Shadow of the Colossus is such a singular game. There's really nothing like it out there when you look at the whole package, specially how the aesthetics frames the rest of the experience.
I think it's one of those games that make a good argument that games can be art.

Shadow of the Colossus (2005) makes a good argument that games can be art.
Ironically, Shadow of the Colossus (2018) makes a very good argument that games will never ever be art.

Still a great game. Unironically could have used an in game lore book for NG+ or really anyway to explain more about why they locked up the big nigga.
Seems like a stand up guy to me, gave you a crystal clear deal and in the end honored it.

Worked for me. The key to enjoying the game is NOT spamming doggo commands. Let it do what it does, once in a while give it a command. Then it becomes the slow paced melancholic game it's supposed to be and then you don't have problems with AI. Most of those problems come from inpatient gamers interrupting AI as it's trying to do the thing it's supposed to do

Fun fact there were going to be robots in Ico but I cant find a picture so this will sound like bullshit. And there are very small signs it takes place in modern day or the future or something. I dont know if it means anything I just spent a long time looking at random textures and things in the game in a sense of wonder and noticed tread plates. The beta trailer had the kids in regular tshirts and Yordha had horns too.

>A litany of artists and filmmakers were inspired by Ueda’s elevated design: indie games such as FAR: Lone Sails and Sword of the Sea or tentpoles like Breath of the Wild share a clear affection for pensive adventure. In film you can look to last year’s Best Animated Feature Oscar winner Flow. From storytelling stripped of dialogue to cel-shading that revels in lively imperfections, the film is synchronised to Shadow of the Colossus’s aesthetics. No surprise then that filmmaker Gints Zilbalodis is a self-proclaimed fan of Ueda’s work.

>Yet, the most sincere on-screen response stemmed from an unorthodox source. In the Adam Sandler film, Reign over Me (2007), Sandler is depicted as a recluse grieving the death of his wife and daughter on 9/11. Concurrent to the core narrative of Sandler reuniting with a college roommate (Don Cheadle), we learn that his character is addicted to a new video game: Shadow of the Colossus.

>One montage of Sandler and Cheadle bonding over their shared obsession with mastering each fight provides a cutesy respite from the film’s morose subject. Unlike the vast majority of video game cinematic stand-ins however, it is difficult not to dissect the contextual deployment of Shadow throughout the film. Sandler is a contemporary mirror to Wander: an individual at the end of their world desperate to undo life-altering loss. Slaying the colossi is a vain attempt to expunge his own grief. Unlike Wander however, he avoids reducing himself to a sacrificial totem. We never witness Sandler completing the game.

The only reason Wander is bad is because he's unsealing a demon. They were sealed in the sacred grounds for a reason. They're just dirt and stone in the form of animals and fragments of Dormin. Either way there's nothing wrong with hunting animals. No one gets sad at all the lizards you eat lol. It's more of a tragedy where he has to sacrifice himself to save Mono and it possibly starts whatever the fuck is going on with the Queen and Horned child sacrifice in Ico than like mystical Starship Troopers.

I'm really excited. I loved Ico and Shadow of the Colossus (havent played TLG yet) and I love giant robots and scifi. Especially in unique settings like Escaflowne, Dunebine, and Orguss 02 and Moebius and Nausica. Apparently Iron Giant was his inspiration too and I loved that movie as a kid. Ueda games have beautiful mysterious and adding giant robots to that just fucking gets me so fucking excited. Especially since all his games are about bonding so we get to bond with this guy.

In a way the Colossus gave me giant robo vibes. Wander at the end had atomic Godzilla breath and Trico is like a kaiju.

>>
>>723577139
I dont know why Dormin is bad but reviving the dead and making kaiju seems like the reason he was sealed by Wander's tribe.

He looks like a demon and named after King Nimrod who was punished by god for making the tower of God because of his hubris so I'm assuming he wanted to amass the God like power he has now for power hungry reasons.

And it seems like the Queen is definitively an evil bitch and comes from whatever happened in SotC and no one is like OMG WHAT IF SACRIFICING HUMAN CHILDREN FOR THEIR ENDROCHROME IS GOOD?????

Of course this is all speculation but come on...
>>
>>723578380
Dormin, the entity of Light and Shadow, has been trapped and bound into several statues. The only way to break the statues is to kill their corresponding Colossi. Wander does it because Dormin promises to revive the lady he came in with.

I get the impression that they sent Mono to Dormin to be sacrificed to him for whatever reason. Which if true is a theme in all his games so far. The Horned Children and I think kids in Trico from what I've heard. (I've never played it yet) the slab shes on reminds me of some sort of aztec sacrificial slab thing.

