So last night, I finally beat Prince of Persia.
I tried to drag the experience out, playing a little bit each day, but last night I just had to see how it all turned out. All I have to say is: ohmyGOD that I may have to write video game fanfic. That is so wrong.
Just a series of scattered thoughts...
- Dude, his sword at the end? Rockin'. Who needs to turn back time when you've got a sword like that? I weep for all the difficult battles I had to get through when this sword would have taken care of it in 10 seconds. Of course, where's the fun in that?
- Oh yeah, the dagger does come in handy when the Prince is PLUMMETING TO HIS DEATH, which, in my hands, was all too often.
- OMG, when Farah's in the baths, and is all, "Here I am" "I'm right here!" etc. I was so completely lost. I was like, WTF do I do?????? I think it took me more than an hour to figure it out.
- Did they do it after they bathe together?
- I still can't believe the most difficult time I ever had battling the sand monsters was way early on in the beginning, with Daddy. I mean, I definitely got better at fighting as the game wore on, so maybe it wouldn't be so difficult for me now, but at the time I was just like OMGWTF THIS IS TOO EARLY IN THE GAME FOR THIS! The rest of the battles were cake compared to that. And the last battle w/ the Grand Vizier was so lame! Though of course he was all sick and stuff.
- Did they do it in the catacombs when it's like pitch black except for occasional clouds of sand and you can hear them talking/moaning and what not?
- When the Prince lost the rest of his shirt I was just like :O.
- :O
- "No wonder Amelia kept going on and on and ON about how hot the Prince was!" I did like that he progressively lost more clothing as the game went on. All games should be like that. :))
- :O
- There was one other time when I thought they might have done it. Can't remember where now.
- How I LAUGHED AND LAUGHED when the following exchange occured:
"Look, a crack!"
"Let's see where this corridor leads first."
*pan to reveal obstacle course of booby traps*
"Okay, you can take the crack."
- And when she called him "my love"!! <3
- We never do find out his real name, right?
- He was Persian; what was she?
- It was so cute when he kisses her at the end, and she's like "Yo, I'm not skanky even though I don't blame you for assuming it given the way I dress" and then he uses the dagger to take it back! *weepz*
- I can't believe that's how it ended!!!!!!! Oh how my heart breaks for the rich, handsome, skilled-fighter Prince! Although I'm not quite sure how it happened that he was able to turn back time that far. Hmmm.
- I started playing the original PoP, and omG at how lame it is! I can't even control the dude. It's like the hardest game ever.
- I read that there's actually a sequel to Sands of Time. Confirm or deny?
Next installment of Portkey Party is delayed a bit because Jade doesn't have Internet access! Woe! However, she'll soon have DSL, which will make up for the pain of these last couple of weeks.
Edited: Eeeeeeeeeeee -- "Uber-producer Jerry Bruckheimer, looking to replicate the success of his film PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, has acquired the rights to the video game PRINCE OF PERSIA to adapt into a big-budget epic for Disney." Full article here. And the best thing? One of the co-writers is the game's creator. Hopefully he had something to do w/ the Prince/Farah storyline.
