It took me fucking forever to notice the sticks on the ground in the hellhound level (my tv is small and dark), but that one was still cool.

I've only just started playing SOTC. 3 Colossi down. This is so much better than ico! I'm definitely not doing it properly though. Is the time attack an option after you finish or should I be watching my time on my first play through?

This:
I am enjoying it! It's funny, when you're climbing the colossi the music is all "Oh what a valiant hero you are" and then as soon as you kill one it changes to "FOR SHAME............."

Is v v OTM
I like having the horse even when it takes forever to make it go anywhere! Camera is a real pain as well, I just can't get used to it at all :(
I also have just learned what that gauge is. I feel shame u_u
― kv_nol, Monday, 23 July 2007 11:19 (sixteen years ago) link
time attack is after you finish
― marmotwolof, Monday, 23 July 2007 11:26 (sixteen years ago) link
Ah that would make sense. Are the colossi in the same positions?
― kv_nol, Monday, 23 July 2007 11:33 (sixteen years ago) link
you actually go straight to them from the temple, you'll see.
― marmotwolof, Monday, 23 July 2007 11:37 (sixteen years ago) link
(so yes, but it won't matter)
Ah, got ya. You just meet them in sequence and start hammering lumps out of each other?
― kv_nol, Monday, 23 July 2007 11:40 (sixteen years ago) link
nope, you can pick which one to fight from the little statues in the temple. yr getting ahead of yrself, beat the game first! :D
― marmotwolof, Monday, 23 July 2007 11:47 (sixteen years ago) link
by positions I thought you meant locations, sorry
― marmotwolof, Monday, 23 July 2007 11:49 (sixteen years ago) link
Such a great game.
― Jordan, Monday, 23 July 2007 13:57 (sixteen years ago) link
Ah right. I suppose I should try beating it first. I has teh fear of sandworm, last and the flying one. I probably shouldn't have read the thread!
― kv_nol, Monday, 23 July 2007 14:03 (sixteen years ago) link
One of the best games ever made, I think.
― polyphonic, Monday, 23 July 2007 15:26 (sixteen years ago) link
want!
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 23 July 2007 15:37 (sixteen years ago) link
Buy!
(You really won't regret it)
― kv_nol, Monday, 23 July 2007 15:50 (sixteen years ago) link
Unless you're as big a game-hating grinch as me.
― ledge, Monday, 23 July 2007 21:28 (sixteen years ago) link
tracer, I saw this online new for £10 somewhere recently. I'll try track it down again
― czn, Monday, 23 July 2007 21:58 (sixteen years ago) link
easily one of my favorite things ever. not one of my favorite games ever, but favorite THINGS ever.
in other words, i love it just as much as my sofa and penis.
― funny farm, Monday, 23 July 2007 21:59 (sixteen years ago) link
was at game - http://www.game.co.uk/ViewProduct.aspx?cat=10248&mid=325704
but it's out of stock now, sorry : /
― czn, Monday, 23 July 2007 22:00 (sixteen years ago) link
it's greatest hits now, so it should be that price everywhere.
unless you don't get the greatest hits things in the uk?
― funny farm, Monday, 23 July 2007 22:00 (sixteen years ago) link
cd try subscribing to the stock alert, I guess?
― czn, Monday, 23 July 2007 22:01 (sixteen years ago) link
x-post
yes, you do, but it's called, alternately, xbox classics and ps2 platinum... not sure that shadow of the colossus is platinum over here just yet and either way it would be £20 and not £10 even if it was platinum, if I remember correctly
― czn, Monday, 23 July 2007 22:02 (sixteen years ago) link
Yay to enabling TH!
Tracer, play.com on the markey place there's a copy for only £14.99!
― kv_nol, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 08:59 (sixteen years ago) link
With free delivery iirc.
I am the only person who doesn't like these games. ;_;
― n/a, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 18:19 (sixteen years ago) link
Me, me! Oh actually I loved Ico.
― ledge, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 18:50 (sixteen years ago) link
SOTC is a fine, really fun game. It's got nothing on Ico though.
― HPSCHD, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 21:11 (sixteen years ago) link
i couldn't wait.
i've already beat the first two baddies.
and now i'm spent!
― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 00:38 (sixteen years ago) link
Well hopefully you tidied up afterwards...
I didn't like ico but I like this game. I think it's the lack of boring. That said, finding the third took forever. TH: look for gaps. That's all I can say!
― kv_nol, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 08:17 (sixteen years ago) link
i've also only just started playing this after having had it for a year or so. it's magnificent!
― haitch, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 10:03 (sixteen years ago) link
there's something nice about this game in that it's not like crack, the way most games are, trickling little bits to you, one or two drips at a time, always making you want to see what the next bit is.. each battle here is so monumental that it's like - wow, OK, i'm done for tonight.
― Tracer Hand, Friday, 27 July 2007 12:53 (sixteen years ago) link
i know, you kind of have to catch your breath after each one
― gff, Friday, 27 July 2007 15:29 (sixteen years ago) link
i sort of love that it's probably the only game to generate a whole big file on gamefaqs that's not actually about how to play it but just story speculation!!

we should have a gamefaqs nerd lol verbosity thread:
|Statement of purpose| (002) The purpose of this here document is to combine all known and documented theories concerning Shadow of the Colossus' storyline into one large reader-friendly FAQ, and this is the statement that states that as being the purpose.

haha
― Jordan, Friday, 27 July 2007 17:30 (sixteen years ago) link
Busy weekend, went from 5 to 12 (I think that was starting figure anyway). I have 13 next. Story so far makes no sense. So far I've been relatively lucky but wow, it can take forever to figure out how to either get there or beat the colossus. V frustrating!
― kv_nol, Monday, 30 July 2007 09:07 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh wow @ Number 13. Wow wow wow wow wow wow. Just WOW!!
― kv_nol, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 11:06 (sixteen years ago) link
which one is that?