Wander brought her there as an act of defiance. She wasn't sent there by Emon/the priests, since anyone setting foot there is extremely forbidden.

However, dormin already possessed her soul, given that it had the capability to send her 'back' to the living world... Meaning her soul was offered to him as a ritual, or just can just do that in general for any dead person's soul.

Dormin is not an entirely evil entity because it held up its end of the bargain. Despite being instantly sealed away as soon as it was unleashed , it allows Mono, a pure and innocent girl, to live. And the lineage of the horned baby also results in ico, who is demonstrably another innocent, meaning there were no lingering dark influences or deceptive tricks involved. He really did just bring mono and wander back to life.

Dormin may be an evil entity (even though we don't know what they did to be considered such in the first place), but they keep their end of the bargain without any trick, and I was pleasantly surprised by that. Of course, they failed to mention what would happen to Wander, but they did tell him the price was high iirc, so they're still more honest than Wander's tribe.

Yeah, it's implied she was a human sacrifice, or that her death was perfectly avoidable, and that's why Wander never accepted it, broke the taboo, and brought her in the sunlitforbidden land.

??? Dormin doesn't want to destroy or kill anything. He was fighting with Emon's people at the end of the game purely in self-defense, but besides that, there's no definitive proof of him being evil or wanting to destroy the world. His nature (just like a lot of other things in the game) is left pretty ambiguous, but more things point to him being good than evil. He appears as this huge creature of darkness that humans fear yet his voice generates light, and the last scene in the game with Mono shows that the place he was speaking from is a beautiful garden overflowing with life, unlike everything else in the forbidden land. Not to mention, he kept his part of the deal with Wonder and revived Mono back to life.

I think Dormin was simply a misunderstood God of life. The one who had good intentions but was feared by people from the outside world due to his dark appearance. That's why he was sealed off, and why life in the forbidden land was drained out in the first place

Dormin was just granting Wander's wish so he could possess Wander and live outside of his seal. He was using him and Mono.


I like then theory that Mono becomes the dark queen or the queen's descendant in Ico and spends the rest of her extended life eating the horned boys from Wander and Her's lineage. It had something to do with Dormin's voice having Male and Female voice actors at the same time which changes or something but I forget how that works. But even if you disagree with this part it's really naive to think he didnt at least have ulterior motives.

Weird facts apparently Yordha was going to have horns but they changed it to Ico for some reason and you might be right because Ico wasnt evil and he has horns. And presumably all of the other horned kids.

Because you can ride up to a forlorn hill, look at a cool view, then take off and be content with that as an experience.

In a Ubisoft game or botw, you can technically do the same, but your brain will nag you that you're missing treasures and collectibles so you're encouraged to scour and look for a 'reward' that's been hidden instead of just chilling

I knew it was about climbing monsters so i didn't think that much of the sheer scale of them at first and then during the 3rd boss it happened.
I climbed on the sword he lifted it and send me flying. In any other game this would have been an unfortunate situation but here in that moment and in a flash i saw my trajectory would intersect his shoulder fur. I Grabbed. The timing was all up to me and i'd done it organically: i had become the hero like in the movies.

I thought it was some sort of boss rush only kind of game because in the trailers I only saw Colossus combat. I was confused when I started playing it. Big world, a horse and I didnt know why my sword was glowing. Kept playing and got fully immersed fast. Finding fruits and lizards was fun. I didnt even know you could unlock new gear and abilities.

Mono getting revived to be a single mother in a desolate wasteland with nobody else to help raise the baby or do hard labour is not a great thing to wake up to. Plus the horse seems permanently crippled, leg injuries pretty much mean death for a horse without modern medical care and even then it's not a great shot.

It wasn't. Ueda was asked many times and he's confirmed that he was inspired by cinematic platformers like Another World and the original Prince of Persia. He only mentioned playing the very first Zelda game. Nintendo did not invent the ancient fairy tale of a man going on a quest to bring a maiden back to life.

Clearly she did live, given the horned baby's lineage is passed on to ico. And the garden she finds herself in is very verdant and full of magic fruit. For gameplay purposes this magic fruit is kind of evil and reduces your stamina/health, as opposed to the magic fruit and lizards outside which increase it, but there are a million ways you can reconcile that...

The first Nier game reminds me of SotC

Thanks. It weighs like 300 pounds and is gonna make me want to kill myself the next time I move. It has component video input which is really nice.

