Ubisoft annoys me. They have a habit of releasing games on multiple platforms, all with the same name, but with plot variations depending on the platform, that may or may not be canon in sequels. That's as if I was to make 3 different movies and give them all the same name, and then when I make a sequel, you won't know which of the 3 versions of the first movie I'm continuing the story from.

With Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, not only are there plot variations, THEY'RE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STORIES! But somehow still have the same name. There are four versions of The Forgotten Sands: The 360/PS3/PC version, the Wii version, the DS version and the PSP version, all with completely different premises and plots, taking place in different times and places from one another. It's okay that the style of gameplay and levels are designed differently, but if the story is different too, then nothing is the same, so why give it the same title? It's just misleading. Think of the poor bastard with a PSP or DS or Wii, who buys a hypothetical sequel to The Forgotten Sands, but this time on a different platform, thinking he's gonna play a continuation of the story he played through last year...

 

That has nothing to do with the current topic

 

Nothing has everything to do with the current topic.

 

Video games are never the proper topic in here, that's why we make 1-10 threads per every topic. Where are the mods?!

 

The greatest game over music ever.

 

Sonic Generations was half off, so now it's in my house.

I'm a bit miffed that the complete Back to the Future set isn't sold on disc. At least not to my knowledge. Call me old fashioned, but I still prefer physical media. Plus, won't all 5 episodes take up a good deal of HDD space?

 

Just heard that The Simpsons Arcade Game is finally coming to XBL tomorrow, and PSN next week.

The hell took you so long, Konami?

Remember when that guy on eurogamer gave uncharted 3 a score of 8/10 and the entire internet exploded?
I hate my subculture more than I hate myself for being part of it.

 

America. Home of the brave land of the free.

 

SQUEEEEEEEEEE

Oh my God. Oh my God.

 

I'd be excited if I hadn't already played it to death on the Dreamcast.

 

I played it to death back in the day too, but still massively stoked for this.

(My Dreamcast is boxed up somewhere, so not having to drag it out of storage will be a huge bonus. Plus, achievements.)

 

So long and thanks for all the fish!

 

You've had a good run, 10005. I'd be your wingman anytime.

 

Is anyone here?

 

I'm back with my new name! Because my old name sucks.

 

I'm back. Now fall into line.

 

Pfffffffffft.

 

Stupid double post.

 

I guess everyone is still MIA.
