>/v/ always talks about pirating games>but never about pirate games
>>741910893now that you mentioned, I wish we had a Pirates of the Caribbean game instead of another trash sequel movie.
>>741910893There are no fucking games.
>>741910893I liked the mmo because you could go to jail
imagine anyone else as Jack Sparrow, kek.I wonder who else had auditions for the part.
Sea of Thieves desperately needs a reason to do anything. Why the fuck is the treasure so worthless?Author's note: I have not played it in nearly a decade.
>>741910893you could try out the sea dogs franchise, its pretty good for slavjank.
Should I get Risen 2?
>>741911375>spoilerme either. I miss just running that one factions flag that marks you on everyone's map and just rolling up on people.Having someone sail around in a circle for 20 mins while 3 of us sneak onto one of the ships outside of one of the forts or global events with powder kegs was the best.
>>741910893Sid Meier's Pirates! solved the genre. There's nothing to discuss.
2=>1>>>3>>>>>>>4>5
>>741912002They made a 5th?
>>741911981the original one or the remake?either way starsector mogs both of them
>>741911375there was a similar game that came out a year or so before SoT and it had so much better gameplay, just pure combat 20v20 or so.
>>741912128I've only played the remake, but I'll check out Starsector.
I wish pirate fantasy was more of a thing. Krakens, voodoo shit, haunted ships, skeleton crews, all that shit.Also 1>2>>>3>>>>>>>>>>>>>>everything else (2 would be a lot better without the retarded love triangle subplot that was already explored and resolved in the first fucking movie, stop making Elizabeth into a whore)
>>741911981Use to play this and Port Royale a lot back in the day, good stuff.>>741912128>starsector mogs both of themStarsector is one of the best games ever made. One of the few games I revisit like every year.
Once again I shall shill the Pirates of the Caribbean game with New Horizons Maelstrom mod
>>741910893I've always liked Treasure Planet for PC
>>741911016But there are games from the pirates of the caribbean series, several actuallyi played at least 3 of them and i cant remember anything because they were really bad
>>741911158Windrose
>>741910893Claw is pretty good, later levels are hard as fuck
I loved black flag and I'm getting resynced day 1
>>741912705i remember genuinely liking one of them on the ds but i was also a kid so who the fuck knows
Curse of the Black Pearl was the last hurrah of 90s blockbuster cinema, before CGI completely overtook everything instead of just being for a select few effects. Great film.
>>741911016There is a decent one that is not based on the movies. Like AC Black Flag lite before AC Black Flag.
>>741912814same, if i played them again right now they'd probably be even worse. so i'll leave them in my memory like that
I wish there were more pirate games that focused more on the aesthetics and adventure than the ship part. The pirating stuff is cool but what makes the Pirates of the Caribbean movies fun is better captured by games like Uncharted than any pirate game. I want something like that but for pirates.
>>741910893Pirate Yakuza was fun.
>>7419128501 and 2 use tons of CGI but for some reason it looks really good, like way fucking better than modern movies
>>741912757>someone else (who isn't me) played thatnani?!
>>741913000I'm surprised the Japanese had any awareness of the whole western concept of pirates
>>741911360Imagine a washed up retard like Robert De Niro in the role. Yes, that might have happened.
>>741913612Because in the 90s and early 2000s they still shot movies on film and CGI was used sparingly, even if it was used a bunch for certain scenes. Shooting on film and not using a green screen for every scene makes a massive difference. Think Lord of the Rings vs The Hobbit. Both used tons of CGI, but The Hobbit took it way too far.
Take me back
who the fuck even wants to be a pirate?it's all just scurvy and barnacles and shityou can't even use magic yourself
>>741910893I liked Windrose but its not finished and the grind hits hard around after the first boss.
>>741913000I thought the Pirates of Carribean movies did excessively well over there.
>>741910893Sea of Thieves had so much fucking potential, but they had to go and make it the most casualized piece of garbage possible because swearing and stealing in a pirate game is bad
>>741914382>they removed PVP because players didn't like being attackedWhat the fuck? When I played with my friends back in the day there was literally nothing else. That was the whole game.
