Playing Prince of Persia, it's a nice game but a bit too easy and the combats feel weird
There's a reason for that. The combat is fucking weird. I'd go so far as to say that the combat sucks. I liked the game, apart from that.

I beat Batman:AA, and collected everything in the game. I loved it. The mixture of fantastic gameplay, voice acting, and story are almost unparalleled in modern gaming.

Batman is fucking great. Still working on it though, and I'm not sure I'm willing to try and get everything, but it is the only game where I've actually considered it.

The combat killed the game for me. I couldn't get past the bit where you fight your mutant father. Maybe one of these days I'll try it again with an invincibility cheat or something.

He didn't say SOT so I'm assuming he didn't mean Sands of Time.

I concede your point, but the original Prince of Persia didn't have wierd combat. It's combat was of an acceptable level at the time, though it's considered fairly shitty today.

I....think he means the Cell Shaded version, the one OANST was discussing a couple of pages back.

I was talking about the latest PoP, the cell shaded one...

The only other I played was Warrior Within, and I really think WW was better gameplay wise.

I don't have a problem with the combat. Except getting the 14-move combat chain achievement. I got to 13 then the guy died.

I have a very good chance of winning. If I end up losing I will probably end up getting second place. If that happens I intend to guilt them into giving me something.

I have had the best time on the weekly leader boards for four weeks running. I just have to keep it up.

The weekly leader board for 3-8. And yes, I noticed that you passed me up on the overall leader board for points. Dick.

We are really down to the wire on the 'Splosion Man contest. I can tell because my inbox has been flooded with requests for me to tell people how I got the time that I did. I'm a little surprised that so many people would think that I would be dumb enough to tell them. I also just received about half a dozen friend requests last night. All from people on the 'Splosion Man boards.

Don't bother, just dispatch the regular enimies first, take a walk up to your daddy and keep circling him in a side-step 'till he attacks (90% chance he'll miss), then mash the fucking attack button untill he blocks, then repeat.

I've just finished Half-Life 2, and Portal a few days ago. They were brilliant games. Time to start Episode 1. Also, I bought Starfox Adventures and I've played that for a bit. When I rented it as a kid I never realised how short it was. Man...

I just finished portal and am playing Half Life 2.

Also, still Quake 2 on hard. Had to start again, though. I want to through my mouse at the screen every time a medic bursts through the roof or a wall.

Well, I have lost the 'Splosion Man contest. Khaled13 (the number 1 player on N+) came in and skull fucked my time. I am going to have to be content with second place.
