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.

I told you he was Draco.

Date: 2004-10-13 06:09 am (UTC)Maybe she's not around but he's doing all this fighting and brooding for her?
Very well, I shall go with this theory. But if there's anything in the game to contradict it, I shall be utterly crushed and will blame you for my broken heart.

Date: 2004-10-13 06:13 am (UTC)I'm totally playing the game again because of you and I'm rushing through it but I'm savoring all the Prince/Farrah parts.
"'I'll meet you at the baths.' She treats me like a servant! It's my own fault really. With women, you have to show them who's in charge right away or they'll walk all over you. From now on, she'll toe the line! Assuming I ever find her again, of course."
Feel the love, dude. OH! Have you ever switched to first person mode and looked at Farrah for a long time? Throughout the game, she'll react to him in different ways. It's adorable.

Date: 2004-10-13 06:20 am (UTC)OMG the baths monologue was the BEST. "STOP TALKING TO YOURSELF!" And, "I know! Maybe I'll marry her. That's the only way to keep her in line." or whatever he says. Teehee.
I haven't ever switched to first-person mode and stared at Farah, but I'm glad you're perverted enough to do so, because now I shall!

Damn you for making me all obsessed again. You had better write some fic.

Date: 2004-10-14 12:52 am (UTC)I noticed that, too! As soon as I realized that I would stare at her at every saving point just to see if she'd say something different this time...
