I’m gonna look it up again. What part am I at? Around 93%?

You wish me to leave before finishing my story? [Prince] Sure, because I need to see—it’s 93%. Okay.

I didn’t click that, thanks. No, he did it at the exact same spot I did. Well, that’s helpful. There are actually people on the console who were having issues. (…Oh yeah. There goes my hopes PS4 version will fix it.) Also people just saying “I had issues” and then they stopped. That’s not helpful.

93. It doesn’t… (I can hear the music now, though, which is nice. Not loud, but still. Good for while I’m waiting hearing myself click around.) Well, what about input…? 93.

There’s a thought. I don’t know if he’ll do it but it’s worth a try.

Hmm. I think I have to turn off the music.

Much as I’d like to—that’s a funny picture of Joseph. (Joestar.) I think I have to be able to hear. I think I might have to turn up the volume as well.

…Wow, I—jumped on top of the ledge that time.

D’you feel lucky? Wowww. There was only one of you left. I think that’s far beyond decimation. (They did feel lucky. Also, for those of you not in the know, deci, ten, 1/10 of a population.)

I wish I could just reach in, pick him up, and set him down at the bottom. I can get him to do pull-ups. …Nope. That wasn’t it. (I think I wanted to see if I could get it to work from a dangling position.) That’s not how it happen— [Prince]

Woah. [Prince] Really, Prince? You’re an interesting person to work with, but you’re one of the most annoying. Awww. (Bat got away. For the moment.)

Actually, you know what is something else I’ll look up? (No, what?)

There’s one on that level but that’s not where I’m stuck.

Hmm. People are saying you can jump inside the tower… I don’t think you can turn vibration on on the computer. Apparently it helps. (Supposedly on console the controller will vibrate when you’re supposed to hit the jump button.)

Well, I got him to do it once and he’ll been falling every other time. Apparently it was a section that people had issues on even on console…

Where are you? {roommate} Still the same part. I see. Okay. {roommate} I mean. Sameish part. Forgot where I stopped, but I made no progress.

Well, we have to get you to a save point. Or try. {roommate} I have to get past this one part. Some people were saying you can jump inside the tower? And they were saying something about standing which you can’t really do. At least not if you’re jumping down the left side.

At this point I’d totally go for a cheat code but I don’t think that’s available on Steam.

Thanks, Camera, that’s not the weirdest angle ever. Yeah. {roommate} It does give me a nice view of the other side, but.

And the bats. {roommate} Stupid bats. In my way. In this case, the bats might be... {roommate}

Well, there’s a reason I fight right here between the junction of this and the wall. Yeah. {roommate} Because when they do knock me back, I just fall back onto the thing. But them being in the way between me and the wall is kinda dumb. Well, the bats being able to move you at all is kinda dumb. {roommate} Yeah. I mean, I get it’s a fantasy thing, but. {roommate} Yeah.

Well, on the plus side it means you’ve got the basic jumps down. {roommate} I know. And someone was also saying something about, you know about going down you have to— ...Yes. Yes. {roommate} I wasn’t talking about going down there, you moron. (Interestingly, the word moron used to mean ‘barely mentally challenged’ and now has some sort of connotation about being dumb on purpose, to annoy somebody or for other reasons. Like a troll. Fascinating stuff.) I’m gonna find something. {roommate} Okay. …That’s not helpful.

No, that’s not it. That’s gonna be virusy. {roommate} Probably.

(to ad)…Yes, I need a downloadable skin, that is totally going to help me in this area. *mumbles unrecognizable words* That was great. But I made it through!

I figure we might as well look this up, since… {roommate} I can show you the thing I found last time. It’s saying the rumble, which I don’t think you can do on computer…so I think this is all stuff about, uh… I see. So, treat the same as going up walls, but the extra space allows you to descend. {roommate} *jingle*

Well, that’s nice. {roommate} There’s another one. Yeah, I was like, that is not helpful at all. Yeah, go up the—that’s situational! That doesn’t help! That definitely doesn’t help for this one. {roommate}

Lemme show you…I found…history. Um. There’s Ubisoft. That’s the new but it’s not…Here we go. As you see, gotta search 93…and the number of responses keep saying…I give up! And apparently this section was buggy even on console, and it’s even worse.

I don’t know which ones I hit. I’ll just keep clicking buttons. Okay. Do they have any advice? {roommate} They do, and it’s all contradictory.

Okay, this one says, shimmy along until you can’t go any further and just do the wall jumps. Okay. Well, let’s try that one first. {roommate} Okay. I’ll close that one ‘cause it’s not.

This is game; it’s supposed to be fun.

No, that’s not the right section. And this one says “jump when you’re standing and not hanging”. So I’m like, what does it mean by ‘standing’? That’s a different one. {roommate} No. It’s the—it’s the same person, right? “Don’t go in the tower, go on the left, hang on the tower and go as far as you can.” So that’s— {roommate} So that might be my problem. I’m not going far enough.

Why are the other people able to do it when they don’t do that, though? A lot of experience? {roommate} Nah, well. I think these forums are for non-competer players, so. Yeah. {roommate} It could be that. And the videos might also. It is apparently very well known that Prince of Persia on computers is broken.
