ITT: Games that were dismissed at release but aged like wine
>>724692592Swing Shahdee's ass for the first Time was my sexual awakening
>>724692592People HATED the edgy vibe of this game when it came out.
>drinking wine instead of beer
>>724693309For good fucking reason.>hey, everyone, remember the great atmosphere and soundtrack The Sands of Time had?>Well, too bad, asshole. Enjoy Godsmack.
>>724692592I'd actually say that other reboot qualifies far more.
>>724693992whats so good about this one anyway? ive debated playing it, but man the franchise is just dead and i don't ever expect it to be good at this point.
>>724693880I loved it.
ISTAND ALONEINSIDE ISTAND ALONE STAND ALONE STAND ALONE
>>724693309>>724693880It's a fucking shame they went all in on the heavy metal shit when the premise from the trailer and intro was great. Prince has spent every day for months evading the equivalent of the Juggernaut with Phasing abilities. It was believable he was losing his mind and hadn't slept a full night ever. But some better environments, music, and less glitches (that one fucking dahaka chase) would have helped.
>>724694079Probably because you were 13 when you played it and were the game's target audience.
>>724692592
>>724694074nta but I just found it very uninteresting. You spend the whole game jumping forward to collect these blue orbs and that’s about it. I won’t pretend it hasn’t been since release so if there’s more to the game I missed that just shows you how memorable or interesting it was.
>>724694087A good friend of mine has a story about his mom going to see Godsmack in concert and we got the quote “how does such a small guy get so loud”
>>724694553manlet rage, duh
>>724694204>game's target audience likes the game The horror.
>>724692592All the girls in it were kino.
>>724692592Every criticism of this game is that it doesn’t tie in to SoT well. As its own thing, it’s incredible and unique.
>>724692863Seeing that girl with a fat ass cosplaying her was mine
>>724693474Of course
>>724694074You cant die. Back in the day people dunked on this game for being too easy since you literally cant die. I love this game but I do not understand decision to not make failstate during combat and make Elika save you when you're about to fail platforming section. This would have been a lot better in my opinion. People also expected Action Platformer game while PoP2008 is very clearly just a platformer instead of pure action adventure title I mean you even collect fucking flying seeds platformer style.>>724694517You could describe any platformer this way anon. "You just collect those gay ass coins n shiet" lol thats literally how thks entire genre works.
>>724694074It's the only game in the series that has anything to do with Persia.
>>724695961the only kind of handholding a game really needs
>>724692592Honestly think it's a pretty good sequel never had any gripes with it. Dead rising 1 is still better but combo weapons and a money system was pretty fun. Dead rising 3 is hit or miss, 4 isn't good, and off the record is the go to way to play 2 now.
>>724694130It has nothing to do with heavy metal, fellow blind/deaf anon
>>724696057>and off the record is the go to way to play 2 now.I disagree because there's barely new content in it and just extends out the game unnecessarily
>>724693992this game is great if you're physically and mentally handicapped, otherwise shit
>>724696167Its a great platformer to just chill. It isnt any easier than Mario games lol.
>>724693474>>724695834https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTSul2Cqug0
>>724696167>this game is great if you're physically and mentally handicappedthere is no need to talk about zoomer games like that
>>724692592It was soul grating seeing all the high-school edgelords hypocritically dismiss this game as "edgy" as if it wasn't the coolest shit.Like "hurr I'm so mature, goth/metal is so 2 years ago haha, let's go sit on a bench and drink/smoke that's so hecking adult" damn social fags.
>Oh yeah, that was a thing
>>724692592I miss 2000s edge so much. I hate the post-irony snark era we are in.
>>724693992It might've been a decent game if not for the godawful endings.
>>724696167This is also true for SoT. I don't get the complains about no failure penalties when SoT is virtually the same.
>>724697927it could've been good if it wasn't so blatantly unfinished
>>724698027I wouldn't care if it was actually available on PC.
>>724694661You can say that about any PoP
>>724693992It's fucking surreal how many times PoP has been rebooted.
>>724692592I still wish they had stuck more to the first game's aesthetic and I hated the chase sequences. The actual gameplay was fine though.
>>724693474I'll drink anything
>>724698117The console-exclusive ending is also dogshit.
>>724698117I have a PC installer I grabbed from GOG.
