SOTC just killed my 1st colossi

That is all.

Ah that was a great moment. It only gets better from here!

Another 15 (is it? can't remember the exact number) to go.

Balfa

Your first "colossus" :]

Yeah, I found the first was the best and it just got kind of repetitive from then on But I know I'm in the minority, so have fun with it!

I got stuck on the 12th guy after a week of intensive play...haven't turned it on since...oblivion is partly to blame though.

The airbourne one is amazing. Its a fantastic game.

So that's why you haven't granted me access to the Soccer forum

I'm really gonna have to get SoTC after the LC. Oh man a Summer of gaming and drunkeness awaits!!

Its very repetitive I find, haven't played it since I killed the 3rd boss.

I got to the second one, killed him and got bored too.

Someone else summed this up well; doesn't the sad music that plays after you kill one of them just make you feel like a dick for killing them? Instead of feeling like you accomplished something, you just feel like a wanker.

Retr0gamer

Thats the feeling I got. You realise as you progress that what your character is doing is totally wrong and incredibly selfish, he is just killing these wonderful and beautiful beings for his own needs. I felt awful killing the last colossus and the depressing music playing during it didn't help. And then there's the wonderful ending How the hell can people call it repetitive when they haven't even gotten past the 3rd colossus. Sure the colossus design doesn't get interesting until the 4th one! Blasphemers!

Fantastic game. Best game of last year other than Resi 4 and more than likely will be game of the year for PAL gamers. It's genius that with so little dialogue and and only 3 cutscenes that such a grandiose tale is told. You really grow fond of Agro towards the end even though it's just a horse.

Since some of ye find it boring, does anyone want to sell me their copy? Feel like I'm missing out here.

And then there was 13........



Jaysus rock dude with building for weapon was a bit of a bitch.

Yeah it takes a while to figure out how to shatter his armour.

That was the point of it for me though, while you might say it was about figuring out how to kill them, that basically just consisted of continuously dying until you do. That, to me, does not a fun game make. Granted, I stopped after the second colossus too

I will, of course, go back to it some day...

They aren't exactly tough to figure out. 10 minutes at the very most. The throbbing weak points sometimes help as well :rolleyes:

KdjaCL

I have yet to die

Not hard in difficulty but getting the jumps and hanging on for dear life is great gaming fun .

my housemate ruined a big bit of the experiance for me...i was trying to really embrace the game and he kept butting in trying to tell me what to do. i really felt that i missed out a big bit of the oomph of the game cause he wouldnt f*ck off and let me play the game in peace.

he did the same with Resi 4 and MGS 3...b*sterd gonna have to cut his throat tonight.

Yeah I died once whilst trying to figure out the

electric eel colossus

and even that was unnecesary...if you get battered too many times, just bounce on the horse or run like f*ck and posture down to regain health.

qz

I thought the

sand colossus

was the trickiest one to figure out!

rainbow kirby

It's a beautiful game... a friend of mine picked this up for the first time yesterday and just sat there until he'd 6 beaten. I still haven't finished it either, if I wasn't addicted to World of Warcraft I'd go back and play more of it.

I barely ever died. Try increasing the size of your health bar.

i only died twice in the game. once was on the electric eel and the other was when i got cornered by one of the little colossus and he kept rammin me

Good lord. I was addicted to wow for about 2 months last year. Then i took a step back, looked at wow and realised 'hey, wait a minute, this game is actually sh!t'. Probably the most boring online game ive ever played, its just the interaction with people that makes it interesting. If it was an offline game, it would have sold about 10 copies.
I think my 15 hours spent playing SOTC were pound for pound more enjoyable and gaming filled than the 70 odd hours i put into wow before i quit it.

I love it when you finally have the beasty in your grasp and the music changes as you climb and cling on for dear life - epic stuff.

I've killed about 10 and the guilt goes away when you see those shadow things - I reckon they're cursed beasties and you're doing the right thing (fingers crossed as I havent got to the end of the story).:)

tman

i was delighted to spot a ps2 in with all the rest of the crap that my new flatmate brought with her.
looks like i'll finally get to play this game:)

KdjaCL

Then there twas 9 , how anyone can dislike this game is beyond me its perfect. I cant wait to play it later and playing it one monster at a time gives quick action if thats your kind of thing or longer if you fancy taking out 2 or 3 of them.

Flying beastie the funnest and by far the easiest

Question

what are skunky type things i find great fun to kill and pick up their tails? What is the fruit about? I dont seem to gain anything from them but dont see where i collected X of them?

kdjac

Retr0gamer

Fruit increases your health by a tiny bit. The lizards with the black tails do nothing but the ones with the white tails will increase your grip when you eat their tails.

stevenmu

Just picked this up yesterday and it's a stunning experience, the word 'game' doesn't really do it justice. I had pretty high expectations and it's lived up to them all, easily.

In saying that though I'm only about 3 hours in and I've seen off 6 colossi and have the 7th pretty much figured out. I've basically been running off straight to the next colossus each time I kill one, with the odd pause to take in the landscapes, and can't help wondering am I missing out on something ? Is there something else I should be doing besides killing colossi ?



(I don't mean that as a bad reflection on the game in anyway, that's more than enough as it is, but if there was some more too it ....)
