Game had some potential. But Rare decided to make game for little 5 year olds. Too many dumb down game design that really robbed this game out it's content.

If they would had took a more serious approach on some aspect of the game, it could added that progression that's missing.

You shouldn't be able to swim in anything other than calm water. When everyone's a U.S Navy Seal swimming like a damn fish in sea state 5, the respect for the ocean is just not there. That should never happen for a game that revolve around the ocean. It anything add some progression where you could swim in the ocean after some long grinds and progression through out the game.

Remove the ability to shoot yourself with a cannon.:why: what idiot thought of this? Think about how rewarding and challenging if boarding another ship was actually that, challenging. Think about the ship design possibilities of launching planks to create a bridge to board, etc.

The lead designer, or whoever make the final gameplay design decision over there at Rare needs to be fired ASAP. This could had easily been a classic.

It's not. People went into this expecting it to be a normal game. It sounds more like an online hangout with a pirate theme. If you go in expecting it to be a normal game you'll likely be disappointed because it's not that deep and it's more about a group of friend hanging out going on random adventures where they define their own fun value.

The story told in that video where he and his crew went to an island got the treasure and ran up on a guy and robbed him and sunk his ship then he climbed aboard their ship and they ended up recruiting him sounds interesting but that's more about the random circumstances of that happening rather than something the game organically generated on it's own.

It's like a box of Legos. What you do with the pieces you're given determines your experience rather than the pieces you're given defining it on their own. In that sense it's not actually dog shyt it's just not for everybody.
Wow.

Great analysis.