Be real with me bros, is AssCreed Black Flag actually good or is it the regular padded-out Ubislop joint? I have to admit that one caught my eye back in the day, but I've been skeptical...
>>741913668I still have the CD somewhere
Is there a pirate game better than AC black flag? not multiplayer
>>741914503PvP is still in the game. There's just an option for a private mode where you don't fight others but I think you're also limited in actually earning rewards and unlocks.
>>741914885The latter. I have to assume it was baby's first open world game to a lot of people so they weren't burned out by the usual stuff yet. But if you're calling it "padded-out Ubislop" you will definitely think it's trash.It was trash when it was new, let alone now that a lot of the tropes are considered tired even by the people who like that slop.
>>741910893Etrian Odyssey 3 is pretty cool.
Maybe a pirate game requires a rebel studio to make it, not much rebellion in corporate settings nowadays. Ubisoft sure doesn't want to rebel even a little so forget it.
>>741914885It's trash, the same as the rest of AssCreed. The only difference and the reason it's so fondly talked about is that there are (relatively brief) sailing and naval combat sections that are both comfy because your crew sings sea shanties (this was before they became viral on youtube and were shoved into fucking everything) and actually decently fun because the naval combat isn't terrible.
>>741910893The Seadogs PotC game with mods and Sid Meier's are the only good pirate games that exist.
>>741911158
anyone play Port Royale, specifically 3? Never played the series, apparently 3 is the best and then the 4th one they decided drinking an entire bottle of Miralax and shitting themselves was a good idea
>>741911375As someone who just stopped playing, there still isn't shit to do unless you like pvpAt this point I won't be surprised if that game doesn't make it another yearSucks too because the sailing in it is just about perfect, I would love a single player action adventure game set on a huge ocean with a ton of islands to explore with SoT's sailing. Shit like AC: Black Flag isn't that interesting to me, since while sailing you're controlling the ship and not your character sailing the ship
>>741914885The parts that aren't AC are legitimately goodThe AC parts drag it down a ton but there's an actually decent pirate game underneath all that shit. If you know what you're in for it's worth playing, just temper your expectations.
>>741910893pirates of the caribbean is a better game than assassins creed. you can't change my mind
>>741914885no. it's an ass faggot game just like the rest of them. don't let people fool you
>>741915492yes it's called pirates of the caribbean
>>741912643I liked treasure planet for GBA but i'm not sure I could deal with how slow it could be as an adult
>>741915492
Is this actually bad or do zoomers just not get it?
>>741916203At this point I'm surprised the McRebellion™ woketards haven't taken the pirate angle yet, they love to co-opt rebellious aesthetics like that and larp as rebels themselves. I can easily picture a game about pirates who talk like millennials.
How were they able to do this in 2006?
>>741920232Talent.
>>741919959If you look at it and you don't know what to expect then you'll hate it. But if you look at it and it makes you remember a bunch of 6/10 at most games and you remember them fondly, then it's worth playing. There's a demo, too.
>>741920587This quote was always I am 14 and this is deep.
>>741911016They were gonna make a cool original one but cancelled it. Or maybe it came out and it sucked, I don't remember
It feels like Black Flag Resynced is barely getting any advertising. You'd think a remake of a fan favorite asscreed would be a bigger deal.
>>741920232THREE THREES
>>741920232Literally lost knowledge, mostly because boomers and jews refuse to properly train younger generations.
>>741910893
>>741910893for me? it's gothic 2 notr
>>741922943Windrose is like someone described a couple video games to an alien, then the alien attempted to make a video game based on those descriptions.
>>741920587>>741920628It's not that the mystique of the world is gone, rather that people have been caring much less about upholding it anymore since second half of the 1800s. It's been exacerbated to absurd degrees in the 21st century, you see; when was the last time you struck up a convo with some random stranger in the wild purely out of interest?
