I haven't been this frustrated playing a video game since early 3D on the N64.

Bump because interested

The game constantly made me smile the whole way through until it started making me cry like a bitch, it's great.

yes

not for $60

Definitely.

Turn the camera sensitivity up to max in the options menu, and be patient with Trico.

>buying games full price

Games been out long enough it's already dropped in price

Most games especially single player games should launch at £30-£35 not £45

it's already 50% off

Not until it's super cheap. It's really not very good.

>He didn't buy the collector's edition
Just so you know OP, in a few years time where games get even more homogeneous and by-the-numbers, TLG is going to come up as an example of 'look at what the modern industry is capable of!' and all the people who previously shit on it are gonna suddenly start saying 'yeah I always thought it was a classic!', just like ICO.

Because that's what TLG is highly reminiscent of. ICO. I still love and adore it to this day, which is why I probably found TLG as one of the most enjoyable experiences of the past few years. The OST somehow managed to surpass SotC at times

At worst it's just as good as the other two.
But at its best, it's perfect.

I think it has the weakest ending of the three games though.

No. The game is a giant tutorial. The main mechanic, (dograt) barely works.

Also, you better have a ps pro if you plan on playing it at framerates higher than 10fps.

No
It's a buggy mess unless you're a shill with a ps4 pro, and the damn animal doesn't fucking listen to you.

Ignore everyone else in the thread and ask yourself this one question

Did you like ICO? If you did, you'll love it. If not, you'll hate it. That's it

>But at its best, it's perfect.
Go back to school and learn basic vocabulary. Nothing about this game is even close to perfect.

It's one thing if you're a weirdo and liked it, it's another to honestly think a game this half baked after 10 years is perfect.

If interested, get it cheap. That's the vibe I've gotten from these threads.

>input lag OUT THE ASS
>no grab button, which makes mounting/dismounting Trico tedious
>L2/R2 aren't even used
>stupid tutorial pop ups happen throughout the whole game
>framerate on OG PS4 is SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIT
>puzzles are babby-tier
>no variety in the different environments
NOPE!
Was a big fan of the other games, but TLG is ABSOLUTELY the weakest of the trilogy.
Also, it somehow controls WORSE than Shadow of the Colossus.

I thought they already showed his older self at the end IIRC.

Not really, as a game it's just frustrating due to the wonky camera and the dog thing purposefully being a gigantic hassle. I think the ZP review explained it best:

You have incredibly shit taste and I'm a huge Ico fan.

a COLOSSAL disappointment of a game not worth the wait in the slightest

I really love it. My only gripe with the controls was the autograb

I still remember Trico

>I still remember Trico
How can you not? He's on the box, dummy.

You know what I mean. He's the cutest

Nah, the dunkey review is where its at.

It's a Team Ico game. If you know what those are like, and didn't just bandwagon on SotC long after it was able to be emulated, or just talked it up without playing it or Ico, you know what you are in for.

>The main mechanic, (dograt) barely works.
He actually works perfectly. He doesn't listen to you half the time because he's getting distracted and doing his own thing, just like a real animal. If anything he works too well because of that.

If I wanted a real animal I would buy one.

It's a decent game, but the story is weak, controls are inexcusably shit, and the fucking frame rate, god damn. I enjoyed it, but I regret paying $60 for it.

Tutorial pop ups through the whole game, yet it doesn't even tell you that pressing R1+face buttons give Trico different commands...

i see what you did there, cheeky bastard

>At worst it's just as good as the other two.

It doesn't hold a candle to SotC.

It's great. It's just not for the casuals who are "into" Team Ico, but just cock suck SoTC and totally disregard Ico.

Just bought it for £23 before I saw this thread, hoping for the best

Pretty good.

Frustrating controls are a TeamIco standard.
Good story
Good atmosphere
Interesting stuff on the whole

not him

goty 2016 not for plebs

This argument would work if, over the course of the game, Trico becomes more responsive as your bond grows. But instead, he remains an unresponsive piece of shit the whole time and the game relies on the narrator telling you about their bond growing.

>This argument would work if, over the course of the game, Trico becomes more responsive as your bond grows
Never owned a pet before, huh

That fucking ending.

I got out of my fucking chair mashing the button trying to get the fucking Trico to get up and fly off

so good

These types of posts make me laugh, because I can just imagine you leaving all the spears in Trico and yelling 'COME HERE YOU STUPID FUCKING DOG' every time you needed to progress.

That argument also doesn't work. The way you communicate with Trico doesn't parallel how you communicate with a pet at all. Pets require developing an association with commands. If you just point and yell at something they're going to have no fucking idea what you're on about.

I'm objectively correct. Half this fucking game was

>point at thing
>wait 20 seconds for trico to do whatever it needs to do

They actually do...
Only once, at a certain point a couple hours in.

>Objectively correct
That's not even true.
Sometimes he'll just do the thing completely by himself. A lot of the times he climbs up walls or jumps up to ledges without you telling him anything, and other times he takes a while.
It sounds like you just wish the game were more convenient. That's fine and all, but don't say the mechanic doesn't work when it's functioning completely as intended.
Also I don't know why you'd come to a Team Ico game expecting convenience.

Literally 11/10 convincing dog behavior
The problem is trying to progress with a stupid dog is terrible. Its incredibly frustrating and I only finished it out of pure rage induced desperation. Save yourself the trouble and just avoid it.

I think it told me once that R1+Square would have him attack, but it never told me that Triangle was Jump, Circle was Up, and X was down.

I came expecting an engaging experience. What I would have liked is if the mechanics worked in a way that helped tell the story or conveyed some kind of emotion.

Using SotC as an example. You felt real tension when you were climbing a colossus. Every time they tried to shake you off, there was an element of frustration as you were basically helpless until they stopped, but it was superseded by the tension. You were at risk of falling and every time they shook your eyes went straight to the stamina meter. If you took away the stamina meter, the risk of falling would be gone and the colossi shaking you would just be frustrating because it posed no real threat and was just an inconvenience.

That's what playing The Last Guardian is like, playing SotC without a stamina bar.
