What Gamespot Users have to say about Pirates of the Burning Sea

  • Rating:1

    It's a poor copy of Sid's Pirate game. Poor outside combat. It's just a sad game. It's still Beta. Score 1.0

    * Character creation: Well it's not that bad. Still I think most of it turns you into a Pirate looking guy and that is a bit bad. And some of the colors don't seem to be working. And this game need more faces, clothing, ... Read Full Review

    A combination of all great pirate games and an MMORPG rolled into one.

    When I first found out about this game I was stoked and had to have it. I've been playing another MMORPG and had a difficult time shutting it down to play this. Now that I have it I'm glad I changed. At first I had di... Read Full Review

    This game is a refreshingly different kind of game! There's the surface game of shipfighting and swordfighting which is fun... then theres the very entertaining crafting game that is very well thought out and finally th... Read Full Review

    Exactly. Do not believe the hype.

    The good - FLS seems to want to create a good game. Unfortunately reality often clashes with creative imagination, which leads to the creation of games such as Pirates of the Burning Sea. I never had a problem wit... Read Full Review

    No doubt about it...

    Unlike an orc or an elf, a pirate is actually a part of history. And, now you get to be one or you can be a Naval Officer from Europe. This game has it all I mean it's got Super-depth, Super-graphics(Im using a 2 year ol... Read Full Review

    Keep moving if you dont like lag

    The thing that has made me quit playing Potbs after 2 weeks is lag. i got a pretty fast computer and high bandwith, but it still lags alot. Its almost impossible to have any big PvP attacks, because it lags to much. T... Read Full Review

    This ship has sunk.

    This game had some great ideas.... some wonderful ideas. It seemed so very promising. So very fresh - to feel as if you were in these times. The times and life of a pirate, or other nations. Where does this game fail... Read Full Review

    If You like to play a game that makes you use your head this one's for you!

    I have not played any MMO's, but this one looked very fun. So I got it and started playing pre-board before I forked over the money play on the start of the game. I was a little discouraged at first because there is so m... Read Full Review
