The ending is what you take away from it. There are no 100% answers. Dormin is either evil or not based on how you look at it. He either only possesses wonder because he gets killed or because that was always his plan. He does keep his word though. Eventually they both get purified by the well and end up as a new being together, maybe its more dormin or wonder.

What do you need explained? Ending was straight forward as shit

you were fooled, big monster appears, you kill it.

>they took the ost off of spotify
I really liked that ost too.

The sequel will explain it

You got this far by hanging on, but the only way to end the suffering and find redemption is to let go.

>horse dies
>lets go and loses himself to kingdom hearts
>shit goes bad
>horse was ok anyways
Give it a minute before letting go.

...

>79 absurdly annoying to find collectables
>no reward
>no acknowledgement from the game at all for collecting them

why?

>SOTC sequel
>you play as little Wander and purified nigga Dormin(white giant instead of evil black one).

I'm talking about the sequence with the whirlpool. You can resist forever, but you'll never make it all the way up to the altar with Mono. If you hold the grip button on the ledge at the entrance to the vortex room, you can stay there indefinitely, but that's a fool's game. This whole quest was a fool's game. Holding on won't bring people back.

That's not Mono or Yorda

shut up fag

Someone just got 79 gold coins and NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENED. They're livestreaming it right now

Was the last guardian connected to the other 2?

Not her not her not her not her

don't post my webm fag. someone edited it, it's way better

I made that edit and I just felt like posting the original, f you

>play game on normal for the first time yesterday
>beat it in 4 hours

the fuck?

youtube.com/watch?v=8swmRbWbnHA Best song in the OST.

Its mono my man

Yeah it was like 60 bucks? lol

fuck you bitch

im going to play ico right now and see if it emulates perfectly yet.

>gendesing
>2018
More like 2028

QUINTS OF TRUTH

The reason last guardian took so long was the ps3 architecture being hard to work with

no, sony literally halted production of the game to resume it years later for ps4

fuck this colossus

It's a new years card! gematsu.com/2017/12/games-industry-new-year-2018-cards-messages

He was a pain in the ass then and remains one now, especially in time attack.

kino

Oddly enough I didn't have much trouble with him in time attack. This guy gave me all sorts of trouble though.

man why are there not more games like this. kinda want to replace ico now too lol

Its both

You spend the entire game facing colossi who share the same characteristics as animals in the wild. Rather docile and not too aggressive, with the exception of a few, until you get too close.
Then the last colossi you face is man.
Although this theory kinda goes fuck up a bit when Gaius is kinda based off a knight.

The fog in the ps2 original gives the game a lot of atmosphere that the ps4 version doesn't have. Also the slightly older 3d models just look more spooky and intimidating

his fucking AI always bugs for me and he takes forever to peak in the tunnel

im pissed. I forgot that I don't have the 60fps code for the PAL version and I want to play the PAL version.

how do I convert this shit?

So Wander does gradually transform through the remake, it's just more subtle. This is after 12 colossus.

im mad

mad about cheat codes

I liked how not very subtle it was in the original. Made killing them feel way more detrimental to Wander.

That's fucking shit.

It makes sense considering the game is in AECH DEE. Having the transformation be 1:1 with the original would make it really really in-your-face cause the remake has so much detail to read.

>you were fooled
That's already wrong.

Enlightenment

I'm gonna agree with this user, PS2's corruption would look almost like blackface in HD. I like the pale veiny look in the remake.

Maybe the game will be a combination of Ico, SotC and TLG

I personally would have left a little more lead up.

It's actually really easy once you now how. I hated him too, but he sure as hell is no Argus.

if I liked this game, would you guys rec ICO and Last guardian?

There's also Valus, the first one, and Barbas, the third, to consider.

Depends what you liked about SotC.
They all have the same atmosphere but Ico & TLG aren't action games.

I hated this guy for time attack because it's always a pain to swim around him to climb him and steering him is a bitch

Pssst... Just jump up to his face and grab

Wander knew exactly what he was getting into to save his waifu. And Dormin keeps his word.

he finally found the reward. it's in a secret area under the temple which unlocks after getting them all. New shrine with the Sword of Dormin.

