Why aren't there more good pirate games? Why is this

okay mister smarty pants, what kind of gameplay does a pirate game have?

game devs hate pirates

A lot of game creators like to draw from their life experiences and general knowledge when creating a game and its world. Very few people have experienced buccaneering as most piracy has died off. Plus pirates are almost exclusively men so you can't shoehorn your fanservice and cute anime girls into it.

you literally can. thats what it means to shoehorn something in. you can make a game elusively about a female-dominated pirate culture and nobody could stop you

What the fuck would it consist of? If you want to be realistic, a majority of the game would consist of sailing, cartography, ship building, and more sailing. I certainly hope you're not looking towards One Piece to be an inspiration.

>hurr durr video games have to be realistic
I'm sorry you were raised in a home where no joy was allowed

I'm sorry you want wizards dressed as pirates to be your main characters in a pirate game.

But seriously, yeah I didn't have much joy as a kid. It was just studying and beatings.

I just want to be a video game super powerful pirate captain who infiltrates forts, battles other ships, pillages villages, rapes wenches, etc. No superpowers necessary, but the mundane tasks of sailing don't need to be the focus of the game.

I hope you've turned out alright despite that unpleasantness :c

Dunno, for the same reason there's no good space exploration games I suppose.

Cute pirate girls are in the biggest selling manga of all time.

Aren't there two pirate games being made right now? I remember something from e3 about pirates

And it has nothing to do with the stuff >>389323781 posted. It's really just pirate-flavored shonen.

Pretty sure Oda knew about sailing before writing Romance Dawn though.
