Why the fuck did they change his VA for the second game and then immediately change back for the third one? It's not as if Yuri Lowenthal would be unavailable; he does literally fucking everything.But god damn it that close up fat booty in the opening level Jesus fucking Christ my dick

Director changed. He wanted edgier vision. He got fired after the game bombed and the SoT director returned for the 3rd one.
>>315635861
This is the best Prince of Persia game though.
>>315635861
All I remember from this game is fun and ASS ASS ASS ASS ASS ASS
Also Giant shadow monster
I don't think it was that bad. It had the best gameplay by far and had some really good moments. I hated the music too but the good things about it like level design and combat are undeniable.
>>315635861
But WW improved sand of times in every way what are you talking about and you missed the only valid complaint about it
>backtracking
2 > 1 > 3
if you disagree you're probably a nostalgiafag who hasn't played the series since release
>>315637846
I'd say 2 > 3 > 1
>>315637846
1 had the best story
2 had the best combat
3 tried to have both but was nowhere near as good
>>315635861
Your thread reminded me of Devil May Cry 2, I had completely forgotten it existed.
Some metal pieces were actually quite decent. For example Military Aggression was a track that could be one of the tougher tracks. Instead it was one of the few fitting.
The platforming was actually a lot better, in sands of time even at the end you only had simple wallruns. The hardest part was in the prison where you had to hop from wall to wall constantly. Meanwhile in WW it really built up into having to chaiin different movements together.
If WW made a big mistake it were the bugs (PS2 had a bug that the final sandgate did not work, which was baked in your save). And oversights like after recovering from the sandwraith that you had to preset the middle hall into the mechanical tower configuration.I still dont get it how the dakahara changed his target with the sand wraith/human prince the second time you get to the end
>>315635861
Fuck you I like itAll PoP games are good.

yeah i like to think forgoten sand is not a PoP game too
>>315639120
pretty acurate
>>315639120
POP 2008 also just felt weird. You could wallrun a tiny bit whenever you landed on a wall. So instead if just jumping between two walls to get up you could, jump, wallrun up, jump, wallrun up, jump, wallrun up. Etc.
>>315635861
maybe this game isnt for you? not everything is for retarded persons. Go play AC games i am sure they are not annoying to you.
>>315638701I guess that was the point of the mask.A "second chance"
>>315635861
>Speed metal
Check yourself.
>>315640924
I know it was to give you a second chance but from the cutscene and description it would seem you would go back in time as wraith and help your old self in various ways with your new knowledge. And then at the end you would kill yourself to take in your own place. However by dying to the dakahara it is rather strange. Since you would expect the wraith you see as human to dodge the tentacles.The only reason I can think off is that you are playing the prince in the loop where the wraith is first created.
>>315635861
>speed metal
I mean you don't need to know all the various sub-genres of metal. But please, just say metal if you don't know better.

Point. the game was full of angst for no reason, probably to ape God of War.

Doesn't matter. The prince had seen some shit.
>>315636102
You BITCH.
>>315636102
Her ass was sweet but the ingame model was pathetic. The texture of her bikini was really poor. The bikini looked like a smeared out black bodypaint stripe. Kaileena had much better clothing. But too bad both she and assgirl both had shoddy models. In SOT farah had smooth boobs. But in WW it seems like they just blew them up and didnt bother to reposition to polygons. They clip into eachother and have not smooth at all.The artwork however was pretty sweet. Too bad they didnt put in highres pics of the artwork

Literally the only things I remember about this game, plus Godsmack.
>>315635861
you forgot Godsmack and game breaking glitches at the second last save point
>>315643804
Ah my mistake. Carry on.
>>315643528
Spell Effects and Armor Pieces are really bullshit arguments just thrown in to pad the list out. Morrowind only seemed like it had that many spell effects because each spell type had like four duplicates that did the exact same thing; and I'm not counting lesser/standard/greater, I mean they're the exact same spell, just with a different name.
And having gloves and shoulder pieces each be two slots is pretty useless. Why the fuck would ever just wear one glove unless you're role playing Michael Jackson?
How are the HD editions on psn? any game breaking bugs?
>>315643082

