And the mass population again gives me reason to hate them.

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within Sales More Than Double Then Original PoP

No, we can't enjoy a nice good-hearted hero trying to defeat evil and correct his mistakes. We have to have a bad-@$$ hero who's fighting for his own selfish survival by spilling blood spitting curse swords.

*sigh*

*shrugs and walks away*

Sad sad news indeed and yet, entirely predictable. Whenever videogames as a genre collectively take a step forward, soon afterwards they nearly aways take two steps back as well.

Don't ask me what I mean by that.

I'm pretty sure it has to do more with the fact that the first was so critically acclaimed than the fact that the second was darker and broodier. Everyone heard that the first was great, but also heard that the second was coming, so they held out on the first.

Argh. why do they corrupt good characters ? It bugs me, and again with the lack of anything new going to be released EVER.. I mean we had prince of persia back in the day and now we have POP: Sands of Time and now POP: Warrior Within, When are they going to get some new ideas for games instead of making the current games suck more and more with each off shoot ?

GameMaster · 12-29-2004, 04:57 PM

Maybe they'll take heed of it's reviews and use the financial success of this game to fund a better, more true-to-heart, sequel next time around.

DarkMaster · 12-29-2004, 07:44 PM

Uh, maybe because it's a good game? Don't assume that it's selling well based solely off the fact that the main character has a dark and gritty attitude.

Ginkasa · 12-29-2004, 07:51 PM

Prince of Persia was, also, a good game. However, it had a good natured hero trying undo his wrongs.

It did not sell so well.

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within takes the first game and makes the hero a killer maniac who cares only of himself.

It sells double of what the first did.

Nope, can't be the change of tone. Not at all. No chance.

Its a nice thought, it really is. But I dont believe it for a second.