>>741925172Yesterday. Some Somalian dude or some race like that did a double-take after we off-handedly said hello to each other in passing and started going on about how he thought I looked like a dude in a movie he watched recently so I said fuck it and detoured from where I was going so he could tell me about it as we walked.Some foreign flick I've obviously never fucking heard of and will never watch but still.
>>741910893There's three good ones: sid meier's pirates, uncharted waters, and black fag (but only if you ignore literally 80% of the game).
>>741910893then post pirate games, nigger. Sea Dogs series, Pirates, and so on.
>>741925172my girlfriend does it all the fucking time
>>741925172By the 1720s a majority of the world was mapped out. All of it had been colonized by some level of humanity. The quote is applicable to the homogenization and globalization of everything people held dear, freedoms and magic were dwindling to give way to civilization. When Jack was a kid he saw Atlantis, met mermaids, all other types of eldritch creatures, even encountered dinosaurs. Now anything that made the world unique is gone.
>>741911187I like games where you're in jail
Underrail Expedition
I still can't get over the fact that the pillars of eternity devs claimed that they spent a huge amount of dev resources on the ship combat minigame in deadfire, but it plays like some high schooler's intro to cs project.
>>741910893>Pirated all the DLCs for the Granblue fighter game>Started getting into fighters again after how much Strive pissed me off back in 22 or something>buy sf6 cheaply off a keyseller since it seems more my pace>find out after on cs.rin.ru that you actually cant pirate any of the charactersI fucked up didn't I. Granblue made me too comfortable thinking I can get entire games for free, for fucks sake.Atleast I can play all the characters "offline" for free and try them out before commiting. The sandnigger looks fun
>>741920232not hiring teams of troons and jeets and kicking out all the whites and asians
>>741925412Yeah, interactions like that should be the norm, but it feels like a ton of people nowadays are too hesitant whenever you attempt to engage them in friendly company. I'll say, it's easier to strike up interests in an event, but anything off the cuff ends way quicker than it ought to>>741925693Good shit, everyone should act like those old ass grannies who were eager to dredge up their curiosity towards you whenever you'd encounter them as a young kid >>741925802Even beyond that, the advancements in science and shifts in geopolitics during the 19th century fundamentally affected the way humanity itself viewed the world. In the most half assed way to summarize w/ vidya terms, it's the equivalent of optimizing the fun out of gameplay mechanics in order to establish the meta for a varied userbase. You can observe a few instances from that era onwards where humans attempted to uphold similar forms of mystique en masse, but these ultimately faltered when confronted in the face of such grim realities accompanying the basis of these perceptions. Most notable examples I can think of:>worldwide view of Napoleon and France>worldwide view of America>reactions to WW1 and WW2 (though less for the latter)
AC Odyssey sailing bits were fun
>>741920587This shit doesn't make any sense, How does the bong kills the Kraken?
>>741910893Wait for Cerulean Onslaught
>>741913612Because they still used tons of practical sets and effects. They built full working ships and filmed them on the ocean. Nowadays they'd film on a volume with flat lighting.
>>741921193SIX SEVENS
>>741929525Beckett ordered Jones to kill it.
should i grab this during the sale bros or is it dogshit?i played carribean tales as a kid and remember loving it
>>741911646Yes.
>Pirate every single game I can get my hands on but never finish 90% of themIs the pirate curse real? Do you just not feel motivated to play if you didn't pay for it 'cause it feels like it has no value?
>>741910893Black Flag Resynced comes out in like a couple weeks and looks pretty great. I'm excited to raid the fuck out of ships and bases and go treasure hunting all over again. Even the AC adjacent gameplay stuff like stealth and tailing is piratey enough that it fits right in.
