Its not so much a matter of a fail, as a matter of Disney not wanting to get sued.

Graphics - Have ya ever noticed that the better the graphics, the more adult-orientated the games get? Thats why games like Animal Crossing are rated E (hence their nice, fluffy graphics,) while games like Mass Effect are rated M. Better graphics tends to provoke realism, violence, adult themes, or all three. Besides, lets face it, its a DISNEY games. They are a "happy smile fun land!" type of company, and hardcore, complex graphics at any rate aren't up their alley.

Censors - Exactly what TheHawke said. Numbers can be used to give away anything from phone numbers, to addresses, to even an age. And we all know what that can lead to.

The scary thing is, people as old as 16, 17 are giving away their Personal Info. to people they don't know. Sure, you can trust the parents and uncensor numbers. But 99% of the time, the kids just ignore the advice their parents and teachers give them. And then what happens, when kids are getting their identities stolen (which IS a major problem with kids on the internet,) and sometimes things even worse? The company that acted as the predator's medium gets the blame. And once again, we find Disney not wanting to get sued.

Lockon - Thats understandable, and I am behind your point. But with the creation of jumping amongst pirates, I'm guessing its just to make sure that all pirates recieve the same amount of damage, so its somewhat fair.

Pathfinding - It wouldn't be that fair if pirates could just stand behind a fence, or on a ledge, and fire away grenades without getting hurt. It takes away the challenge in the game.

I do think that they could do more with the graphics, games such as super mario galaxy or sonic unleased are made for everyone to play and they have great graphics that do not promote violence or realism. Higher quality graphics would be great also along with bug fixes that seem to cause the game lag to many many players. I do agree that Disney is a company that does not want to get sued, which is why they do not let us shoot other human enemies. On the note of their censorship they do this to make the game safe for younger players, although the number blocks tend to get bothersome due to the fact that it makes it hard to tell other players how many more enemies you have to kill. I mostly agree with you Del but I defidently think this game needs higher quality graphics along with bug fixes for the lag. Disney is a huge company and if they invest more into this game it can mean a major rise in memberships which will mean more money for them.

If I didn't watch the pirate movies I would probably think it was a message the developers were trying to send; at least it would make sense, don't shoot other people.

But since I've seen the movies, I'm actually going to say, I think the pirate code is just something the developers want, to challenge us. We're limited to the weapons we can use on the Navy and EITC, so we get a challenge... sort of.

Maybe the whole pirate code will come into play in the future? I don't know, but I'm pretty sure we can't shoot the navy for some reason other than them being people.

Disney simpily wants to protect their image with the public, true we use swords and grenades and daggers on enemies but pistols or guns are more realistic and they do not want to encourage them in real life. All it takes is one accident and Disney will get sued and lose alot of money.

I hope you realize Disney can't be sued for allowing us to shoot Navy. After all, if the rating was changed to T for Teen then no one could do anything about it.

You can't sue call of duty for being shocked about what you may see. It's your choice to play the game, and isn't required, so if you get hurt playing the game(other than players bullying you) you only have yourself to blame.

Anyways, if Parlay(sp?) was in the movies, I'm pretty sure being in the game only gives us a better feel for the game.

Besides, we don't know if we won't be seeing any undead Navy in the future.

To elaborate more on the subject, I mean that Disney does not want to get accused of encouraging shooting other people in real life. In example if some child tries to do so then says he/she got the idea from playing this game the parent might try to sue Disney accusing them of encouraging the behaivor. Thats why when you watch shows on TV like say WWE sometimes youll see messeges before the program like: Dont try this at home the people on this show are trained professionals. This is done so they can disscredit any law suites that should arise in a similar incident. Fact is that Disney just doesnt want to risk getting sued over something like this.

Then add a disclamer saying "Do not shoot people at home kids"
