The Last Guardian... really guys?

I remember hearing one time: "...the Mona Lisa has nothing on this." You're descriptions are completely down to earth, others....not so much.AAllxxjjnn

[QUOTE="Tiefster"]I thought about it and this game will make me cry if he dies :( He/it reminds me of my dog and how we're always together. I think he's cute :oops: but he's riddled with arrows so I'm sure he's kicked his fair share of ass.

I watched the trailer, and I didn't see what was so great about it. It reminded me of The Never Ending Story, which sucked.DeathScape666

100% agree. It breaks so many norms. The game's dialogue and empty world contrast the lonely mysterious land so much. The fact that the girl is lifeless and that you only have your horse to rely on (thus furthering the bond between the two) is amazing. I'm outraged they are making a movie out of this.

How come when I said that "I Am Alive" looked interesting, everyone told me not to hype it because we knew nothing about it aside from a CGI trailer! That's all we saw of The Last Guardian, and people aren't afraid to hype it. The only reason it is getting hype is because of "the beauty" behind it, and because Team ICO is making it. But it's not like I Am Alive didn't have a good team behind it.

But hey, niche titles will always get more love. I have begun to realize that.

"I cry every single time I play Shadow of the Colossus from the point right before fighting the 16th Colossus (Malus) all the way up until the ending (which has been at least 15 times). The story in the game is so beautifully told and yet is not in any real language nor has much spoken or written dialogue. Its all in body language, atmosphere, themes and underlying tone."

Cried? Really? That is pretty awesome if you could enjoy that game that much. You are probably going to be sobbing once this angelic guardian is put to sleep Lassie stile (styyyle is a baned word..wow)...C'mon, I'm kidding (about the sobbing part)

I understand that, but I probably won't get because everyone on here overrates every niche game to hell and back, so I'm not taking their word on it. I can't even tell if a niche game is freaking good or not anymore, because they often get praise no matter what.DeathScape666

These artsy fartsy games get most people in a euphoric trance. Ico and SotC were beautiful, but lacked as games, imo.

The funny thing about Shadow is that I played it just once and never touched it again. Not because I didn't want to, but because I felt that replaying it ruined the impact of the game. Sounds strange, but I treasure the game but refuse to play it.

I'll replay it eventually, but not consistently.

Maybe you should reconcider if you like games at all, I find it really silly you would play games based on what you would think your girlfriend or friends might think is cool or acceptable. You also talked about a game giving you and adrenaline rush or something well not all games need to do that for you to like the game right? It's like that other arguement going around here that a game must be "fun" to be a good game. Very narrow mindedin my point of view.

I admit.....I hide the geeky games when my friends are around and have the gears, call of duty, killzone, and GTA out there:P

The girls love LittleBigPlanet and Flower though

I thought one of the most heart breaking parts was when **spoiler removed because Glitchspot hates it when I quote spoilers** . That and his whole visual transition throughout the game.

AAllxxjjnn

Yeah that kind of baffles me since there is nothing to go off of really. Just what is presented to you and what you interpret. I hope the movie gets canceled, gamers should not want to see a masterpiece such as SotC become the next Street Fighter movie.

That's the greatest thing to appreciate. Story telling in gaming is such a treasure. It's so rare to come by one that's told and blended so well into the gaming business. I'm so hungry for a game with a good story that it's ridiculous. Dark Cloud 2 & Shadow are the only ones that I can think of that I really enjoyed.

I am the exact opposite. Every time I play the game, it hits me harder. And really, you *must* spend time exploring the Forbidden Lands if you have not already. There are some amazing things to discover. Like a giant black tree and ICO beach. Not to mention climbing the Shrine of Worship is the most rewarding thing to do in the game.

[QUOTE="Alpha-Male22"]

[QUOTE="AAllxxjjnn"] Even worse is the director is a total hack and will not even remotely do justice to the game. Watch that kid from the Mac commercials be cast as Wanderer.

AAllxxjjnn

Entirely true. You can't make a movie out of this game. I want people to recognize this game like they recognize something like Halo but you just can't expect that. It's just so unjust. Anyways, I think we've all strayed from the point. The TC's attempt to downplay L.G sucks.

I still find games like Super Mario Galaxy 2 more appealing. I probably won't play this unless I find it as a deal or something. I always see the same Shadow of the Colossus on sale for 15 dollars at GameStop. It's been in that same exact spot, just waiting for someone to pick it up. I watched some videos on YouTube, and can't say I'm impressed. I don't think it's the game for me.

I have yet to find that beach, but I certainly will go back to it. It's been at least a year or so since I played Shadow. It's time to do it again. I just cant play the game multiple times consistently, but I will certainly go back to it.

Believe it or not, games aren't developed for the purpose of showing off to your friends.

For sensitive guys, you came down on me pretty hard. I don't think the dragonpuppy would approve of your behavior. I'm off to bed, have fun playing games because it's "art".

Uhh... I would much rather kill that ugly-ass thing.

no I just think you're anti ps3 nature, wasn't you the one that made a threat about cows needing to stop hyping uncharted because youdon't like it? that's like me saying well I don't like the casual trash that is smg so sheep don't buy smg2, you'll probably go nuts on me right. Plus how is this game not interesting? If anything it looks like a very deep or "different" from that trailer alone.

You guys will play this game in front of your buddies and your gfs if you have them? really? A game about a cute dragon creature helping a boy get through the ruins to some touching music? Seriously? That's what we like to play now? That's what gives us an adrenaline rush and immerses us into a new environment and entertains us? A littly boy with his dragon friend? Seriously? Are we all a bunch of emos that are in touch with our sensitive side now? Let's get serious that trailer was absolute garbage, good idea for a disney movie though. Where's the hype for this game coming from? Team ICO is probably cracking up right now cause they had a bet going that they can take the girliest idea ever and their fans will eat it up.

TC translation: The game doesn't have blood, gore, gunsand violence and will suck. I take it the TC never played a Team Ico game. Plus I can care less what my friends think of the games I play.

It's a Greatest Hit? What? I thought their games sold horribly... My mistake.

No matter how many times you dig your heels into his sides and no matter what kind of danger he and you are in... if he doesn't want to go, he's just not going to go until he feels like it.

The thing I don't get though is SotC was a very violent game. Sure there is no shotgun that blows your enemy into a million pieces but you're climbing these massive creatures for the sole purpose to gouging a hole in them.Tiefster

I loved Argo, he was very natural. The ending regarding Argo was spoiled for me and I was so very upset. They are doing the same thing with the griffin in the Last Guardian. He apparently will not listen to your commands since he is a creature.

I never played ICO. There are many games I want to go back to as a matter of fact.

Wow, aren't you a manly man :roll:

ganon546

My thoughts exactly. The TC is obviously just an ignorant person that sees no art or story in anything and just wants a mindless shoot em up with lots of gore. Great job you're whats wrong with the world TC.

I remember waving the torch around that one dog-like colossus. God the way these creatures died was so horrible. The last Colossi looked evil too, but remember when he examined you in his hand? Such a nice colossi :) And I love the interpretation that goes into the game. You can literally fall asleep wondering everything about the world of the colossi.

Spoiler post: The girl was dead. The Wanderer needed to let go and realize that reality but he didn't. He justified her life for the life of 16 innocent creatures. He was very blind but very human and innocent himself.

That is the absolutely brilliant subtlety that makes Ueda a story-telling genius. Most people probably will never notice it, I know I didn't even notice it until my 8th or 9th time watching the cutscene... but its there and probably has a larger, subconscious effect.

I looked and looked... but cannot find it on Youtube, despite me having found it before.

For a very selfish reason too depending on how you view it.
