After being blown away by Sands, this game disappointed me — but I did like the chase sequences. And… um… I did get to the end, but she kicked my ass so I watched the ending on YouTube. Don’t look at me like that.

I can imagine you running around and trying to figure out what to do. That kind of reminds me of the time I was playing BioShock and I thought I was stuck because I would walk onto the elevator in the theater, and nothing would happen. Turns out, the texture was popping and the doors were supposed to be closed. I was supposed to push the button for the elevator doors to open, which would then start a sequence.

But yeah, not even nearly as bad as yours =(

I’m amazed by this problem of yours, but obviously it’s widespread. That really has to be the complete worst time for a game to mess up. So frustrating!

It’s ironic you wrote about this, because just yesterday I tried to install POP: Two Thrones, and found out that the copy protection on the DVD would not let me play the game. Excuse me? I shouldn’t have to go online and look for fixes just to play a game I bought!

You should write Ubisoft a letter.

Oh my goodness, my heart may have just broken.

I have never played this game before and as I was reading through your description, I was absolutely intrigued about the tale you were weaving. I was almost considering trying to get my hands on a copy (I still have an old 180 lying around here somewhere) until I reached the end of your story.

W. T. F. Really? REALLY? How in the world could that happen? To say that would be really disappointing is the biggest understatement ever. Wow. I can just picture you sitting there trying to enter that portal in every way imaginable, refusing to believe what was actually happening. Oh man, … That’s just horrible.

Ubisoft, Ubisoft - how you make me sad.

Stop rushing your games.. take your time, please!

I used to love this company, over the last few years they have bee getting a bad reputation..

Prince of Persia is certainly a cool game - it stinks when developers mess it up.

Dear god, that’s gotta be the worse non-game-ending I’ve ever heard of. Talk about a show stopper. Sorry to read that you had to go through something like that!

Hmmm…what’s the word I’m looking for?

Ah, INEXCUSABLE!

There is simply no justification for having a bug that will stop a player from completing the game.
