Why are there so few pirate games?
>>729165656The genre peaked with the Sid Meier’s game.
I think devs get scared with how to portray the sailing
Is Port Royale 4 good? Was thinking of picking it up but the last pirate game I played was Sid Meier's.
There isn't.>Black Flag>Skull and Bones>Sea of Thieves>Sea Dogs>Port Royale>Sid Meier's Pirates>The Pirate: Carribean Hunt>Tropico 2>Rum and GunThat's like a game for every genre
>>729165656It's a shitty genre where you have to balance sea combat in some way. If you're just on land, you're not a pirate. If you're just out to sea, you're a naval game- which doesn't sell that well.Black Flag had the virtue of sea combat being trialed in AC3 and land gameplay having an entire 18th century game occurring directly before it.
>>729165745This.Early in the genre's life it was perfected and everyone decided to let it go because there's no chance it was getting any better.
>>729165986>Sea DogsWhich one is the overall best?
>>729165990The on land sections are the worst part of Black Flag
>>729165656because normies don't like being robbed, see Sea of Thieves.
>>729166664I'd like to know to because I remember seeing it go on sale a lot for 90% off for over a decade yet I never bought it for some unknown reason. Probably because I found the banner to be off-putting I guess?
>>729165986There's also Seablip. Too bad it sucks beacuse it sounded like a fun concept.>>729166664The pirates of the caribbean one if you are honourable enough to not teleport during combat and ignore the black pearl just appearing and not being explained since it was a last minute rebrand to cash in on the success of the IP.
>>729165986>There isn't>Posts a very small list spanning two decades
