looks awesome, def going to get this

Man sized Crab Monsters? This must be the Genji Sequel. I suppose they have weak points we can hit for massive damage?

You had me at crab monsters... I like crabs. But also the talk about the idol and how your actions can influence certain things to happen, I like that kinda thing. And I like pirates. Only thing is I'm pretty sure I tried a POTC demo for the other game and I wasn't much of a fan. A super evil pirate ship sounds pretttyy tempting though!

So this is what you were talking about on the last podcast. 
Sounds interesting. I hope some vids come out for it soon.

Pirate-based Action RPG? Yes please!
 
Of course, I felt the same way about Alpha Protocol before it started getting reviewed...

I always found the "Pirates" universe extremely generic and pretty uninteresting but if they can put some good gameplay mechanics on top of it and flesh out the world a little better than the movies do then I'm down.

I predict a very good looking one button game.

" Wait.. Pirate RPG"s?  I'm still not expecting anything good from such a title though. "

They have got my interest right now lets see if they can keep it.

Am I alone in this, or does anyone else think that the dichotomy between "legendary" and "dreaded" is just about the dumbest thing ever? Really, I'm curious. 
 
(And also, when you think of "legendary", are you picturing Barney Stinson saying it in his completely unnecessary, elongated fashion?)

After reading this post and hearing Jeff talk about it on the podcast I'm starting to look forward to this game!

I don't know why they have to divide characters in half with the moral choice thing.  Why can't they just put the energy into developing the character instead of splitting him in half.

Sounds fun, I've always wanted to play an epic pirate game that didn't have shitty graphics or poor gameplay.

It's published by Disney. It's made by Propaganda. "

Nice, still Disney will probably step in in case of anything outside the boundaries of common fairy tales. :( "

Uh, what? The movies already had crazy Lovecraftian monsters and skeleton pirates.  Plus Disney owns companies like Mirimax that made a little movie called Pulp Fiction. "

" Hooray.  WHAT THE FUCK WHY DIDN'T I GET IT? "

Ooooh, can't wait. Loved the first movie and i am fascinated to know what they will do with the fiction/world. Pirates of the Caribbean is not a bad world to set a pirates rpg in...  
 
And i kinda hope that they will have a Jack Sparrow like character in the games, that would be really fun but wouldn't be surprised/mind if there isn't.

Jeff, I want to know your excuse for why it took you so long to get your write-ups done?

It feels about 2 years too late, yes. Like saying "da bomb" in 2003. They missed the boat on the morality gimmick. Pun intended. "

You mean its not cool to say "DA BOMB" anymore? Omg..what have i done...   On a related note what the hell else would a pirate be if not those two. Moral choice is not going away, mainly because there isn't a way to have a game have infinite possibilities. Some choice is better then no choice. "

Never seen Pirates? You should at least watch the first one. The other two - meh.

Well any game that is based on a movie is automatically unplayable...save a few like GoldenEye or Lord of The Rings.
 
Either way, even if it's good I'm gonna pass. Movie games aren't really my thing.

Looking good...I've long thought a good game could be made out of the Pirates universe, if it was done right. And this is looking like it's being done right. 

Seems like it could be pretty cool

I don't take issue with the moral choice thing; rather, I think the moral dualities are named in a stupid manner. Can't one be both legendary and dreaded? Why does legendary have to mean good? "

They're skirting wordplay like famous and infamous. Problem is legendary has never been linked to positivity. Monsters are legendary, etc. But in fairness, most moral extremes in games have stupid names. A simple good and bad would suffice but then they wouldn't have a good/bad vernacular unique to their game. Its all branding. "