>>724698164Most of the reboots are older than the average anon, it's not that weird. It's also a timeless tale and setting.
>>724698027No it wouldn't have. The game structure was fucking fucked. You just did some wall runs on rails until you got to a dedicated arena where you fought the same enemy(singular) that you fight in every other arena before picking one of the branches off said arena and repeating. It had no puzzles, shit combat, and lackluster platforming.
>>724698134Based Elika enjoyers
>>724698164I find it more surreal that Assassin's Creed is technically a Prince of Persia spin-off/reboot and look how that series changed over the years.
>>724698164This one pisses me the fuck off. It was so close to being a good game but needed slightly less rushed development. How I wish there was a fusion of the console version's tweaks back into the PC one.
>>724698267TUMMEH
>>724698267France is leagues ahead from any other country when it comes to drawing girls.
>>724694636>series target audience goes from one group to a wildly different group for absolutely no fucking reasonGo buy the purple arabian and Persian Kilmonger Negro games and shut the fuck up you silly bitch
>>724693992>>724694074The only thing I remember about this game is that it had no fail state so there is no tension, stakes, or challenge to anything in it. It's one of the most pointless and forgettable games to ever be created.
>>724698396
>>724692592>dismissedPretty sure WW was very successful and praised.Also, Shahdee owes me sex.
the combat is still bad, it's not as ridiculously basic as sands of time but compared to any generic souls clone it's a cheesy mess.
>>724699031
>>724698280It was only natural continuation. Two Thrones already had assassination sequences with very familiar animations, you could see the inspiration in the first AC right away. AC2 had very PoP-esque platforming parts too.
>>724699031Mandatory.
>>724693992nah this game was lame as shit.
>>724696084Had everything to since that form of music is dog shit, deaf anon.
>>724699327nothing natural about it.just showed that forcing an open meme world over intricate design is always a fucking terrible idea that siphons all the soul and complexity out of games.
>>724694074they made the combat dogshit and you cant die.game straight up made for retards.
>>724699465lel
>>724693309Cause emos were a meme at the time of release, zoomers wouldn't understand.
>>724699327Warrior Within’s intro cinematic of the prince running through a middle eastern city looks like an AC trailer.
the only prince of persia game I ever played was the original on the apple whatever computer when I was in pre-schoolwhat the hell is the franchise these days? what do these games play like? I always assumed it was a lot of climbing on walls like god of war and shitty button mashy combat with no feedback, ..like god of war.
>>724700645the ps2 trilogy is basically that, a hackneyed cash-in on the god of war success. the 1999 dreamcast one was more standout imo.
>>724693992This game was about the adventure rather than the destination. It's a shame we never got the DLC on the PC.
>>724694235Bomberman is looking swole!
>>724693309>FAGGOTS hated the edgy vibe of this game when it came out.FTFY
>>724700864the adventure was pretty boring, man. it's like a much much worse version of ICO.
I
>>724692592It deviated too much from Sands of Time in tone and mechanics, but it was probably a better game overall.
>>724700645they are platforming puzzle action games with time related gimmicks.>>724700696>cash-in on god of war that wasnt even out when the games were madeunderage retard
>>724697986It hurts, man.
>>724692592This game got a lot of lukewarm "oh it's just a Mario Kart ripoff on PS3" comments but it was significantly deeper than that. To this day there's no kart racing game with this level of customization and, more importantly, player-created content. It was an idea that sold itself, really; a kart game you'd never put down because of all the content made for it.There were issues of course, but it was a great foundation. Could've made for a fantastic sequel. At the very least, all of its community stuff has been archived and you can still play multiplayer on it via RPCS3 and a private server.
>>724698502>one group to a wildly different group for absolutely no fucking reason >teenagers>still teenagers
>>724697986I blame this board for being among those for killing it, this was always one of the most outspoken places against it.
>>724697986It's not that I miss it, it's just that everything is lame and gay now.
>>724692592It wasn't dismissed. It was loved by the big majority of reviewers and players at the time. It was only disliked by the minority of hardcore fans of the first game and they Penny Arcade guy who made the petty passive agresive comic about it.
>>724692592Just because I wanted Sands of Time's combat improved didn't mean I wanted 300% more of it.
