Anybody else "drifting away" from games lately?

[K73SK]

Oh, great or not great RPG's, I didn't know we were talking about THOSE...

Skyrim.

...You're kidding, right?

So... yeah, still don't agree with your assessment.

uhhh; although your correct in some aspect, heres where your wrong (and ill make it brief cuz its 2:12 am here...):

well start with sands of time-

-In this game; it offers farah as an AI character; so already thats backup in battle. and if you know what your doing, then you can avoid farah entering a battle and still have her attack enemies...

-your offered the most powerful attack that the dagger of time can give; a full stop of time...

-the battle system is so unique and complicated that this game forces you to indulge into battles....

-There are other types of controls, like the ability to freeze enemies in space while you handle all the other enemies (and there are crap loads)...

-the ablility to slow time

- and 3-4 sword upgrades



as for The 2 Thrones

-you get the dark prince, who is much more stronger than the prince alone...

-you get the eye of the storm, which blows away enemies and more..

-you get an epic boss fight at the end

-the other bosses kick butt!

-the speed kill system is amazing! it saves alot of time..

-the monsters do work in teams

-and the puzzles combined with the constant fights and the random dark prince appearance makes the game fun! as opposed to forgotten sand; where everything is handed to you on a silver plate...

i rest my case...

*sigh*

-In this game; it offers farah as an AI character; so already thats backup in battle. and if you know what your doing, then you can avoid farah entering a battle and still have her attack enemies...

Farah can help out if she lands hits with her arrows, true, but she's also dumb and likes to stand in one place or randomly wander around not doing anything, and if she dies it's an automatic game-over. She's kind of more a hindrance than a help, really!

-your offered the most powerful attack that the dagger of time can give; a full stop of time...

For pete's sake, Forgotten Sands is not about time powers, 野菜*. I've been over this, but the elemental powers you get already cover all the bases that the time powers did in the previous games. And as for the sword upgrades, you can totally upgrade your attack power in Forgotten Sands. Relatively quickly, too!

-the battle system is so unique and complicated that this game forces you to indulge into battles....

Would you mind backing this up? How is it complicated? You fight dudes, and you can use acrobatic moves to help fight dudes, or use time powers to make fighting dudes easier.

as for The 2 Thrones:

-you get the dark prince, who is much more stronger than the prince alone...

Yes, but your health also drains constantly, and if it runs out you die. The point of the Dark Prince sections was to get through them as fast as possible before your life-force is drained away.

-you get the eye of the storm, which blows away enemies and more..
-you get an epic boss fight at the end
-the other bosses kick butt!

Again, would you mind backing this up? Stating an opinion and then not using any kind of argument to support that opinion isn't going to win anyone over!

-the speed kill system is amazing! it saves alot of time..

Speed kills are cool, yes, but they also fit with the theme of the game. The Prince is trying to find the Vizier as quickly as possible, and does his best to avoid enemies he doesn't have the time to deal with, hence the stealth kills. Forgotten Sands isn't really stealthy, what with the mobs of dudes you fight, so stealth kills would've been out of place.

-the monsters do work in teams

...yeah? They do in the other games, too, Forgotten Sands included.

-and the puzzles combined with the constant fights and the random dark prince appearance makes the game fun! as opposed to forgotten sand; where everything is handed to you on a silver plate...

That's just bullshit. I'm starting to think we didn't even play the same game. At what point is something in Forgotten Sands "handed to you on a silver plate"?

i rest my case...

You're not doing a terribly good job of convincing me of your opinions. Not liking a game as much as its predecessor is totally fine! But it would help if you gave well-thought-out reasons for them.

well Devil May Cry >>>>> Prince of Persia

In terms of combat? Yes. In terms of platforming? Not really.

Edit: *How come this doesn't have a word filter?

[K73SK]

Should probably make a DMC vs. POP thread instead of putting all that here. Mostly because this is about us drifting away from games in general, not arguing about what games are better lol.

P.S. *it does now
