>make a good game>decline millions of sales by making this your protag>close studio afterwards
>>722632259What were they thinking
Why are gamers like this
>game gives you amazing moveset>takes it away after 5 minutes
Studio didnt close, they were reassigned to work on other projects
>>722632502>reassigned to work on other projectsreassigned to the eternal Beyond good and evil mine*
>>722632408Can’t you play the entire game with Richter after you beat the game?
>>722632502>Reassigned to Antarctica
>>722632259Didn't they also make it 60 bucks? Maybe it's unfair that people expect to pay half as much for 2D games but that's where we're at
>>722632370mental illness and normalized extremism, unironically. basically a terminal lack of bitches assuaged by being terminally online and easily duped by the usual suspects.
>>722632502Reassigned to serving fries at Maccas lmao.
>>722632502ubisoft has other projects?
shit it's killmonger
>>722632671Oh come on, can't we just get...BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL TOO?!
Go woke, Go broke.
>>722632259Anyone who makes 2.5 platformers deserves bankruptcy.
No reason to play this over Metroid Dread, DESU.
>>722632259it's honestly mid and I don't appreciate this narrative that it's a hidden gem that was under appreciated due to racism
>>722632259Imagine spending 3+ years of your life making a game and what ends up fucking you over is one bad haircut some midwit trendchasing character designer made after seeing a marvel movie
>>722632259kek another jewish fairy tale come true
>>722632735Yeah
>>722633703I think the way this Prince of Persia title was distributed didn't help its chances (I think it was only available through ubisoft's subscription service or something for a time?), so it wasn't entirely on the protagonist's looks
>>722632259This probably started development during the George Floyd years and ubishit thought they could ride that wave four years into the future. It's a shame this has probably the best combat of any metroidvania while the storytelling and art direction is dogshit smartphone game tier. It doesn't even have a feMC for gods sake and calls itself a Prince of Persia game. What a shame because this could have been a masterpiece.
I think this just goes to show that there are so many fucking games now that people will actively look for any reason to not buy your game>"But it's such a petty reason"That's the neat part. It doesn't matter.
>>722632370Even if you're not a braindead culture warrior, It's a really stupid looking hairstyle. And nobody wants to play as a stupid looking MC.
>Yooooo this gameplay hella fire
>>722633703don't forget terrible mumble rap music they played during the revealthey literally don't care about the audience
>>722634249>Shows literally the first trial>FailsNice try I guess.
>>722634249spikeslop
>>722634648Im not that anon, but I dont even care, Ill defend even the first trial, even though it gets WAAAAY better, the first trial is what made me fall in love with the game, and also simultaneously set up the expectations for the rest of the game that made me unable to put it as one of my favourite games ever because the rest of the game outside the trials never even gets close to that until the very very end, in very minute sections of the palace, and some secret optional areas like in the sand level.I wrote one of the biggest essay threads on this game and what makes its potential so good. Now that I think about it, im not sure my analysis accounts for the first trial which was unique in its own way even without the clean usage of multiple abilities (testament to how good the foundations of its level design is) Lately ive been playing a lot of platformers and running into a problem with them that Im worried is too generalizable, or I have to make it so that the standard of good platforming has to be really exceptional and cant simply be "good". To pass.
>>722634249This actually looks fine
>>722634943Bro that shit is dime a dozen in indie platformers
>final platforming divine trial requires you to scale the mountain in one try>reward is 100 crystals
prince of persia was never good
prince of philly
>>722632259I don't think the protagonist's design is why it failedYou have a combination of several factors1. Ubisoft's dogshit reputation2. Prince of Persia hasn't been a relevant franchise since 2008, and that game was also not received that well3. The initial impressions were bad because they used modern hip hop in the trailer of a game set in the ancient Middle East4. AAA pricing for a game that clearly didn't warrant itIn short, Ubisoft did everything within their power to make this game fail
>>722636440>AAA pricing for a game that clearly didn't warrant itAAA doesn't warrant it either desu
>>722632370chud fascism making gamers not want to hate themselves
>>722632259>>722632363Some things are more important than sales
>>722633934>probably the best combat of any metroidvania Nah that's Tevi>art directionis great>storytellingyeah that one's pretty dogshitIt's a solid game. The combat is fun and it has some great bosses. Biggest drawback is the story and the simplicity of the map, you never get lost or uncover cool secrets, you just go where you need to because the map makes it clear at all times. That one time early on you get the map taken from you made me wish more of the game felt like that
>>722634738>see spikes>OOOOH I HAVE A JPG THAT WILL TOTALLY DUNK ON THIS POSTkys
>>722632259Unless you buy the Super Goyim Edition. Then you can play as the PS2 prince.
>>722634943kys
>>722632735Oh I can play the interesting character after 8 to 12 hours of playing as the boring sluggish loser? Wow. Great. That's way better than first experiencing the game as an interesting fun to play character. Thanks kind stranger.
