Man I really love that "final first words" at the end. I don't really mind Ubisoft not coming back to this prince since his arc is well concluded already.
@@jeremy123577 I guess it’s due to transforming into the dark prince for the first time before falling into the sewers that it got rid of his upper clothing. That’s the only logical conclusion I can come up with.
I just realized that Arkham Knight is just a more elaborate version of this exact game... The internal duality struggle, the corruption across the populace (sands vs fear toxin), stealth and combat, environment puzzles...
I love your long form, no damage/no upgrades run videos! I think of them as "curated" because you offer insights into the gameplay, your particular approach but also into the story and character motivations. Thank you!
Leo I love these videos with curated commentary like this and the overall insight you put into game design and other narrative tidbits one might’ve missed. It’s honestly really fun and refreshing. I hope to see more 🤗
Wow I've played this game many many years ago when I was a child, I used to get so scared by the dark prince itself, I could feel the fear through the game when I've played but unfortunately as child the two boss fight was way too difficult for me back then so I never continued after, but today I've watched your video from very start to end and I'm able to feel that child in me again and that kid is just soo happy to see you play the game throughout and surely his mind is blown considering you didn't even took a single damage, I'd just say wow and thank you for your upload, I'm emotional right now and respect to your research and trials through each section of this gameplay before you started the no damage run... Keep it up, God bless you ;)
Thank you so much for watching, thank you for your wonderful comment, and for loving Prince of Persia! The games were also a big part of my childhood, and they showed me the magic of games and showed me some of my favorite stories in games. I'm glad I could bring some of that back for you. ^_^
I loved this series as a child, on a personal note I love that they used the "hidden" ending from WW as canon going into this game. Skilled gameplay well paced commentary and showed all the story, amazing watch.
I don't remember there being so many stealth sections in this game. Probably always went straight to combat A very enjoyable video. Your commentary's great
Wasn’t expecting to learn that PoP 08 reused a bunch of the music from this game, haha. What a fantastic trilogy of games. This might be my least favourite SoT game, but it still kicks ass. Fantastic work on this run, Leo!
Yooo let’s go! I love the AC content, but I’ve always been a PoP fanboy at heart from a young age. Loving the content, you’ve inspired me to do an retrospective on my alternate channel dude, idk when it will be up but I’ll give credit where it’s due. You’re the GOAT man, keep it up and don’t let the dream die 💪🏼🙏🏼
Me too! The whole reason I got into Assassin's Creed is because I'm a PoP fan and at the time AC1 was first being reported on, it was meant to be the next Prince of Persia game, so that's what got me excited about it. In the end it turned into something else I fell in love with as well, but yeah, that's the backstory here ^_^
I told you more than a few weeks ago, that I would be watching this segmented (heh) in the evenings and I did! But it took me several weeks to actually see all of this video because I kept falling asleep from your soothing voice that I often only progressed in 5-10 minute segments. So I hopefully added another 30-40 views to your viewcount 😂 TTT is the PoP game from that trilogy that I didn't really have much exposure to prior to this video. I had a friend who was really into the PoP games and I watched them play through all of SoT and a good chunk of WW, but never ended up seeing TTT as we both changed schools, so we had less opportunities to hang out. This playthrough was a wonderful way to experience the game for the first time. Thank you for making it.
Thank you for this wonderful comment, and for actually enjoying this video. It was really hard to make as you can imagine, but it's something even I go back to sometimes. It makes me happy you found it fun to experience. ^_^
Man !! Your Voice and Commentary Style are Absolutely Amazing !!! Would LOVE to Watch More Such Gameplays with Peaceful Commentaries such as this from you !! I Watched this Without a Single Skip Today. Amazing Man !!
Thank you so much! I have a few other commentaries in this playlist. Not too many, but I love making them. czcams.com/play/PL36oulzyfYiMXZ6HjqjplEipfCpDPizS3.html
This game has a special place in my heart. Great job! ❤ I am convinced that Eivor vs. Odin in Assassin's Creed Valhalla is a direct reference to Prince vs. Dark Prince. There are way too many parallels. Almost 100% identical in everything. It even ends in the same way.
There's definitely a bit of that same vibe, yeah. I love stories with a malevolent voice in the main character's mind, always an amazing source of tension, and in some situations you can have dialogue without other characters being present, which is a useful storytelling tool.
Thanks so much for the support, I hope I can keep releasing interesting runs like these. I'm hesitant to just do "normal" playthroughs with commentary because I want to do something that fits the channel and also sets me apart from other commentaries on CZcams, and it's sometimes hard to find those games that let me do that. I do have one idea, but I need to upgrade my computer before I can do it.
@@LeoKRogue the only thing missing on your channel in my opinion, which isn’t an issue for me to be honest but probably effects your views negatively is the sheer length of your playthroughs. People don’t make an effort to save videos to watch later and typically prefer their content in shorter parts. Of course I’ll just stick to watching later and enjoying your rogueish mindset.
Thanks for this playthrough, i was about to drop the game at 3:00:00 mark, i was going crazy with that stupid jump, switched to 30 fps limiter on steam deck and i finally got it!
I completed this game maybe 50 times. I can play this with my eyes closed. And your video brings back so much nostalgia. Thanks dude, very nice job 😘👍🏼
I really enjoyed this playthrough and hearing your explanations with it. I knew about this PoP trilogy back in the day but only had played the original 1989 game and the NES version of it in my childhood. I just started playing Sands of Time in PS2 this year. These are gorgeous looking games, really deep in terms of character development and narrative.
Two tips for you if you'd like to revisit this game some day:- 1. If you want to get sands from every enemy barring the wolves after getting Sharaman's sword, hit them with combos beginning with the dagger. Combos ensure you sands. 2. For the wall rebound glitch in the Middle Tower before the game comes to an end, you needn't change the frame rate of your game. When wall running towards the rebound, release the wall run button (I guess it's right mouse click in default controls) while keeping the directional button pressed as soon as you reach the leafy patch on the wall & rebound as usual. The key here is releasing the wall run button before his feet cross the leafy patch. That's it. It's just a neat little trick. I saw in a lone CZcams video. I would've linked you the video but somehow CZcams doesn't post links in comments so I wrote it down. Your vids are enjoyable! Thanks!