I was a little piss baby 6 year old when the game came out, playing it on my dad's PS2 for 30 minutes at a time in the morning after he left and before I went off to school. We didn't have a memory card for some reason so I'd spend 30 minutes wandering through the world, just looking for anything to do. I could only beat the first colossus and then have to leave for school. After a week or two of getting good at fighting the first colossus and eventually figuring out that you can actually raise your sword to find a colossus and pinpoint their weakspot I stumbled my way onto the second colossus. I was actually really scared of the colossus since I was a stupid fucking child so I avoided the 2nd colossus for like a week or two and just tried wandering around some more to find other places, or just tried killing it with arrows since I was too scared to approach it. I don't remember very much afterwards since I was like 6 or 7 at the time, but I remember being able to beat the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd colossus before having to go off to school, and I just had to sit in wonder at what the other 13 statues could be. Eventually my dad found out I've been playing on his PS2 and he finally bought a memory card and he even let me play whenever he was at home not using the PS2, so I eventually progressed further and further into the game. I remember deleting my save file several times over because every new colossus scared me, or I couldn't beat the bird one and just wanted to go back to the first 3 colossi again. I remember loading up my dad's save file and fighting the final boss for a few hours, still wondering what all the colossi inbetween were like, which encouraged me to stop being a little scaredy-cat bitch and actually fight more colossi. It was fun having explored the whole map already and finding a new colossus in a place I remembered. Cool game, never actually beat all the colossi until I replayed it 5 years ago and beat the game legit.

THIS arena…
>>
>>723600636
doesn't help that it was in development hell for like 6 years, and had its name changed from "Prey for the Gods" to "Praey for the Gods" because Prey 2017 came out and threatened them to change the name to avoid confusing the two

Its funny because nier has the opposite problem.
Huge amount of lore that Yoko onotaro was too retarded to include in the game, while sotc+ico are in desperate need of it.
By the way, the nier plot is shamelessly ripped from megaman legends. Automata is quite literally plagiarized from MML2

If anyone is interested in chinkhelds, I played through the whole game on my retroid 5.
Some slowdowns and android is stuck with an ancient build of pcsx2 so it has some of those graphics issues, but overall a good experience.

>>723599281
Didn't they lose the model files and then didnt have enough time to create a tool to just rip them out of the original discs?

I need an engineerfag to weigh in. Could a bridge like this work IRL?

I wish, where are my brown loli sluts?
Also the androids here never recreated humans from scratch like the robots did in legends.

Stuff like this is a good example of Goodhart's Law When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure
Little things like petting the dog or destructible decorations in a level used to show that the devs cared about the game to add little details like that which aren't necessary. Now devs purposefully add stuff like that because they know that it'll get them free advertising on social media, so it means very little.
although in this situation I'm not sure he's actually drinking the water, it looks like it may be a default grazing on grass idle animation.

No, they're unironically better with vague stories that people can speculate and argue about

No idea what you're referring to, unfortunately. Hopefully someone else does so I can check it out.

>>723602379

that would make for a good analysis, but i think the short answer is no, precisely because of the massive stone arches on thin piers

Luckily I have a good eye for forced soul. Careless modern devs can try to fake it, but it will never have that true soulful je ne sais quoi.

so how do i play the last guardian on my PC? last i heard, emulators made it laggy as hell.

>>723602956
you can be patient like the rest of us

>>723602895
Oh, I might have grabbed it. Honestly can't remember. I had these files in a folder related to the leaks, may have been from that mega.

You haven't played the gatcha

Looking at that thread again, I'm quite confident that the "early content stuff" was what was in the mega.

I think the fact that an arch loses it's function if you take away the other half fits the general theme of emptiness, loss, and mystery
>>
>>723597937
>>723597589
But you can fight them in any order once you unlock time attack? I guess you mean just when wandering in the story.

>started the Last Guardian because of this thread
It feels way more janky than Ico/Sotc. I'm getting caught on everything
>>
>>723604689
Make a Last Guardian thread so the Ueda fun can continue!
>>
>>723599770
I mostly recall the turtles being outside of the 6th Colossi's arena.

I absolutely loved Last Guardian and it makes me sad that no one never gave a fuck about it.

The only memory I have of it was playing it with my girlfriend at the time but she wasn't that into it. Was on the puzzle where you get the catdogriffin to jump on a cart, which shoots you up to an area you normally couldn't reach. When it finally happened, she was scrolling on her phone and missed it entirely and that should have been the sign things just weren't gonna work out for us.
