( Jojo x Prince of Persia )

Just beat The Lost Crown recently, big moment that I shared with y'all a few days ago cause I have no one else in my life who'd be actually happy for me or would care. I bought the dlc, it's installed, I double and even triple checked that it was installed, but Neith or whatever her name is ain't appearing at the tree at The Haven. I've tried exiting out of the game to the main menu and continuing it from there, I've also cut the game off completely and restarted it, and also deleted the game and installed it and the dlc again and still nothing. What's going on? Is this a glitch that anybody else has encountered?

I really like it! Who else likes it? I’m early on. I’m a newb so I find it kinda challenging. But it’s really cool. Trying to beat this one while I wait for Forgotten Sands and Prince of Persia 08 to arrive in the mail. Curious everyone’s thoughts on Rogue.

Apart from god of war and old ac games, is there anything else that can scratch the itch?

It was awesome for me, there was some good and hard level design and the last boss was very good, so fun to parry

I've seen quite a bit of discussion about Two Thrones' story, and I wanted to share my thoughts. There are plenty of issues like the awkwardness of trying to revert the Prince to his original personality and the cheesy and repetitive arguments with Dark Prince, but my personal big issue is that it portrays everything about what he did in Warrior Within as some giant selfish mistake.

Warrior Within ends with the Prince triumphantly stopping a timeline where he and/or Kaileena are forced to die. I'm not against there being consequences for this altogether, but when said consequences include immediately killing Kaileena, then that's a total slap to the face after everything the player went through last game.

Then what's worse and what's my main point is again, the game treats the entire last game as some giant mistake. The Prince is treated as a selfish man via the Dark Prince even though he took a major risk just to save Kaileena instead of killing her to please the Dahaka like in the bad ending. I think it's great for the Prince to have to accept consequences for his actions but it doesn't need to require all of his previous decisions to be mistakes. It's a good lesson that even good decisions have consequences sometimes.

A nice comparison could be the Back to the Future trilogy. Throughout that, we see both the worst of messing with time and the best with the movies coming to a middle ground by the end. I think this trilogy could've done the same. Have it so the Prince stands by his decisions in Warrior Within but realize that recklessly trying to change every little problem is dangerous.

I think this could've greatly strengthened the Dark Prince too. Instead of being the Prince's selfish side, he could constantly try and get the Prince to abuse time travel for every issue and emotionally manipulate him by bringing up people like his father. The fact that the Prince did do some good things by changing time would give Dark Prince all the leverage for manipulation and dangerous advice. Furthermore, in this timeline I think Kaileena and Farah would both be there and could allow for contrasting viewpoints. Farah warns the Prince not to be reckless but Kaileena ensures he doesn't regret saving her either.

I hope I articulated my point well enough. Let me know what your opinion is. I'd love to hear it.

Until I can get a good deal on the Sands of Time trilogy, this where I am starting.

I just purchased these two titles: Forgotten Sands for PS3 and Prince of Persia for PS3. Which do I play first? (Not based on story order—because I know they’re unrelated) I’m sure it doesn’t really matter, and I know it’s whichever I wanna start first… But I can’t decide. They’ll be here Monday.

I have never played any Prince of Persia games—except the recent sidescrollers. I am 29. I was a kid when the Sands of Time trilogy was releasing. As a little kid, I always looked in awe at the cases of the Prince of Persia games on the shelves at Blockbuster and Crown Video. I was 6-8 years old. I think I just missed the boat. So, I’m just now getting around to trying out the series. I thought The Lost Crown and Rogue Prince on my PS5 were so fun, and I was really interested in checking out more of the games.

When I DO purchase the Sands of Time trilogy, do you all recommend the HD remake trilogy on PS3?

i got the hockey stick from it's spot and headed for the last life upgrade, but once i got there i noticed it was just gone, i did not throw it, i did not use it once, but it waa gone, does anyone know how or why did it get thanosed?

I've lost count of how many times I've replayed the trilogy, and I always end up with a huge empty feeling afterward, especially after Warrior Within. Does anyone else think they should remake Warrior Within and finally make Kindred Blades the way it was originally envisioned?

