  i played this game years ago and enjoyed many hours doing it and completed the story a few times.the steam version is unfortunatly unplayable the game freezes your computer when the load screen comes up.and even when you manage to get past the initial freezing problems following the storyline from highrock govenor 2nd mission escorting ship to tendales when you enter tavern to collect your payment your stuck as every time i tried to exit game froze on trying to load outside.its a major plot point in story and cant be avoided.i am most dissapointed that steam has allowed another old favourite onto thier platform without making sure it worked. a nine pound and change ripoff.

  This game was very enjoyable for me when I was smaller, but unfortunately all it does is glitch everywhere. The screen becomes a mess of flickering storefronts and white daggers of light that shoot across the screen, which basically gives you epilepsy. Basic example of what to expect: https://www.gog.com/upload/forum/2015/04/d0c69ecb45e3fae361fc90c45f73d6bec0f8e17f.jpg The game is good. But it's unplayable. Don't bother buying it as there isn't a fix for these glitches. You're better off getting it on disc.

  Glitchy graphics, multiple bugs, loss of original font. Shame really, I was looking forward to playing this again.

  Fascinating game. It was great years ago, and I finished it again with great pleasure nowadays. And that's not a call of nostalgia. There are many old games which didn't age well, but I can't say such a thing about this one. Yes, it's graphics will not impress you these days and some gameplay mechanics are rather old. But the game brings an enthralling non linear story, great music and atmosphere as well as interesting albeit little clunky gameplay. The game is 20 years old, but it has unique walkthrough for 4 different nations and unique dialogs for all characters, not just secondary ones, but even unimportant ones. For example, there is no copy-cat tavern keepers or store owners with standard phrases. Each one has his own character, story or even quest. And a word about quests. There is no copy-paste quests as well. Each one is unique and there is a lot of them. Believe or not, but it is the only game where I still remember the names of most of the characters after so many years. Another important note. The game is hard. And like most of old games it doesn't babysit you. What does it mean? - no markers, no arrows, no quest trackers, no tutorials, no tips, no highlighted characters and popping names above their heads - nothing. You launch the game, watch small intro, start in an english island and that's it. What should you do, whereto should you go, how to play at all - this is up to you to discover. In fact, years ago it wasn't a problem and such gameplay even was considered as rewarding, but for those people, who nowadays needs dozen of markers to choose proper door among three ahead, this game may cause cultural shock. IMPORTANT NOTE: you may notice numerous negative reviews here. Most of them are from people who either didn't even have a chance to launch the game or had serious technical problems. I suppose that devs should more clearly describe system requirements for Steam version of the game. They added note about graphic cards, but maybe version of OS also matters, and newer versions may also cause troubles. Because [u]I played Steam version on Windows 7 with GeForce card and encountered no bugs, crashes or freezes.[/u] Only few small and harmless graphical glitches like in old version years ago.

