open-world pirate game

this must happen!

right?? with butt-sex side quests

seriously, i know there's a pirates of the caribbean game but i assume it's rubbish and "grand theft booty" just seems perfect and obvious to me

- contained environments like ports and islands
- open-sea random encounters
- start as cabin boy, end up as blackbeard
- general lawlessness
- if you're too cruel to your crew, they'll mutiny
- SWIMMING
- mmmmm booty
- guns
- swords
- frigging in the rigging
- clipper races
- OUTFITS

Sid Meier's Pirates is an open world pirate game, I believe (came out six or so years ago).

or twenty plus years ago (depending on the version)

Yeah but you know, by Rock* Games.. although I have to say that does look good!

Sid Meir's Pirates is awesome. The remake is super-addictive. It's less true open world I think and more elite+minigames in a piratey world.

how is 'swimming' a plus though? has any game actually made swimming a fun thing to do?

ecco.jpg lol

i bet most pirates didnt know HOW to swim!

what would you do about the long times between encounters when u were just sailing in a ship on endless blue water?

set it like Sid's in the carib, so the islands are quite close together and plentysum.
otherwise maybe random sea encounters, sea monster attacks, and make sure there are plenty of other ships.
also vary the water motion a lot, with the weather.

oh god a multiplayer pirate game would be awesome
