Gold for PC in 1993 (I remember it as a bit clunky, but still GREAT) , and then the Sid Meier's Pirates! from 2004 is the re-re-release, and I DEMAND A RE-RE-RE-RELEASE NOW! Been waiting 20 years... The 2004 version was the last time I started playing a game in the evening, and then suddenly it was starting to get light outside... I'm too old for that kind of gaming now, but damn, that was a great game...

a lot of people forget pirates were essentially veteran navy men and 16-24 year olds who owned their own ships and went back to their countries to find a peaceful country with no room for them or their ships. They had no marketable skills other than Sea to Sea and Sea to Land combat and a good sense of strategy. So, they made a crew and continued doing what they were good at. Naval combat. i would love to see a pirate game lean into this found family aspect of pirate lore.

But it’s a game, and for a game to thrive and survive you need a good community, or at least a loyal one.

@taliclay2931

@@nathanbrisebois8756See, this is the sort of attitude that could save games like Sea of Thieves. Roleplay, and make it part of the player interaction. All the components are there, but the community isn’t. You could play as a pirate hunting man-o-war, or an exploratory vessel, or a fishing trawler, or a privateer, or a trading ship. All that’s easily supported in Sea of Thieves and other such games. But when the only thing anyone wants to do is go mess with others without speaking, without any sort of meaningful interaction, just kill and go like they don’t think of other players as people? Who wants to play that? You can kill and maim and explode people, but actually TALK, or dance, or something that shows that there’s humans interacting and not a soulless fun-wrecker just out for themselves.

So glad to see you talk about Sid Meier's Pirates. I used to play that game a ton, and I loved the experience of looting ships, traveling to the port where you could sell your cargo for a lucrative amount, and spending your money to eventually get the most powerful ship with all the upgrades and a full crew, so you could take out any other ship on the sea and complete the final quests with ease.

Had a great session in Sea of Thieves last night. I started the game in a solo sloop intending to simply fish, and decided to head to a seapost to double-check my promotions and progression for the Hunter's Call However, I failed to notice that the closest one was right in the path of a Fleet of Fortune, so I got distracted as I tried to fend off the ships attacking me. I end up defeating the fleet and collecting the loot, and I go sell it at an outpost. As I finish up, I hop back on my ship intending to get back to fishing, when I see a player ship parked at a nearby island. "What the hell," I think, I'll go see what they're up to. I come up, decide to park around the back, and observe them for a moment, and see that it's two players fighting skeletons, with a decent amount of loot by the shore. I first look around for a powder keg thinking "what the hell, I'll sink them and steal it while they're distracted", but no such luck. I do find some fireworks though, so I decide to instead be nice, shoot the fireworks off to get their attention, and offer an alliance. They didn't have mics, but they seemed to decide that I wasn't a threat and just went back to what they were doing, and I even help them out with their skeleton bounty. Once we get to the boss, though, and I see it's a skeleton lord, I note that my ship is sitting in a prime position to attack theirs without them being able to effectively run or retaliate, and the cogs start turning in my head. I quietly put their anchor down and start stealing supplies from them, firebombs especially, while their attention is on the boss, fighting it here and there myself to keep their guard down. The second the boss is defeated, I start setting their ship on fire, and rush back to my ship to start laying into them, and I kill and sink them rather quickly. I collect up my freshly stolen loot and head back to the outpost, but on my way I get distracted by a skeleton ship that pops up to attack me. This gives the other player ship enough time to respawn and catch up to me, and I'm low on supplies of my own, so I have no choice but to run. I'm chased halfway across the ocean, even getting stopped by a Kraken at one point (they would've had a perfect opportunity to catch me here, but they kept their distance, presumably they were newer players that were intimidated by it), before I manage to hop off my ship while leaving it sailing, board theirs, before anchoring them, firebombing them, and killing them a couple times before returning to my own, having bought enough distance with my distraction to get them to give up the chase, giving me the opportunity to stop at an outpost and sell. All of that, and when I booted up the game that night, I fully intended on just sitting there and fishing. I think that's a perfect example of why Sea of Thieves is a great pirate game, that it encourages exploration, allows for trickery and lateral thinking, throws complications up in your way, and rewards you for playing in all sorts of unique ways.