Thanks for the tips, the Sands one from combos is huge. I actually did try that trick for the shutter several times but for whatever reason I found it really unreliable, and in the end syncing my frames down helped me and other players get it in a single try so I went with that instead. ^_^
Phenomenal no damage run! I thought your sands of time no damage was impressive. But this is on a whole another level. Especially how you beat the first boss with no damage!
@@LeoKRogue I was about to give up on this game because of the twins boss fight. It's too hard to understand how to defeat them. Watched you playing it and finished them in a single try. It was fun to play the fight. Thank you. 🙂
PoP is my favourite franchise from my childhood. Very cool video, it must have been a lot of work to do the video and to get to get to know the game this much. Much appreciated, I watched the whole thing. Pretty cool! I'm off to check if you have other similar videos of the other games. Subbed. Cool guy!
Thank you so much. Definitely one of my favorite as well. For now I just have one for Sands of Time. Warrior Within is exceptionally difficult to No Damage, I struggle to actually find a CZcams video online that's even done it at all. (There are some "All Bosses" vids on the platform though.)
@@LeoKRogue Yes, I can see that. I'm currently watching the Sands of Time video. :) I'll will check out the rest. Pretty cool that you let the game speak, while also adding your commentar on the challenge and the game as well. You don't waste time in the game, it's short as it can be, and it gets me to relive the game a bit again. I mean it, it's really nice content.
There are SO MANY insane plateforming opportunities in this game that would be incredible in Assassin's Creed. I find it crazy most were never used. I'm thinking about the headdown chains, the curtins slip, the interwall slide. They feel and look so great.
Yeeess, I love them. Two Thrones' level design is probably the closest to Assassin's Creed out of all the Prince of Persias for the sole reason that it's set in a city, and you really, really get a sense of how strong 2005 Ubi's linear level design was, for parkour.
Hey, watching the last section, replaying on GOG PC myself. The flawed 60fps jump just somehow landed me on the lowest dagger plate. Just where we need to get so I no spoil there. Music around the tower is hideous.. so true! Mad props for handling that annoying chariot ride without rewinds .. impossible for me with a Gamepad at least ..
I think that would eventually become boring and tiring, honestly, no matter what kind of player you were. I definitely wouldn't want every game under the sun to handle stealth takedowns that way. Whenever I'm thinking about a game mechanic I always ask myself, "This would be fun the first ten times. Would it stay fun the next 1000 times?" Pretty important.
2:11:13 Yep, this bossfight is where my childhood playthrough of this game ended. The worst part is iirc that if you die against the boss you have to do the whole charriot chase before it over again.
Man, this is so awesome! I’ve always loved the PoP game, and I'm very sad that it isn’t as popular as the AC games, so it makes me so happy to see its community still alive
Prince of Persia is great, yeah. Lost Crown is actually one of the greatest Metroidvanias ever made IMO, I truly loved it from start to finish. The wallrunning, the platforming, the trap-gauntlets, it's all there. I highly recommend it, and hopefully Ubisoft works on more PoP titles.
Ghost of Tsushima, Arkham Games, Shadow of Mordor especially, due to the two souls in one body story and gameplay mechanic. Shadow of Mordor is really the big one.
Finally got around to finishing this! Great gameplay, I don’t know too much about PoP outside of what Jcers showed me but after watching this, I must say that I’m a little sad these games aren’t available on Xbox :’( You can really see the early AC DNA in this game and it’s so killer. Imagine AC with the full movement options of Prince of Persia.
I have a No Damage run of Sands of Time as well, which I'm not sure if you've seen. czcams.com/video/hVtihGc6lSg/video.html And yeah, I agree. These games are really special and they deserve to be more available. We can say the same of a lot of older games, I'm sure.
I enjoyed the video very much tbh! I love the commentary and how you actually let us enjoy the game and the story while you are playing, i even watchwd your sand of time video which is also amazing. I honesty cant believe you havent done The warrior within! Please do it for us boomers to seal the trinity! Looking forward to more of this content
@@LeoKRogue the fact that you are replying to comments two years later is crazy. It honestly doesnt matter if no dmg or not, i believe we all are here for the nostalgi and your commentary. Watching this really got my excited to see a WW walk through and i cant see myself finding someone else doing it since Ive watch 2/3 of them by you. Best of luck
Again a really awesome video. You can clearly see that you loved this series and I thank you for bringing me good memories from my childhood from when i had to leave open the ps 2 so i can finish the game because i didn t have a memory card for it xD
I always found that the ending was a bit meh, but most of it was because I wanted more of the sands of time saga, I love the ambients and the platforming ♥
Yeah, I can see that. I really loved the ending because it actually tied everything together in the time-loop theme, and even makes Sands of Time's ending so much more powerful. Wouldn't have said no to more Sands of Time back when I first played it years ago, though. I even enjoyed the Forgotten Sands, for what it was worth.
2:31:44 there is actually a glitched overpower jump in the hanging gardens which reduces the time of solving the puzzle by almost 90%. I accidentally found it while jumping around platform to platform
That's amazing. I don't remember if I use any glitches, major or otherwise in this walkthrough so I'm not sure if it would've applied in this case, but I love to find out about cool tech like that.
@@LeoKRogue Fair. It was a glitch in the game mechanic. Apparently when I was jumping around like an idiot I accidentally jumped on that correct platform with an in game glitch. I then simply rotated the lever and voila! The puzzle wasn't solved but I reached the next place anyway
I’ve started getting into Prince of Persia after replaying assassin’s creed games + other games from that era too many times and I’ve concluded that late ps2 era - early ps3 and 360 era was the peak of gaming and it’s all downhill until new technological paradigms force big companies to get creative again
That's something I miss about gaming from a long time ago, how technology improvements weren't just used for visuals but to push gameplay possibilities forward. The only big one I can think of right now is using raytracing to generate light and shadow that's used for stealth gameplay.
Same, honestly. I think it'd be cool to see it in at least one, even if it's a short-distance thing. Mirror's Edge and Dying Light 2 both have it, after all.
Thank you Leo for this video, it was very entertaining to watch start to finish because of the unique playthrough. I got to enjoy the story of the game alongside your awesome gameplay.
I have one for Sands of Time! :D czcams.com/video/hVtihGc6lSg/video.html Warrior Within is not looking good for this kind of run because of how "messy" the game's design is -- it doesn't let the player approach it with clean precision the way Sands and Two Thrones do, to the point that when I was looking for WW Hard No Damage runs on CZcams, I didn't find a single one -- only No Deaths. This leads me to believe that it's not possible otherwise someone would've already done it, I mean the game has been out for eighteen years. I'll scout Forgotten Sands and PoP08, though, in case it's doable there.
