It has been 2 whole decades since this game came out. What's the /v/ consensus on it?
>>724292308fromsoftware wishes it could make a game this good and legendary
>>724292308The only game in which the story doesn't detract from the experience. The same can't be said for post-Naughty Dogshit triple ayy shit Snoy shat out nowadays.
>>724292308One of the worst games I've ever played. Quintessential posercore
>>724292308Overly simple concept and execution which is to the games benefit. Open world games could have learned from it and not add towers, collectables and useless fluff.Any other engagement is just lore speculation, possible understanding of in game architecture/artist intention, and lore connections to other games in the series.

>>724292308it's a really impressive tech demo for a game that never fucking came out. that's how I feel about it. It's in my library though
>>724292308Game of the whatever for a long time. Peak platforming, horse controls and camera controls. Also props for its storytelling, which is a hard case of show - don't tell.Platforming never got any better, but most devs opted for the lame ass automated and sticky 'AssCreed'-style of mechanics, which is a shit. Only the recent Zelda games applied its spirit for controls and logic.
>>724292308it's a timeless masterpiece
>>724292308Back when Sony had good studios
>>724292308One of the best video games of all time.A perfect blend of solid gameplay mechanics with an absolute cinematic presentation. It's such a simple concept and execution of a game and yet, apparently, that's too hard to achieve from any dev these days.
