As many of you may know, the developers have almost finished work on Pirates!; its release date is scheduled for November 16th.

If you’ve followed the game’s progress, by now you should know whether you’ll be getting the game or not.

This poll is just a statistical thing, I was interested in. I hope as many of you vote as possible! :)

I'll wait for a little bit ; read some reviews / posts. If it looks good, I'll get it (though $50 is a bit on the high side for me for one game). I don't really like non-turn based games, but hopefully this one is different...and hopefully Firaxis won't release a patch 2 days after the game comes out. ;)

It all depends on what other people say!

Probably not. I already spend enough time working, and playing Civ3... ;)

I'll buy it, but it is really a matter of when. Since it isn't SW related, I will probably wait a bit before buying it.

I'm not too interested.

Interesting to note is that my birthday is on November 16. :)
Metroid Prime 2 will be released the day before, meaning that the game will hit stores on my birthday, and Baten Kaitos is also being released on November 16. Generally, November is the best month for games, and the best month to have a birthday in. :)

My computer won't run it but I will get it sooner or later

I would but I'm running low on cash so I can't :sad:

I'll most likely get it. Once I've got some spare cash of course. :(

I doubt it since I don't think I will be buying many games in the near future since I don't have the time to play them all.

Maybe eventually, but not right away

Yeah, I'll probabbly get it. The old pirates gamne is alot of fun:D Does anyone here have the old pirates? Still play it?

I'm sure I will, but then I just bought KOTOR last month (hey - it was $20 - it was time :))

My parents just blew a big wad on Evil Genius and Myst IV, so Pirates will have to come after a long while.

I think this thread from way back when should anwser any questions about if I will get that game lol.
post number six specificly.





oh yea I think this should be Implied but dont post in the thread that this links to as it is long dead. and will make that thread have a...


shamefull ending?

I got the game and it rocks. There doesn't seem to be any glitches or bugs from what I've seen. I played about 3 hours last night and it ran pretty smoothly.

Firaxis was smart about this game. It plays virtually identically to the original but with updated graphics. Some old features have been deleted and some new features added.

Overall my first impression is good about this game.

Yes, I also agree that Firaxis went smart with this game. Remakes should stay true to the originals, and they did that. That's why this game is so great.

I'd need to see specs for the game before making the decision/moving it up my christmas wish list...

I cant wait to buy it, but right now I'm to deep in the end of the semester to do such a bad move....

Here they are:

The system requirements for the game are: Operating System: Windows 98/Me/2000/XP; Processor: Pentium/equivalent to 1.0 Ghz or higher; Memory: 256 MB RAM; Hard Disk Space: 1.2 GB free; CD-ROM Speed: 4X speed (DVD-ROM required for the limited addition); Video: 32 MB video card with Hardware T&L support (device should be compatible with DirectX® version 9.0b or higher); Sound: Windows 98/Me/2000/XP compatible sound card (device should be compatible with DirectX version 9.0b or higher); DirectX: DirectX version 9.0b (included in game) or higher

I am going to get it, but not until after Christmas (just in case my wife buys it for me).

On order and I am looking forward to playing it! The original was fun.

Would love to get it, but my computer won't run it. Thanks for posting the requirements though.

Leaning negative for a couple of reasons -

1) I heard that you can only use one ship at a time in the tactical battles (there are several pirate games that let you manage multiple ships).

2a) Still peeved about no patch for Civ3 (the one that was cancelled before Civ Not-Complete was released

2b) The release version of Civ3 was not release quality

---

If I hear that the 1 ship battle issue is hardly noticible due to other features AND there are no major issues, I might purchase it...

ps: I was going to buy it on a whim last week when CompUSA had it for $40, but it wasn't in - they refused to give rainchecks and then when it came in later in the week, they said the sale ended on Wed.
ps2: I want the game to be good, but I feel that firaxis products have earned a more cautious approach than I used to give them.

If she does, your the luckiest man in the world!!!

Already have it, already playing it, immensely enjoying it... I had not noticed that there's a forum for Pirates! here on CFC as well... :/

I might get it but only after getting a long list of other games I want (like half-life 2).

A friend of mine who has the game is constantly nagging me about getting it though.
Vessilin (did i spell your name right?), if your reading this, I DONT WANT THE GAME RIGHT NOW.

The game is of esxcellent quality. I can obnly find one bug: the Compas seems to have East and West Reversed :gripe: but that seems to be it

Perhaps. Maybe.