3:00:52 that one jump gave me a lot of trouble on my latest playthrough of this game. I was so frustrated with this jump that at some point I had to look it up on the internet, and to my surprise, I wasn't the only one struggling. I found a video showing the proper spacing for the jump, and it's super awkward, you have to end your wallrun early-ish and jump pretty early but not too early and you still barely make it. Fortunately I actually managed to do it, after a dozen more attempts T-T
I got it a few times, but this kind of move with that small %chance to get it reliably just isn't something you want to be playing with on a No Damage No Rewind run, even _with_ checkpoints, so I just decided to say fuck it and drop the FPS.
That was an enjoyable watch! Learnt a few new skips. My favourite in the entire trilogy. For me, every successive installment was better than the previous one, although in the grand scheme of things, I would say that Sands of Time is more valuable to the history of gaming. Sands of Trilogy is probably the only franchise where I love all the games. Two Thrones could've been Kindred Blades, & there are some bugs in the game, but by the end, I'm happy with the finished product. It's amazing what they did in a year's time of development. Most people don't think this way, but I think this trilogy has one of the best stories in the world of video games. A captivating start & a satisfying end! Two Thrones & Warrior Within for me has lots of replay value! Truly gems worthy of cherishing for me ...
I love The Sands Trilogy's story. I think it's quite beautiful and poetic in so many ways, I love how it all comes full-circle and ends the same way it begins. Perfect for this kind of series. The Prince and Farah are one of my all-time favorite gaming couples, as well.
Your thoughts on plot holes? Is the reason why the Timeline had changed because of killing Kaileena in the Past? 7 years after killing The Vizier would have us finish the game killing Dahaka in the present and returning to Babylon with Kai. Or simply having her alive in the Prince’s time “erases” everything sand- related?
There is a very small chance for Warrior Within, but a chance still. It probably won't be No Damage though, game is wayyy too random and unfair compared to the other two haha
Sooooo happy you did this Leo. This is my favorite of the trilogy. Mainly coz of the amount of time I spent on it. This is the only one I owned for my PSP which was my first, proper video game related thing ever. The PSP port wasn't the best when it came to details like the Prince's tattoes. But I can enjoy those here. Are you gonna do Warrior Within? Feels weird to skip that one. Also a little strange to skip combat as the Dark Prince, but you do you maestro. Loved this.
I tried to do Warrior Within but it seems like it's not possible, unfortunately. I even looked for Hard Mode No Damage runs on CZcams and on other websites, and not a single one actually exists that I've discovered, there's only No Death which would just feel weird. Warrior Within is a messy, sloppily-designed game that doesn't let you play "clean" and that really bothers me because aesthetically and structurally I _really_ love it. :(
@@LeoKRogue Would you open to just playing Warrior Within? I think a lot of your viewers enjoy your longform commentary run. So maybe just stream the game? I would actually like to see you do the same for some AC games but you have already done those in the past, and considering the current state of the franchise, I won't blame you if you are not interested. I remember attending your Valhalla streams and your commentary made them crazy fun
And I also agree with you about warrior within. For example the way the enemies are modeled(they have small bodies) and the way they crowd you, their speed, combined with the dark aesthetic really makes it difficult to read their attacks and respond(speaking as someone who actually like countering in PoP). It's done much better here
I love this game, it was soo good "experiencing" it again and you made a really good video, I like the narration. There were some close calls with the traps like at 2:31:13 . Was it all palnned like this or was it actually close?
It was actually pretty close. 😅 As good as people try to play, no one is perfect and unexpected weird situations happen that you have to do your best with, in the moment. Close calls like those are a big part of that.
Whats crazy is that i basically played the game no upgrades as a child because i had no patience and enjoyed playing through the story more 😂, made boss fights way harder than it needed to be, but that statue puzzle is what got me actually
I did! One of my favorite mechanics. I typically value having my secondary hand empty for grabs and throws, and I'm not usually fighting the rest of the time.
To be honest, that entire intro from ramparts to the throne room can be done in pure stealth i.e. no kills except for 1 archer guarding the entry point right before the harbor district walkthrough thanks to amazing PoP YTuber Vipeazone(I highly recommend u check his channel). Also, if you're looking for style points in parkour, take ideas from speedrunners those who do glitchless runs, coz I learned a lot from them. Anyways, awesome run Leo, and I'm amazed that you did it without damage coz this game's nearly 19 years old from now, which means the controls are very janky sometimes and the Physics of this game sometimes really puts me on the edge. I'd like to see if u can release a no damage run for Warrior Within, coz that game's a pure NIGHTMARE and I hope it'll keep you on your chair! If you're interested in this challenge, one more thing I'd like to add, no time powers 'til you are Sand Wraith + u can use Eye of the Storm esp in Mechanical Tower walkthrough specifically for those spiked beasts. Good Luck if you try! Also, Warrior Within is the toughest game in the entire PoP SoT Trilogy, and if you can't kill enemies in The Two Thrones and Sands of Time, then Warrior Within is pure Nightmare.
That's all pretty great. Part of the philosophy I had for these videos was to try to do them in a way anyone could copy if they were looking for a guide through certain areas and the like. I didn't want to do anything that was too tough to execute. I will probably never do a No Damage run of Warrior Within, for the exact reasons you listed. I just don't think the game is friendly to that kind of playstyle, it's a lot more sloppy, buggy, random, and poorly-designed for flawless play than SoT and TTT are IMO. Really makes me unwilling to spend the time. I just wouldn't enjoy doing it, so I likely won't. Good game casually though.
