They haven't even tried to make the prince remotely resemble the one in the prequel. Give me back my cute prince!

 

[Solid]

BOOBIES!

 

[Gaspode]

Which one of both is voiced by Monica Belucci?

 

[Luscious LeftFoot]

Wow... they modelled Monica Belucci perfectly!

As Tycho so eloquently put it:

"The in-your-face motif, the hard rockin' mosh pit audio, and the focus on combat are all calculated to attract people who passed it up before. It makes me kind of mad that people who didn't like the first game get to determine the course of the franchise at expense of people who liked the Goddamn game just fine."

Guh.

 

[Troidal]

Blegh, no PoP2 for me. They've ruined the atmosphere.

If I want goth and rock, shit might as well listen to a record.

He's one to talk. He helped make BMX XXX.

owned.


But seriously, the game might be different, but it still sounds AAA. I'm going to pick it up.

Most recent update. I'll still check out PoP2, in the end, it just saddens me that everything nowadays leans towards the Dark and Edgy.

Also, it was Gabe who made BMX XXX, not Tycho!

The game industry has had circle jerks over other hero archetypes over the years. Goody-two-shoes got their time in the spotlight, so did the strong, silent type. Dark and edgy is just getting its time in the limelight.

Post of the year.

Dark and Edgy is way more cliched then the 'spoiled brat but still likeable' thing the first Prince of Sands of Time had going.


I mean dammit, look at Kain, Raziel, Bloodrayne et all. Dark and edgy has been ho-hum for freaking years.

 

[GaimeGuy]

why are people already dismissing PoP2 as bad? I mean, the review scores that have been released have all been excellent. I can understand being upset for the whole style change, straying away from the PoP formula, but I don't understand people who think that this game automatically sucks because of the general themes of the game.

I won't deny that the Prince from Sands of Time was great, and I'd prefer that he had stayed the same. Some of the stuff he said was funny as hell. I doubt we'll get TEH FUNNY this time. BUT, on the other hand, I love tha art direction of Warrior Within. Every area I've seen so far(in pictures) looks awesome. Looking forward to this thing.

I thought that was the appeal of most JRPGs ^_^

You're right, it really isn't all that cyclical, devs have been mixing and matching hero archetypes for years. It's gamers who've suddenly gotten it in their minds that dark and edgy is TEH DULL.
