Which minigame is most fun?

[DJ1]

which minigame do you believe will be most fun?

In the following order - best to worse:

Ship to Ship combat
Land based combat
swordfighting
dancing
sneaking

Don't get me wrong though, dancing is a blast, and I find it MUCH more enjoyable to sneaking (which is not bad in it's own right). So don't think that just because it's all at the bottom that it's not fun.

I liked running down the criminals and other assorted badguys because you have to duel them. It's a little different than the shipboard duels, and I though it was fun. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />

I hope the fencing isn´t just hitting the attack keys as fast as you can like in Pirates! Gold, but you can actually react to the action of your opponent.

Intresting....

The sneaking was kind of refered as booring in a preview. It seems like they havent managed to get that minigame 100% right.

However. How long time does it take to sneak into town?

If it takes 5 minutes then the sneaking can become pretty annoying I guess..

Nice that you rate the ladbattles so high cause in the original those were pretty booring.

I don't have a problem with the sneaking. It can be hair raising at times, but to be honest, I don't have a need to do it very often. The occasion in game where I need to do it does not arise very often. But then, I don't play on swashbuckler level <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

how fun are the minigames in SM Pirates compared to original pirates?

I am one of those who found the minigames in Pirates pretty average. But since3 the rest of the game is so fantastic it doesnt matter. It rocks anyway.

Ah the fun of the challenge in sneaking is to edge up quietly behind a guard and knock him out before he realizes you are there! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

And Grim, you'll be able to gauge your opponent's actions in swordplay - it does get more difficult as you rise in the levels, which makes reacting to them a lot harder. But you'll have a range of reactions to use, not just one key to bang. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />

To me, the whole game is made up of `mini-games`. There is the swordplay, the crew management, the building up of your fleet, the land combat, the dancing... I find it to be a great mix of minigames, put together in an open ended format that really encourages replay. Hehe- was that a soundbite or what?

I find the game to be as fun as the original, if not more.

I like the land battles, and the intensity you feel when you know you have a worthy enemy, but also that if you defeat that enemy, you have even more gold waiting for you. This is the best feeling. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I think the sea battles will be best, but the dancing may be good with the right wench. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="8)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Oh, so I did in the old one, but the reactions were somewhat lagging behind, so blind hitting slash and thrust, upward, middle and down was the only reasonable way to win. I hope that has changed, the lagging part, I mean.
