Slaiv Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Has anyone played Sid Meier's Pirates? [The remake, not the original.] I have heard many a good thing about it, and currently am looking to buy it. However, there is one thing I need clarification on - the length. If there is one thing I cannot stand, it's wasting your hard-earned money on a short game. [Fable, anyone?] A single career will last at least a few days. Depending on your starting era, you'll find a variety of political conditions in the Caribbean. Is the game short? What kind of replayability options are there? Are there different eras, as the quote implies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 I suspect "a few days" refers to real world days, not in-game ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveme4whoiam Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 I haven't played the game yet, but i have read a very good review of it in PCZone (foremost in PC games journalism). It says that the games holds true to the original, as you'd expect from Sid Meier. They gave it 87% or around that mark, which is very high for them.

valdir Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 I loved the original and will be getting this one soon. I also assume days means a 24 hour period, only pluralized. That's a lot of hours. :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaiv Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 I will be getting it, no doubt - the only decision is when. If the game is totally excellent, I'll be getting it as soon as possible. If it's just good and fun, I'll wait until the price drops to get it.

valdir Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 I've been playing for the past three hours and I must say: Wow. It was all piratey fun and games until I encountered Capt Morgan and was continuously defeated about 6 times before I gave up. Sigh... and just when I was starting to think this game was easy.

UberBender Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Very fun, but gets old after playing for (almost) an entire day strait. I like how you can align with a group and help them take over the Carribean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
