NBC's 'Life' investigates Prince of Persia

submitted by Hive13

1 decade 6 years 5 months 2 weeks ago

Quoted from Kotaku: Writers -- the unsung heroes of television detective work! Sprinkling logic crumbs throughout the investigation and frequently bending reality to ensure those pesky crooks get captured, the behind-the-scenes scribes are the ones doing the real dirty work. Witness the investigative team of NBC "Life" being given a bona fide boon in the improbable decision of a drug dealer to hide incriminating files inside his console, which we're helpfully informed is "just a hard drive with games on it." Accessing the evidence requires an embarrassing plot device yanked straight from the zeitgeist: The detectives must dramatically reach "Level 10" in Ubisoft's Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones, preferably with the aid of a stealth gurrrl gamer.

That is so embarrassingly bad I don't even know where to start. Wasn't there even one person who actually plays games on the set that day?

I've seen Captain Kirk. You are no Captain Kirk. Guy seems more like a red shirt to me.

As a gamer, I am horribly offended from this... First off Prince of Persia was a great series first off... But besides that, no games today besides games seen in side scrollers or xbox arcade actually say "You Win, Advance to Level __" or anything that comes close to that... next it is obvious that they were just try to get though it quickly without actually paying attention to any details of the game rather than a princess in need of rescue... If they wanted it to be more like the game, we would have seen a bit of The Sand of Time in action during the continuous "You died" montage... Lastly, it would seem to stupid that once you get to a certain stage, you get a database, when most games don't even go as far as a game programmer...

Then again, I don't know this episode, or its full details... But this is horrible stereotyping of video game and I take offense to this... But why I'm upvoting it though, I have no idea..

As someone who's worked in the gaming industry, I can assure you all that behind every corner lurks a stealth gurrrl gamer who comes in and saves the day. So, it's an upvote from me!

Discarding this video. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 4 days.