>>724694235its kino
>>724692592The movie was actually pretty goodLove watching Price of Persia, Kingdom of Heaven and John Carter with my dad
>>724693992that game is a chore at best, it doesn't help that the controls are not that responsive, which leads to having to repeat the same routes over and over to hit that one jump.the combat might as well not exist
>>724692592Sex with Shahdee
>>724692863>>724701369for me it was the empress
>>724700645>Sands of Time3D navigation is pretty good. Very storybook (but fun) in its narrative. The combat is interesting and boring at the same time, because it revolves around figuring out how to break an enemy's guard and stab them with the dagger to finish them off, and that gives you a resource that lets you rewind time. It's fun and stylish but there's not a lot of depth to it.>Warrior WithinEdgy as fuck, completely misses the tone of Sands of Time, fighting is a bit more annoying because you have to beat the shit out of enemies with combos instead of finding ways to instakill them with a finisher. But the level design is a lot better, and more open.>Two ThronesWeird amalgam of the two that isn't as good as either of them. I don't think they actually had a vision for it, they were just trying to respond to fan backlash over the second game. They tried so hard to do both you literally have two alter egos that represent the more lighthearted prince and his edgefaggot side, kekCombat is like Warrior Within but you also have the dagger back, so it's weird and halfassedHaven't played any of the later ones and I don't really want to.
>imagine the time effects you could do with modern hardware and engines>imagine exploring actual cities instead of maps that are just a "room with 5 guards">ubisoft can't even put together one lazy rehash>franchise deadGOD DAMN IT
>>724698569as much as I've seen people complain about runbacks recently, I'm sure your "average" gamer was decently challenged by it since it starts you back at the beginning of whatever segment you were attempting.
>>724701479>>imagine exploring actual cities instead of maps that are just a "room with 5 guards"no.
>>724693992The great kino filter.See the /v/ermins who missed the entire point:>>724694517>>724696167>>724698256>>724698569>>724700910>>724701305
>>724701582>>724701479Open world is garbage but it could have been great if it was semi-open world, just more expansive than what you get in the PS2 games.
>>724701640What exactly was the point, anon?
>I AM... THE ARCHITECT OF MY OWN DESTRUCTIONKINO, name a single more memorable line from the other prince games.
>>724701418>fighting is a bit more annoying because you have to beat the shit out of enemies with combos instead of finding ways to instakill them with a finisher.Weird way to say>it has actual combat
>>724701695Kakolookiyam
Kaileena was SO HOT.Then 3 happened.
>>724701707There was certain puzzle-like charm in SoT combat so I get those who prefer it over WW.
>>724701707>Weird way to say>it has actual combatIt had more meat and depth to it, but was less fun. Even if it was too simple, it felt great to get in the groove in Sands of Time and string together finishers. Warrior Within enemies were very tanky and it just didn't feel as good to fight. Didn't your offhand weapon have durability, too?Sands of Time combat needed improving, but I think they should have expanded on the concept rather than ditch it and turn it into a combo-'em-up.
>>724692592>*shitty metal music starts playing*
>>724692592no ubisoft game ever aged like wine, they all age like milk because they're buggy jankfest
>>724701695Every time I'm annoyed with the game for ruining the tone set by Sands of Time, I remember this line and I forgive it a little bit
>>724693992I recently replayed SoT trilogy + this game and I don't understand why platforming feels so much better in SoT. Still not a bad game, though.
>>724701694Elika.
>>724702134I like her, but she's not enough to carry a whole game.
>>724702223You have to carry her because she's barefoot, idiot.That's the point.
>>724693992I've been trying to play this again years after the first time, but it just can't seem to run on modern PCs.
>>724693992That game sucked ass I bought it at a liquidation store for $5 sealed and felt ripped off
>>724692592>you need to complete the game 100% to get the real endingnope, fuck you
>>724702134Oh so you're just a coomer. Kys

>>724693992I can still hear the noise the claw makes when you wall run
>>724702843Resident Evil 6 was garbage, especially as a Resident Evil game. It's probably fun multiplayer, but Resident Evil 5 was still way better.Don't know about the other two. I still haven't even played Dead Space 2 or Ninja Gaiden Black yet.

>>724692592I tried playing one of these recently and the combat was shit, couldn't even be bothered to get out of the first area. It was the one where babylon gets blown up

>>724697986Fuck off, cancer. It was trash and literally part of the reason why the world is shit today.
my favorite prince of persia game is shadow and the flame
>>724705405just say you are trans and love the thread
>>724697986Same anon. Same.