>>315644062
>Why the fuck would ever just wear one glove unless you're role playing Michael Jackson?
So you never played the game? You could enchant two gloves with different effects.
>>315635861
What's wrong with the controls or the traps? Also, are you really complaining about Downes replacing Lowenthal you stupid nigger?
>>315643893
>game breaking glitches at the second last save point
There are game breaking glitches everywhere. The infamous "Wraith Glitch" could happen at several different points throughout the game, and I experienced a glitch where the Dahaka chased you in a cutscene then crashed through a wall, and that was supposed to be the exit of that room, but he never crashed through the wall for me, so I spent like fifteen minutes trying to figure out why the fuck I couldn't leave before giving up and looking up a guide online and realizing I needed to start the game over. Because it wasn't just a "game breaking bug" that crashed your game but then let you continue after you reset, no; it corrupted your fucking save.
I suppose this is the point where some dipshit goes "HURR I NEVER EXPERIENCED GLITCHES," like that somehow invalidates the hundreds of people who did.
>>315644246
>You could enchant two gloves with different effects.
What was even the highest enchant value for gloves? I don't think I ever bothered because they had some abysmally small number, like 10.
>>315644485
All of the glitches were ironed out for the PS2 trilogy re-release, but get this - they reverted to the older, flawed code for the PS3/360 remaster.
>>315644062
>Not role playing as Michael Jackson

what was the point of the griffin anyway? He just popped up, I raped him and then he was gone.
>>315643528
Have you played the console version of Oblivion lately?
Grass draw distance is about 10 feet.
I can understand all the cutbacks in Skyrim so the console version didn't look like absolute shit.Skyrim was a bad game
>>315643893
>>315643809
>>315643550
there are only two songs in the game by Godsmack, and one of them's in the credits
>>315644601
Depends on the quality or the armor, but yeah they smaller value compared to other part. Don't know why this would change anything.
>>315635861
Dahaka was the best thing to come out of this game
>>those escape sequences
>>315645210
Because if you can't even put a worthwhile enchantment on a single glove, then it makes no difference that you can enchant both.
>>315644698
I like the series and i was lucky enough to almost never experience the gamebreaking glitches, so i can't tell for every one of them, but that specific one is still present in the PS2 trilogy re-release
>>315635861
I STAND ALONE~
>>315645418
>b-but it counts even if it's irrelevant
Same shit with skills in Fallout. Only increments of 25 were noticeable but hurr why don't they let us min/max that 0.02% accuracy per point in small guns.
>>315643689
Probably solitude but they're no doubt hidden amongst multiple buildings so the game won't crash
>>315645483
I played all of them on PC and never experienced a single game breaking bug.
>consoles
>>315636102
3DPD pulled this off fantastically.
>>315645628
Really? Because I remember Vivec being a fucking series of interior cells and loading screens. With at most 5 npc's roaming the exterior that weren't generic guards.
>>315645418
Because not everything can be super game-breaking effective all the time. And only the low quality clothes and armor aren't worth enchanting, if you can get nice little spell on that glove that you sparsely use, why not enchant it?

There's the HD remaster compilation, but apparently it's shit. No remakes please. Just go play em on your 6th gen console of choice.
>>315645719
When I first played WW on PS2 it took me like 10 tries to finally get around that shitty bug.
>Dahaka doesn't smash wall, thus no exit
>restart game
>you Sandwraith now, get fucked
>>315646220
What? I just recently replayed them all on PC and i had no issues
>>315646220
There are 'HD remakes' on Steam but are basically smartphone versions. Don't play them.
This thing actually really scared me when I was younger and first played the game
>>315639120
Damn, I've only played 3 and a bit of 2.
I'm gonna play 2 and 1, wish me luck
>>315646465
I get to first Raven man in WW and jumping over him usually sends me flying into the pit or glitches me in the air. Dahaka is a nighmare to run away from due to my frame rate triggering stuff too early.
>>315643082
>doesn't post the godly installer music

Come on, man.
>>315645483
Odd. I said I never experienced any glitches on the re-release, and I've beaten it numerous times, but I wasn't being completely honest.
The only one I always run into is this:
https://youtu.be/5ivK_Fzj2lY?t=3234
You're meant to reach the hole in the wall that the Dahaka creates, and it's no problem the first time you do it, but if you return to this room later in the game (you only get an artwork out of it) the Prince will not recognize the ledge as something he can grab onto, forcing a reset.
This isn't the instance you mean, right?

Can't believe I never knew this
Maybe it's just me, but that thingamajig he has on his chest is so irritating.
It shows up out of nowhere completely unexplained, it glows the first time miss Bitch Buttcheeks shows up and never again, and for some reason sticking it into a wall improves your health. I played most of the game and they never ever address it, do they ever explain where he got it or what it is?
I mean fuck, they had that scene in the beginning where he talks to that wizard/sage to ask for counsel, couldn't HE say something like "here's this magic turd, stick it to your chest, it'll help you in your journey or whatever". Done.

