Sea Dogs 2 was an underrated pirate RPG. Under the name of Pirates of the Caribbean on its original Xbox release. Beautiful soundtrack, fun gameplay, decent graphics for the time, engaging story and charecters. Criminally underrated.
Its frustating that the series is sooooo overlooked by so many. So many people in yt comment "Imagine full fleshed pirate rpg, why nobody make it?" Dudes, it was already there, since like 2000s!!! 🤦♂️
Also really sick of seeing Black Flag in every damn list. It's not even really a pirate game! It's an Assassins Creed game with pirates. It has none of the freedom of the actual pirate games like Sea Dogs or Sid Meier's Pirates or even Sea of Thieves!! Black Flag forces you to be a certain character and you can't deviate from that.
Even if not technically a game, I definitely recommend a Doom mod by the name of Pirate Doom. It's basically Doom meets Monkey Island, but it's remarkably well done and as funny as it sounds.
I wish there was another game like Black Flag. I was excited about Skull and Bones coming out but finding out that it's just a full priced multiplayer game where you're only on the sea has put me off. I would love a good story driven pirate game on land and sea which has an online element too.
I love Pillars of Eternity 2. It accompanied me while I was slowly recovering from lung surgery. It was great to do all this exploration while being mostly stuck at home and I loved the story, the characters, the universe... It can quite slow and there's a lot of text, but I didn't mind. Lot of games I loved in this video, thank you for all this nostalgia!
If you haven’t tried it, I really would recommend Return of the Obra Din. It sounds as boring as hell but it’s unexpectedly gripping and tough and really really good. Cheap too.
Because Sea Dogs exists and it blows Black Flag out of the water. Besides, Black Flag isn't even really a pirate game. It's an Assassins Creed Game *WITH* pirates. Zero customization. Zero freedom of choice. Ship's handle like damn speed boats. Can't choose to not be a pirate. You can't even have different ships!!!
Yeah, City of Abandoned Ships is my favourite. However all games in this series are great and perfectly balanced between arcade and simulation. P.S. In 0:53 there is a gameplay of first game. How could they not feature or at least mention it???
Corsairs 2 or Sea Dogs 2: Pirates of the Caribbean is the most hardcore epic experience you can get to shiver your timbers, your opinion is therefore invalid.
I highly recommend Deadfire. Won't go into a huge tangent but it's a lot of fun with a great soundtrack, gameplay, and visuals. I doubt it was Rare's choice to release it in that state. lol.
I would also like to add that for those who like Collector's Editions, Deadfire didn't sell all too well, so you can still get your hands on one if you'd like a pretty large statue of Eothas to display.
I'd rather take Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End or Legend of Jack Sparrow, than many of these. But AC4: Black Flag is definitely one of the best. Many pirated themed levels in games usually work much better. Like the ones in Sly 3 and Kingdom Hearts 3.
No sea dogs/age of pirates series?? Are you fucking kidding me?? That was like, the penultimate pirate game. Sailing the seas with realistic naval physics, swordfighting, crew management, quest, trading, full fleshed rpg system, land exploration, all you want from a pirate game is already there. This list is a fucking joke, lego? Fucking lego games?? Okay 😂
This video was suggested to me by the algorithms because the intro contained the words “strap”, “on”, and “peg”. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a nice video. You do good work. Just not everything I hoped for.
I had Sid Meier's pirates remake back in the day, feels like maybe 2005? I don't know what ever happened to it. Might look on GOG of TPB. It was a fun game.
I would love an open world pirate game, but have the option to pick one of the three large European empires and move up the ranks of their royal navies.
when i was a kid there wasnt much gaming-wise on Mac OS 7, but i did play the hell out of secret of monkey island 1& 2 and indiana jones secret of atlantis but never beat them lol
What about Naval Action. It is literally the best Pirate Sim out there. IDK Maybe you just don't know about it. But you should check it out because it is amazing.
You do realise that Unity is actually really good right? This isn't 2014 chief, the game does work now. Try playing it yeah, because it certainly isn't "rubbish".
Hey, your content always keeps us entertained! 🎮 Have you checked out our Corsairs Legacy free story demo? It's right up your alley if you're into games like Sea of Thieves. Give it a try and share your thoughts!
Tbh sot is still the best pirate game out there. no pirate game has come close to a true pirate game. i mean black flag was alright but you couldnt just board other ships whenever you wanted to and it is still filled with typical ubisoft open world guff. dont get me wrong iloved exploring that map but after about the 15th island it starts to get boring doing the same thing over the over again. not to mention it takes a good 3 or 4 hours to get your ship and in that time you have one of the worst tail missions in the entire series.
My question why pirate game developer not develop the story mode and open world pirate games develop just my question why all time pirate game online develop
@@schuldschuld6296 probably a year ago. It was an exciting looking game when it came out. The problem with it is there's no substance to the gameplay loop. I think the engine and the overall design of the game could be implemented to greater effect as an RPG or survival adventure game.
@@schuldschuld6296 honestly, the reward's just not there to keep me interested. I have fun progressing through games. I feel like most people do as well. There's just no progression involved other than cosmetic trinkets which really don't do anything for me.
@@ClappOnUpp I get that completely, the game is mostly based around the progression of one's own skills in the world and not the items you have. There is like you said progression through cosmetics though leveling up does grant more opportunities for greater amounts of gold and unlocks for some very nice accessories
Rockstar Games needs to make a pirate game
Yes yes and yes with all the detail of rdr2
bars
Fax
True.
The older Rockstar, NOT later 😎
Black Flag's gameplay with Sid Meier's open ended concept would be the perfect Pirate game
That would be a wet dream!!!
Yes very much so
It may exist soon...
@@centidyn1482 got any intel on that?
i mean, theres a new ubisoft game coming, skull & bones, but its basically sea of thieves but with realism
Sea Dogs 2 was an underrated pirate RPG. Under the name of Pirates of the Caribbean on its original Xbox release. Beautiful soundtrack, fun gameplay, decent graphics for the time, engaging story and charecters. Criminally underrated.
Yes man the best game!
Its frustating that the series is sooooo overlooked by so many. So many people in yt comment "Imagine full fleshed pirate rpg, why nobody make it?" Dudes, it was already there, since like 2000s!!! 🤦♂️
Still my favorite Pirate game ever.
Yep. This list is garbage for not even giving it a mention.