>>724702976re6 has much better multiplayer and map design than re5, honestly re6 has the best mechanics in the series which is why it also has the best mercenaries mode
>>724700696Two thirds of the trilogy are older than God of War
>>724703853Warrior Within has unique combat that you can go very deep with.
>>724692592>Increadible level design with a great mix of exploration, platforming, puzzles, combat, and collectibles>Greatly refined and hyper aggressive combat system with tons of unique fun mechanics and fast responsive animations>Fucking amazing badass rock metal soundtrack with harsh vocals that combines both American and Arabian aesthetics>Fantastic art style with a lot of dark gothic European architecture mixed with an exotic ancient islandic atmosphere>Tragic tormented protagonist who goes through a deeply personal and existential story arc about learning from past mistakes and growing as a person>Sexy and stylish half naked girls who still manage to kick ass everywhereKino. Best game in the series. Warrior Within mogs both Sands Of Time and Two Thrones so much it's not even funny
>>724695961The Lost Crown leans into Persian folklore pretty hard
This really turned into Prince of Persia thread i suppose. Give PoP 2008 a chance alright? Play it tomorrow because playing videogames is good. 2008 was a long time ago and the criticism levied against it is legend, hearsay, echoes. Even the combat is stylish for someone who bothers to learn how to do it instead of dismissing "the strange gameplay" 15 years ago and wiping the argument out today from some timeless vacuum pocket.No recent game gives the impression of simultaneously playing two characters as strongly as this game did and that was impressive tech.In the end of course SoT was better, dunderheads but i put 2008 right alongside Heavenly Sword or Enslaved, those high production smaller games.Plus the regular ending is perfectly fine and the DLC ruins it because thematically-challenged rubes complained so its existence is to be ignored.
>>724696962It was intolerably cringe and a massive step down from the actually well written and fairy tale esque previous game.
>>724698267She's the greatest brown girl in the history of video games.
>>724705949>>Tragic tormented protagonist who goes through a deeply personal and existential story arc about learning from past mistakes and growing as a personI loved the idea of it, I just didn't like the execution. It's expected that his ordeal would have changed him but it didn't feel like the same character at all to me.
>>724706240Nobody who was about 14yo in 2005 cared about the critical goodness of their videogames. The prince looked punished as fuck, there was bluud, kungfu, it wasn't a game for babies.
>>724706240>SoT>well writtenIt was just a shitty 2 hour long """""plot""""" about grampy disney prince claiming a tower and having dry shipping.net conversation with a girl he met two hours ago. Warrior Within tells an actual mature story about facing the consequences of your past, accepting your own mistakes, and learning from it.
>>724706748Stop replying to yourself, sperging zoomie. WW also came out in 2004, not 2005.
>>724705596I will fake being into emo for a relationship with someone like her one more time
>>724706748This is why video games went to shit.

>>724705349Forgot how much this game's OST slapped.
I hate to say it since there's an abundance of support and hate nowdays, but Dark Souls 2 vanilla was fucking awesome. Yes, Vaati sold out by partnering with gamestop. Yes, every souls game since Demon's and Dark1 has been a "this game is so hard xD" gimmick. But levelling ADP to 32 never got in the way of builds, people just liked to complain. Soul memory wasn't that bad and there was plenty of co-op, iron keep bridge / arena fighting, and invasions despite SM. Dark Souls 2 was the only game in which armor/shield elemental resistances mattered, and players would actually have multiple shields and armor sets prepared to counter spell builds. 2 was the only game that felt completely balanced, any build could beat any build fairly. People figured out the "invade in abyss, get ascetic, get 7 cracked orbs in Forest" method and invasions stayed consistent. Only normalfigs thought 2 sucked during its time. Then BB and DaS3 fans watching normalslime youtube videos devaluing 2, and just like /mu/ with Fantano, they judged 2 without even giving it a try. The people I knew that tried 2 and complained about it said that they broke their weapons in Forest of Fallen Giants and hollowed to a too low HP. They never beat Demon's Souls / got cursed in Dark Souls. The game got a bad rep because of normies like always, and now its hailed as a cult classic, despite having a huge player base in its time. Lastly, people will say whatever they wish about lore inconsistencies/absences, world layout sucking compared to 1 (when they don't even like 1) and how it was a B team game. I encourage people like you to watch the Firelink Conspiracy youtube channel to read up on the actual lore.