This pic made me realize that his horns are shaped like an infinity symbol.
Why did everyone hate PoP 2008? Disliking the mechanic where you cannot die is not a reason to hate the entire game.
I really, really enjoyed it, the art style was wonderful, as was the atmosphere and music.
The only real downsides I had were the combat. I had no issue with the no-death mechanic and I felt it made the gameplay far less tedious.
No, it was not the SoT, but it is still a good game in its own right and I'm so tired of people shitting on it for no good reason.
Did this take anyone else forever to do?
I really hope im not just retarded or something
>>315643809
So you only played the tutorial, I reckon.
>>315644485
I don't think anyone was exempt from glitches in any of the ubisoft games of that era, maybe Splinter Cell. And yet they were so damn good.
The glitchiest for me were The Two Thrones and Beyond Good and Evil.
Why does everyone bash Forgotten Sands? I thought it was an okay game.
>>315649397
You were high. Were you high?
>>315643420
No, you didn´t like it, which is not the same.
>>315649034
I disliked it primarily because of combat. it felt like total shit with no redeeming qualities.
And the platforming was just meh with no challenge but keep running straight and you'll be fine
>>315650760
I didn't mind it (besides the godsmack garbage). What really bothered me about the game was the shift in tone, and the dev videos of this douchebag putting his IRL tribal dudebro tattoos on the prince. At least they switched it up in the third game and made him more of a tragic character.

that thing in his chest is the medallion of time. Farah had it in SOT. It allows him to rewind time like the dagger. He throws it away in the opening of T2T where you can see dust float away from it as it sinks to the bottom.
>>315649034
shit combat, forced orb collecting, princess her clothing gets ripped but never completely removed (hello my soggy knee, why is there no equality on chest baring between SOT and 2008?). terrible fights and a bit overly sticky prince (seriously he sticks to any wall way too long)
>>315659609
Don't forget that console exclusive DLC ending.
And the ending was depressing.
But if it comes to graphics, the cel-shading of the 2008 PoP was beautiful. Wished more games looked this marvelously.
>>315649397
this puzzle was actually really easy. You could always plug in the next bar and go on turning it. You never had to go up a layer to plug one in, then go down again. You could always turn till you put one in, then go up, then put the next one in. Also as soon as you plug in the wrong one the guy starts screaming. The final light puzzle (for the super sword) was harder until you realise the damaged patches of ground told you where to put the mirrors
>>315649397
Jesus that guard screaming was really terrifying
>>315658503
>except voice acting, story, characterization, and music
Look at all that non-gameplay.
Sure "in every way" was an exaggeration, but it improved over SoT in every way that matters in terms of being a game.
Anyone who says that SoT has better gameplay than WW is either delusional or retarded.
>>315657665
It's like I said before, the only people who prefer Warrior Within to Sands of Time are people who were 13 or 14 at the time and were going through their angsty phase.
>>315660853
Or people that love good gameplay.
But hey, lets project your insecurity on others.
>>315659820
At that point I already forced that shit out of my mind.
Still SOT and WW both were amazing

>>315635861
It's not speed metal, it's butt-metal/butt-rock.
>>315661040
I'd say that TTT wasn't bad, but they wasted one potential thing.
They could've made a Prince vs. Dark Prince fight in the inside of Prince's mind.
The sequences after the Vizier didn't count at all.
>>315658945
thanks anon
>>315661648
The gameplay was okay (although I feel the combat was worse even though it seems like nothing was changed). Its just that the story made some terrible mistakes in an attempt to backpedal from the darker WW as much as possible.
I would make the story like this
>prince comes back and kaileena gets stolen (like before).
>you get caught in the ritual where kaileena gets stabbed
>you break free last moment, attack the vizier and swipe the dagger.
>however unlike before kaileena sticks with you in a semi-ghostlike state
>you decide to chase after the vizier to get his staff of sand, clean up the sand of time and revive kaileena back to normal
>while traveling through the city which is consumed by the sands you run into a prison tower containing farah
>farah wants to save the people by leading them to a rich part of town surrounded by water
>you want to fuck the vizier over
>in the end you help her out
>transforming back and forth in the shadow monster mode with help of ghost kaileena takes its toll on you
>in the end you go full sand monster and only barely remain together to at least save kaileena
>in the end farah comes after you with the help of the mob and tries to heal you with her medallion
>you fight him in your mind
>you awaken, take farah as your wife and have kaileena in your harem surrounded by water so she can live her life without being afraid of hurting anyone
>>315663618

>>315649397
What are you talking about family.
As soon as you pick a wrong bar thingy the guard screams that you're doing it wrong and to pick something else.
I remember this because I thought how retarded was to put a puzzle and then have a screaming man telling you the answer
