Third Seasons Patch is out....
J. M. Pescado:
It's playable now? JoWood is notorious for releasing buggy crap. They rarely, if ever, patch their crap. They are a blight on the good name of German engineering.
jrd:
Jowood is a budget label. Doesn't count.
Besides, it's Austrian, not German =p

Yes, it's playable now. I'd recommend acquiring the EP. Not only is it relatively bug free (some pathing issues, and a couple other small annoyances but nothing game-breaking) but they improved the gameplay. I've heard some complaints about the latest patch for the main game still having issues with multiplayer, but I can't be bothered playing with humans. Oh, and the AI still sucks at running businesses, but as a Simmer, I don't find the micromanaging a chore. At least in Guild 2, my characters don't usually go off and get themselves killed. :D
And I apologize- Austrian. ;) My point remains that it's not just American game companies. Microsoft's game division, for instance, doesn't seem to have these massive problems. Mainly because as piracy-insane as they are, they actually do extensive Beta testing with real players. Oh, and Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 was made by Atari- not only did Soaked not work from the box- didn't even want to install properly or run on ATI machines- instead of patching, they abandoned it. There were similar install problems with Civ4 and ATI, but not only did they have a work-around up the day after release, but the patch to fix it within a week.

Yes, Pirates of the European Seas, officially out in the US as of the 19th. You get to PLUNDER. And the workers for the Pirate Cove are Prostitutes. :D And if pathing is screwed up so that ships pile up around the counting house going in circles, that just makes it easier to pillage them, instead of chasing them around the North Sea. Once they've been attacked, they move on.
