Forum Overview :: Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones :: It sucks because it's not good (like Sands of Time)

[quote name="FABIO"][quote name="Fortinbras"] His key points: - Having a protagonist who is from the Middle East but talks like a spoiled British old money shithead is ethnically appropriate. Having one who talks like he came from the American Midwest is not.[/quote] "charm" [quote]- Fighting the same enemy 25-30 times in a row until you've cleared out a room by using the same "jump over their head" move is rewarding gameplay combat. Having one-on-one combat where you string together combos and parry at the right times is not.[/quote] It's been the slow progression of the series to try and turn it into Soulcalibur. People seem to forget it's a game about being Errol Flynn. Complaining about the combat in SoT is like complaining about the combat in Beyond Good & Evil; it's a quick change of pace to shake things up before going back to the main game. Sands of Time combat was always over before it overstayed its welcome. Throwing in combos then making combat pop up ten times more often isn't an improvement. [quote]- Quick Time Events suck[/quote] Yes [quote]- The storyline was crap and the dialogue was crap and wah wah wah. It's a shame that they couldn't just reboot the entire storyline every fucking game like they did with Sands of Time and Warrior Within. It's fucking embarrassing to admit you think rendering the entire game a pointless exercise is excellent storytelling, but maybe Yahtzee thought Voyager was a good series too.