Bro prince of persia have unity and rev abilities at same time Its so fucking cool Knife as hook blade And the turning on the beam as unity And the horse move from brotherhood was orginaly in prince of persia
I watched and briefly commented on this video a couple of months ago, but today I watched it again, and after reading some long and pretty good comments, I'd like to share my story. I got to know the trilogy of the Prince of Persia when I was a child, in 2005 I guess, but first with The Sands of Time and The Warrior Within. Yeah, my vrother had a PS2 and disc with those two games. Later I bought myself a PS2 and of course the new Prince of Persia The Two Thrones disc. I didn't really like this game at first. I know, The Dark Prince, new mechanics, stealth kills (which I really hated before), new locations and bosses, and of course a continuation of a good and beloved story, but the graphics were bad, very bad, and that's why I didn't before didn't like this game. Now I know why the graphics were the way they were and we probably could have had a different game and ending to the story if the developers had continued with the first prototype of the game when it was still called Prince of Persia: Kindred Blades, but what happend happend. When I was about 25 years old, I went through these games again to get a clear understanding of the story as an adult. And this is one of my favorite game stories, the understanding of which stretches to three parts. And I really like the ending of this story, which is combined with the scene from the beginning and the end of the part of The Sand of Time, which symbolizes the union of all the parts, that is the Prince will tell Phara the whole story from the beginning. Watching your video takes me back to when I was a child or teenager and came across this story. This is makes me emotionally... I just want to say thanks for this video. You did a great job because this is really hard to deal with. I really enjoyed this video and had a good time. Thank you so much, take care and stay safe! Hello from a Ukrainian guy! 💙💛 P.S. I will continue my story in the comments to your other video - The Sand of Time
Thank you so much, man. 💙💛From a Bulgarian guy, I'm glad you shared your story. The Prince of Persia games are very special to me too, they really opened my eyes to beautiful stories in games. I tried my best to show this game in an enjoyable way, and talk about the parts that really stayed with me.
I agree. The first time, even the first five or ten times, it's fine, but it eventually starts to get really old. It's part of why I avoid (ghost past/through) a lot of enemies that I don't need to kill, since I don't want to be sitting there waiting for a button prompt every two seconds. 😅
3:00:49 I’ve lost count of how much times that shutter jump screwed me over. I still managed to hit the plate by letting go of the wall run button earlier.
@@LeoKRogue On a different note, there’s an axe that you could get on the rooftops with the three archers before fighting Klompa. The axe can two shot Klompa’s legs if you do a charge attack (I saw a TAS did this). This makes this section so much quicker.
Found your channel with a similar video done on The Sands Of Time, i like the way your content is done and for games i enjoy of course, my one question is if youve a video like this on Warrior Within and if so where can i watch it. If not, do you plan on doing one in the near future :)
Thank you! I don't have a video like this done for Warrior Within. Sadly, I did try, but the game doesn't allow itself to be played so "cleanly" and perfectly, while Sands of Time and Two Thrones do. I think that's why there's no proper No Damage run of WW on CZcams even from other channels -- at least, last time I checked, which was a few months ago. There are _Boss_ Runs but no full-game hitless that I've managed to find. Typically I don't look for them from others because I like to come up with my own strategies, but in the case of Warrior Within after I gave up on it, I decided to check and see how other people did it, aaand... they didn't. I guess no one else found a way either. ^__^''
@LeoKRogue Wow, first off props for a response within literal minutes ! I do get that, warrior within is clunky when it comes to walls and combat in general and is filled with so many encounters anyway, the non linear design would be confusing to set up the segments with so i guess i do see where youre coming from. A remake of the game would be great yeah but we'll have to wait a long while before then, till then keep doing what you do and maybe make more stuff up with these two games because POP is a big favourite and would love to see more from you :)
whats your thoughts on PoP Forgotten Sands? (more specifically the HD version, not the Wii one) it's one of the only games in the series I havent played and I'm thinking about playing it but I've heard alot of negative things about it.
A really incredible walkthrough, this game brings me back memories. Have you ever played Styx Master of shadows or Shards of Darkness? It's a great stealth game

@LeoKRogue especially at the end. You do not fight your enemy into oblivion. You just... leave him behind.

Wasn’t expecting to learn that PoP 08 reused a bunch of the music from this game, haha. What a fantastic trilogy of games. This might be my least favourite SoT game, but it still kicks ass. Fantastic work on this run, Leo!
Thanks! Hopefully I made it a reasonably enjoyable viewing experience.
@@LeoKRogue that you did
Yooo let’s go! I love the AC content, but I’ve always been a PoP fanboy at heart from a young age. Loving the content, you’ve inspired me to do an retrospective on my alternate channel dude, idk when it will be up but I’ll give credit where it’s due. You’re the GOAT man, keep it up and don’t let the dream die 💪🏼🙏🏼
Me too! The whole reason I got into Assassin's Creed is because I'm a PoP fan and at the time AC1 was first being reported on, it was meant to be the next Prince of Persia game, so that's what got me excited about it.
In the end it turned into something else I fell in love with as well, but yeah, that's the backstory here ^_^
@@LeoKRogue I remember back in your AC1 play-through you were taking about this game at one point. Cool to see you play it.
I told you more than a few weeks ago, that I would be watching this segmented (heh) in the evenings and I did! But it took me several weeks to actually see all of this video because I kept falling asleep from your soothing voice that I often only progressed in 5-10 minute segments. So I hopefully added another 30-40 views to your viewcount 😂
TTT is the PoP game from that trilogy that I didn't really have much exposure to prior to this video. I had a friend who was really into the PoP games and I watched them play through all of SoT and a good chunk of WW, but never ended up seeing TTT as we both changed schools, so we had less opportunities to hang out. This playthrough was a wonderful way to experience the game for the first time. Thank you for making it.
Thank you for this wonderful comment, and for actually enjoying this video. It was really hard to make as you can imagine, but it's something even I go back to sometimes. It makes me happy you found it fun to experience. ^_^
💜
3:13:55 good detailed moment, I didnt see that before.
Man !! Your Voice and Commentary Style are Absolutely Amazing !!! Would LOVE to Watch More Such Gameplays with Peaceful Commentaries such as this from you !!
I Watched this Without a Single Skip Today. Amazing Man !!
Thank you so much!
I have a few other commentaries in this playlist. Not too many, but I love making them.
czcams.com/play/PL36oulzyfYiMXZ6HjqjplEipfCpDPizS3.html
@@LeoKRogue Thank You So Much ! Will Surely Watch these. 😁
This game has a special place in my heart. Great job! ❤
I am convinced that Eivor vs. Odin in Assassin's Creed Valhalla is a direct reference to Prince vs. Dark Prince. There are way too many parallels. Almost 100% identical in everything. It even ends in the same way.
There's definitely a bit of that same vibe, yeah. I love stories with a malevolent voice in the main character's mind, always an amazing source of tension, and in some situations you can have dialogue without other characters being present, which is a useful storytelling tool.