>>741934885>playing the demake
>>741934949>better combat>more weapons for the jackdaw and naval mechanics>overhauled mission structure that ditches the shitty fail states for more freedom>can recruit officers now>the dumbass docking loading screens are gone>the dumbass modern sequences are gone>can dive anywhere now>more content in general including islands, shanties, etc.>a whole ass epilogue with 8 new missions>"""demake"""
>>741929259Well, perhaps some of that is true in terms of geopolitical spread of culture along with technology, but it didn't mean that mystery of the world necessarily changed. For instance, it wasn't until a generation post WWII that the "dark corners of the map" were filled in by those advances. Think about the Indiana Jones and adventure serial (later, The Mummy with Brendan Frasier) idea of someone in the 20s-40s could be out there finding some lost artifact, city, or tribe. I mean, the literal cargo cults were a thing in the oceanic region given lesser contacted tribes seeing all these WWII era planes mass parachuting in "cargo" - easy shit to eat without hunting it or digging up a yam after a season or some shit, medicine and more - and so they started dressing in green and marching, building a runway strip out of coconuts and shit believing that "John Frum" would come with "cargo"! So it kinda went both ways. However there were tons of other forms of mystique to the world. In the late 18th and early 19th century this was the Occultism era - pretty much everything a WeatherFactory game could be set in . People were learning about science and technology, and figured that learning about secret knowledge of ascended masters written about on some cave wall in tibet and only translated by a monk who came down from the top of a mountain every 5 years would give them enlightenment and power. Later on, counterculture would look to many of these principles but it was no more mustachioed men in a lodge but the belief that the dawning of the Age of Aquarius would mean a triumphant change. However, we also went forward and looked to the skies and technology as far as dreaming of a big world - all of the futurism and of course the space race and whatnot was another perspective. The more ambitious and positive side of things was the likes of Star Trek. Hell, even the early days and vision for the Internet 'felt" bigger...
>>741935378visuals look way fucking worse though
>>741935378I don't know how making it without the modern day stuff and the mainline story is going to work. I wish they would have overhauled that instead to give more context (ie like have the Juno finale actually playable instead of in some goddamn comic book somewhere) instead of cutting it all out. The historical tale is directly connected to Blackbeard /Standish etc. Sage stuff and the Observatory, blood samples etc. which comes out in the modern storyline. It would be better for them to do do the Black Cross stuff instead (and maybe they will, or at least prep it for anotther game. There was an update for Shadows advertised that the finale story update there is Black Cross stuff , but the fact that Claws of Awaji is not important apparently or that there's no fucking follow up Japanese mythology expansion is fucking infuriating. ALl they had to do to apologize is give us a heavily Isu infused Yamanuchi Taka to be the protag of the mythology expansion. Fuck) .
Reminder that they're making a 6th movie with a stumbling, mid 60's Johnny Depp.
>>741936140I pretty much gave up on AC when they killed off Desmond desu. His whole storyline just got axed like that. Might check out the demake of black flag if the added content is interesting enough.
>>741936189No they aren't. They're literally rebooting the whole shit.
>>741936838Oh fucking great black, gay and lesbian pirates fighting the patriarchy
>>741930954It is a game from 2005Evade blackmark as a plague
>>741910893i dont know if its really a pirate game but i fucking love ancient conquest the golden fleece.
>>741937189They’re pirates they are always fighting the patriarchy. Also black pirates are in all of these movies.
>>741937195is it really just a 1:1 rip of everything? it looks like they added some stuff but i never played to each his own so i can't really tellhonestly if it reminds me of the version i played as a kid and runs well on modern hardware i'm fine with paying 15 bucks for it if it isn't total assthe company does seem weird as shit though even with the original series having 3 different names but they're russian so a little scumminess is to be expected of them
>>741912273All time favourite, one of the best games ever made
>>741912742Is Windrose any good?
>>741910893Pirates SUCKS. We like medieval fantasy and zombie games here
>>741911646No.
