Man, can we not spoil SOTC in this thread please? C'mon.

I thought it was a beautiful masterpiece when it released, and I still think the same thing. I'm due for a replay actually!

It's no SOTC, but it's better than Ico. I need more Ueda in my life. I hope he finds a publisher for his next game...

I'm pretty sure it did impact Trico's behavior. In an interview with Glixel, Ueda mentioned that Trico actually has hidden barometers for hunger and trust, unrelated to main quest progression. So all of the pats, tidying up his feathers, cleaning the blood, removing spears, feeding him barrels outside of sections where you needed to in order to progress, all of that had a direct impact on your relationship.

My Trico was also very responsive in all 3 playthroughs so far.

It's a fantastic read, really recommend it.

So earlier when I said I was reading to much into it, I was actually right?

No wonder I never got why people had such a hard time making trico obey them
I never had any major issues with giving orders.

Kind of, it's not as much autogenerated as it is a blank slate that will progress depending on your interactions. But the starting point is always the same, you can't get Trico misbehaving just because you were unlucky.

My favorite game this gen. And by far best ending this gen, and nothing even comes close.

 

[Darksol]

One of a kind then, one of a kind now.

Very memorable game but the terrible controls, performance, and AI will probably ensure that I never play it again. Which is sad considering Shadow of the Colossus is one of greatest games of all time.

Pretty much how I felt about it! Some of the actions and traversal mechanics were just SO finicky. That combined with the not so great camera positioning sometimes marred the experience for me.

 

[VanDoughnut]

One of my favorites this gen.

 

[Anti]

I still dislike it and find it truly boring, one of the biggest disappointments of this gen for me.

 

[never]

I loved every single frustrating minute I had with Trico, but I will never need or want to play that game again.

 

[traB-pU-kciP]

One of the best game I have ever played. It's a gem.

 

[Sumio Mondo]

Did not like the game. Never got far at all. I should give it another shot. One of those games you definitely have to be in the right mood for.

 

[shinbojan]

Meh.
Still did not finish it.

 

[mhayes86]

I loved it, and like ICO & SotC, the ending pulled some heartstrings and I really enjoyed it. Trico could be a bit clunky at times, but my experience wasn't nearly as frustrating as some people have claimed.

 

[Violet]

Very similar to the other Team ICO games

- Subpar mechanics/controls

- Beautiful world/art

- Great story/atmosphere

- Awesome music

My favorite game of all time. To me, it's a unique, magical experience.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

I've just started a replay a few days ago, the first time since launch that I've played it. It has its foibles (annoying camera, frame rate that struggles) but it's a really magical experience that's like no other. I liked Ueda's two other games better but I'm glad they finished TLG and I'll see if it goes up in my estimations once I've finished this second play-through.

welp just won $20 ps gift card in an online dbfz tournament so I guess I'll pick it up

 

[vatstep]

It was extremely frustrating at times – enough so that I told myself I was done with it on a few occasions – but I made myself go back to it because I figured that it's a short enough game that I could tough it out. Ultimately I was glad I did, because the ending was worth it, and stuck with me for a very long time.
