why do people pretend like this was a bad game?
It wasn't bad, the previous two were just better
>>12155242fpbpWhat I didn't get when playing it at first is why it looked worse graphically than the previous 2.Then when looking up development history and learning that they had to change 6 months before release because the dark and edgy look wasn't going well with testers made sense.
>>12154807I recently replayed it and it was fun but too short
>>12154807>why do people pretend like this was a bad game?it's an Ubislop game, ofc it's bad
>>12155454RetardUbisoft used to be good once
>>12155471they never made a good gamePooP was bad just like AssCreed
>>12154807it's very common for trilogies struggle with the third entry, it feeling alienating and disconnected, not sure why that is.
>>12155454>>12155548>not liking Rayman and Tom Clancy gamesYou have no soul
>>12154807It wasn't bad but I just don't remember it nearly as much.>>12155242This anon is probably correct. Its not good for a game if its very unmemorable. I only remember it was good but that is because it was based around the previous two games in its gameplay and level design.
>>12154807It's no worse than 2. 1 is all you need.
As fondly as people remember this trilogy, it seems like it never quite got where it was trying to get. all of these games are flawed
It felt like a super low budget title. I don't know why.
>>12154807Edgy BAD
>>12155454>tell me you are a zoomer without saying you are a zoomer
>>12154807Well it somehow managed to make the gameplay feel duller with the whole "move them into the light" shit, thrown in chariot sections, and thrown in stealth sections. While Warrior Within had its own problems with the hard swerve to metal music and dull super realistic browns and greys it was still fun to get involved in fights because it was all seamless cool dancing.The last game? While I vaguely remember that being a thing I do not remember anything else clearly besides the trippy ending sequence.
>>12154807People missed that Shahdee bodFor real though, never seen anyone say it was a bad game, it's still 2>1>3
>>12154807Didn't have Nintendo semen slathered on it, so millennials hated it.Pic related would have been UbiZelda before Brap of the Waft came in.
>>12157803Yeah, I never understood the hype myself. Sands of Time was a 4/10 if I'm being generous, Warrior Within was somehow worse.
>>12159321>Sands of Time was a 4/10 if I'm being generous, Warrior Within was somehow worse.
It tried to *fix* something Sands of Time struggled with, which was the combat. The problem is that adding more things to combat didn't help because the meat and potatoes of Sands of Time is using your array of acrobatic skills to traverse environments to get to the next point. Those parts are always the most fun and high points of the games. Trying to force in more combat or attempting more complexity doesn't do the main draw of the game any favors. Generally the platforming can be fun in Two Thrones. New skills like scaling or sliding down tight spaces, and using your chains to swing or pull out objects for platforming.
>>12154807its super rushed and unfinished and the gameplay itself is bad , theres barely any puzzle and the combat is less refined thani n theo ther 21>2>>>>3
>>12154807sand games fan here. replayed them last yeargrew up with this as a kid, played it a lot of times. loved it. the other two not so much. one was very simple, and the other was weird/complicated/buggy. but this one? it was clean15 years later, as an adult, I recently played them allSands of Time:a work of art. its story and development is superb, its ambient and ost is wholesome. it's those kind of games that just leave you thinking when reaching the credits. it left me in awe, so fucking beautiful. lot of identityWarrior Withinlot, LOT of immersion. plenty of replayability, everywhere. multiple paths. combat is amazing, very fun. not a fan of metal but its ost just doesn't leave my head. it's so edgy 2000s in all the right way. enjoyed it so much that I had to replay it in hard difficulty, this time to achieve the true ending (I failed tho, my ps3 died when I was halfway in the game). loved the story, the twists, the everythingThe Two Thronesaverage. enemies are generic. combat is toned down. as a kid I loved the speed kills, now I realize how fucking anti-climatic they are, in the sense that if you perform them correctly you pretty much kill everybody in one hit, which kills the actual combat. and the combat itself?? IT'S BROKEN! strong weapons are everywhere and they have a very broken, high endurance. you never really finish breaking the strong weapons because there are 3-5 in the corner! it has no challenge!music is generic, I say that as someone who cares a lot about music, so this one hurts. it's just not memorablesands of time is kino wholesome, short but very functionalwarrior within is frenetic, it has the best combat system. peak funtwo throne is a toned down mix of the two games, but done the wrong way. locations are boring, generic. combat is butchered. maybe there should have been more dark prince, idk. actually the dark prince gameplay was great, really. it's a good game, but the previous games were 11/10, a high bar
I don't know why everyone ITT is shitting on the game, for me it was ideal ending to the trilogy
>>12161708I am not shitting on it. I am being honest when I say I don't remember much of it and that it felt dull. I remember the other two games more clearly but the third game is a total haze.
