I cant believe I was excited for this garbage. Time progress is awful: it is too slow, but can be sped up by zooming out... Space now only toggles the pause. This is just total idiocracy, all they had to do is maxspeed while space is being hold and normal speed (which we could set in PR3 and P2) when not pressed! What was so difficult about it?? Dont fix if it aint broke! Naval battles are the worst in the series: slow, boring and difficult to figure out. I did not think that you could make it worse than in PR3 but hey, at least you achieved something. PR2 had the best battle system and we told you that thats what we want but nooo. All our legitamete concerns were treated with the same response from the devs: HaVe YoU pLaYeD tHe GaMe? Well now I have! Graphics are terrible: on the surface it looks passable but everything blends together, I can not distinguish between different building and I can not even see which buildings are mine and which belong to the ai, not to mention that everything looks lowres, especially the coralreefs (?) in the middle of the ocean. Trading menu is needlessly huge (PR2 could fit it on the screen and was easy to navigate), this abbomination takes forever to use. Tying combat ships to captains, captains to famepoints and even randomizing captain stats is unnecessarily convoluted and annoying. All you had to do is take PR2's battle, PR3's building system, add a few extra features and nice graphics optionally mixing in some treasure hunts or some other fun activity and be done with it. Instead, despite the vocal player feedback, you went after your own heads: released this boredom and confusion simulator withthe most annoying mechanics ever in gaming history and called it a game! We told you what we wanted and you ignored us and it shows. NOONE should buy this garbage, just play PR2 and PR3, you know... actually fun games. I will be getting a refund this is just awful. I sincerely hope PR5 will finally be a good game after 10+ years!