It is amazing to me that here we are 20 years later and Sid Meier's Pirates really is the best pirate game around, with Black Flag in second place... and rather far behind in second place

I would say that Black Flag has the best sailing mechanics. Sure, exploration is a bit lackluster but actually sailing is fucking awesome. Having to maneuver around water spouts, sail up gargantuan waves, steering clear of whirlpools, all while doing a beautiful dance of ship v. ship combat? It’s glorious. If you aren’t paying attention during a storm, consider yourself sunk and your save loaded to the last checkpoint

I started playing Sea of Thieves to play the little story mission adventure things, I remember going to an island, some guys came along asking if I was friendly, told them I was friendly, they then went and sunk my ship and came onto the island to hunt me down. Little did they know I was onto their scheme, I had snuck around to find their ship and burnt it down with bombs, they came running to their ship and i'd already escaped on a little rowboat.

I remember in the early 2010's Playing Club for a month or two just to see what all the hype was about, and honestly it was the bes---one of the worst gaming experiences I had. I didn't see what the big deal was as there was limited things to do in it and alot of microtransactions for cosmetics, like heck I remember some pirate ship in the game trying to sell a "rare/limited time" puffle or whatever it was called. So glad I did not waste any money on that game just so it could be shut down after everyone wasted theirs on meaningless in-game cosmetics.

Worth mentioning the Caribbean Legend game (formerly sea dogs, pirates of the Caribbean, age of pirates, etc) It feels like a game from the 90s... probably because parts of it are... but it's still a lot of fun. If there ever is a new game that takes the best parts of SoT, Blackflag and Pirates!, you would miss out if you didn't also add the best parts of this game series. Caribbean Legend's sandbox mode is free as well. (with none of that freemium bull) Worth giving a try.

Sad you didn't talk about Pirates of the Burning Seas, which I feel is top tier pirating. Like no joke, you want to upgrade your ship, you need to find people who make upgrades, and if you want to make upgrades yourself, you gotta go to specific ports that can only build specific things. There's different methods for combat, many different ships, and so much more.

I was that guy that got mad at Sea of Thieves and yes, every time I did, everyone laughed at me. It turned out to be a very frustrating game, I was so poor at PvP that everytime I did something actually cool in the game, It was essentially guaranteed it would be stolen mere moments later. However, I quickly decided to just say fuck it, and started doing the cool stuff, grabbing my reward and promptly throwing it away. Still got boarded of course, only for them to find nothing but an AFK player as I decided to wait out their wasted time making a coffee. Put in 500 hours like that, fun as heck and the joke was always on them.

"you can fit a boat on a ship, but you can't fit a ship on a boat" - Edward Kenway, 1722

lemme think.. a perfect pirate game.. could probably do well to have: -the ability to meddle with diplomacy -cool stuff to find and use -sea shanties -accessible ship combat with a high skill ceiling -juuust enough tactile things to play with to make a ship move, such that a really good crew could master movement -boarding -things to spend money on -violent weather -be pretty -sea monsters -taverns for uh.. procreation.. -minigames?? like chess or 21 -voip -large ish map the thought occurs, what if you had NPC crewmates so that a player only has to occupy the position of commanding the gunners? simplifies combat, if you have a party of a few players, maybe each firing deck occupies one player, sails another player, and steering another player? swivel guns only accessible to players, each individual gun can be taken over by a player for more precise shots, etc etc

I feel like a large problem is that the most recent pirate games are focused on multiplayer BS, meaning they tend to suck. For Sid Meiers Pirates, the problem for me is that the game only uses the fucking numberpad. One game I’ve found that’s decent is Buccaneers, which is made by the same guys that made the Sea Dogs games. Sadly the combat isn’t that great, but it’s still fun.