Really been enjoying all these commentary runs. It's very insightful to see a master at work. Looking forward to more!
Thanks so much for the support, I hope I can keep releasing interesting runs like these. I'm hesitant to just do "normal" playthroughs with commentary because I want to do something that fits the channel and also sets me apart from other commentaries on CZcams, and it's sometimes hard to find those games that let me do that. I do have one idea, but I need to upgrade my computer before I can do it.
@@LeoKRogue the only thing missing on your channel in my opinion, which isn’t an issue for me to be honest but probably effects your views negatively is the sheer length of your playthroughs. People don’t make an effort to save videos to watch later and typically prefer their content in shorter parts. Of course I’ll just stick to watching later and enjoying your rogueish mindset.
Thanks for this playthrough, i was about to drop the game at 3:00:00 mark, i was going crazy with that stupid jump, switched to 30 fps limiter on steam deck and i finally got it!
That one jump nearly made me give up on the entire run, I had no idea what was up with it until I figured it out. Glad to help!
how to limit the FPS on Windows 8.1/Steam ? I don't have a setting in nVidia control panel
I completed this game maybe 50 times. I can play this with my eyes closed. And your video brings back so much nostalgia. Thanks dude, very nice job 😘👍🏼
Awesome. ^_^ Love this game.
Same thing man, this was such an amazing game❤
@@adarshjain8743 ❤️😊
I really enjoyed this playthrough and hearing your explanations with it. I knew about this PoP trilogy back in the day but only had played the original 1989 game and the NES version of it in my childhood. I just started playing Sands of Time in PS2 this year. These are gorgeous looking games, really deep in terms of character development and narrative.
Thank you so much! I also have a Sands of Time run, if you haven't seen it;
czcams.com/video/hVtihGc6lSg/video.html
Two tips for you if you'd like to revisit this game some day:-
1. If you want to get sands from every enemy barring the wolves after getting Sharaman's sword, hit them with combos beginning with the dagger. Combos ensure you sands.
2. For the wall rebound glitch in the Middle Tower before the game comes to an end, you needn't change the frame rate of your game. When wall running towards the rebound, release the wall run button (I guess it's right mouse click in default controls) while keeping the directional button pressed as soon as you reach the leafy patch on the wall & rebound as usual. The key here is releasing the wall run button before his feet cross the leafy patch. That's it. It's just a neat little trick. I saw in a lone CZcams video. I would've linked you the video but somehow CZcams doesn't post links in comments so I wrote it down.
Your vids are enjoyable! Thanks!
Thanks for the tips, the Sands one from combos is huge. I actually did try that trick for the shutter several times but for whatever reason I found it really unreliable, and in the end syncing my frames down helped me and other players get it in a single try so I went with that instead. ^_^
Phenomenal no damage run!
I thought your sands of time no damage was impressive.
But this is on a whole another level.
Especially how you beat the first boss with no damage!
Thank you so much! I always look forward to comments like this.
Damn. You made sword and axe twin fight so easy. Pro player. 👍👍
I'm glad it looks that way because that fight was almost the reason I scrapped this entire run. 😅
@@LeoKRogue I was about to give up on this game because of the twins boss fight. It's too hard to understand how to defeat them. Watched you playing it and finished them in a single try. It was fun to play the fight. Thank you. 🙂
I'm happy about that, definitely the most annoying fight in the game so it's nice that this helped someone.
didn't expected from myself to watch the whole vid. but I did. it was great man. thanks for the nostalgia revival.
Thanks for watching!
I also have a Sands of Time video;
czcams.com/video/hVtihGc6lSg/video.html
i just woke up and chose to watch this 3 hour long video
and heck yea bro i loved it 😁❤
That's amazing, glad you enjoyed it. I have one on Sands of Time as well.
@@LeoKRogue sure I'll definitely watch that one as well 🙂
PoP is my favourite franchise from my childhood. Very cool video, it must have been a lot of work to do the video and to get to get to know the game this much. Much appreciated, I watched the whole thing. Pretty cool! I'm off to check if you have other similar videos of the other games. Subbed. Cool guy!
Thank you so much. Definitely one of my favorite as well. For now I just have one for Sands of Time. Warrior Within is exceptionally difficult to No Damage, I struggle to actually find a CZcams video online that's even done it at all. (There are some "All Bosses" vids on the platform though.)
@@LeoKRogue Yes, I can see that. I'm currently watching the Sands of Time video. :) I'll will check out the rest.
Pretty cool that you let the game speak, while also adding your commentar on the challenge and the game as well.
You don't waste time in the game, it's short as it can be, and it gets me to relive the game a bit again.
I mean it, it's really nice content.
That's what I was hoping to do, to share with people the stories and sequences I loved so much as cleanly as possible.
It's been soo long since I played PoPT2T. It felt amazing watching a master at work
Thank you!
The slow little commentry is cheery on top
I wanted to let the game breathe, and speak for itself a lot of the time, yeah.
Thank you for this. Loved watching it and reliving my childhood.
Thank you for watching. ^_^
There are SO MANY insane plateforming opportunities in this game that would be incredible in Assassin's Creed. I find it crazy most were never used. I'm thinking about the headdown chains, the curtins slip, the interwall slide. They feel and look so great.
Yeeess, I love them. Two Thrones' level design is probably the closest to Assassin's Creed out of all the Prince of Persias for the sole reason that it's set in a city, and you really, really get a sense of how strong 2005 Ubi's linear level design was, for parkour.
Hey, watching the last section, replaying on GOG PC myself. The flawed 60fps jump just somehow landed me on the lowest dagger plate. Just where we need to get so I no spoil there.
Music around the tower is hideous.. so true!
Mad props for handling that annoying chariot ride without rewinds .. impossible for me with a Gamepad at least ..
Thank you so much! Glad it worked out for you hehe
this is how stealth kills should work you have to work for it instead of waiting for the animation to be over
I think that would eventually become boring and tiring, honestly, no matter what kind of player you were. I definitely wouldn't want every game under the sun to handle stealth takedowns that way. Whenever I'm thinking about a game mechanic I always ask myself, "This would be fun the first ten times. Would it stay fun the next 1000 times?" Pretty important.
@@LeoKRogue TRUE but what if they add more animations for it like tenchu on the psp
2:11:13 Yep, this bossfight is where my childhood playthrough of this game ended. The worst part is iirc that if you die against the boss you have to do the whole charriot chase before it over again.
