Reviews for "Black Sails"
i like it
i like this game its good apart from the graphics and how u move in the towns its good and ive figured out there is a save press p and pause the game and there is a save game part on it
hate it
horrible....
decent game. issues present
Found the battles to be fairly straightforward, but the boarding ability is rather difficult as the AI ships have a very small turning radius at close range. Ended up getting shot point blank 3 times before the board registered and lost because of it. As others have said, a more thought out UI would likely help the game out.
Other than that, pretty decent game, even if difficult.
Fun game, but a little buggy
It is very similar to Pirates, the nes/computer version anyway - haven't played the new one. This is not really a bad thing - I always enjoyed that game.
Okay, I have read some comments where people complain of the lack of a save feature - There is a save, you need to press P (for pause) first and then you can save
Also some people have stated that the game is too hard, and you do suck at the beginning, but if you upgrade your cannons quickly, you can make out pretty well and then slowly upgrade your ship
Bugs/cheats:
The best way to win every time is to upgrade your cannons so that you can shoot further than your opponents and then drag the ai ship to the border - if you position yourself perpendicular to the border, you can easily decimate your opponents from afar...and they wont even try to run away
You can also sail around with a crew of zero, frequently the AI will come at you with grapeshot ven though it doesn't have any effect - can't kill a nonexistent crew
The save feature isn't super-reliable, I lost my save one time after I got wiped out (by running into an enemy ship with a crew of 0 after I had already grape-shotted it into submission...oops)
Notes:
What I disliked about Sid Meiers original pirateswas the lack of a sense of purpose, I loved its freeform nature, but really would have liked some sort of structure. Missions, goals, anything. Freeform is a good thing, but the lack of clear goals (that I observed) other than to blow up as much stuff as possible before you die led me to lose interest in the game after awhile. Then again, maybe people like that, it's only my opinion...
I would have liked a slightly better intro - for example, the save feature was hard to find.
Other than that, I really liked it - fun game, very playable, nice graphics etc. Good Job!