>>722636842>gets dunked on>cries about it
>>722634249>>722634738>complaining about spikes in a PoP gameque?
>>722634249Holy fuck this looks like an ad for a mobile game.
>>722635103yes the game is actually competent and well made, it literally flopped because of the characters haircut
>>722632259bruh why is this dude in every game now
>>722632823>Didn't they also make it 60 bucks?No
>>722634467Improper marketing has killed thousands of media projects.
>>722637084>interesting character>first experiencing the game as an interesting fun to play characterRichter mode has no story and you don't experience the game in the same way that Alucard does. There is no progression.There are places you cant access and you can technically finish the game in a couple minutes because Richter is able to skip everything and go right to the final boss. It is just a bonus fun thing to do after beating the game. It is in no way intended to be a "first experience" for a new player.
>>722634249Looks like an ugly version of the new Shinobi.
>>722632259What's wrong with a Persian guy being the protagonist in a game called Prince of Persia? Do you somehow think Dreadlocks are a black thing? Because the earliest depiction of dreads comes from ancient Minoan civilization over 5,000 years ago. The area they inhabited is modern date Crete off the coast of Greece and likely existed prior in the Neolithic area as well meaning it was a super common Indo-European hairstyle first before all other cultures and as such is a quint-essential Persian hairstyle by about 4900 years before the first black person gave themselves dreads. Also it is a great game and the music is dope. I'm sorry you're so retarded you saw one Gayme Awards trailer with hiphop and assumed it was a game about a black person culturally appropriating a common hairstyle in the cradle of civilization that was the middle-east.
>>722638448The persian voice acting was also really good
>>722632259I blame the Ubisoft stigma, and required Ubisoft account before the protag.
>>722634249it is
>>722638662I mean Sargon (MC) was played by an ethnic Iraqi. The rest of the cast was from there or Saudi Arabia as well. They did a good job not blackwashing the cast. I don't get what /v/'s problem is here. Was it really some retarded trailer done by Ubislop and NOT the studio? I guess I can't be surprised given how no one here actually plays videogames.
the sad reality if the game was 100% the same as it is now, but had a slightly different protag and came from some indie studio 80% of it's hates would shill it so hard the board would be unusable for some time
>>722632259If you go on /r/metroidvania there's basically a daily Silksong hate thread and a daily Prince of Persia shill post, simply because the latter has a lot of built-in cheats to skip the gameplay and they're all tired dad gamers on thereBut outside of reddit I haven't seen anyone play or mention PoP at all. There's no community whatsoever, no one will speedrun this game or discuss boss strats or builds, or post a screenshot of a cool hidden area they just found. There's nothing of that, it's a soulless corpo game.
>>722639032That's not because the game's bad.
>>722632259That was a pretty great metroidvania, not the best but really enjoyable
>>722632259>>make a good gamepic unrelated?
>>722639032Silksong was good but played it only two months after finishing HK so it was a lot less special for me. Just more of the same. I did like PoP:TLC quit a bit but it was nothing super special, just really well polished and pretty good combat for a metroidvania. I like both but they aren't in my top 10 by a long-shot.
>>722632259>like PoP>like metroidvania>see boxart>become non-buynary
>>722634943I, for one, am glad you liked it, Anon.Personally, I didn't play it because I hate black people - or 'niggers', as I like to call them - and I dislike having to 'git gud' at a fucking video game of all things, but I like reading a positive post on this sithole every now and then.
>>722638343>Richter mode has no storyIgavania stories are uniformly pretty bad, SOTN is no exception, that's not much of a downside.
>>722638343Are you being dense on purpose or are you just actually autistic?He's obviously saying 'why not just give the fun move set to the actual protagonist', not 'new game + is better', you fucking mouth-breathing attacking dog.
>>722632370>why are DEVS like thisBecause they're normies. They grew up on Teylor Swift and niggerrap, and this is all they've seen of a black person; a caricature of a reddit post of a picture of a movie.
>>722634249Git gud scrub
>>722639561>why not break the game immediately
>>722635385But what about the sense of achievement?
>>722637848Actual nigger hair is boring, so any nigger male has to have le cool hip Niggermonger hair style
>>722637084its called rondo of blood
>>722632408>Amazing moveset>Literally the same boring whipping from every other game>but OH FUCK YOU HAVE A SLIDE HOLY SHITPlaying as Alucard is infinitely more fun and satisfying, retard.
>>722639723Blacks need to stop culturally appropriating Indo-European hair styles. Our culture is not your costume darkie.
>>722639387What would you call your top 10?
>>722634943Bro these are little big planet community maps
>>722634249>We want the Capcom audience.
>>722632259Kek, everyone has black fatigue
>>722640050what?
The divine trials and the dlc are too damn hard
>>722640368dlc is 100% easier than most divine trials, and ive played all of them (deliberately ignored all combat divine trials cuz they shit and inferior to platforming and puzzle)
>>722632259>make a good game>ubislop
>>722640153You heard me nigger
>>722632259Think fast!
