Dementuo Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_of_the_Colossus Making this because I recently went and killed Avion. Discuss this game, the work of art that it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Masterpiece of a game. Who needs a deep story, or characters, or sideshows and sub-plots and challenge modes or any of that, when you can just have a simple shady plot, set in a gorgeous world, filled only with sixteen giant bosses? Really one of my favourite PS2 titles. Main problem is when you completed it once, that was it. There was no challenge or reason to do it a second time. I recently played through it again and finished it in a ridiculous time because I knew how to defeat them all so easily by then. Disappointed by the lack of alternative ending though, given how I tried so hard to have Dormin win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, how the hell are you supposed to kill Gaius in five minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never tried time trial, and also never learnt each colossi by name. Was kinda too busy ducking and stabbing to get on first name terms with them. Going to assume Gaius was the last one though. How does that work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just refer to them as stuff like 'The Swordsman', 'The Bull, 'The Sandsnake', 'The Wall Crawler', etc. You still didn't explain time trail? So you get five minutes to beat a colossi starting from, it's waking up cut scene? Gaius isn't difficult, just fiddly to get him to strike that metal plate and break his gauntlet.

Flame Dragon Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Yo dog, I heard you liked boss fights, so we put boss fights on top of boss fights. Yea, the game is really beautiful, and personally seeing a colossus die just makes me sad. Between them looking really cool and them being peaceful creatures I just feel bad.

Darth Revan of the Sith Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 2nd Collosus I hated the most. It was so annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadenxAtemYAOI Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 One of the best players I've seen beat Avion in under 2 minutes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGwNV0NwmQo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMRenji Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I'd honestly say one of the best games I've ever played. The realistic and gorgeous look and feel of the game is just incredible. And I always remembered getting just a bit scared when I heard that music hit. You know, the music that plays when you get near a colossus' domain.
