The Do’s and Don’ts of Fat Princess

Jan/06 in Popular Posts, Video Games

I have spent a lot of my free time the last few months playing Fat Princess, a PlayStation Network game for the PlayStation 3. Over time, you come to lean a few things you should do – and a few things you probably shouldn’t do, to keep the experience enjoyable.

Things to Remember in Fat Princess

Here are the things that you should do, or might come in handy:

Work with your team, rather than going out on your own. Pay attention to the map, and if there is anybody with a microphone – listen to how they are trying to organize.
Unless there are bombs around, best to use the fire mage rather than the Ice mage – since it charges faster.
The ice mage does come in handy when slowing down somebody with a princess, however don’t freeze the person holding the princess if somebody like a warrior is attacking them. You’ll end up protecting the princess thief with your freezing on accident.
Join a clan if you are seriously enjoying the game. There are a lot of different groups out there that schedule different training games and battles between the clans.
Watch and learn. If your lucky enough, you might get put on a team with some experienced players – watch what they are doing, to find the best ways to play.

Don’t Do These Things in Fat Princess

Here are a few things you should stay away from doing, at all costs:

Study up on some of the glitches people like to do, and usually suggest you don’t do. If they don’t mention it in the game, some of them can be found on the PlayStation forums.
If you have a microphone, you can ask and maybe advise on what should be done – but don’t be a little Fat Hitler. Saying, “Build those damn doors, or I’m calling you out!” is just silly. Remember you are on a team.
Speaking of microphones, keep your conversation at least kinda remotely related to the game. Not even your friends care what you had for breakfast.
Never give up! Just because the countdown clock starts doesn’t mean all is lost. I’ve seen many games where a save was made even in the last second.
Don’t be that guy everybody hates. Sure you might get your jollies out blowing up your own doors, or playing polka music at full blast over the microphone – but you’ll soon be muted or by yourself, as other players find another game without you.

I am by far not an authority on the game, I just enjoy playing. If you have any suggestions on your own tips on what to do or what not to do, share them in the comments.

Fat Additonal Tips

Update – Just posted about this topic and article over at the Fat Princess forums for some more feedback, be sure to check out some more tips and suggestion here.

From neoitvaluocsol - Ice is so awesome if someone is trying to make a jump/wall climb. I remember icing someone when they were tyring to make a jump in the top of coco cliffs and it made them fall off and die, or by that spot in hot sauce you freeze them and they can fall in the lava sometimes and not get back out haha.

From bblow_up – I like your point about using fire over ice, but I think you should mention that it also does more damage as well as knockback (which is great when you’re fighting on cliffsides and lava levels and whatnot).

Also, I’ll toss in there – if anybody ever wants to play with me, my PlayStation Network ID is cheasym. I’d love to run around and rescue the princess with any of you out there.
