Shadow of the Colossus is one of the most brilliant, beautiful games ever made.

Now...are you ready for some Last Guardian?

TBH I didn't really find the ending all that sad, it might've been because I played Ico first and IMO that ending was much sadder. Overall I still thought SotC was the better game.

Did you wait through the credits to play out the final scene with Ico?

Of course I did, I always sit through the credits. It was a great way to end the game, and I even shed a tear.

without spoiling to much I even did the watermelon thing on my second play through.

Yah, so in the end it's not so sad really, is it?  I found SOTC to be clearly the more melancholy game, with a sombre mood throughout that built to a very moving finish.

Ico felt more like the slow advancement into sunlight, coming to an essentially uplifting ending.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Congrats, hehe. Welcome to the club! It's truly a masterpiece, I told you you'd love it

Good colossus choices, although I'm not too fond of the 16th (brings back memories of how many times I fell from it), the 5th is indeed my favorite, I love also the 3rd, 7th, 10th and 15th (bah, I love every colossus). And the one that pissed me off the most is the 4th, how many times I tried to jump on it... though 9th and 16th are really close

As everybody said, get on ICO, you can't miss it

*Ico Spoilers*

Sure... Ico's ending might seem happy y'know except for the fact that Ico dies on the Boat,  after the credits is him in heaven!

Doesn't sound very happy now, does it?

Oh, you liked the sand colossus, awesome haha. Kinda annoying one IMO, although I hated only the damn bull, who kept striking me giving no chance to stand up =/

I think you broke my record!! I finished it in a day and a half! How long did it take you?

I don't think I ever ever got sucked into a game as much as SotC. I especially love the music when you finally figure out how to get on the colossi, Epic!