  [h1]“...whatever you do, don’t look back!” “Why not?” “Because I just did! Run faster!”[/h1] ~Sir Terry Pratchett / Nation. Ah, [b]Sea Dogs[/b]... My old enemy. We meet again... No, seriously, I tried to like this game since [b]2000[/b], when it was released for the first time. Back in [b]2000[/b] it was kind of a big deal, since it was one of the early attempts to make fully [b]3D[/b] version of good ol' [b]Sid Meier's Pirates![/b], the game that was ported to many system and loved by millions of people around the world. [b]Sea Dogs[/b] offered us the experience pretty close to what [b]Pirates![/b] used to offer. Maybe a bit less ambitious and more story-oriented, but still pretty cool. And, of course, what used to make the game especially cool, it came with pretty awesome [b]3D[/b] graphics. Having detailed models of different ships in proper [b]3D[/b] in the middle of animated sea, looking at all those awesome sea battles, traveling through cities by foot... it felt awesome. That's probably why, even though it was developed by a Russian team. the game didn't have any problems with finding the publishers. European version was published by [b]Ubisoft[/b] (who'll later make their own sea-oriented games), while the US one was published by [b]Bethesda[/b]. Unfortunately, there was a huge problem with [b]Sea Dogs[/b]. The problem was... it was a broken mess. Yeah, [b]Bethesda[/b], the broken mess... The irony is strong with this one. Long before [b]Fallout 76[/b] there was [b]Sea Dogs[/b]. And boy, oh boy, did it suck... In Russia, the game quickly got the cult status. But that's just how things work there. Both Russian and German gamers just [i]love[/i] suffering through half-broken stuff as long as they believe that the initial idea of the game worth their time. That's how it works in those countries. You need to be an adept of a certain Zen to enjoy this kind of stuff. Me? Nope. Never. The biggest problem with [b]Sea Dogs[/b] as a game was lack of the proper journal. I mean, I'm OK with the old school. I remember the times when we used to draw maps and take notes by hand. The problem is – even though [b]Sea Dogs[/b] offers you the four different sides to join, most of the time it doesn't really bother to tell you where to go and what to do. You just walk around, talking with people on streets in hope to trigger some possibilities. Now imagine when the most important [b]NPC[/b] in the game... just isn't there. Just because. I mean, why not? Screw you, player! You've just wasted hours of your life looking for somebody who isn't even there! Served you right! And guess what? This exact problem wasn't even in the initial release. It was added in the latest patch, which is included in [b]Steam[/b] version by default. Because [i]that's[/i] how we roll in Russia! We [i]break[/i] our games in updates instead of fixing 'em! [i]That[/i] sounds like a nice thing to do, right? Of course, it was just a simple example. [b]Akella[/b] (Russian publisher who brought the game to [b]Steam[/b]) didn't even bother to make the game playable in the latest re-release. As the result, it comes with all the original problems and more. And boy, oh boy, there's a lot. From technical issues (the launch issues, freezes, crashes, even broken saves, it's all there) to game-breaking bugs on every corner. By purchasing this version you get the whole set. Why? Because [b]Akella[/b] hates you, that's why. Technically, [b]Sea Dogs[/b] isn't the longest game out there. Sure, making money and building up reputation will probably take a lot of time, but story itself isn't that long and every “campaign” comes with only a few major quests. The problem is – every single one of them comes with tons of bugs, most of which can easily break your entire playthrough. Heck, even the final goals are bugged! Because again, [b]Akella[/b] hates you. Should I tell you that learning about the fact that your playthrough was bugged after wasting hours on grinding and re-writing all the saves isn't the most enjoyable experience in this world? But that's just how [b]Sea Dogs[/b] work. *Sigh* I know I sound like a hater. And I think I may be one. But the funniest thing is... I always wanted to love this game. As a [i]huge[/i] fan of [b]Sid Meier's Pirates![/b] since forever, I always wanted to enjoy this game. Unfortunately, this game never really wanted me to enjoy it. It never really gave me a chance. Every time I tried to enjoy it, it punched me to the face. Wasting hours of my life you to get into yet another game-breaking bug sure wasn't fun back in the days. But I really, [i]really[/i] hoped that when [b]Akella[/b] will bring the game to [b]Steam[/b] in [b]2018[/b], they'll also fix at least the most infamous bugs. At least in the main quests. But nope. The pain is real like never before. Everything that can be wrong with this game [i]is[/i] wrong with this version. So, can I recommend it for those, who still didn't play the game? Heck, no! Shiver me freakin' timbers, mateys, this game is a rotten pile of me monkey's poop! For those, who wasted hours on [b]Sea Dogs[/b] back in [b]2000[/b] and still remember every single step and every single “trap” (speak with [i]this[/i] [b]NPC[/b] before speaking with [i]that[/i] one, because doing it in the wrong order will break the game) it may worth buying on sale for nostalgia purposes. For everybody else? Trust me, you don't want [i]this[/i] kind of pain in your life. Even for free. If somebody will ever offer it to you as a gift? [i]Run for your life![/i]

  The steam version doesn't work, don't waste money, there is no refund. Buy this game elsewhere, the game itself is quite nostalgic and good.
