I don't like this either, BUT ain't nobody is gonna tell me that their story telling isn't amazing, especially for an open world game. They want you to progress the story the way it was designed, that's why you can't do wtf ever like in other games. You might think that this is a bad thing, an outdated design, but there's a reason why they haven't abandoned this for all these years. It's not like they couldn't do it, but if they do, you might miss what they want you to see, and for the main story, i am fine with that.
different strokes. i'm thinking i'm not as impressed with rockstar story-telling as are you & others. what i loved about rdr2 was the atmosphere, environment, & free-roam gameplay, which's what i also liked about old-school assassin's creed (never crazy about the missions in those games, either). afa actual story-telling, i preferred the first rdr (i know, go figure)...

myself? i'll be content with the rumored remake of black flag if it ever manages to appear. really loved the original...
 
So no Skull & Bones (lol) or Sea of Thieves. I already played Black Flag, so not that one either.

Despite being one of the more popular fictional setting, pirate games are uncommon, especially in the AAA space. I could also play some lesser-known games if they are good. I hear Sid Meier's Pirates is still the gold standard, so maybe I should give this a shot?

Recommend me some pirate games and I do mean pirate, so no game where all you do is control a vessel. I want to hunt treasure, discover islands, swashbuckle, raid ships, etc.

-Skies of Arcadia: Played it (not what I'm looking for. I want traditional piracy)
-Wind Waker: Played it (hate it)
-Assassin's Creed Black Flag
Keep an eye on crosswind
 
Many moons ago, someone on Gamefaqs recommended I play Suikoden IV for my pirate adventure fix.

Still yet to play it, but want to. Obviously harder to come by these days. How ironic, gotta take to the open seas to play the game.
 
Bought Sid Meier's Pirates (2004) and installed it. Will report back.

Pirates Gold via Dosbox still my favorite with awesome music.
 
Risen 2.
It's far from perfect and not as good as the first one, but at its core it has that typical Piranha Bytes charm and it kinda NAILS the feeling of climbing up to become a badass pirate captain and achieving things.

I was going to mention this one as well. I played it on 360 back then, so you can bet that framerate was quite bad, hell, I even finished the first one on it. But it was the typical things only this studio did that made it worth it.

I think PB is no longer around, are they?


That being said, it's a damn shame there aren't a whole lot of pirate games. So incredibly much potential. Especially so for a RPG.

I guess Anno 1800 kinda counts cuz it has pirates and you could technically imagine urself a pirate taking islands and destroying trade ships while u build ur empire.
 
Uncharted Waters 2 (it's on NSO now)

Sid Meier's Pirates

Go to an ocean of your choice and take a nearby boat. Congratulations, you are now a pirate! You can hunt treasure, discover islands, swashbuckle, raid ships, etc. Enjoy! The graphics are amazing and the mechanics are unparalleled to any game. You only get one play through though so good luck!
 
No, did that game ever come out?

As in you could buy/play it? Yes

As in leave early access? No

It was in EA for about 3 years with active development until they abandoned it.

You can actually still buy it on Steam but hasn't gotten an update in over 2 years now
