No game still matches epicness as...

I'm sure I am,but I don't own a ps2 anymore.Lto_thaG

You want real epicness (is that even a word?) try Homeworld 2! :D

[QUOTE="GTR_FX"] don't worry, anyone who acually played the game never complains about ittOtalPWNaAe

my half life marothon left me breathless. you contiunualy play it and there are stops for only 5 secs. now thats epic

It is an epic game, one of my favorites.

Epicness aside, anyone else think ICO > SOTC?

You don't hear much about ICO now'a'days....

Oh,what I wouldn't give to play SOTC....

It reallly was an epic game. Not only that, it was one of the most beautiful and artistic game I have ever, and will ever, play.Wasdie

Ditto. Easily the most moving game of last gen.

The most overrated game I've ever played in my entire life. .kingfire11

So why exactly is Shadow of the Colosus loved by a few on here? I played the demo on jam pack years agoand could never get into it. It wassoooo boring.:(

Not surprise here, and of course I agree.

VC is a good looking game with a unique art style, if that is what is meant by 'artistic game'. I don't think you have played it if you think otherwise simply because of the technique used.

As for SotC, if anyone finds it boring, stop gaming... now :evil:.

EDIT: This is coming from a fan of Ninja Gaiden, Devil May Cry 3 and Metal Gear Solid 3, etc just to give you a sense of where I'm comming from.

I have played VC and it is very good, but to me, an artistic game is more than just the artstyle. I know VC has very good moments, but I can't put them at the same level of SOTC. :)colosion

I put them at more or less the same level, I liked both around the same. Though in terms of artistic value SotC takes the edge by a long shot.

[QUOTE="colosion"]

Why did you find it boring? Abscence of music? No enemies besides the bosses? the artstyle? C'mon, elaborate. dark-warmachine

The open game world is not really all that essential for the gameplay, it's really there to look pretty and is used as a technique to create a sort of lonely atmosphere. The actual core of the game is the collosus battles, which are immense fun, very original and just plain epic really. The density of the game world is irrelevant when you are fighting a giant animated statue with nothing but a horse, a bow and a sword. The variety is great as well.

No, epic is playing a game from the Total War series.

Yes that game was pretty epic. Unfortunetly not everyone appreciated it the same way others did, I personally have some friends who found the game stupid and meaningless. Truth is some people have less of a sense of appreciation of interactive arts than others. And then there's also the fanboys goggles to be put on top of that.

I fail to see what was so epic about SotC, it was boring, had a dull and uninteresting world, graphics were sub-par, only interesting thing was the boss fights and even then they were not epic in the slightest.

Not quite. I've probably seen more movies than 90 percent of this site. One of my favorite movies is in fact "The Last Man on Earth" and it has no action and two different environments. ICO and SoTC were dreadfully boring and lacked any substance.

I'd say that their substance lies in their simplicity.

But I suppose that even the most absolutely amazing games aren't universally liked. Even though those two are probably as close as any game will ever get.

..Shadow Of The Colossus,honestly,that game was so amazing,now all people seem to brag about is FPS or games with AMAZING GRAPHICS! It gets even worse by people comparing sales and the usual boring threads like HALO VS KILLZONE or 360 VS PS3 in EXCLUSIVES!, you all need to play SOTC and understand that games arent all about GRAPHICS or SALES.

^True.

I figured when Team ICO's new game comes out, even if it honestly does have the best consol graphics, most people won't want to admit it and will still say a certain FPS (Take your pick) looks better.

[QUOTE="tOtalPWNaAe"]so what was that game exactly???GTR_FX

Well SotC does have some of the most epic boss battle ever.:D

nope

sotc is a decent game, the onyl reason it is a decent game and not a bad game( i have it gott bored after about 1/2 way in) is that its unique in its presentation, although the horse was hard as hell to controll, it was cool to run around nice enviroments trackign down collosi, so its like instead of killing hord after hord of enemies then a boss battle, you just go straight to a boss battle once you hunt it down.

but epic hell no. just a unique experiance

firstly: thank you for correcting my mistake, secondly: on a scale of epicness OOT takes the cake, thirdly: no i havent played SOTC however i highly doubt it matches the caliber of OOT considered by many to be the greatest game of all time (myself included)
