Skip the second one, I keep picking it up and dropping it, the others were all good though.leady129 said:Might have to sneak the new game in between the first two and pray it doesn't completely muck with the cannon.
Uhh, which Prince of Persia are you talking about exactly? Because those two things you mentioned above never happened in the original, the sequel, and the Sands of Time Trilogy, all of which I've finished several times. Perhaps it's from POP3D? Never did play that, so I wouldn't know. I've seen game footage of Forgotten Sands as well, and neither of those two events ever happened in that game.Waif said:When I first saw Prince of Persia, it looked like a great game to me. Though after dying from a fall no greater in length than the character himself, I began to wonder if this kind of platforming game was for me. I do like platformers, but I don't like dying from incomprehensible and unrealistic physics. It would be like running into a wall from 6 feet away, and then exploding on contact. It just didn't make sense to me at the time, and still doesn't. Though if they have fixed these kinds of things, I might give Prince of Persia a second chance.
I think we're going to have to disagree on point 1. To me, such a major life-changing event that then develops the feelings for both of them would not be an easy thing to get over when she can't remember.Stripe said:Which I presume you're not if you missed his references to many great Authors throughout his videos; Even once, if I recall correctly, referencing Proust...Arcane Azmadi said:Wow. That reference to Les Miserables caught me COMPLETELY off-guard. That was almost scarily cultured.
1) I didn't say she was the one that got away, I said that she(through no fault of her own) broke his heart, which people actually get over VERY fast IRL, so the fact he was not whining and writing poetry is because he's not a complete toss and the writers decided against going into the American concept of love. And anyways, from India to Persia probably took a year on its own, let alone the time between getting home and the trip to Malik's kingdomWoodsey said:1) The game is set very close to the end of SoT - you don't go through an experience where you are in constant reliance on someone else, who then can't remember you because that didn't technically happen and then go "alright, she's probably the one that got away - better luck next time!"
2) Oh right, and where's the dagger in Warrior Within? Hmmm... I do wonder what he could have used to reverse time in Warrior Within...
Why, I do believe it was Farah's medallion which he acquired towards the end of SoT.
2) Well I have to admit, the start of WW felt so crappy I thought I'd leave it 'til I ran out of better games, and in TT you have the dagger again, so you could be right, or you could remember that in SoT the ***** steals your dagger and sword and leaves you her amulet and yet you're stuck without powers... it appears that in SoT it had no powers... therefore that was a plot-hole in WW which has now been filled by FS!
He doesn't, as you can see from some posts on FullyRamblomatic and even ZPs past, it was just a well-placed jab at an asshole.RMcD94 said:Didn't know Yahtzee hated films.
I'm nto sure about how much Farah would affect him. You can see at the end of SoT that he's broken heart when he walks away, but I'm not sure how long after WW is. It looks likes he's aged a bit. But while me matures greatly, I think he simply understands that he cannot have her. Hell, I've had girls that while we've liked each other imensely, we could be together (She was Mohawk native, and if a woman ends up marrying a white man, they basically lose their native rights and can't even live on native land). We saw each other many times after we realized nothign could come of it and while we were sad, there was an understanding and we didn't let it chafe us. It hit him more in Two Thrones when he saw her again after so long and his feelings came back for her. While the Dahaka was chasing him, he was set completely in survival mode.Woodsey said:He was never cold at the start of SoT, or particularly cynical. He was brash, full of pride and sarcastic. Basically, a teenage guy. When did I say he didn't remember anything?Celtic_Kerr said:The prince remembered everything, He didn't change to the way he was before. He could have allowed them to ransack the castle "For riches and glory" like when he first stole the dagger, but he deterred his father's army. He wasn't as cold and cynical as he was before.Woodsey said:The main problem was that the Prince developed massively over the course of SoT - and in this they virtually wipe that clean and set him to how he was before.lozfoe444 said:How often do you see character developement in games? It's important to any plot, but I never see it that much.
The reason he's an emo-asshole in Warrior Within is due to the Dahaka cahsing him for so long
Over the course of it he matured greatly, and he fell in love with Farah - something which should be visibly affecting him in this game. Even if they run with the idea that he's locked it up and ignoring it, there still needs to be cracks of it showing through. Christ, the pain of it should be ready to rip him apart!
Instead the Prince is a lot closer to himself in SoT during the earlier levels, albeit a little less arrogant. The fact that he doesn't change at all means that there's nothing much to like about him in this game though.
Again, his split from Farah that he had no control over (she was either dead if he didn't rewind with the hourglass, or she forgot who he was if he did) should be a major player in why he's got permanent sand in his vagina in WW, along with being hounded by the Dahaka.