The little ones are the worst, they are fast little shits and it's very easy to get into a loop of being knocked out until you die if you're unlucky enough to land in a corner

I'll give that a try thanks!

The only thing that makes him hard, is that people don't realize he has 90% of his agro on your horse. He is so easy to bait while riding the horse but everyone gets off and dicks around on foot for some reason.

>devs give you huge flat open field to fully utilize horse
>hurr let me run on foot.

but is it? i thought the whole time she was his sister, the look alike too much

I much preferred the atmosphere, so I'll give them a shot

racist

This is true. But the horse controls were awful for some so on foot was logical

Idk, Wander and Mono's skin tones and hair colors are different. I think they tried to tell you they aren't related.

Yeah. Getting knocked unconscious makes sense and it's a neat touch, but it's awful when you can get chained like this.

>the look alike too much
This just made me think. What if they made Wander the way he is in the remake to make him look more like Mono?

Why was Mono so pretty? She's seriously beautiful.

>horse controls were awful

it's actually the best horse controls in all of gaming, idk what you are talking about

>Fighting the bull earlier tonight
>Fucked up the diving stab after scaring it off the cliff
>mfw there's NOTHING down there and you're stuck rolll dodging this bastard until you make your way back up

Ueda did this on purpose that masochistic piece of shit.

I mean sadistic, whatever.

>Buckets of cut content to add into the game as a secret
>One of the 8 Cut Colossi, The Ico Dam, Dormin as the 17th Colossus, Cut items like Eyes of the Colossus, Ueda's Alternate Ending, etc
>Add a generic Shadow Sword that is actually weaker than another Sword in the game

Honestly very disappointing, how creatively bankrupt do you have to be to think some generic shadow sword from WoW is the best idea ever for SOTC?

Just fall down with him by dropping and picking the torch.

>how creatively bankrupt do you have to be to think some generic shadow sword from WoW is the best idea ever for SOTC
What?

>Cut items like Eyes of the Colossus
What were those, as well?

>not waiting for him to wake back up and dropping down onto him from one of the torch pedestals
Takes longer but it's much safer

>waiting for him to wake back up
Does he even wake up if you don't go to him?

But she was literally brought back

You mean the last guardian.

He does. I used to do that back on the original because I didn't want to fuck up that cliff drop.

>explain to me one of the simplest endings in a video game since the nes era

We could have gotten more colossi if this was a directors cut edition but Fumito Ueda's team is already working on their next project it seems, lets just hope it doesnt take another 10 years.

>He couldn't understand the ending
Why can't you just sit down and think about it for a moment instead demanding someone else do all the thinking for you?

Maybe there we'll see the other cut 32 Colossi.

I waited for him at one of the fire pillars and he was just lying down for quite a while, I ended up going to look for him. Maybe it's something they changed for the TAs

They weren't really men. Valus and Barbas and Argus were all nicknamed Minotaur A, B and C respectively. I see Malus and Gaius being the only two having more of a resemblance to man.

>this is the kind of people that SotC now attracts

It's a metaphor for the struggle of romance. the whole game.

The last boss is literally a multi-tiered wedding cake that you climb to the top of, as the little groom piece.

It's fighting all the fears that come with that much commitment.
Losing friends of loved ones for it, like when Agro falls off the bridge.
Fighting your demons; and the biggest fear that when you feel like you're winning, you're actually succumbing to them without even seeing it.

The wanderer succeeded, and in that, was born a new man in the arms of his love.

>Sword of Dormin
Wut

T. Fumito Ueda

This.

That synopsis really took me back to my 8th grade literature analysis class taught by a fat, desperate finster

yooooo what the fuck??

This was the worst boss in the series and the game was only saved by the epilogue

>The last boss is literally a multi-tiered wedding cake that you climb to the top of, as the little groom piece.
I giggled

>Malus
>worst boss
Are you high?

I'm glad I'm not the only one that doesn't care for the last boss.Still hate the small colossi the most but the giant cake shooting lightning bolts was never fun in my opinion either.

The worst boss is #15 easily

I wish.

I was 48m high when i beat him and thought, damn that was boring.