>>741911158>>741912742There are no GOOD pirate games.>inb4 ass creed not actually that good, just one of the only 'decent' pirate games, and its attached to ubislop ass creed that you cannot separate.I have no idea why no one can make a good and fun pirate game, like christ it cant be that fucking hard not to fuck up a yarr harr
>>741911016>>741912705I played this one as a kid and remember it being fun, but that might've just been because I was a kidhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7u8HcnWhiDM
>>741920232When things are harder to do people put more effort and passion into doing them. Now the unpaid intern can shit out something "good enough" with little to no effort so nobody bothers trying anymore
>>741911360the issue with him being so fucking good, is that basically since then, every other pirate tries to be jack sparrow instead of being themselvesYou had other fucking peak characters like barbosa, of course, but everyone just tries to emulate jack or a stereotypical yar har with no fucking soul>jack sparrah and tim minchin also feminised me into liking eye shadow on men unironically
>>741910893Cutthroats: Terror on the High SeasBest pirate game ever
>>741928804the troons are white and asian retard
>>741939304>tim minchinfor the curious + gaye
>>741936737For what its worth uh.. he might not be dead / his story isn't over. The whole storyline of what happened with Desmond actually works out pretty well (ie what happened in the Great Temple to avert the 2012 catastrophe at the end of 3, unleashed Juno - which leads up to stuff we see in original 4's Black Flag, and also has another impact that doesn't show up until the Layla Trilogy (Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla)
>>741910893Isn't Black Flag releasing soon?
>>741910893I still believe in the fromsoft pirate game
sid meiers pirates needs a remake and it wouldnt cost an insane amountonly game im hyped for atm is ac black flag, thatll be fun
>>741939673>remakeFuck off.
>>741938842spoken like a true cocksucker.
>>741910893All the pirate game i tried never include actual pirate stuff, like kidnapping and raping and tied sick people to the cannon and blow their body fluid to other pirate ship
>>741939858and they wont ever, we're in the age of mass appeal and sanitisation where joos control if you are allowed to be paid or not. This era, you'd be lucky to so much as get a wench and implied consensual black screen sex in a game.We have villains that want to kill entire planets but you wont ever catch them saying a slur, weird that.
>>741939304Its worse because everyone tries to emulate gay anime pirates from one piece.
>>741913680They made one of the better Treasure Island adaptations back in the 70s.
>>741911360I dunno, i feel like peak Robert Downey Jr wouldve been great Jack.But yeah Depp was literally perfect Jack.
>>741910893>tfw old enough to have seen curse of the black pearl in theathersjust
>>741925172>when was the last time you struck up a convo with some random stranger in the wild purely out of interest?I haven't left my house for longer than 2 minutes to throw out the trash in years
>>741941120I was 7 years old and at the time it was the best movie I ever saw, pure kino. Elizabeth was my ideal woman for years
>>741912253Blazing Sails?For some reason it's filled to the brim with t*rks. A terrible experience as these.. creatures can't understand simply concepts like firing a cannon or trimming a sail.
>>741940997Hes good at bizarre roles like Lincoln O’Siris but I dont know if he could Jack. Its not just the way the character talks but his body language.

>>741911016The Bethesda one from 2003 was the best. Kinda like Mount and Blade but with pirates.
>>741935831>all of the futurism and of course the space race and whatnot was another perspective. The more ambitious and positive side of things was the likes of Star Trek.Yeah you're right, I completely forgot about those factors. I suppose, then, the only avenues by which the average modern man would ever really care about mystique have to be foisted onto him rather than naturally curated. Kind of a shame, really, you just had Artemis II this year complete a mission that'd have flourished with folklore in any other era; now it just comes across like a quaint little occurrence from a public standpoint
>>741930954its a good game, has "improved" graphics compared to the original, slightly different and less janky combat, better movement and new content, although you need to buy the dlc for most of the new content. It's also updated pretty frequently.
>>741941942It's not a Bethesda game bro. They just licensed Sea Dogs 2 and renamed it and added a Black Pearl ship. The series still exists and gets new entries with the newest one being released in 2025.
>>741939719its unplayable in current gen retard
>>741946165I played it yesterday.
>>741911016this one was neat, i remember getting hard filtered by the final boss as a kid
>>741946165Its on Steam right now, dummy.>>741944534That shit was fake, and everyone knows it.
