Are You Getting Pirates!?

Civrules · Oct 11, 2004, 02:36 PM

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!

Chieftess · Oct 11, 2004, 02:43 PM

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

Zarn · Oct 11, 2004, 02:55 PM

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.

Silverflame · Oct 11, 2004, 05:17 PM

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

LLXerxes · Oct 11, 2004, 05:43 PM

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

Thrawn · Oct 12, 2004, 10:58 PM

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

Dell19 · Oct 13, 2004, 07:29 AM

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.

Wolfe Tone · Oct 13, 2004, 08:24 AM

Maybe eventually, but not right away

Darth_Pugwash · Oct 13, 2004, 11:33 AM

Yeah, I'll probabbly get it. The old pirates gamne is alot of fun

Does anyone here have the old pirates? Still play it?

Paradigne · Oct 13, 2004, 01:51 PM

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

)

CivCube · Oct 13, 2004, 02:30 PM

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

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.

Gnarfflinger · Nov 25, 2004, 08:27 PM

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

Rhymes · Nov 26, 2004, 01:18 PM

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....
