Steps: - Make sure that the region, region format and language settings are the same! - Play and enjoy! This is one of the best entries in the series. The music is a masterpiece of gaming music. It's a hard game, and I had to become an adult to finally appreciate it!
FIRST THINGS FIRST: For the most bugs there are fixes available. The most severe bug is the Tenochtitlan quest dialogue bug, for which the fix can be found here, along with quest walkthroughs, maps etc: http://ageofpirates.wikia.com/wiki/Tenochtitlan_Quest You are welcome! Now for the review: My first RPG was "Pirates of the Caribbean" (Sea dogs 2) and, boy, I was amazed! I did whatever I wanted: trading, boarding, looting cities... Fast forward to 2008 and you have the same game, just better! The best thing is the freedom. You can do whatever the hell you want, literally. You are thrown in the Caribbean and just do whatever you chose. Gameplay: The game has 3 sections: Map mode, sailing mode and land mode and you are free to engage in any of them at any time (for land mod you need to be near land, for sea mod you need to be near sea). Land and sailing modes is 3d person, map mode is top down camera controlling your ship over the Caribbean map so you can go from A to B. This is the best pirate game yet, but beware! 1) It's graphic are old. I dont mind because of nostalgia but if you are used to newer games, this might be a deal breaker for you. 2) This is a hardcore RPG: no quest markers, no guides to where to go, no level scalling (for the most part), nothing! You are given the directions in the dialogue (and some in your journal) and that's it! You can fail quests pretty easily!
