They need to stop while they're semi-ahead. An action game doesn't have the versatility to go more than three games, unless it's a PvP. And even then, that's pushing it.

I haven't even played the second game, much less the third, and neither do I plan on playing them, or any others that might follow. I own the first PoP from when it was still interesting. That's it for me.

WHAT?

Zelda, Onimusha, Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid. Off the top of my head, these.

And if I heard right, Prince of Persia are quality games. God of War was fucking Game of the Year at IGN. Those two could go past three games and still sell.

Zelda -- RPG (I consider it one anyhow)
Onimusha -- Don't know haven't played it.
Resident Evil -- I consider it RPG too. It's not straight action.
Metal Gear Solid -- I've only played two, but to my knowledge this is a stealth game.
God of War -- Don't know haven't played it.

And the point isn't that they won't sell. Some of the crappiest games make it big.

It's that after a while, trying to implement new plots and graphics in the same old routine won't work. They're going to go too far and have a total flop, I fear.

Zelda - Definatly action. The game has no RPG elements whatsoever.
Onimusha - You can upgrade your weapons, but it's still action
Resident Evil- Where do you see any RPG elements?
Metal Gear Solid- Stealth game. Stealth game = action
God of War- Self-explanitory

Devil May Cry you can upgrade your weapons, and I heard that anyone that called it an RPG got sniped by a Muslim.

So, you know. Keep it on the down-low, Coronae.

:lol:

Zelda: Should have put 'Don't know haven't played it' but a friend of mine is crazy about it and he said it was RPG. Maybe he's just being an ass.

Resident Evil: You know, this came from a conversation with friends *not the one mentioned above*. I know it's a survival-horor, but we came to the conclusion that the game relies much more on puzzle solving and strategy than pure action, as the only enemies you absolutely MUST kill are bosses. And even then, some of the bosses you can run away from. Plus, finding keys, ammo, guns, etc. give it an RPG-ish feel. But I may be crazy.

Metal Gear Solid: Yep, thought it was stealth. But stealth is not the same type of action as say PoP. That's what I meant.

I knew God of War was action, but since I haven't played it, I wasn't gonna pass judgement on it. I've heard great reviews, though.

Heh, I like DMC. Yes, you can upgrade weapons, but the game is obviously more action-oriented. From what Tyler said, it's like Onimusha in that respect.

And like I said earlier, there are exceptions.

Strangely enough, you stick a pretty, topless Arab guy in a video game and the plot doesn't really matter to me at all....

Seconded.
The plot was terrible, the voice acting and script (bar the Dark Prince) were miserable, especially "Kaileena", who sounded like a drugged up hippy, and environments were repetetive and dated.
And the outtakes video...were I eight, I would probably have found it funny.

A-anyway, for PoP4, I thought up a plot a-ages ago, which I still feel to be good. Twists, turns, very Prince of Persia, and it doesn't focus around the Sands of Time! In fact, there aren't any whatsoever.

[quote][code:1]---------------------------------
Prince of Persia: The Demon Blade
---------------------------------[/code:1]