If you can play it, it's a game. Problem. Solved! :)
(Don't worry, I know what you mean)
Yesssssssssss
is it still FPS or is it adventure?
Honestly I would love to see a Black Flag 2.
They’ve really dropped the ball on skull and bones. We’ll see how it turns out though.
Who wouldn't
tbh im still playing black flag to this day lol
Won’t happen
Sadly
I wish there was another game like Black Flag. I was excited about Skull and Bones coming out but finding out that it's just a full priced multiplayer game where you're only on the sea has put me off. I would love a good story driven pirate game on land and sea which has an online element too.
Yeah i have just played in two beta's this year of the game and i am not buying it. I was excited for it. Not anymore
I love Pillars of Eternity 2. It accompanied me while I was slowly recovering from lung surgery. It was great to do all this exploration while being mostly stuck at home and I loved the story, the characters, the universe... It can quite slow and there's a lot of text, but I didn't mind.

What a great game
Couldn’t agree with number one more. Still play that game to this day. Over and over.
12:27 You should have mentioned that the remake allows you to change to the older visual style at almost any point of the game.
American here, I've always said Caribbean the same way you do, I think its mixed.
Risen 3: Titan Lords should definitely be one that would put in a top 10 who doesn't want to be a voodoo pirate that can turn into a parrot
I honestly loved all of the risen titles
How black flag isn’t ranked number 1 on here is insane. Literally the perfect pirate game, with a few sprinkles of assassins creed thrown in it
Sea of thieves is #1
Because Sea Dogs exists and it blows Black Flag out of the water. Besides, Black Flag isn't even really a pirate game. It's an Assassins Creed Game *WITH* pirates. Zero customization. Zero freedom of choice. Ship's handle like damn speed boats. Can't choose to not be a pirate. You can't even have different ships!!!
@@_-_CrimsoN_-_ the amount of stupidity in your comment is staggering
Sea Dogs, aka Age of Pirates, aka Pirates of the Caribbean (has nothing or next to nothing to do with the movies) deserves to be on the list!
Yeah, City of Abandoned Ships is my favourite. However all games in this series are great and perfectly balanced between arcade and simulation.
P.S. In 0:53 there is a gameplay of first game. How could they not feature or at least mention it???
I was just about to leave a comment that the original Sea Dogs was better than most games on this list.
I know right?? What a dumb list
Corsairs 2 or Sea Dogs 2: Pirates of the Caribbean is the most hardcore epic experience you can get to shiver your timbers, your opinion is therefore invalid.
Oh yeah! Here we go, Pirate time!
The fact that Overboard! on the PS1 isn't on this list is a travesty.
Honestly had a lot of fun with Atlas once I got myself and friends/viewers a private server. ACIV is still my favorite pirate themed game, though
No Uncharted Waters for the snes? That game was so good
can't believe you went for "I'm the swashbuckling Peter from TJ" when "I'm Peter ARRR-stin from TJ" was RIGHT THERE
Sea of Theives and Sid Meier's Pirates! are definitely my favorite pirate games out of all of these.
No pirate game or any adventure point and click game will ever come close to the awesomeness of the Monkey Island series.
Has anyone ever told you that your puns are physically painful? Because your puns are physically painful.
I highly recommend Deadfire. Won't go into a huge tangent but it's a lot of fun with a great soundtrack, gameplay, and visuals.
I doubt it was Rare's choice to release it in that state. lol.
I would also like to add that for those who like Collector's Editions, Deadfire didn't sell all too well, so you can still get your hands on one if you'd like a pretty large statue of Eothas to display.
Games to play while you wait for Our Flag Means Death to be renewed
that looks good, never heard of it thank you
I put more hours on pirates and the remake than any other game I've played. Love that game
Others: Sid Meier's Pirates!
Peter: Sid Meier's PIRATES!!!
Black flag, sid meier's, monkey island and sea of thieves: the best of the best in pirate games.
Take a drink every time Peter says "booty".
the best pirate game remains age of pirate 2 with the gentleman of fortune eras mod
OMG! Thank you! I have been looking for the name of Age of Booty for so long
I'd rather take Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End or Legend of Jack Sparrow, than many of these. But AC4: Black Flag is definitely one of the best. Many pirated themed levels in games usually work much better. Like the ones in Sly 3 and Kingdom Hearts 3.
I love all the pirate puns, matey
Its not a pirate game exactly but i recommend Port Royal 3...great great game
Cutthroats Terror on the High seas is the Goat of all pirate games. Wish it would get a remake, keep it the same just get it to run on modern systems.
I am looking for a game from 0:53 I can't find it anywhere and I don't remember the title.
Edit: I found it! Its "Sea Dogs" from year 2000
consider my timbers properly shivered
Wish that The Caribbean Sail got some love on here

