Re: Playing Shadow Of The Colossus for the first time
seriously WTF??? And that one isn't even hard to figure out HOW to kill. Which kind of makes it worse. I was honestly kind of like "ok, I know what to do... but I sort of don't want to."Opa Opa wrote:That's the one I hate to kill.noiseredux wrote:13th Colossus is dead... and it made me feel like shit.

Re: Playing Shadow Of The Colossus for the first time
Feeling bad for the beasts you slay is a part of the emotional magic of this game. Sacrificing something innocent for the one you love is definitely the message I got from this game. Reading this thread reminds me of all the magic this game has to offer. I'm feeling a definite replay in the near future despite its camera flaws.noiseredux wrote:seriously WTF???

#14 is dead! This was the bull-like one that would charge you and you had to get him to ram into stuff... I found him really tough. Or at least I found the method tough. I admit that I knew enough to keep jumping from platform to platform to avoid him, but I had to get some youtube help to figure out what the point of it was. I guess the puzzle aspect of this one just seemed challenging to me. But Once his weak point was revealed, it was a good and fun battle between us.

15th Colossus is dead! I found him really impressive looking, but actually not that hard. In fact he was sort of a breeze compared to a few recent ones. Really the only difficult part was figuring out how to make him drop his club. But a good and fun battle. Well. I guess I've really made it this far...

Re: Playing Shadow Of The Colossus for the first time
I just spent over an hour on Colossus #16, but haven't beaten him. I'm just too tired tonight to finish. I can make it from his back up his arm but I think I need to jump to his upper body next and can't seem to make it. He brings his hand toward his face, but the jump seems too far. I keep plummeting back down to the bottom. Ah well maybe tomorrow.
