I think it's overhyped by everyone too, but good gosh... OT: How does Team ICO still have a job with Sony? There are IPs that have been made since this game was announced that are now on their third or fourth sequel! Half of everyone who is ever going to buy a PS4 would need to get this game to even begin to justify it's continued existence at this point. |
Obviously it's not like I had loved every game on the PS2 up until Shadow of the Colossus and then flip my lid, the game was the straw that broke the camels back and was the cumulation of a growing disenchantment with video gaming I had been experienceing since the N64. It was partially driven by the time commitment but most important was the shift to 'rich imersive experiences' a shift in gaming that I didn't lke then, and I despise to this day.
Until I saw a different path on the Wii I felt like videogames had evolved into something that I didn't have any interest in anymore. Kind of sucks when you realize that your hobby for the last 25 years just doesn't have anything for you anymore, but then again just a few years later the Wii showed me a path back to what gaming means to me, and I will always be greatful for that. Full circle I guess to come back to Nintendo like that, after all my favourite console of all time is still the Genesis, even though the Wii U is starting to threathen that position.
