Shadow of Colossus Appreciation Thread
Hi Everyone I'm a WoW junkie ("Hi BB!!").
It's a shame that this forum has no SoC appreciation thread. TEH SHAME I tell ya!
Eminence Orchestra played one of its tracks at the Sydney concert 2 nights ago...I was so touched.
Register your love for this game. Now. Dickheads.

I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS THREAD IT ISN'T FUNNY.
I'm also angry I don't live in Sydney.
This game is beyond all.. Game of the generation for me, and I have no sympathy for haters on any level, I don't care how logical or personal their reason for disliking the game I feel they should be punished as much as possible.

Probably one of the best games of this year.Every ps2 owner must own it. And also don't forget to pick up ICO which is available for $49.99 before it vanishes off the face of the earth.SOTC pushes the ps2 to it's limit like no other game, sure it hiccups at times but it still maintains a playable frame rate.

I played it through with a friend who is a game coder and neither of us could fathom how they were really doing what they did on the PS2, it's really an amazing game even technically (not often you can say something like that about a game that runs at ~20fps).flipswitch wrote:Probably one of the best games of this year.Every ps2 owner must own it.

Mech: Yes the ending is superb, that's all I will say as everyone should experience it for themselves...

eh? Katamari 1 was a massive best seller in Japan and eventual sleeper hit in the US as I recall.. Maybe I'm wrong on that.
meanwhile the brilliance of ICO was universally ignored in all regions, and SoC did better but still not great..
The only logical solution is that Gamers are EMO and don't want people to make good games.

That's a pretty awesome model Pretty nice price to with it though, at around $120AU
I'd like to see a model of the colussus that you need to run up his sword to get at, that was probably my favourite one design and fighting wise.
On the topic of the game though, I absolutely loved Shadow of the Colossus. Just the sheer size of the colossi and the span of the world was amazing, coupled with the orchestral soundtrack was just win.
The only thing that bugged me slightly is the framerate, but not enough to detract at all from an otherwise simply beautiful game.
Sad ending though...
I've been meaning to go back and play through it again, or at least go back and finish off the time attacks and get all the unlockables, I've heard the extra weapons are supposed to be crazy.

I absoloutly adored SotC, and i swear the whole part before you face the final boss, the final boss, and the entire ending had me in fucking tears it was so beautiful.
NO other game i have played has made me feel so attached, but so desperatly lonely at the same time!
