fun. The graphics is good. The controls is OK.

But I found some drawbacks that I think should be improved. The simple example is the voice.
"bralgaldjl, lkhisdlkjg kosdf ya?..."
Can u understand what I wrote above??? No right. Same with me. I think the captioning should be just an option like in HL2. The person should say something in true words not just gibberish. Also I think the merchandise in the market during those history time, should not be just spices, luxuries, sugar and goods. I think Sid Meir can put more extra items with more details in it.  And I think it is very wierd, canon in the market ? Canon supposely in the shipwright mate.

Aside from those drawbacks that I found, all things that actualy in the old version has been transfer successfully. The action swashbuckling sword fighting is in. The funny action part is the dancing with the governor daugther... it is like playing those timezone dancing machine, only with fingers....

[Marcus]

Aye, the voice acting bothers me too, but other than that..

Hell, I'm STILL playing this game!

[WitchCraft]

Yep, quite addictive! :yeah :yeah :yeah