>>724708027The combat in SoT was not terrible, it was stylish. God damn you. Did you spam the best move all game long or something?
>>724708089What I hate is that I'm always attracted to stupid fucking internet culture women because i've lived my entire life being interested in niche music and subjects and usually these types of women are the ones i fawn over because they also spent their lives online. But they are usually riddled with more neurosis (usually BAD BPD) than me at best and at worst I find out that they're extremely normie and don't know a single thing that I'm talking about. But I feel that I'll never convince a normie to marry someone like me so I feel stuck dating internet addicts like her that always disappoint. I either need to clone myself and marry that or learn to be normal somehow.

>>724701114I never finished this as a kid on PSP, maybe I'll give it a shot now that I'm reminded it exists, thanks anon
>>724708702I do remember. Not everybody agreed. The difference between Last Good and First Bad is crucial but the cancer of the franchise was undeniably present in FFX just not metastasized yet.
>>724708896Sorry no, that trainwreck will never be considered a good game in my book.

Thoughts on the cut "harpy" enemy?
>>724709357Any game with Job autism is my jam, is stiff at times but the game is overall great.
>>724695961>think about playing it again>remember all these little interactions with her
>>724709726No, that type of edginess was just going out of fashion in 2004 and it was ridiculed for it. It was widely described as a more mainstream, dumbed down version of SoT (including by Jordan Mechner), despite being a massive improvement on every level. I also felt it was a dumbed down edgy version back then. Replaying the games now, it’s by far the best in the trilogy and IMO one of the most underrated games of all time. Two Thrones however doesn’t hold up well.Read this post from 2004:https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/12/03/on-discomfort
>>724709726I miss 00's edgy like you couldn't believe, there's a hint of earnestness in it, now that everything is irony and self-deprecation.
>>724709937Looks like the same model of the Sand Courtesans from SoT
>>724693309I didn't mind it back in the day. I just hated not having sand when starting out because I loved messing with the magic time rewinding sand... that was over 20 years ago, so I don't know what a replay would feel like
>>724707983
>>724710301You get sand like 15 minutes into the game, quicker than in SoT.
>>724709578This is sadly true.99% of scene girls insisted that because they adorned themselves in such "unique" ways, they were "against the grain, individualistic, and not like other girls."Yet they were all the same. Emo / metalcore / deathcore / pop punk cookie cutter music taste thanks to warped tour, hot topic, and late myspace. They said they didn't listen to "normal music" but they were supporting "alternative" subsidiary labels of the top three record labels the whole time.They acted deep because they thought they were subverting normal culture but they were conforming to a new norm themselves. They also thought that serial-relationship hopping made them deep because they could quote more emo lyrics to their experiences and being heartbroken was character development. The same people that think their deep for reading poetry.Then if you ever dated one? BPD city. They act like they're in love with you because you respected them more than their exes. Then they invest everything in you for 4-6 months. Then the BPD honeymoon ends and they realize that this won't work out and you settled down too fast. But neither of you want to leave the other because you avoid hurting the others' feelings while lashing out and arguing constantly.So you decide to leave them. They hate you for it, call you the worst things you've been called, say that you're a pig and that you betrayed their trust and that you're a quitter for giving up.Then after 3 years you talk to them on friendly terms and they were thankful you left them because they wanted to leave you the whole time anyways.

>>724707125>I am>le prince of the perisa???
Black Flag. It became a quintessential pirate game but people were mad there wasn't enough asscreed in it. Now they think there's too much asscreed in it.
>>724699347lmao
>>724711256They might be his problem, he sticks his dick crazy too much
>>724712194I am Moses and the parting of the white cheeks
>>724710107>The Prince is back, apparently from rehab. He is beset on all sides by improbably garbed temptresses. The good news is that game we liked is in there, but it's underneath a bunch of crap I ordinarily wouldn't touch without gloves.wtf was his problem
>>724692592I will never forgive the WW devs for killing off Shahdee within the first 30mins of the gameWhat a brutal bait
>>724694204honestly yeah, and it was great. you might say it like it's a bad thing, but you were once 13 too. it's fine to just enjoy things.
