how dare thee to call Monkey Island 4 one of the greatest pirate-games ever?
Me ol’ Chumbucket, that game was the DEATH of this greatest series ever made.
Arrr!
Holy shit Spoony, making a snide comment like that about Zelda is pure bullcrap. No doubt the reason a sizable amount of your audience exists is because we consider you someone who actually has some level of respect for his audience, at least give us a Vlog on how you arrived to such a conclusion about the series.
Quite a few fans of the series actually deplore Majora’s Mask and Wind Waker simply for the fact that they ARE so different, bear in mind we are still talking about some of the most acclaimed games ever here. The only 3D Zelda game that can even be considered ’stale’ is Twilight Princess (which is what people apparently wanted), and even that pushed the bar in terms of cinematography (something you should appreciate), character development, visuals and scale. You telling me that riding a Beyblade or sumo wrestling a Goron isn’t original?
What game series has less evolution than Zelda? I don’t know maybe MONKEY ISLAND, GTA, Total War and all of those random RTS games you play, Silent Hill, the old style Resident Evil, Dragon Quest, pretty much every fighting series (which is expected), every shooter series out there and… hell I might even strain to think after an hour of this.
Come on, blanket statements should be beneath you.
For the love of fucking god!! Why there are some many post mentioning Skies of Arcadia?? That game embodied the very concept of stupidity… oh and BTW the graphics weren’t that good, even for that time..
To everyone saying that he should have put Skies of Arcadia on his list, he probably forgot about it or he has never played it. Second, this is his list so he is entitled to his own opinions and if he doesn’t have it then he doesn’t have it so STFU! Oh, and about Zack and Wiki, even though it is a good point and click puzzle/adventure game, the game did not sell well and Spoony probably has either never heard of it or played it.
I’m enjoying this theme of yours. Not a bad accent either. :)
I thought of ‘Skies of Arcadia’ too, but I guess that could be a debate between ‘Air vs. Sea’. I don’t mind either way; no sense in getting riled over a mention.
Hrmm, since you spend a good chunk of the game traveling in a pirate ship and fighting sea monsters, could you consider Final Fantasy 1 a pirate game? Nah, but seriously these videos were great. Couldn’t think of more than one or two things to add to any of the lists, they just about summed it all up.
I would agree with Skies of Arcadia needing to be on this list, but I’m going to go even more obscure and vote for Xenogears because of the AWESOME desert(and later sea and air) pirates who you join up with and become your allies in the game. Okay, maybe it doesn’t come to mind immediately, but it still involves pirates, damnit.
Argh yee skirvy sea dog, I’m sure yee tounge has slipped from your rattling brain bone. Yee had forgotten the very best naval pirate game todate of the title of Sea Dogs. She may have not been the best, but she was a good one to be playin’ with.
The moment I watched this, I knew, just knew, that the comments section would be filled with people naming some tangentially-pirate-related probably-Japanese whatsitmajigger I had never heard of.
What about Puzzle Pirates, me hardys? I reckon it not bein much of a real “pirate” game might’n be a problem with ye scurvy dogs, but it is pirate themed. Y’arr, and most of the other activities might be a bit of stolen and reskinned clones of other games too, but pirates we be! Stealin is what we do!
Seriously, it is fun, even if a lot is a knock off of other games. Swordfighting? Puzzle Fighter. Fistfighting? Puzzle Bobble. Bilge pumps? Bejeweled. Sailing? Dr. Mario (Although, this is a bit more original than the other pretty well straight copies.) Poker? Poker. Some of the games seem original though, like brewery, or shipwriting.
There was a game released for PC some years ago called “Claw”. It was a platformer about an anthropomorphic pirate cat named Captain Claw who had his treasure stolen by some other pirates. The game had a variety of attacks and a pretty steep difficulty curve near the end, but overall was an excellent game.
Suikoden89, it depends on which version of Skies of Arcadia you tried. If it was the Dreamcast version, it absolutely got better and better until the ending. Wasn’t a big fan of the GC version, though.
Other M is the worst, most plodding, self-important piece of shit game of the year. Calling it. So it is twittered. So is it done.about 8 hours agofrom TweetDeck
Bah! I'll be too loaded with camera equipment to bring any awesome games with me to PAX.about 9 hours agofrom TweetDeck
For further context, even my brother thinks I'm out of my mind for liking it.about 16 hours agofrom TweetDeck
Once again I have to disagree with @thecinemasnob and the rest of the world. I thought the ending to The Last Exorcism was brilliant.about 16 hours agofrom TweetDeck

Also, this whole video review sieries was meant as a joke to celebrate “Talk Like a Pirate” day.

What?! What about “Rampart”?
“But don’t you build castles in that game?”
Yeah… castles on islands… islands under attack from PIRATES!!!

@Brian
May I ask if you don’t find funny someone embracing the negative of somethign then what were you doing watching Spoony all this time? just curiosity
Argh yee skirvy sea dog, I’m sure yee tounge has slipped from your rattling brain bone. Yee had forgotten the very best naval pirate game todate of the title of Sea Dogs. She may have not been the best, but she was a good one to be playin’ with.
pirates of the burning sea!
My favorite pirate game is Skies of ARRRRRRRcadia. See what I did there? (pokes) Eh? EH?!
The moment I watched this, I knew, just knew, that the comments section would be filled with people naming some tangentially-pirate-related probably-Japanese whatsitmajigger I had never heard of.
Lo and behold! Skies of Arcadia.
No love for Uncharted Waters: New Horizons? Bah!
Hear, hear!
#1: One Piece unlimited adventure!

Is skies of arcadia a game that gets better and better? cause i played for a while and it was pretty good but never “great”.
please answer this cause your opinion might force me to pick up this game again ^^

You forgot The Elder Scrolls: Redguard Adventures!
More of an RPG Adventure game obviously, but its different from the others. You are actually a pirate, and it kicks so much ass!
Claw!!
Motherfucking CLAW!!!!
Of course it does … Privateer was a pirate game … who the fuck wanted to be a merchant more than once.
