hopefully a mod can move some of the PR3 Threads that were posted in other forum into this one.

Here is one of my reviews i had posted

Started a Adventure game, towns are in same spot from the second game, and newer graphics. Some towns do not produce same things as example San Juan used to produce wood and brick, not anymore.

So far the only tricky thing is trading. There is this slider bar to buy or sell and it likes to go off as im still choosing, or when I click on a item it takes a couple of clicks for the slider bar to appear and stay open so I have made some accidental purchases.

Another thing that kind of upsets me... Its nothing big, just the lack of flags to choose from.

Combat does take getting used to since at the moment I can use 3 (instead of 5) warships on the map...AT THE SAME TIME. weird right? haven't seen that for a while. (Since Port Royale) I kind of liked the 1 VS 5 combat. take a sloop of war and run circles around galleons shooting chain shot at each one until they cant move then switch to grape shot, kill the crew board and voila i have 5 ships to sell/ give to viceroy.. and you could call in your ships when health got low. this combat is very different but soon i will adapt

Another thing so far i miss, is TREASURE HUNTING. you still get map pieces, but no disembarking and wandering the countryside looking for the treasure.. THAT I MISS SO FAR. Why did they have to take that..... WAHHHHHH, oh well i guess i can get used to it. but the combat, lack of disembarking on land, and lack of flags is why I can't give it a 10.

the thing though is i have battled a pirate town and.... it is pretty lame, nothing like PR2 in combat, you land and your troops fight kind of like boarding a ship... and i have yet to have a sword fight, i seriously doubt it is in the game.The Devs should really think about putting those things into the game.

as it stands for me right now, I will continue to play PR2 for those certian aspects. This game will grow on me but it is not the classic of PR2. i am semi-dissapointed so far will update as i go along

I deely suspect DLC will add 'improved' tresure hunting and land battles at a later date, suppose we can be thankful they didn't code it in but make us pay for from day 1.

I played this at a friends to test it some before buying. And I will not do so.

It's still a fairly good trading game, but it's a bit sloppy comparing to PR 2 or others in the genre.

For instance.

Combat is semi automatic. Some actions that the ai does for you, you simply cannot stop. And having a battle you cannot fully control makes me jarateed :P

Like someone else said, raiding pirate hideouts sounded neat.. but turned out to be very lame.

Sloppy: When shooting grapeshots and chainshots, it's still the common cannonball that actually leaves your cannons. They just damage a different HP-bar. Nothing visually interesting about it either..

I usually like ship combat, but in this game I kept hitting the auto-resolve.. -_-

And one thing I cannot understand is WHY can't you order your own ships at the shipyard? You can only buy ships that are on sale. What if I want a sloop, and what's being sold is only galleons and frigattes?
Odd.

So.. yeah. No buy for me.