>>12161642I love SoT but the combat is too long and repetitive. The OST is really good
>>12161642Chat GPT post.
>>12162583>SoT but the combat is too long and repetitiveU wot? Almost all of the enemies die from one-two hits specific to each variant.Stop button mashing and rely more on prince's dagger and mobility.
>>12162598Killing enemies is fast but that doesn't help when there are sections you need to kill tons of enemies before you can proceed
>>12162603Well, you can't expect a lavish palace to be guarded by a handful of enemies like in PoP1.Also compared to Chaos Legion, Devil May Crys or 3D Ninja Gaidens the amounts are resonable.
>>12154807I'm so tired of people pretending this was bad. I was standing at the bus stop the other day and a couple of zoomers were shitting on the game. And laughing. I straightened them out, believe me, but it put me on edge for the rest of the day. And that's not the first time this kind of thing has happened. Just give it a rest. It's a good game!
>>12162670>It's a good game!Except for chariot driving parts. They were undisputably abysmal.
>>12154807I don't think people pretend it's a bad game, it's fun, but it's just not as good as the previous 2 games.It tries to please both SoT and WW fans but ends up feeling disjointed without a proper identity, outside the Dark Prince. The story with the Dark Prince was painfully underdeveloped and a huge missed opportunity, just like the Sand Wraith in WW. Which sucks because Dark Prince is the most creative and interesting thing in the game.TTT suffers from an obvious God of War influence, the resources wasted on these moments could've been used for something better that fits or complements PoP. And to top if off it was release near the end of the console gen's lifecycle, so lower sales.All of these things, combined with the rushed, and troubled production, left most people with a bitter taste because they knew PoP was capable of more, as seen by the previous two games. The rebooted SoT franchise never reached its full potential before they moved to Prince of Persia Assassins. That turned into Assassin's Creed, and became Ubisoft's new baby/money printer, while PoP completely lost its identity. They tried to revive it a couple of times but it never reached the height of the first two SoT games.PoP 08 and Forgotten Sands are fun, but nothing like the first two.PoP 08 was another reboot that caused more division, and killed the little relevance the franchise had left.Forgotten Sands was an attempt to bring back SoT butit was really made to sell movie tickets for the PoP movie.Another reboot of PoP was in the works but got cancelled.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4Vl2RX2Z6cA remake of SoT has been in development hell for like 7 years, and the last 2D side scrolling games flopped, despite having a positive reception.Everything fell apart after TTT and the game was underdeveloped across the board, the story, the level design, the puzzles, the combat, the 'stealth' mechanics, the bosses. PoP never recovered.
>>12161708>I don't know why everyone ITT is shitting on the gameNot everything has to be in extremes, not everything has to be "peak amazing goat" or "it's shit worst thing ever"
>>12162767>Forgotten SandsWorth nothing that the Wii version is completely different game (and a lot better than the HD versions). It's worth playing if you like Sands of Time.
>>12162598>>12162603except enemies who block your one-hit kills exist, and i bet many "reeee combat is easy and simple reee" fags here lost in the elevator fight, or the boss fight against his fatherand I didn't say SoT combat was the best. warrior within wasand two thrones butchered it if you knew maths, you'd knew it meant that it was ok and challenging enoughdunno why you whined
>>12163065>except enemies who block your one-hit kills existThey may block some of the other ones, but they still have theirs to fall from.> and i bet many "reeee combat is easy and simple reee" fags here lost in the elevator fight, or the boss fight against his fatherOf course these fights are challenging first time since they're tied to major story points. But they're not overly long and tedious when fought with finesse.
>>12163474>But they're not overly long and tedious when fought with finesse.Nah even i, the biggest pop sot fan in my 60k pop. village, couldn't stomach the combat in my last playthrough. I was forced to beat the game through YouTube
>>12163519>the biggest pop sot fan in my 60k pop. villageThat's some big ass village.
>>12154807This was the beginning of the downfall of the series. It felt like a really cheap attempt at imitating Hollywood.