My thoughts exactly
oh great, another episode of Ship Games For Anchors.
This video was suggested to me by the algorithms because the intro contained the words “strap”, “on”, and “peg”. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a nice video. You do good work. Just not everything I hoped for.
How’d y’all forget one of the only pirate series ? Risen trilogy was good and the pirates of Caribbean games were ok.
I had Sid Meier's pirates remake back in the day, feels like maybe 2005? I don't know what ever happened to it. Might look on GOG of TPB. It was a fun game.
I would love an open world pirate game, but have the option to pick one of the three large European empires and move up the ranks of their royal navies.
I’m currently playing Risen 2 dark waters 😊👍
played almost all of these, someone needs to make a new pirate rpg. skull and bones looks a like a huge letdown
What about Pirates: Legend of Black Kat? Best game ever!!!!!!!!!!!
Love this channel!
Like spike everyone!
Help the lads AND LASS out.
Tropico 2 was amazing.
although it got bad reviews and most people don’t like it I really enjoyed Risen 1 and 2! (Haven’t played the 3rd one)
Because of the yakuza pirate game yall might need to adjust this list soon
when i was a kid there wasnt much gaming-wise on Mac OS 7, but i did play the hell out of secret of monkey island 1& 2 and indiana jones secret of atlantis but never beat them lol
8:18 - whoever wrote "Ship-shape and Newcastle fashion" needs a pay rise! There's a man (OR WOMAN!) who knows their lore.
What about Naval Action. It is literally the best Pirate Sim out there. IDK Maybe you just don't know about it. But you should check it out because it is amazing.
SID MEIERS PIRATES GOLD?!?!?!?!
The cannons will be loaded, and so will I, arrr!
Return of the Obra Dinn?
"Captive workers" 🤣🤣
Pirate doom pirate doom
Honestly unity was one of the best to be honest.
I wanted to play black flag until i watched videos of ship sailing. Looks like the handling is way too good, like a car.
If it wasn’t then people would probably complain about it, although I agree.
Honorary mention for the POTC levels in Kingdom Hearts 2 and 3?
Still upset about Armada of The Damned being cancelled.
We pronounce our vowels the roman way, brit, not the FRENCH way.
I love blackwake
Sea of Thieves is number 1 :) so so much fun, met so many people I consider friends now
Sloop is a size of ship :) along with Brigantine and Galleon :)
...captive...workers...?
Slaves?
PIRATES GOLD for sega genesis/megadrive, PC and amiga cd
9:41 Objection: Speculation
All together now: "This is the story of Captain Jack Sparrow"
you forget about Naval Action...
So cowboys are next, right?
UNITY IS A GREAT GAME COMPARED TO THE LAST FEW AC GAMES!!!!!
You do realise that Unity is actually really good right? This isn't 2014 chief, the game does work now. Try playing it yeah, because it certainly isn't "rubbish".
Where the hell is skies of arcadia!?
Sea of Thieves… plenty to do but it’s pretty much a griefing simulator now.
Why isn't there a Pirates! 2 ?
Zelda Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass are also pirate-y games
Why is Skies of Arcadia not on this List?
my prediction for #1 is black flag
edit: well shiver me timbers
Now we have Quadruple-Ass by UBI. 😔

Can anyone tell me what all these games are on please since this guy isn’t really informative
We need a black flag esc game on oddesseys world
Does DKC 2 count?
You don't play as a pirate...but I'll allow it.

What's sot may I ask please
@@hippitymcstribbs4906 sea of thieves
Sadly black flag is still capped at 30fps on even the series x :///
Skies of Arcadia???
My question why pirate game developer not develop the story mode and open world pirate games develop just my question why all time pirate game online develop
My take away from this is thatmost pirate games are pretty bad lol
Making a video about pirate games but then not knowing what a sloop is kinda destroys the videos credibility
Bro why you dissing unity
👽
noice
MONEY ISLAND YAY.....
Is every assassin’s creed after Black Flag wasn’t all that the newer ones just got better graphics and other than that they suck
And my rqst plz story mode pirate game video l
No One Piece games!?
Sea of theives sucks. It always will.
When did you last play it?