Blackwake is a bloody classic. Its so fun having a 13 people ship filled with friends. Also, the OST is beyond awesome.

Other hidden gym pirate games include Blazing Sails, a PvP Battle Royale, and Puzzle Pirates, an OLD MMO

A few months back i played Black flag. and in the game there was this one mission that was like 1000+ metres away from my current location. And i didnt have any fast travel around it, so i set sail. It took me 1 entire in game day and night to reach and luckily there were no battles or forts to fight at all. It was a peaceful journey. And god the sound of water hitting the ship and the sea shanties being sung was soo peaceful and calming, it made me feel like i was actually a crew member sailing and singing as well. That one moment made the entire game 10/10 for me.

Last time I played Sea of Thieves I got chased for 2 hours, we threw all our loot at them to get them to leave us alone. We even tried to sneak a rowboat onto a selling island while the rest of us ran. They didn't even take the loot. What did they want, to anchor us in place and then spawn kill us until we log off. I uninstalled the game and have yet to even want to install that toxic hell again. The problem with Sea of Thieves is there is enough PvE content for people like me to enjoy but the people who have kept playing it just hate people who don't want to PvP.

So thankful someone covered Sid Meier's Pirates, I spent hundreds of hours in this game as a child, it's a hidden gem! I never completed the story line either because I was off doing other things like treasure/pirate hunting etc. Also your character ages over time making him weaker and slower in battles! It's incredibly underrated.

I remember there being a pretty good pirate mobile game called DOKDO, but at some point it was taken off the app store. You only were on your ship tho, but you could fish, fight, collect crates from winning fights, upgrade your ship, get more ships. It was pretty good, there was also like an arena where you could fight stronger ships. Pretty good game.

Honestly I think a big issue with a lot of pirate games is creativity. Its almost impossible to play uniquely or do pirate ship and captain dress up uniquely. Even Yahtzee talked about it in his review of skull and bones where every pirate was dressed in a coat and tricorn. When you COULD get way more interesting with it. Like unironically Total War Warhammer has some of the best and most unique pirate gameplay I've ever seen and I wish more games were as bold.

Huge issue with Sea of Thieves combat. If you get surprise attacked, it doesn't matter how much better you play than the opponent, you will lose, or at least have a very unsatisfactory draw. Story time: I once was selling cargo and hear cannon fire at the shore. Two dudes who had just arrived were shooting at my moored ship. They only got 3 shots in by the time I boarded them, but there was no saving the ship by myself at that point. So I went to fight them. I beat them both... but they had a ship and I didn't, so they could continue respawning over and over. I had to steal their ship and crash it into island after island until it took enough damage to start sinking, all the while fighting both guys as they respawned over and over. When their ship finally took enough damage from all the crashing and sank, I "won", but didn't have a ship myself, so I too had to give up and respawn anyway. There SHOULD be some way to win against bad odds if your skill is high enough. But no, surprise attack is the first and last factor in any fight. TL;DR. I spawnkilled 2 guys at the same time for 10 minutes straight, but still lost because they got the first punch in.

Too be fair, if you let them get the drop on you that's kinda your fault, and a sneak attack is highly advantageous in any situation. That said, there should probably be a way to just make their ship into your ship if you manage to make everyone on the ship dead in a certain time frame or something. Never played it much, but that seems like a pretty essential thing for any pirate game, being able to take over a ship and win without sinking it.

But if after falling victim to the surprise attack you still win the fight the game still says "sorry, go respawn". That victory means nothing. Seriously imagine this situation in any other game and you'll get my point: Dark souls has lots of ambushes that are made to kill you. But if you survive the initial surprise attack and play well enough, you don't have to respawn.

