Just now playing this for the first time.
Killed the third colossus.
Boy have I been missing out on something truly great...
I really want to play it but I cant get 60fps in psx2 no matter what I try.
Keep going, it gets better.
Then a little worse, then better again.
>>343266328
Wait for the flying one.
I just finished the PS2 version
I'm going to pick up the PS3 game and try to platinum it
It's such a wild ride. Enjoy it.
Also make sure to look out for secrets and make use of the unlockable time trials.
Agro dies.
artificial difficulty fucking bullshit game
You're killing colossus to resurect an ancient evil who possesses you in the end and kills a bunch of priests as you're being locked away into some form of soul prison.
you should play ICO as well
>>343269015
you're killing them to resurrect your cute girlfriend actually and you do.
>>343269204
To this day, thehandholdingmechanic of ICO hasn't been topped.
>>343267126
This. And the cave. Good shit. Flying one is GOAT
>>343266328
Still in my top five favourites
>>343270196
it's still an escort mission
>>343270196
and it never will
>>343270434
done right
>>343266962
So just play it at 30fps which it runs at you donut
>>343266328
Not my favorite game by any means, but it really is fantastic, and it stands apart as a very unique experience. Stellar atmosphere, reminds me of Hard-Boiled Wonderland (the End of the World half), and by proxy Haibane Renmei. Then the gameplay during the fights, which really can be broken down into just puzzle bosses, but it does a good job of making you actually feel like a badass taking down giants.

>I'm going to pick up the PS3 game and try to platinum it
>I'm going to pick up
yeah good luck with that
>>343271431
It's on PSN
>>343271589
no like the joke was the broken grab mechanics and... yeah
>>343271696
How is it broken
>>343271770
The grip mechanic is broken for the ps3 version because they took the european beta version because they lost the source code to the original. The grip or whatever goes down twice as fast IIRC.
>>343271770
SotC on the PS2 runs at 15-20fps. PS3 runs at constant 30fps, which unfortunately fucks with how well Wander can grip colossi, and how balanced he can be while moving on one. It's immensely more difficult than the PS2 game. Note, it's not more difficult in an organic gameplay sense. Just that it's more frustrating. Much more.
>>343271431
Why is it rare?
>>343271980
>>343271923
I played the PS3 version and it was fine. The way I read it was that the PS3 version uses the mechanic of the normal PAL game and the NTSC version was made easier
>>343272139
>I played the PS3 version and it was fine
I'm 100% certain you're wrong. Did you play hard mode? It's pretty notorious.
I really hate that you have to fight the bosses in a set order
I just wanna explore and come across the collisi, not follow the sword
>>343272424
Yes. It was a bit bothersome sometimes
>>343272550
Nothing stops you from doing just that.
>>343272550
It made it feel like you were hunting them.
And it was kind of nice having a set path and having time to just think about stuff when you ride over to the next colossus.
>>343272605
I tried going to a place I knew a colossus would be and it didn't appear
Did I fuck up or can you actually do that?
>>343272605
But that's not true. You can yes explore at your leisure but the order of colossi is always the same. I wish Team ICO had waited just a few more years for the PSTriple. Oh well. I'm extremely surprised nobody has tried to imitate this game and improve on its faults. Here's hoping Prey To The Gods one-ups it.
>>343272605
>>343272691
Only one of them spawns at a time
>>343272691
The colossi don't appear, but nothing stops you from exploring the world.
>>343272730
Damn I was hoping to be proven wrong
>>343266328
its amazing
>>343272424
I played on PS3 too and had a fine time with all the colossi except Celosia, who can go die in a pit of napalm.
>>343272721
>Here's hoping Prey To The Gods one-ups it.
Not to sound synical but I doubt it. An indie studio trying to copy a fresh concept sounds like a disaster.
>>343273002
We live in hope. It's just kind of bizarre to me that since 2005 this is the ONLY game that has tried to do the concept anew.
>>343273138
Well, Dragon's Dogma had giant climbable enemies. They weren't much of a puzzle but it was something
>>343273138
well
it's hard
like stupid hard to get a moving character to attach to another moving character.
Like the only game that comes to mind is dragons dogma, but that wasn't really controlled like SOTC where you could actually let go and actually run ontop of what you were climbing.
SOTC wasn't just an artsy game with really cool bosses, it was really ahead of its time.
At best I see them copying dragons dogma.
>>343272769
Sure, but is there any reason to explore? Like items or something?
>>343273297
Scenery, motherfucker.There are trees with fruit that increases your health and white-tailed lizards that boost your stamina.
>>343273242
Man DD looks so fucking good. Shame my PC can't run it.
>>343273290
Is it that hard? Couldn't you make the model of a gigantic monster and then superimpose an invisible, climbable version onto it that the player character can climb on? Then again you'd have to have consistent animations and shit.
>>343273615
>Shame my PC can't run it
Really? I tried it out on my thinkpad and it was able to run. With everything on lowest setting with a tiny resolution but still. It seemed pretty light
>>343273615
>Shame my PC can't run it.
It has to be a really old one, then. DD runs on an intel 4000 with stable 30 FPS.
>>343274123
Ran on my Intel 3000 about as well as the PS3 version when I tried. Or actually it did slow down a bit more
>it's a small colossus level
>>343275454
>it's a water colossus episode
>>343266328
Yes, you were missing out, OP. But not anymore. It's going to change you, this is a sacred time in your life.
Can you cum in a sock and mail it to me? I want to add it to the collection.
>>343275454
>>343276186
>It's any colossus