>>724712253Sands of Time brought in a bunch of people who Disney levels of fantasy and false wholesomeness. Anything slightly gritty or in WWs case, an atmosphere that reflects the Princes reality, needs to be rejected on a cellular level.
>>724712449And then to suck up to SoT fans they fuck over Kaileena in TT too
>>724701479>franchise deadsometimes it's for the best, would you really want the prince to get Deus Ex treatment? i wouldn't ask for that.
>>724701660Warrior Within sort of is.
>>724701479>In November 2023, the official Prince of Persia social media account posted that "the project has passed an important internal milestone and development is progressing".[126]>At Ubisoft Forward in June 2024, Ubisoft announced that the remake will release in 2026 under the original title Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.[127]
>>724692592The best part of the series, later it became boring, two thrones maybe hold up but are still weaker than this GOAT instead of making new 3D they remake like robots, same for Rayman there is no new games after Legends fucking gay rabbits nobody wanted to play, fuck this shit>>724693992Kino
>>724708702No? The game was universally loved and became one of the best selling games in the history of Sqauresoft. What kind of retarded revisionist history are you trying to pull off here?
A modern classic.
>>724692592Bring back edgekino
>>724693880>Enjoy Godsmack.Thanks, I love Godsmack.
>>724693880Godsmack only did the opening and ending songs for the game. The soundtrack was composed by Stuart Chatwood. The same guy who composed the soundtrack in Sands Of Time and Two Thrones.
>>724708702>every enemy is just a recolor>hallwayslopStill true
>>724712676What fucking reality of the prince's character. He didn't need to go filthy and unshaved just because a dahaka was invented in the story, it was just for phony maturity points. It was the style at the time hence the accusation of conformity at any cost to the character. Imagine they made Nero from the Devil May Cry Series into a tattooed vaping doomer because "his girlfriend left him" and you defending that awesome decision because DMC4 attracted churchgoers to the franchise who are now just mad for no reason.
NO ONE ESCAPES THE DAHAKA
>>724713909He's being constantly hunted down by a time demon.
>>724714058How they don't invent a time demon and then the series doesn't have to go to shit!
>>724713909Prince was forced to fight for his life every single day for 7 fucking years of his life on top of also facing the realities of war as he got older. Him being angry and rough was justified. Your DMC4 argument is also retarded. DMC was an edgy series since its inception, way before WW was even conceptualized, and Nero is a way edgier and angrier character than WW Prince.
Prince had a very soothing voice no homo
Fuck this bitch
>>724712194Busted so Many loads to this chick
>>724701114Me and my brother used to make fucked up troll tracks and then wait until we got to become host of a lobby before forcing people to play them
>>724693309they are fucking moronsprince was being chased for how many years I don't know, on the constant edge of death, they want him to be a hopeful naive twink and the game with an arabian yellow filter and 1001 magical nights vibe.
>>724702843I don'T consider anything past re3 nemesis a resident evil game, even the fan favorite trash that is re4. But man, if I was gonna play one game out of that crap trilogy, it would be re6 and neither 5 or 4.
>>724716096Maybe they were right since the series never stopped trying to go back to that aesthetic until it died from overexertion trying to not be warrior within anymore.
>>724716526Dangerously based
>>724693880>Enjoy Godsmack.Yes?
Reminder there was a game set between sands of time and WW that no one actually played because it was a DS game and really fucking bad.
ive never played any of the POP games. worth? is it rough to make it through the older ones?
>>724693309i still do and it wasn't hated, it was the norm at the time
not really dismissed, but sort of in the spirit of the thread because witcher 3 became such a phenomenon that it seems like its mostly forgotten and i may even enjoy it more than 3. its not open world, but its got such a cool vibe. its art direction is leagues ahead of witcher 3. i love witcher 3 but 2 is something special.
>>724695961shame the dlc never made it to pc
years ago got mogged by this boss in two thrones and uninstalled
>>724708039Damn we used to show porn to kids, now fandoms do it for the media instead
>>724713735>Godsmack only did the opening and ending songs for the game. The soundtrack was composed by Stuart Chatwood. The same guy who composed the soundtrack in Sands Of Time and Two Thrones.https://youtu.be/9vZHuO7WPwM?list=RD9vZHuO7WPwMI was born and grew up in canada, and it is wild how popular the band: The tea Party was over here. This is the type of band that could sell out any venue in Canada. But has little popularity in other parts of the world. The Tea Party did release like 9 studio albums with the last one being released in 2021, and have at least 25 chart topping singles, and their music got a lot of radio play all over Canada and still does. I think they still tour. Stuart Chatwood is the guitar player and founding member of that band. I could see why UBI Soft Montreal hired this man to do music for the Prince of Persia games, as his guitar style has a Persian/ middle eastern sound to it that suits the franchise incredibly well. He's a great musician.
