In some ways the game is. The world is big and empty and everything makes you feel very small. Also a very sad game in many regards.

Get the lizards

Idk if this is a spoiler just a critique, but I heard its very boring and tons of walking and running

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

It is intentionally paced. It adds to the story. It is almost meditative.

Its not really that much. You can complete the game on the hardest difficulty in less than 3 hours

Oooh ok, huh

Yup, it serves as a counter to the Colossi and adds to the bleakness and despair that's prevalent throughout the story.

Last guardian is the spiritual sequel. Same universe. Actually this game is often considered to be a prequel to ICO.

Oh a proper next-gen sequel would be amazing, but I think it would be lost in the current crop of open world titles. This thread has...

Here's an unpopular opinion. It's infuriating to the point where I stopped playing. The horse handles like shit and the camera is janky

5 years ago | Likes 59 Dislikes 13

Agreed. Janky controls, confusing map, and I'd rather walk while watching YouTube than deal with that damn horse. Cool ideas and designs

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Playing it now, and 100% agree. Really enjoy it but glad it's not very long I don't think i'd stick with it

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

The struggle is kind of the point.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Have to agree, couldn't wrap my head around the controls and was just turfed off too many Colossus that I gave up in frustration.

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I dunno, i played the ps2 version and i thought it was fair. It was kind of hard to play the bit where you have to stand on your horse to

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Be able to shoot arrows, but i think it makes sense for that to be at least mildly difficult.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

The horse definitely handles like a fucking asshole. Never had any camera issues though in the original or remastered

5 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

For me it was the fact that it had physics, like you couldn't move it through say a collosus arm. It would've been if it went transluct

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

so you could still see where you are and be able to interact better. Maybe would have lasted longer

In all seriousness, I’m a little baffled why this is one of my favorite games of all time. I mean it IS. I just can’t quite pin why

I agree. I hated almost every minute of it, although for some reason I did play to the end. It looks beautiful though.

5 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 1

True. I enjoyed being in the world just not having to do precise controls

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yeah, I bought the remake on PS4 and the controls were pretty shit. I stopped playing half way and just read the spoilers.

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I thought it was the best horse in a videogame. It feels like a live horse, like it will take turn by itself while you shoot backward.

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

But I played on Ps2, dont know if they messed up the controls for the remake.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

You should play The Last Guardian.... Compared to that game SOTC plays like a dream..

I absolutely loved that game, I never understood the attachment ppl had to the horse in SotC, but TLG actually made u care for Trico

Weirdly, I played the PS2 version all the way through and thought it was incredible, couldn't get into the remastered version.

I played both side by side, the original looks grimier but that suits the tone better.

Wasnt it very boring, like, almost no gameplay and tons if dead space?

5 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 17

The dead space served as a counterpoint to the single large bosses and conveys the feeling of ennui or despair that goes with the story.

5 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

Yes, though that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's meant to deliver on an experience more than being "fun" in the traditional sense.

5 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Yea I can see its appeal, of a story thing, and I love story based games, never played it but saw tons of gameplay, mostly walking or horse

You don’t need a console for this game. It was released around 2006. Emulation should work. It’s a really good game.
