PC Pirate games

In your most humblest opinion, whats the best Pirate PC Game out there in terms of authenticity and playability?

[stabiz]

I think its yet to be made.:cry:

They had some mods out for Pirates of the Caribbean (2003) that were awesome. Look them up on ModDB

Sea Dogs currently rates as #1 in my book. Pirates of the Carribean took away some of the good ships and the land combat is a little uh, not so good.

I heard the game 'Pirates!' is pretty entertaining. I played the first version many moons ago, but the new version I have not.

Sea Dogs and Sea Dogs 2 were nice games, Sid Meier's Pirates was fun. No real raping and murdering pirate games yet so the authentic medal is still up for grabs :)

[Stealth Hunter]

What about the Vikings?

[stabiz]

From a patriotic and sadistic standpoint, I would love a realistic Viking game.:lol:

[Stealth Hunter]

Hell yes!

Plunder, pillage, enslave, rape, and burn!

[stabiz]

And we would need a mod that would let us dock the ships outside monasteries on the British Isles, accept gifts and welcomes, and then rape, pillage and slaughter. Nice chaps, my ancestors.:rotfl:

I think changing the name and adding a different story to it cost in ship design, etc. Probably the best PC game we will get based on a movie, but the movie took what should have been a great game and cut it off at the knees.

Leaf Erikson mod, lol.

[stabiz]

Its Leif, but close enough.:up:

[Stealth Hunter]

Wasn't he also called Red Erikson?

Probably a socialist.:p (Noooo, I killed the thread)

Dammit, Stab...:stare:

Whatever you do stay the hell away from "Pirates of the Burning Sea".

Im not even sure why that game has pirates in its title.

The game is fine, I unsubbed it a while ago because currently the playerbase is horrible (When the game started out you could see a port-battle with classic battle-lines and actual strategy, nowadays everybody just charges the enemy)

As for a SP game, I would recommend Sid Meier's Pirates, great game

I played it for a month or two at launch. The line battles were fun if you could get an orginized group together.

Game imbalance, developer insecuritys and diddeling with the game messed it up.

Lack of depth was also an issue.

I still browse their forums now and then and it is a ghost town compared to launch. I really dont think they can maintain with that small a user base for much longer.

In that case the game might get bought off by SOE. Wouldn't surprise me a bit.

It was fun at times during beta, but got repetitive pretty fast.