>>722632370The game is called Prince of Persia. There were no blacks in ancient pre-Islamic Persia.
>>722640507I wouldn't have believed it had I not played it myself, but yes, it's their last great game since Rayman Legends.
>>722632259same thing happened with bionic commando lmao
>>722632259>Start game>Get instantly bored by the shit story>Start skipping every cinematic>Have no idea what's going on >Lose interest after 5 minutes>Dropped and never picked up againThere are too many good games out there for me to waste my time convincing myself a bad one is good. Maybe there is a good game under there but it's not worth my time to find it.
>>722642124average pirate experience lmaozero investment = zero patience
>>722643657I literally bought it on sale, retard. It's a shit game.
>>722642124>skip story>have no idea about what's happeningI mean, what did you expect?
>>722632259Good. Let this be a lesson to all devs. Don't put ugly MCs in your game, or die.
>>722634249This looks like Silksong but slower
>>722643824>what did you expect?The story not to be dogshit. I don't need 20 minutes of cutscenes to set up a fucking platformer. Just let me fucking play the damn game.
>>722634249Megaman bro... We're home...
>>722644365same, i just skip to gameplay and if gameplay is nice then i open youtube game longplay, put it on x2 speed and watch the cutscenes while skipping ahead just fast reading the shitty dialogues at leastcutscenes should come with fast forward options, everyone is x2 speed brained now
>>722638343Isn't there a romhack to make richter mode but with progression and level ups? Coulda swore I saw one.
>>722634249Oh, cool to know you get an air-dash. I started this after The Rogue Prince of Persia since it just got added to game pass and I miss not having one from that game. Too bad there isn't a dedicated kick button. Amazing how useful that shit is in Rogue.
>>722640603The weakest of the immortals lmao
>>722634467Weird because the in-game music so far seems more traditional/orchestral. The Rogue's music definitely has more hip-hop type beats to it, but no lyrics.
>>722646471not sure if there's more than this onehttps://www.romhacking.net/hacks/7919/
I just want a sequel
>>722646749i do too bro. i do too. i cant stand to see this platforming and puzzle potential wasted. i need the game to fix its problems and realize its full potential
>>722646749>>722647484The team got nuked. What little DLC game out was buggy as shit and untuned. I'm right there with you on wanting one but we're not getting a sequel
>>722647582>but we're not getting a sequelyeah i know, just screaming into the void since i rarely get to talk about this game
>>722632363DEI pay them for uglifying characters. The hilarious thing is that the prince was already a poc by being Persian yet they removed him KEKOf course you sometimes see ubishills here trying to please 2 bands aka woke people and chuds which is why they took the dei money but they still beg chuds to buy their game
>>722638448>>722638662>>722638919And here they are, the ubishills. Sometimes they pretend far cry was leaked
>>722647680That's fair. My favorite small thing about the game was making a time clone during a charge attack to release it, rewind, and release it again. There were so many small clever synergies like that on top of the incredibly crisp movement.
>>722632259>Repulsive looking nogWhen will they learn
>>722647582RAYMAN SAMA SAVE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>722634249>gets shit on like it should>silksong does the same exact garbage>it gets praised constantly and youre told to git gud if you complainwhy is the dark souls/hollow knight community such a fucking cancer?
>>722632370Explain what is good about this character design?
>>722647865>platforming is bad because uhhh I don't like platformersyeah, bad design, cancer etc
>>722647826>implying its unintentionalhe doesnt know
>>722632370Better question: Since gamers are like this why isn't the people making games the same way?
>>722632370gamers are not niggers. gamers did not ask for a nigger. it's devs you want to blame here
>>722648108Because media is treated as a commodity where growth is expected, and that necessarily means expanding out of a saturated market. It's precisely because it doesn't appeal to the core segment of people buying games that you get shit like this; it's a gamble that it'll attract more new people than it'll lose.
>the combat is SOOOO good dude, it's the best in MV'sokay, how come I never see anyone talking about bosses in this game? like, I haven't even played Nine Sols (yet, I bought it this sale), but I already know that Eigong will rape my assis it just feel good garbage where you do le epic animations and easily BTFO enemies?
>>722637134There's some level of difference
>>722632856But i have my own gf like 11 years, niggers are disgusting and i dont play games with nigger as mc
>>722648108the idea is that "the core fans will buy it anyway", so you might want to expand your audience (to, in this case, African Americans and their leftist worshippers)
>>722648292It's certainly easier than Nine Sols but the bosses have some neat designs. There's a giant snake that's somewhat generic but your time powers give you interesting ways to dodge its attacks, and a fight against a guy dual-weilding chainblade anchors like a cross between Zangeif and Kratos. The best fights are more straightforward swordsman duels, which is several of the bosses. Aesthetically they took a lot from fighting games from the bosses in terms of their bombast and presentation, as well as Sargon overtly having various levels of super.