>>724712194what must I do to become her in the next life?
>>724719809And it's right after a long chariot ride too, so you probably won't enter the battle with full sand tanks.
Millenials are some strange people. They love to be cynical and ironic all the time, love to nitpick and call everything shit, yet some silly "edgy" aesthetic in a game for kids like Jak II and WW triggers them like there is no tomorrow to the point of shitting on the whole game regardless of game design, soundtrack, graphics, etc. WW is not a worse game than SoT.
>>724710107>>724692863>People HATED the edgy vibe of this game when it came out.>that type of edginess was just going out of fashion in 2004What kind of retarded revision history is this? 2004 was when metal grunge edginess was at its peak. That's why Ubisoft designed WW with this style in mind in the first place. They wanted to appeal to as many people as possible and it worked. The game was loved when it came out by the majority of the players and critics. The Penny Arcade guy you posted was in the minority. It wasn't until the late 2000s and early 2010s that Normies started a hate campaign against WW thanks to Yahtzee from Zero Punctuation starting the emo meme in his videos
>>724692592Isn't this the buggiest installment of the series?I think any game built on this engine isn't perfect but by far this one was the most prone to ruining your save if it broke.
>>724692592I love how in spite of being criticized on release, the Warrior Within armor became the most iconic look of the Prince
>>724705379>>it's pretty goodIs it actually? How would you rank it against the rest of the series.
>>724722320It was always a common complaint. That complaining increased a few years later, but most importantly the complaints about the style caused people to ignore how sophisticated the gameplay had become and just announced that it was a dumber version of SoT. WW wasn’t panned, but it was generally considered a disappointing, dumb version of SoT (which is very inaccurate).
>>724693309the contrast of the lovable rogue prince from the first game was too dire i think
>>724723447>too edgy, too male, too sexyThat sounds eerily familiar.. Almost like a proto-version of what would eventually become a full blown culture war against male entertainment
>>724697927I need to dust this one off from my backlog at some point.>>724692592I didn't dismiss WW at all. Was my favourite of the trilogy. Only real qualm I have with it is it's a very brown/yellow game relative to the first and third entry.>>724698164I'm surprised this release never got GOG'd at the least.>>724722747Movie was 'ok', although you already knew exactly what was going on plot-wise if you played any of the games, so it's just a popcorn action flick in the end.>>724709157I thought it was a God of War clone? By the time it came out on PC I forgot about it.>>724708348The problem with SoT's combat is you're just going to flip over the enemy for that overhead two-hit attack over and over, because it's the most effective way of dealing with most enemies that you aren't just dusting immediately.>>724705274Fucking great game, although a big meh for story. It's mandatory to play with one of the Prince outfits on though so you can remove that Killmonger immediately. I still need to check out that DLC expansion at some point.
>>724709324Kaileena Fuck T2T for uglifying and killing her.
>>724709324The fuck is the el goblina on lower-left from?

>>724693992>good music>good story>good character design>ass gameplay and platforming
>>724692592I really should get around to playing this. I only ever finished SoT and TT but for some reason I quit WW early and never got back to it.
>>724692592I skipped this one back in the day. Did I miss out?
>>724709324
>>724692592The map in Warrior Within is complete garbage.
>>724729575prove it
>>724701278i aint a furry but if that thing was real id tap
>>724693474In my defense, I am actually part French.
>>724701114>To this day there's no kart racing game with this level of customization and, more importantly, player-created content.My thoughts exactly. To this day this is the deepest level of any PSP game. And yet nobody talks about it or knows it. Even I got it along with the console.The story mode was great too. I don't know if the english dub sucked or something but the polish one was phenomenal.
>>724708702I was born after it came out, and it was still shilled as teh "greatest thing ever" into early 2010s.