The Prince and Princess Farah; now King and Queen of Persia have long since cleaned up the kingdom, and Babylon has never been richer. The King regularly goes adventuring, discovering new and more fantastic treasures for his city's ever growing wealth.
And then it stops all together. The kingdom goes dark and suddenly weary.
Queen Farah, has met her end; death to her fourth and final child, as she died shortly after giving birth to him.
The King finds this hard to accept, so do his two sons and his daughter, who immidiately cast out their new sibling: teasing and abusing him.
Still, the boy is strong, and his courage, strength and power quickly grow on him. But he can never get over what the boy had cost him.
At the age of eighteen, one would never suspect this of the new Prince of Persia, as he appears to have grown up well; polite, noble and a decent human being.
As he grows weary, the King goes on one final expedition, alone, and in secret. Weeks pass before he returns, and in those weeks, the eldest son, Sharaman, is given the throne until his father is found.
And upon the King's return, he has but one single artefact with him: a sword. Light and swift, truely more beautiful than anything in Persia, it glows red as he holds it, and shines out through golden rivets on the blade as he uses it.
The city rejoyces (?) upon seeing the King once more, and rejoyces more upon seeing that he appears to have become his old self once again.
But all is not as it would seem.
Far away in Athens, the Greek capital, and clearly among the most beautiful cities in existence, has forever envied the beauty of Babylon, and now a plan forms to take the title of the most beautiful city in all the known world.
Two nights before a plan is formed, and a week before it is carried out.
Under cover of darkness, and dressed as merchants, the greek warriors broke into Babylon, and quickly found a way into the Palace. They are quickly discovered, and a battle amasses in the royal chambers.
The young Prince joins in this battle [which would serve as a tutorial in game], eager to please his father. Upon discovering that they are after the sword, he runs upstairs to protect the artefact. But he is too late: the sword is gone.
The King, blind with rage, orders that his greatest force pursue the thieves. His two youngest sons and himself join the fleet.
They make it to Athens, and attack the city. The thieves were slow, however, and the battle was quickly won by the Persian side. But they did not stop there. Led by the King, Persia made sure that this would never happen again. The King broke into the palace, with his two sons at either side. Cornering the King, he sends his youngest son (The Prince of Persia) to kill The Prince of Greece. There is no hesitation. The King then warns the Greek king that if this happens again, he would personally kill every single man, woman and child in his family.
The Prince quickly realizes how out of character this sword made his father, and begins to question whether the swords powers are for good after all.
The Greek King, however, is not without cunning. He had already set a trap at the Persian shores, knowing that the King would come and reclaim the sword.
Upon returning to his kingdom, the King of Persia was ambushed by the Greek soldiers, and his entire fleet and family captured.
The youngest Prince was able to escape, put on a ship with most incompetant guards. Be broke out of the ship just as the fleet set sail.
A tail of soldiers made a clear path to Babylon, and the Prince killed his way along them as he returned to the city to deliver the news. His brother, the only remaining family member besides his sister began to amass a second army, larger but no stronger than the first. The Prince, reckless and impatient, set sail in secret, making for the city alone.
He drops anchor several miles outside, near one of the many neighboring towns that Athens has, and just out of sight of the Athenian citedal.
He eventually finds himself at a Prison, the exact one in which his brother is held captive. He breaks in, and sets him free. He also comes across a young woman, who, in spite of being quite sharp and angry, he feels she should be set free. He breaks her out, and sends both she and his brother back to Babylon. She, however, is persistent, and breaks out of the boat, and accompanies him to Athens.
The Prince enters Athens, and fights his way to the Palace, where he confronts the King, and orders that his father be set free. Unfortunately, he is captured and imprisoned, far away from his father. As for the mysterious woman...
He finds himself rescued, the guards killed, and his cell opened, with his weapons restored to him. The woman he rescued (oh...let's call her...Roxanna? (the first name that comes to mind. It has nothing to do with you, Yavanna)) seems to have repaid the favor.
The two of them return to the Palace. Several days have passed, and by now, the city is ravaged by war, brought on by his Brothers' armies.
The Prince, hardened by the fighting, darkened by what he has been put through, makes one final stand at Athens' Palace, now weakened by the war.
Upon confronting the King, he sees his father one last time, before he is murdered by the very sword he first arrived at this city to take.
The Prince is angered beyond reckoning and attacks the king, who calls for reinforcements during the fight as he tends to his wounds. Yet, as the reinforcements thin out and eventually vanish all together, The Prince is left to carry out the final blow.
He slices off the King's hand. The Athenian King falls backward, half in pain, half in fear, and falls to the ground. The Prince takes up his father's sword, and powered by his rage, it shines redder than ever, and gleams with more gold than he had ever seen. He decapitates the dying King, and runs to his father's body.
Roxanna catches up to him and appears to be comforting him. Yet, as she does so, she makes to steal his blade. He tries to push her away, but she persists. Pulling a dagger, she runs at him. Doing the only thing he can, he brings up his sword and takes her down.
And, with this act, he unleashed a curse upon himself, greater than any other.[/quote]

Tell me what you think.

You did not hear right. "Warrior Within" was a bug-infested peice of nonsense. [i]A lot[/i] of scenery re-usage (but using the lame "you're in a different time zone, so although this place is 98% the same, one of those bricks has fallen now" excuse) with a derivative battle system with an oh-so-bad, oh-so-clich cheesy 'metal' soundtrack.

The only thing that made it even worth loading up was The Dahaka's general coolness, but not even he could save that game. Very, very dissapointed with it.

[u]Yharg! Warnin to all ye! This post contain spoilars! Yharg![/u]

How does it have a good plot, exactly?
The vizier kills Kaileena, thus releasing the sands (oh no! I never saw [i]that[/i] coming!), and the Prince spends the game trying to get revenge. No twists, no turns. Oh, they also threw in the Dark Prince and Farah to try and keep people interested.
The story was badly presented, so the gamer has no real insentive to kill the Vizier. He's just an ugly-ass butterfly. Whoopdedoo. Were there any leadup fights, or any short meetings between the two of them, then maybe I would have wanted to kill the Vizier by the end of the game. Instead, though I wanted to slaughter that arrogant, stupid, wussy, rude, and downright annoying Prince. Yes, I hated the Prince. I wanted the Dark Prince to take over, at least his character was believable. He didn't go whining about his dad. And, come on, who didn't expect the old guy to be dead? He didn't really have any part in the story, other than brief and annoying mentionings of him by the Prince. The fact that he is not seen while he is alive means that the gamer has no real need to care about him.
I know he appeared in SoT, but, as similar as the two stories are (heck, you even climb a really big tower from the outside again! Both times you were thrown down by the Vizier), this isn't the Sands of Time. This is The Two Thrones, and by the end of the game, I felt completely unfulfilled.
To me, a good game needs a good and compelling story. This is why the DMC games, to me, aren't addictive; because I have no insentive to find out what happens next, as nothing interesting seems to be happening now.
