Sea Dogs: City of Abandoned Ships

I think the idea is awesome but the game is just not finished, its buggy and crashes regularly. All in all its faults detract from the playing experience and it is simply is not worth it. I wish developers would finish making games before selling them sometimes.

Everything about this game is so incredibly bad and boring. It takes the concept of starting from the bottom to its most extreme and requires you to do a bunch of horrible busy-work within terribly design mechanics before you can really enjoy and engage the game. It's a RPG so you start out terrible at everything. In ship combat your crew won't be able to hit anything and its designed in such a way that any or all hits against your ship will take out crew - and their experience with them. It becomes a zero-sum game where you take little or no steps getting better as you grind out experience against crappy pirates who still end up being better than you. The AI also is really bad. They seem to have two modes: sail straight at you or sail away from you. All the time they're continually shooting at you. You can, maybe, catch up to them if the wind is at your back but expect to sail into it more often than not and move at the speed of molassas. Until you grind out experience for your crew, you need to be point-blank in order to hit anything. Ground combat is even worse. It's a disjointed mess of button mashing, stamina management and holding down space to block. The more you get damaged the worse your abilities get. 1 on 1 you can easily dominate foes without engaging with managing your (extremely slowly) recharging stamina but more often than not you fight multiple foes and it becomes a game of holding down block until you have enough stamina to hit them once before blocking so more. It's not quick or responsive enough for the amount of enemies the game throws at you. It's incredible awkward and unsatisfying. If you're looking for a pirate game skip this one. It's more frustating and tedious than it is fun. All of the mechanics from sailing to combat are just badly designed and not engaging.

Как по мне - ГПК лучшая игра серии "Корсары" и всех игр пиратской тематики, чуть ли не каждый год возвращаюсь к ней. Собрал для себя коллекцию модов, по большей части графически, ставлю на версию 1.2.12 и кайфую. Никаких 1.32ат и подобных поделок я не ставлю. Играл на дисковой ( DVD) версии, потом купил в GOG, спасибо этому магазину. На Win 10 64bit, игра, купленная в гоге, работает уверенно, за 10 часов игры был один вылет во время абордажа, что удивительно.

В отличие от "Sea Dogs" русский язык при установке на Microsoft Windows 10.0.19042.1237 отображается нормально, — и в меню, и в диалогах. Но при переключении в другое приложение игра стабильно вылетает без каки-либо сообщений об ошибках.

For from perfect yet still somehow.. perfect - Akella's games are an enigma. Like a Bethesda or Black Isle with less resources, they manage to put out buggy, overly ambitious titles that manage to be greater than the sum of their parts. Combine that with good customer support, active communities, and endless and accessible modding and you have the makings of a PC gaming classic. Akella's games are a labor of love and it shows, and still the best, largest, most diverse sailing sim you'll find on the market without lashing your boat to whatever DRM-packed nonsense Ubisoft is popping out.