@@germanbrandeburgo5925 Sea of Thieves is a coop game. It's not meant to be played alone. When we leave our ship, there's always someone who has to regularly check on the horizon. Also, If you see noone on the horizon and on the map, you have at least 5-10 minutes until someone shows up. And yes, you can still win surprise attacks like these. It takes some time to learn, but with enough skill, you can easily sink their ship. The key is to use your surroundings and to be strategic about it. Don't just board their ship. Look for a cannon on the island, get a keg, snipe them from the bushes, whatever. One person distracts the enemy, the other brings back the ship.

Holy shit dude you’ve just unlocked so many Sid meyer’s pirates memories for me oh my god I loved that game

This is one of those videos made to only be watched once, while simultaneously begging you to watch it over and over and over again due to how perfectly crafted it is

I played on a shitty mod for Ark that released as a game preview called *Atlas* … I genuinely feel like the pvp server I played on was the coolest shit ever. We made alliances with real players who had big “companies” because there were some French dudes on the server who were going around sinking everyone’s ships… The big American group rallied 25 people from the sever including our company just to go and take down their heavily guarded port/stronghold. That was the most insane fight I’ve ever seen. Ships were obliterated by cannon walls and mortars but our guy tamed a dragon and other monsters to siege them. After we beat them, a few days later we all agreed to team up again for the kraken boss fight and the hydra boss. It was so epic. Unfortunately the alliances turned sour after a while and things became really complicated and the two powerful groups were going to wage war against eachothers islands and we were stuck in the middle of the alliance. Half of our group liked one side and the other half was in debt and liked the other side. It was so cool but also tough lol. Our island was surprisingly never taken over until we left the server. That was a fun experience. I wish Atlas got updated and fixed so more people could enjoy it. It is is a bad game I know, it is just a copy and past of Ark with ship combat… but when your on a big community server it can be absolutely wild. Another thing, you could trade in that game too and if you were spotted by a pirate ship that wasn’t your ally you were seriously in for it. 😂

I was lucky to have a friend let me play using their beta code and thar very first experience, sailing with a crew of 3 other beta testers who were just as fresh to it as I was, going to Devil's Ridge to dig up our first chest, and ending our little session in a tavern with some grog and shanties... that is was sold the game to me. Over 6 years later and though it has its rough patches, I still find myself coming back just for that freedom it gives.

it's interesting watching multiple people on the same topic. because one will express how it's incredibly fun to hunt people down and loot them, and the other will talk about how many sweaty gamers will go after essentially anyone who's just trying to have fun with whatever quests.

the true way to play sea of thieves is hop on boat with friends, get lost, run into three fights run into warship(waste all ammo trying to kill it) while in small boat and only touch land after running entirely of supplies.

video title answer: because of the PVP aspect, new playes cant get anything done because players who have no life keep killing the new players (yes im salty about this) and you cant really play this game solo as a new player ebcause you constantly get attacked by larger ships that have several players on it, firing several cannons. so the new players give up on the game, because they cant progress the game! 12:09 and this is happend to me alot and made me quit the game...show up with soem freshly dug up loot...and i get sunk on the island where i was going to sell my loot...

Nothing will ever beat Pirates of the Caribbean Online

in sea of thieves you can find pretty valuable loot by going to small islands by finding skeleton captains, ocean crawlers, messages in bottles, and even random tresure scattered around too sometimes.

And to this day, Black Flag is still the best Pirate game. The feeling of sailing the high seas, the naval warfare, the brutal land combat. Nothing will ever come close as shown by Skull and Bones.

I have to say that black flag is a true wonder to play. I played it late but had lots of fun but I never put time into it, life was moving faster. I got all my teeth removed this January and because of all the news surrounding the new pirate game flop I bought the collection with black flag for the switch so I could play it anywhere and just explore and have fun with the game. It truly does have a lot to keep you occupied especially when you can’t sleep or are in pain etc. 10/10 would recover from surgery with it again.

Since sea of theives is getting a Huge update like adding running across harpoons hoard bombs more weapons etc might be a good time to retry for people who still dont play