Pretty sure, yeah. It's awful. xD
Man, this is so awesome! I’ve always loved the PoP game, and I'm very sad that it isn’t as popular as the AC games, so it makes me so happy to see its community still alive
Prince of Persia is great, yeah. Lost Crown is actually one of the greatest Metroidvanias ever made IMO, I truly loved it from start to finish. The wallrunning, the platforming, the trap-gauntlets, it's all there. I highly recommend it, and hopefully Ubisoft works on more PoP titles.
So nostalgic watching this in 2024, subscribed. Could you please recommend some similar or just any good games? I've played Assassin's creed already.
Ghost of Tsushima, Arkham Games, Shadow of Mordor especially, due to the two souls in one body story and gameplay mechanic. Shadow of Mordor is really the big one.
I was holding my breath in whole video omg !! What a great player 🔥
Thank you, some of these moments were pretty tough. ^_^
Finally got around to finishing this! Great gameplay, I don’t know too much about PoP outside of what Jcers showed me but after watching this, I must say that I’m a little sad these games aren’t available on Xbox :’(
You can really see the early AC DNA in this game and it’s so killer. Imagine AC with the full movement options of Prince of Persia.
I have a No Damage run of Sands of Time as well, which I'm not sure if you've seen.
czcams.com/video/hVtihGc6lSg/video.html
And yeah, I agree. These games are really special and they deserve to be more available. We can say the same of a lot of older games, I'm sure.
I enjoyed the video very much tbh! I love the commentary and how you actually let us enjoy the game and the story while you are playing, i even watchwd your sand of time video which is also amazing. I honesty cant believe you havent done The warrior within! Please do it for us boomers to seal the trinity! Looking forward to more of this content
Thank you for the nice comments. ^_^
I'll consider WW sometime, but it probably won't be No Damage, even if I do.
@@LeoKRogue the fact that you are replying to comments two years later is crazy. It honestly doesnt matter if no dmg or not, i believe we all are here for the nostalgi and your commentary. Watching this really got my excited to see a WW walk through and i cant see myself finding someone else doing it since Ive watch 2/3 of them by you. Best of luck
Again a really awesome video. You can clearly see that you loved this series and I thank you for bringing me good memories from my childhood from when i had to leave open the ps 2 so i can finish the game because i didn t have a memory card for it xD
Thank you. Very nostalgic indeed. ^_^
I always found that the ending was a bit meh, but most of it was because I wanted more of the sands of time saga, I love the ambients and the platforming ♥
Yeah, I can see that. I really loved the ending because it actually tied everything together in the time-loop theme, and even makes Sands of Time's ending so much more powerful. Wouldn't have said no to more Sands of Time back when I first played it years ago, though. I even enjoyed the Forgotten Sands, for what it was worth.
2:31:44 there is actually a glitched overpower jump in the hanging gardens which reduces the time of solving the puzzle by almost 90%. I accidentally found it while jumping around platform to platform
That's amazing. I don't remember if I use any glitches, major or otherwise in this walkthrough so I'm not sure if it would've applied in this case, but I love to find out about cool tech like that.
@@LeoKRogue Fair. It was a glitch in the game mechanic. Apparently when I was jumping around like an idiot I accidentally jumped on that correct platform with an in game glitch. I then simply rotated the lever and voila! The puzzle wasn't solved but I reached the next place anyway
I’ve started getting into Prince of Persia after replaying assassin’s creed games + other games from that era too many times and I’ve concluded that late ps2 era - early ps3 and 360 era was the peak of gaming and it’s all downhill until new technological paradigms force big companies to get creative again
That's something I miss about gaming from a long time ago, how technology improvements weren't just used for visuals but to push gameplay possibilities forward. The only big one I can think of right now is using raytracing to generate light and shadow that's used for stealth gameplay.
Movement in these games still feels great. I wish ACs had the horizontal wall run too.
Same, honestly. I think it'd be cool to see it in at least one, even if it's a short-distance thing. Mirror's Edge and Dying Light 2 both have it, after all.
This game was so fucking good man, I played it around 3-4 times over when I was a kid
Thank you Leo for this video, it was very entertaining to watch start to finish because of the unique playthrough. I got to enjoy the story of the game alongside your awesome gameplay.
Thank you for watching ^_^
@@LeoKRogue Will you be doing similar runs for the other titles in the series?
I have one for Sands of Time! :D
czcams.com/video/hVtihGc6lSg/video.html
Warrior Within is not looking good for this kind of run because of how "messy" the game's design is -- it doesn't let the player approach it with clean precision the way Sands and Two Thrones do, to the point that when I was looking for WW Hard No Damage runs on CZcams, I didn't find a single one -- only No Deaths. This leads me to believe that it's not possible otherwise someone would've already done it, I mean the game has been out for eighteen years.
I'll scout Forgotten Sands and PoP08, though, in case it's doable there.
@@LeoKRogue I see, well good luck on your search. In the meantime I will binge your Sands of Time video :D
Nostalgia is real my man, well done.
Thank you.
Prince of Persia:two thrones ❌
Prince of Persia: Assassin's. ✔️
Prince of Persia: Assassins would've come after Two Thrones! :P
I grew up playing this... No wonder why I liked AC so much.
Mhm! They have a lot of shared traits and DNA.
3:00:52 that one jump gave me a lot of trouble on my latest playthrough of this game. I was so frustrated with this jump that at some point I had to look it up on the internet, and to my surprise, I wasn't the only one struggling. I found a video showing the proper spacing for the jump, and it's super awkward, you have to end your wallrun early-ish and jump pretty early but not too early and you still barely make it. Fortunately I actually managed to do it, after a dozen more attempts T-T
I got it a few times, but this kind of move with that small %chance to get it reliably just isn't something you want to be playing with on a No Damage No Rewind run, even _with_ checkpoints, so I just decided to say fuck it and drop the FPS.
That was an enjoyable watch! Learnt a few new skips. My favourite in the entire trilogy. For me, every successive installment was better than the previous one, although in the grand scheme of things, I would say that Sands of Time is more valuable to the history of gaming. Sands of Trilogy is probably the only franchise where I love all the games. Two Thrones could've been Kindred Blades, & there are some bugs in the game, but by the end, I'm happy with the finished product. It's amazing what they did in a year's time of development. Most people don't think this way, but I think this trilogy has one of the best stories in the world of video games. A captivating start & a satisfying end! Two Thrones & Warrior Within for me has lots of replay value! Truly gems worthy of cherishing for me ...
