    Spaniards Dont Like Me

    uh he eventually will set sail so if you camp outside vera cruz and help yourself to some galleons you'll definitely see mendoza (provided he isnt already on his way somewhere since the rumors arent always up to date), very rarely do you actually catch them in port even if the rumors say they...

    why this game sucks as is, and needs mods like I need oxygen

    erm ... yeah.... speaking of which anyone know of any good piratey games in the horizon (this seem a good thread and POTC the movies are shceduled for 2006)?? real life sucks, and all I found are these bargain bin games coming from smaller/lesser known developers.

    Buying an Import? How important is it to have the manual??

    why not get one from gogamer.com for $29.90 and get the boxed version? I don't work for them, and don't get a single cent if you do, but I've used them in the past and they have worked out for me. the thing is the ebay stuff is extremely sketch ("we're not sending a manual because it is in...

    why this game sucks as is, and needs mods like I need oxygen

    I'm going to go ahead and DISAGREE with everyone else and AGREE with slick. I don't care what they call it remake or sequel, as much as it was addictive and fun for a little while, there is no sense in doing a remake if you're not bringing anything new to the table. And it isn't just the...

    Is anyone still playing this game?

    yar addictive it is, in fact I had to uninstall it after my wife started complainin, and I had beat the game so many times (not hard to do, specially since I got good at dancing, oh well wish i was good at fencing too). despite all my gripes, it is still a fun game, but still feel bloody...

    No pirate duels if you damage their ship?

    Ya got it, cept for Montelban, mendoza, and that other clown (can't remember his name, as I deinstalled this some time back), those guys just crash their ship, cuz you cant sink em, and will trigger the fencing scene anyway no matter how much ya damage their ship.

    Are Site owners/Beta testers still in touch with the Dev's?

    Looks like ATI is already trying: <a href="http://www.ati.com/support/infobase/4731.html" target="_blank">http://www.ati.com/support/infobase/4731.html</a> Personally I think it is indefensible that atari is releasing KNOWN buggy products. As I posted on the atari forums, the sound problem...

    Anyway to speed up land battles?

    I don't think it's anything to do with your system, since the land battles don't appear to be 3D rendered but look like sprites instead. Anyway, the ship battles are the most graphic intensive part of this game, with the arcade scenes a distant second. Don't they kinda of limp to the next...

    Sid's Pirate VS Uncharted Water

    Yeah UW2 is good aint it. I think it would be hard especially now for a US game dev team to come up with as thoughtful a game when most of the money here is in sports sims and `shoot-em`-ups. The german dev outfits are actually promising they are big into the whole sim thing (sim pizza...

    Sid's Pirate VS Uncharted Water

    It's not just UW2, Koei made the decision to get out of the english PC sim business awhile ago, maybe shortly after UW2 was released . According to what I read, they are an independent studio and did not have the resources to make or market english versions, their standing in asian countries is...

    Sid's Pirate VS Uncharted Water

    For those of you unfamiliar with Uncharted Waters 2. It is from Koei in japan but they made an english translation same company who did romance of the 3 kingdoms, nobunaga. its dos game made in 1994 I believe. You choose one of 6 characters to start out with different nationalities in Europe...

    Problems with `Anti-Aliasing`

    mine works with aniso as well, and not FSAA. Gonna try not to play it too much until they release the patch or new radeon drivers, crashes every game before I get a chance to save on my 9600xt omega drivers (the official drivers stutter on 1024X768)

    Attention Dancers (Important)

    I bought both the boots and the slippers (I think they are sequential upgrades ie you must have the boots first). I think with the boots you have about 1 in 3 shot of pressing the wrong button and still making it, with the slippers maybe 1 in 2. It really helps especially when you're doing...

    90% average review vs. this forum

    there is no way this game with all these gameplay issues deserves a >9.0/90% average rating. That kind of rating is for games like Warcraft III. Sire/Milady I know Warcraft III and this ain't no Warcraft III. A lot of problems become apparent after playing for a while (ie more than 5 min)...

    A question about difficulty

    Your plunder has to meet a certain amount to progress to the next level. I don't know the exact amounts.

    did the official reviewers play for more than 5min????

    I actually really like the game which is why I have been so frustrated. My biggest gripes are: 1) the "slow `non-linear` speed time zoom in zoom out sailing" bug thing even if it is intentional for careful manuevering as someone suggested. By the logic they should slow down the dances and...

    why is the game soooooooo slow?

    There are 2 bugs that I found so far: 1) The game paradoxically slows down when it zooms in, and speeds up when it zooms out. As I've said it should be the other way around to account for parallex error. 2) The vga settings and choice of ship interacts in a weird way. On maximum settings...
