Prince of Persia sucks

Post Reply New Topic

Easy control scheme and you do that the entire game.

Boring, grahpics are good though but remidns me of Jak and Daxter or another collect em platformers.

Boring

Eh, first, which Prince of Persia game do you mean? There are like 10 of them, if not more.

Second, since when is it wrong to have an easy control scheme? The point of a game should never be to have to wrestle through the control scheme in order to do anything. An easy control scheme is actually a good thing in a game. And whether a game is easy or difficult has nothing to do with the control scheme (a game with an easy control scheme can still be fiendishly difficult).

As for "you do that the entire game" being a bad thing, I guess it means Super Mario Bros is the suckiest game of all times, since it's all about running and jumping and doing nothing else. Having a single gaming mechanic is nothing wrong. It's what you can do with it and the challenges that are put in your way that make a game good or not.

Graphics have nothing to do with whether a game is boring or not, so why put those two in the same sentence?

In the end, you still need to tell us which Prince of Persia game you mean. As long as we don't know which game you are talking about, we cannot do anything with your remarks.

You sir are a dickhead.

Anyway I mean the newest one for Xbox 360 maybe playstation also but I got it for Xbox 360. I was just trying to give it some kind of positive with the graphics comment. I didn't make a whole thing on every single detail because it bored me. Super Mario is different because it constantly challenges you but Prince of Persia pretty much just gives everything to you.

Name calling is uncalled for, especially in this instance.

Regardless of that, I think Prince of Persia is boring too. I never understood the appeal of time stopping, rewinding, forwarding in the game to be honest. Platform adventure games have also lost appeal to me, since playing Mario 64.

Why? Because I dared disagree with you and ask for more information? If you can't take criticism you shouldn't be giving opinions in the first place.



I haven't played the newest one (I only have a Wii, and will never get the 360 or the PS3). I know it has got rather lukewarm reviews, so it might be as boring as you said. But it doesn't change that your points were rubbish (you called me a dickhead, so I get to use a bad word too). As you said, Super Mario constantly challenges you, despite a control scheme so easy a three-year-old can learn it.

Say the game is too easy and I can agree with you. But that's different from saying a control scheme is too easy. If you cannot make the difference between the two, you have no business talking about video games. And don't hide behind the excuse that you didn't want to give all details. Talking about a game itself or its control scheme are very different things.

You can take what I say in two ways:
- get angry, call me names, and curse me to oblivion. I won't care, and you'll just end up stressed and unhappy.
- realise you may not know everything, dare wonder whether you might be wrong, and try and ponder the criticism you received. You may decide not to do anything about it after all, but at least you won't have dismissed potentially constructive advice without thinking. And it's better for your blood pressure
Anyway, the choice is yours.

You came off as very cocky.
hahaha
I wasn't serious.

I can be . Doesn't make me wrong .



That wasn't clear. The problem with the written medium is that it lacks the subtleties the spoken language has. Since it doesn't mark intonation or body language (things that we Aspies often don't see or understand, what seem to be the reason why we can't "read" others), you can't tell simply from a written message whether it is meant to be serious or tongue-in-cheek. Maybe that's why I've always felt more comfortable writing to people rather than talking to them face to face or by phone: since there is no subtext in written text (pun intended ), it makes NTs and Aspies equal in their communication abilities. With written texts, we all need explicit marks to understand the underlying tone of a message (hey, that's a great way to explain to a NT what it is like to be autistic! Everyone has misunderstood someone else over text at least once in their life!).

In this case, you could have made clear you weren't serious by using the smiley. I'd have understood what you meant and wouldn't have reacted so strongly. Oh well, no hard feelings I hope.

Cheers,

Meh, it isn't that big a deal.

That's a long paragraph for something so small haha.

I know it may be hard for you to realize, but some people have different opinions than you. Shocking revelation, I know.