I love The Sands Trilogy's story. I think it's quite beautiful and poetic in so many ways, I love how it all comes full-circle and ends the same way it begins. Perfect for this kind of series. The Prince and Farah are one of my all-time favorite gaming couples, as well.
Your thoughts on plot holes?
Is the reason why the Timeline had changed because of killing Kaileena in the Past? 7 years after killing The Vizier would have us finish the game killing Dahaka in the present and returning to Babylon with Kai. Or simply having her alive in the Prince’s time “erases” everything sand- related?
Man, I just found this video and your youtube channel. Amazing work here and I do enjoy your content. You get a dedicated sub from me.
Thank you.
Mind blowing 🔥 never seen such pro in my entire life
haha, thank you
@@LeoKRogue how can we connect ?
Awesome playthrough man! I love the balance you have between raw gameplay and commentary. Any chance for Warrior within ever :3 ?
There is a very small chance for Warrior Within, but a chance still. It probably won't be No Damage though, game is wayyy too random and unfair compared to the other two haha
Sooooo happy you did this Leo. This is my favorite of the trilogy. Mainly coz of the amount of time I spent on it. This is the only one I owned for my PSP which was my first, proper video game related thing ever. The PSP port wasn't the best when it came to details like the Prince's tattoes. But I can enjoy those here. Are you gonna do Warrior Within? Feels weird to skip that one. Also a little strange to skip combat as the Dark Prince, but you do you maestro. Loved this.
I tried to do Warrior Within but it seems like it's not possible, unfortunately. I even looked for Hard Mode No Damage runs on CZcams and on other websites, and not a single one actually exists that I've discovered, there's only No Death which would just feel weird. Warrior Within is a messy, sloppily-designed game that doesn't let you play "clean" and that really bothers me because aesthetically and structurally I _really_ love it. :(
@@LeoKRogue Would you open to just playing Warrior Within? I think a lot of your viewers enjoy your longform commentary run. So maybe just stream the game? I would actually like to see you do the same for some AC games but you have already done those in the past, and considering the current state of the franchise, I won't blame you if you are not interested. I remember attending your Valhalla streams and your commentary made them crazy fun
And I also agree with you about warrior within. For example the way the enemies are modeled(they have small bodies) and the way they crowd you, their speed, combined with the dark aesthetic really makes it difficult to read their attacks and respond(speaking as someone who actually like countering in PoP). It's done much better here
There is a chance I just play it, yeah. :)
The good old days. When games were fun to play and creative and family friendly ❤
This was definitely one of the nice ones. Still good even today, too.
Tell you a tale like none you have heard... ... Man of their word fr
Truly. What a fantastic story.
Bro used physics to do the impissible.. absolutely great work
Thank you xD
I love this game, it was soo good "experiencing" it again and you made a really good video, I like the narration. There were some close calls with the traps like at 2:31:13 . Was it all palnned like this or was it actually close?
It was actually pretty close. 😅
As good as people try to play, no one is perfect and unexpected weird situations happen that you have to do your best with, in the moment. Close calls like those are a big part of that.
Whats crazy is that i basically played the game no upgrades as a child because i had no patience and enjoyed playing through the story more 😂, made boss fights way harder than it needed to be, but that statue puzzle is what got me actually
The statue puzzle is so hard I even typed the instructions in the Pinned Comment.
@@LeoKRogueIdk which was harder between the mirrors for the Eagle Sword in Sands of Time or the statues lol
I absolutely loved warrior within. My favorite in the series because combat felt so smooth, organic and fun
I think it's most people's favorite, yeah.
Nice commentary man! And gameplay :)
It was nice. Good job!
Thank you.
Do sands of time please . Any run . I started Playing that again after years and I love your channel man so ik it would make an awesome video
I've already done it! :D
czcams.com/video/hVtihGc6lSg/video.html
Thank you very much! I was able to beat twins on normal difficulty after your explanation.
Nice! They're a super annoying fight.
2:25:00 I love this cutscene no dialogue needed
It's so great xD
Yes have been waiting for this
I appreciate your patience. :D
Hey just recommended by youtube o this video u have carci vibes so liked this video😁
Thank you!
19:48 you took damage here 😂
Damn I'm washed hahaha can't even avoid damage in a cutscene
Best trilogy ever ?
Please need a remastered of the second and third game
Not sure if you know this but if you take the sand gate guard's weapon, it replenishes your sands no matter how much you use your sand powers.
I did! One of my favorite mechanics. I typically value having my secondary hand empty for grabs and throws, and I'm not usually fighting the rest of the time.
the dark prince low key kinda chill I would've just embraced him
LMAO.
I love how they still had the detail of his tattoo from the second game
Nice walkthrough! Subbed
Yes commentary Walkthrough 👏
Happy you like it. ^_^
The Prince of Persia Trilogy easily has it's name among the Greatest of all Times
Definitely. Some of the most unique and fun games ever made. Modern games could still learn a lot from their linear design and encounters, I feel.
This is a classic
Class man total class you are
Thank you.
To be honest, that entire intro from ramparts to the throne room can be done in pure stealth i.e. no kills except for 1 archer guarding the entry point right before the harbor district walkthrough thanks to amazing PoP YTuber Vipeazone(I highly recommend u check his channel). Also, if you're looking for style points in parkour, take ideas from speedrunners those who do glitchless runs, coz I learned a lot from them. Anyways, awesome run Leo, and I'm amazed that you did it without damage coz this game's nearly 19 years old from now, which means the controls are very janky sometimes and the Physics of this game sometimes really puts me on the edge. I'd like to see if u can release a no damage run for Warrior Within, coz that game's a pure NIGHTMARE and I hope it'll keep you on your chair! If you're interested in this challenge, one more thing I'd like to add, no time powers 'til you are Sand Wraith + u can use Eye of the Storm esp in Mechanical Tower walkthrough specifically for those spiked beasts. Good Luck if you try! Also, Warrior Within is the toughest game in the entire PoP SoT Trilogy, and if you can't kill enemies in The Two Thrones and Sands of Time, then Warrior Within is pure Nightmare.
That's all pretty great. Part of the philosophy I had for these videos was to try to do them in a way anyone could copy if they were looking for a guide through certain areas and the like. I didn't want to do anything that was too tough to execute.
