Prince of Persia Thread

I was watching the trailer on Youtube and the comments were a mix of "this isn't the Prince" and "this is appropriation because this guy's not Persian, there was no rap music, this game is dumb."

And I'm like, "you realize the Trilogy wasn't an accurate representation of Persian culture and the main character was voiced by Yuri Lowenthal, an American, right?"

And then another complaint was "oh you're not the Prince this time, that's lame." Do people not understand what an Artifact Title is.

I hate it especially because some of these comments are saying "as someone who played the trilogy this isn't Prince of Persia, way to go Ubisoft..."

BRO. The "trilogy" you mean? The old side scrolling NES/DOS-era version? Or the obviously more well-known one for the Playstation 2?

That ain't the original, get out of here. This series has rebooted itself three times. This isn't about Ubisoft not "respecting the fans" its about you not liking a dark-skinned protagonist. None of these complaints when we had the last Prince of Persia or the one before that.

Heck in the first game the player character wasn't even the Prince of Persia at the start. He became the Prince at the end of the game after rescuing the Princess and becoming her husband.

People complaining about Sargon not being the Prince is amusing in hindsight. Since he actually is the Prince, at least one of them.

Playing through The Lost Crown, and wow the secret rooms are a nasty difficulty spike. If I didn't have a guide I'd have assumed they were impossible with the abilities I had

The secret rooms are why I ultimately decided not to purchase the game. I don't need flashbacks to attempting the White Palace in Hollow Knight in my life again lol.

...To be clear, I'm talking about the mandatory puzzle platforming section called the secret rooms, not any rooms that are secret

Oh lol, I was talking about some of the optional puzzle rooms that are needed to unlock something.
