Yeah, I did so much testing in the alpha and beta that I knew I'd never sell the game, so decided to pay the extra and have it on the HD all bristol and shipshape fashion.

The bbs needs a pirate emoji.

Was great to sail the seas with you, Lion; by golly you're an efficient pirate.

Apologies for bailing when I did, I hit the wall of three hours' sleep whilst fixing a cuppa.

Will be back on tonight.

Argh-hargh!

Jumped on quickly this morning before work to see if the Servers were back up and running (Rare stopped new players entering the game last night due to overload) and chose a single person sloop and to sail alone - do you get the chance to change this when you log back on?

You can't change the look of your pirate without losing all progress though, so pick carefully!

Haha - I assumed you wouldn't be back! Ended up on a slope with a buddy till 2am, at one point engaged in a four slope battle where I climbed aboard another ship and committed suicide by blowing up some gunpowder in their hold. It was worth it as it destroyed their ship and their treasure was stolen!

You rotter!

These posts sum up what I love about this game, like bobsta said, it's the stories that unfold.

Do bear in mind that SE5 can make Civilisation sound like a story-laden barrel of laughs.

Fair point.

I've watched some gameplay videos and it looks decent, but like all games like this, it will all depend on having a decent crew to play with.

Not sure whether to take the above as a compliment or a slight upon my somewhat diminished honour.

Lion told me a funny one whilst we were sailing the seas together.

He and his mate were in a two person sloop and had picked up a barrel of gunpowder. The barrels can be traded with the Merchant Alliance or used to blow up near or on (if you sneak them aboard) other pirate vessels. Anyway, they picked this barrel, left it on their deck and carried on their way. They sailed into a storm at some point and both went below deck to look at the map and plot their course. As they were stood over the map- BOOM!- they both died instantly.

A fork of lightning had struck the barrel and blown them to kingdom come!



I didn't get on last night as I was still mullered from staying up all night on release day, but will definitely be on tonight.

@ Brighton_Eagle it's true that you need a good crew, but my experience thus far is that the majority of folk on there are sound and up for a giggle. I have made more virtual friends playing this game than any other, I've a mate from Sweden, one from Denmark, two Canadian sisters, a French lady, an hilarious Italian gent, four laconic Americans and a salty sea dog from Norfolk, who told me I'm the unluckiest pirate he'd ever come across. I'm even friends with someone who types but doesn't speak, (s)he is well up for a giggle.

In fairness, a lot of these bonds were formed in the alpha and beta testing; there will undoubtedly be more twats on there now. The only one I've come across was an American who was jumping around the Ferry Of The Damned shouting 'F***ing n****rs!' over and over again. I would have reported him, but it was whilst I was showing my 6 year olds the game, so had to shut down quickly as it was coming through the speakers. Luckily they thought he was shouting 'funny knickers.' He's the only prick I've come across so far though.

The game is fun, but it's built entirely on the interaction of people and clambering aboard a boat of strangers can bring some great memories and friendships, so don't worry about just having a crew that you sail with. The random option is often brilliant too.

Excellent. I'm sold and will grab the game as soon as I can. I've a bunch of people I play GTA online with, and I'm suggesting they all get this game too.

Tonight has to be up there with the single most funny and surreal video game sessions I've ever had. This is honestly one of the best games I've played for a long time, so so good.

It was SO funny.

Definitely one of the best games ever made; pure chaos.

@ Reps AJ, he or she should be f'king proud of themselves.

The game is simply brilliant and brilliantly simple.