>>724702843>RE6It wasn't even a survival-horror anymore. It was a game for the CoD audience and had a retarded plot.>DS3Also bashed for not being a survival-horror. Not to mention microtransactions IN A FUCKING SINGLE-PLAYER GAME. That along with a good chunk of the good shit (AKA: Carver's Marker visions) locked up due to being in control of Isaac without the option to switch characters to see anything.>NG3No dismemberment, no ninpo magics...stupid cinematic shit.All three are garbage, but RE6 stands out the most to such a degree that I wish to go back in time and punch whoever allowed RE to deteriorate to such a degree after 3. And if it's multiple people, then all of them.

>>724702843Razor's Edge was so good, and so brutal, that it filtered the poser casual NGfags that spammed UT and items NGfags are so fucking casual it's unreal and they literally don't play their games
>>724709357>sop>rollslop/v/ literally does not play games
>>724720923who's we?
>>724734279Dead Space was NEVER survival horror by any stretch of the imagination.
>>724694130>Prince has spent every day for months evading the equivalent of the Juggernaut with Phasing abilities.its actually almost a decade since sands of time, whether or not the dahaka was actively pursuing him the whole time is another question though
>>724737642>Dead Space was NEVER survival horror by any stretch of the imagination.Lol wut? Did we play the same game?
>>724737704Did we? It's a horror action game. You're never in any danger, have resources coming out of your ass, and even if you die, you literally respawn from the last door you entered. You can't even get lost because when you push the joystick the game draws a line showing you where to go. It's literally the furthest thing from survival horror. In a proper survival horror, you should be scared to face the enemies and nervous about dying or running low on supplies. DS has absolutely none of that. It's gears of war in space on a spookey spaceship with zombies.
>>724737668It's been a while (I am ancient), I thought it had recently been pursuing him for several months since that game intro at the start where he tries to stand his ground after the parkour. I remember the user guide stated he hadn't slept for months due to evading it.
>>724707983oh my
>>724738178Was it really?
>>724741013It was considered a mere Bubsy 3D clone on release
>>724692592P.N.03 got some dreadful reception, but I found it quite enjoyable.
>>724741013It was seen as an edgy Ocarina asset flip.

>>724709324Man where did it all go so wrong? Ubisoft was one of the very first publishers that drank the woke koolaid and covering up their female characters in burkas but only after intentionally uglifying them so you wouldn't even want to see them with less clothes on anyway. I wonder if we will ever return fully to that time where it's not just Asian devs flipflopping constantly on the sexy like KT and SE? Probably not but a man can dream
>>724743512I laugh at that pic on the right every timeIt's uncanny as fuck

>>724724787>Fuck T2T for uglifying and killing herThat ultra low poly PS2 model of hers with extreme webbed fingers and toes would have allowed her to swim to safety with relative ease and avoid capture

>>724701479That's just ass creed retard, and it sucks.
>>724692592This game is unironically the missing link between Ico and the Souls games.
DMC2 Is the best in the series
>>724748123Don't even remind me, bro.I used to sleep on the top bunk above my big bro, I imagined this enemy doing crazy splits (not the speedrun kind) on top of me. Didn't know how to stroke my schlong yet so I kept pulling on my foreskin while thinking about the blade dancer. It felt so good. Used to be sensitive as fuck.The first time I overstimulated, I accidentally came really fucking hard in my pajamas. I had to sneak into the bathroom without big bro figuring it out. That shit was scarier than the tension of Dahaka chases.Gay as hell to talk about this with other men, but this is such a core memory for me and who is there to judge cringey stories from teenage times on an anonymous board.
>>724748684Bingo. Sekiro is a Warrior Withinlike, there's so many similarities, that I consider it a spiritual successor to WW.
>>724749254>>724748684you people sold me on getting WW
>>724749452hell yea, do it niggasome minimal troubleshooting needed cause it's an old gamemake sure to get the widescreen patch, from pcgamingwiki (really good and fixes some hud issues), launch in win7 compatibility mode if it doesn't start, and if you're buying on steam you'll need to replace a corrupted .bik video file of the old man cinematic with a stable one from a physical, pirated or gog copyyou can force 8x multisampling anti alias in your nvidia profile inspector with diablo 3 compatibility settings, not sure why that one works the bestif you emulate, get the ps2 versiondon't EVER touch the ps3 hd demaster for your own sakepsp version is full of unnecessary cut bloat levels too