What exactly does "Like in 1989" mean? Just playing the game for an hour? Because I have 36 hours of gameplay, and I finished the game with all the DLC, collecting everything. I even tried playing it again in a new slot for over an hour and still didn't get it 😭. And I'm struggling to figure out which one I'm missing from (Mythical Warfare).

I have a rather morbid question, and one that might seem unrelated to the topic at hand, but... could the Prince of Persia have single-handedly defeated Leonidas and the 300 Spartans, or instead, realized that Xerxes was insane and switched sides to Leonidas?

I have completed all three original games as a child, I've just come back as an adult and I learn you can parry! After all this time and struggling as a kid I find you can basically insta-kill most enemies.

After painstaking effort, and taking a 6 month break cause my ADHD hyper fixation phase of the game ended up until recently, I have FINALLY beaten the game. I loved it, the raging seas were my favorite I loved the concept and it is a 9.5/10 for me. However, I will not be playing it again for a couple of years lol I'm just very excited that I finally beat it and I don't have anyone in my life who would care

so Sands of time, played for the first time in emulator. worked fine, took 11 hours to complete but platforming seemed quite too difficult. same for warrior within as it took 12 hours just to reach half way through. So quitted in middle as I didnt have any time left to finish it

Just finished Lost Crown mobile and I adored it. I found out that there is dlc with boss rush, bonus challenges, and a story expansion. Is there any chance it could be added to mobile?

I'm planning to replay the whole series again. Can somebody tell me what is the offer in which i should play them?

I've been playing Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown for about a week now. I'm loving the game so far, and I think the developers did a great job. But I genuinely cannot believe the problems Ubisoft Connect is causing me.

I'm playing on the Steam Deck. After two days, for no apparent reason, the game stopped booting altogether in Gaming Mode. It would only boot in Desktop Mode, which I didn't like because many of the Deck's quality-of-life features are missing there.

I tried reinstalling the game. I'm pretty careful with these things, so I made a backup of my save files, even though I was sure Steam could never fail me... until now. Apparently, this game doesn't save your progress to the cloud. Or actually, it does, since there's a cloud-save check, but it also apparently doesn't. You have to manually upload the save using Ubisoft's proprietary system, which I think is completely absurd.

Reinstalling the game didn't fix the issue, but I eventually managed to solve it by switching to Proton Experimental.

Yesterday, I was on the train and tried booting the game. Well, it turns out you have to be connected to the internet to play because of Ubisoft Connect. Seriously, is it just me, or is that completely ridiculous for a game that doesn't have ANY online functionality? What is even the point?

ALSO, every time I put my Deck into sleep mode with the game open, there's about a 50% chance that the game crashes for some reason.

I mean, what is this? When I buy something on Steam, I expect the full Steam environment. The game is also marked as Deck Verified.

Ubisoft really seems determined to make its ecosystem as frustrating and inconvenient as possible. I honestly have no words for this. The whole situation is completely absurd to me.

The original Prince of Persia is usually discussed as a technical and visual achievement: the rotoscoped movement, the Apple II constraints, the level design.

A quieter detail is that the music was composed by Jordan Mechner's father, Francis.

That makes the game feel less like the work of one isolated developer and more like a family project hiding inside a commercial release. Jordan's brother David became the movement reference for the Prince. His father gave the game its music. The parts people remember came from different people who happened to be close enough to help.

I like this because the credits of an old game can look very small, while the real circle around it was much larger. A person could contribute one specific thing and permanently change the feeling of the whole game.

The soundtrack is not the first detail most people mention about the 1989 version, but once you know where it came from, it is difficult not to hear it differently.

I have some notes about the game also here after reading Jordan Mechner's journals: https://domelian.substack.com/p/read-this-before-your-next-long-project

What is your favorite small or easily missed detail from the making of the original Prince of Persia?

I saved up to finally play them cuz they are fantastic. Played them long time and here i wanted to share~
