The Pirates Journal: News, Review, and Bugs- video blog

[Cannon Mad Dan]

A couple points to touch on:

The music is horrendous, yes. Good review.

The combat is pretty fun. The bombs are great, the guns are fantastic, and the cutlass rocks. I have no problems with any of them, but I don't like to use voodoo.

The skins on the gators was fixed, that was a beta issue, and you said you'd leave beta related issues out of the review.

The characters began to speak, too. Most of them, anyway. Beta issue.

If you're somewhat charismatic, you will find intelligent people to bring aboard your ship with you. Don't befriend people who you don't like, DUH!

I find the PvP fun. The goal is to be the most notorious pirate in the Caribbean. If I'm level 18 and I kill a level 5, I don't care. That bilge rat isn't as tough as me. I was in a Mayhem battle today against three level 6 characters with my level 15. It was funner than hell beating them up.

5/10 for the review, you overlooked a lot and much of your "problem" with the game was beta issue and user error.

Thanks for the well thought out reply, but I find that you are wrong.

Full version, not beta:
The characters only speak in the beginning of the game.
The gators still have undead skins.
sorry, but PWNED!

I can't believe the full version of this game is laggy... they still didn't fix the servers...

Yes, this game is very good. But I have a few draw-backs... well, one really and no one seems to be helping me out with it.

I keep on getting this bug saying that I get disconnected from the servers. Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried reinstalling it bunches of times, and I tried to open a port to the game from my router but that didn't work.

The update that's coming out in February, is that supposed to fix that problem or is there a patch that is coming out?

I have never heard anyone speak, and as to friends there should be some way to
eject someone from your own boat and the big flaw
random people just showing up on boats
4/10 for the review of the review
you overlooked a lot and much of your "problem"
with the review was reader error

the gators still look undead to me