I will probably never do a No Damage run of Warrior Within, for the exact reasons you listed. I just don't think the game is friendly to that kind of playstyle, it's a lot more sloppy, buggy, random, and poorly-designed for flawless play than SoT and TTT are IMO. Really makes me unwilling to spend the time. I just wouldn't enjoy doing it, so I likely won't. Good game casually though.
Bro prince of persia have unity and rev abilities at same time
Its so fucking cool
Knife as hook blade
And the turning on the beam as unity
And the horse move from brotherhood was orginaly in prince of persia
There's a lot of DNA that the AC games owe to Prince of Persia, indeed.
@@LeoKRoguei was about to say basim should be friends with this guy or something but that wouldn’t make sense
enjoyed it soo much
love your commentary
Prince of Persia two thrones is my fav because of the stealth kill ability
I love it for the same reason.
This game is my childhood
It's amazing, yeah.
I watched and briefly commented on this video a couple of months ago, but today I watched it again, and after reading some long and pretty good comments, I'd like to share my story. I got to know the trilogy of the Prince of Persia when I was a child, in 2005 I guess, but first with The Sands of Time and The Warrior Within. Yeah, my vrother had a PS2 and disc with those two games. Later I bought myself a PS2 and of course the new Prince of Persia The Two Thrones disc. I didn't really like this game at first. I know, The Dark Prince, new mechanics, stealth kills (which I really hated before), new locations and bosses, and of course a continuation of a good and beloved story, but the graphics were bad, very bad, and that's why I didn't before didn't like this game. Now I know why the graphics were the way they were and we probably could have had a different game and ending to the story if the developers had continued with the first prototype of the game when it was still called Prince of Persia: Kindred Blades, but what happend happend. When I was about 25 years old, I went through these games again to get a clear understanding of the story as an adult. And this is one of my favorite game stories, the understanding of which stretches to three parts. And I really like the ending of this story, which is combined with the scene from the beginning and the end of the part of The Sand of Time, which symbolizes the union of all the parts, that is the Prince will tell Phara the whole story from the beginning. Watching your video takes me back to when I was a child or teenager and came across this story. This is makes me emotionally... I just want to say thanks for this video. You did a great job because this is really hard to deal with. I really enjoyed this video and had a good time. Thank you so much, take care and stay safe! Hello from a Ukrainian guy! 💙💛
P.S. I will continue my story in the comments to your other video - The Sand of Time
Thank you so much, man. 💙💛From a Bulgarian guy, I'm glad you shared your story. The Prince of Persia games are very special to me too, they really opened my eyes to beautiful stories in games. I tried my best to show this game in an enjoyable way, and talk about the parts that really stayed with me.
the stone guardian actually gains a little bit of speed when u hit the corner of a wall (when he is slowed down) 1:53:46
Wow, you're right. That's so cool. o_o
The nostalgia 🥰
Truly. The most enduring games of that era had something really special and unique about them.
Have you done a warrior within playthrough? I can't find it on your channel. I'd really enjoy your commentary on the game
I have not just yet.
Played this masterpiece of a game on the old PSP
Nice ^___^
Stealth being QTEs was the only thing that bugged me about this game.. although its satisfying to watch it being done perfectly by someone else.
I agree. The first time, even the first five or ten times, it's fine, but it eventually starts to get really old. It's part of why I avoid (ghost past/through) a lot of enemies that I don't need to kill, since I don't want to be sitting there waiting for a button prompt every two seconds. 😅
@@LeoKRogue Especially the 5 hit thrall guys.. the 4th stab being faster throws me off every time
3:00:49 I’ve lost count of how much times that shutter jump screwed me over. I still managed to hit the plate by letting go of the wall run button earlier.
You're much more impressive than me, I was not willing to risk that so many times. 😅
@@LeoKRogue On a different note, there’s an axe that you could get on the rooftops with the three archers before fighting Klompa. The axe can two shot Klompa’s legs if you do a charge attack (I saw a TAS did this). This makes this section so much quicker.
I just played this game on my psp recently and made most of these tricks too like no kiling enemy
Nice!
it's been so long since i played this, i didn't realize they reused some of the music from TT in PoP08 :o
edit: also congrats ^^
I was also charmed when I heard that, yeah.
And thank you!
You're not pro but pro is you👏
Aww~
Found your channel with a similar video done on The Sands Of Time, i like the way your content is done and for games i enjoy of course, my one question is if youve a video like this on Warrior Within and if so where can i watch it. If not, do you plan on doing one in the near future :)
Thank you! I don't have a video like this done for Warrior Within. Sadly, I did try, but the game doesn't allow itself to be played so "cleanly" and perfectly, while Sands of Time and Two Thrones do.
I think that's why there's no proper No Damage run of WW on CZcams even from other channels -- at least, last time I checked, which was a few months ago. There are _Boss_ Runs but no full-game hitless that I've managed to find.
Typically I don't look for them from others because I like to come up with my own strategies, but in the case of Warrior Within after I gave up on it, I decided to check and see how other people did it, aaand... they didn't.
I guess no one else found a way either. ^__^''
@LeoKRogue Wow, first off props for a response within literal minutes ! I do get that, warrior within is clunky when it comes to walls and combat in general and is filled with so many encounters anyway, the non linear design would be confusing to set up the segments with so i guess i do see where youre coming from. A remake of the game would be great yeah but we'll have to wait a long while before then, till then keep doing what you do and maybe make more stuff up with these two games because POP is a big favourite and would love to see more from you :)
I really want a Warrior Within remake, so badly. x_x
I never noticed the literal "Two Thrones" in the mental realm!
It's such a cool detail.
whats your thoughts on PoP Forgotten Sands? (more specifically the HD version, not the Wii one) it's one of the only games in the series I havent played and I'm thinking about playing it but I've heard alot of negative things about it.
I like it. It's a fun, short ride, and if you like Prince of Persia movement-gauntlets, you'll probably enjoy it. It's not awful.
@LeoKRogue hmm alright I'll check it out ^ _ ^
A really incredible walkthrough, this game brings me back memories. Have you ever played Styx Master of shadows or Shards of Darkness? It's a great stealth game
I've played Master of Shadows but not Shards of Darkness yet, I've heard it's way better. I should give it a try sometime.
@@LeoKRogue I'd second a no damage run of that. I love watching your videos before bed
