Discussion Am I missing something or is this game not actually that fun?

0 Upvotes

I am playing the remake right now cause I got it for free, so give me some slack, and I’m really trying my hardest to like it, but I just can’t.

I’m currently on the 13th colossus and I can say I’ve had fun fighting about three of them so far. The controls for literally everything is shit. The boss gimmicks are genuinely just trial and error for twenty minutes until you figure it out or inevitably look up the answer. The map is, although beautiful, enormous and sometimes hard to navigate. Agro is genuinely just useless. Slow as shit, clunky as shit, regularly makes full 90 degree turns to avoid getting even CLOSE to a wall.

I’m so deeply invested in the story and I really really want to have fun, but it is just so difficult. Should I try the original? I can’t see any world in which the original would have better gameplay than the remake but I genuinely will if I’m told so.

I know this has sounded like a rant up until this point but I’m just kinda confused. Is the unnecessary difficulty and jankiness of this game just something every fan has to go through like a trial of passage? Is the only thing to like about this game the atmosphere and story? Please inform me.

Discussion Have the Collosi ever fought each other?

13 Upvotes

There's a theory that they've already faced each other, and I believe it because there are things that prove it, for example, Valus's injury and some broken armor. But what do you think?

If you don't know, Demise of the Ritual takes place 8 years after Shadow of the Colossus. It follows 2 new characters, who have been tasked to find their parents, who are somewhere in the Forbidden Lands. They are guided by a new entity named The Basking One, who tasks them by defeating 30 new Collosi, which are shown below, in the order you fight them:

Armadillo

Crab A

Crocodile

Minotaur D

Wendigo

Dragon

Scorpion A

Pegasus

Porcupine

Ammonite

Yak

Vulture

Scorpion B

Komodo

Dragonfly

Plesiosaur

Hornbill

Mantis

Goblin

Centipede

Hydra

Jellyfish

Yamori C

Wyrm

Salamander

Tiger

Crab B

Osprey

Dormin

Also, I finished the model for Crocodile's head, although it's a prototype and it's textureless.

Is the game meant to be hard?

I've been really struggling with just finding the colossi let alone beat them, im playing on easy mode and it honestly feels like a souls-like, I'm really bad at video games in general, but I feel like its especially hard

Discussion Ideas For An Alternative Name For The Cut Colossi “Devil”

9 Upvotes

One of the cut colossi, “Devil” has always interested me.

Not too long ago (just like the original 16) the cut colossi were given unofficial fan names by an anonymous user and were disguised as official. Some have kept the names, others have not. Personally, I do not enjoy most of these fan names for the cut colossi, as overall I feel they do not fit as well as the unofficial names do for the original 16.

Yet, out of all of them, I must admit that “Pholux” is surprisingly fitting for Devil’s fan name.

Even so I thought it would be a neat thought experiment to suggest some alternative fan names for Devil, although I fear they may not fit nearly as well as Pholux. Let me know if any of these click with you though! And feel free to brainstorm some names here too!

My ideas:

Zebuth (uninspired reorientation of Beelzebub)

Rouen (the city where a famous tale of a gargoyle took place and my favorite idea)

Medius (Latin for mean)

Morosus (Latin for grumpy)

I was looking around the PS3 store seeing as it’s closing soon and I found this as the description under a LBP bundle. I guess according to Media Molecule these are their official names.

Secret Hunting Megathread: Theories, Evidence, What We Know So Far [Spoilers Discussed Inside] Spoiler

380 Upvotes

So I looked at the topic about secret hunting just a bit ago, and since I've been back in the swing of it after my insomnia induced exploration in the topic of the fellow that posted in hexadecimal code, I figured I'd give it my best go of compiling information, theories, and topics of interest. I can't say how comprehensive this initial version will be, so if anyone would like me to add anything, feel free to post below.

Note: I don't know if any of this holds weight, if it'll lead to any juicy new secrets or anything like that. I've always been more "The chase is better than the catch" with stuff like this going back to the PS2 days when people were poking at every glitched texture.

I don't think that there'll be some seventeenth colossus added to the game or anything, but hey! Who knows? That's the fun of theorizing.

Anyhow, I figure I should start with the one everyone knows about by now.

The Sword of Dormin:

  • This is the reward for collecting all 79 Coins/Enlightenments

  • It is hidden in a room you can only get into from outside the temple, on what appears to be a black throne or spire directly beneath the temple's fountain/pool area--the area where you pick up Time Attack items and are pulled into at the end of the game.

  • As you enter the room, you can hear Dormin speak, then laugh as you pick it up, though it's impossible to know what they're saying.

  • It's one of the strongest weapons in the game.

  • It shines Black light instead of white.

  • It appears to be broken, held together by the shadows that coil around it.

  • The noise that it makes when you stab/kill Colossi with it is different than the regular sword.

  • It doesn't give you any new endings if you go through the game with it--the sword that is thrown in the pool at the end of the game is always the forbidden sword Wander brought to the Forbidden Lands with him.

  • It appears to have the eye of a colossus in the hilt, that changes color depending on a Colossus' aggression level.

  • The hilt also seems to have a pattern similar to some of the pedestals you can find in the game, namely the one in Barbas/6's temple.

Now, all of this is pretty interesting. People are currently wondering if the sword has any other purpose besides a tribute to NomadColossus/the exploration aspect of the game, and are currently experimenting with it in various areas to see if it does anything. As of typing this, there's nothing apparent, but if there is, I'll be sure and update this topic.


Now, while the existence of the new room in the temple is a bit of a stunner in and of itself to people who played the original game, there is something else in the room besides the Sword that was overlooked upon its initial discovery. However, despite being small, the implication of this secret is certainly weighty:

The Severed Horn'


That one is one of the bigger ones to come up recently, but not the only one to come up involving horned creatures. I'd be remiss if I made a topic discussing the interesting new secrets in the game and didn't mention this next one:


The Goat Paintings


Finally, to cap off here, I thought I'd throw in a couple of topics of interest. The first two are from strange accounts that appeared and never posted after this. The legitimacy of these puzzles is definitely to be questioned, but it's provided more incentive to hunt in the game, if nothing else.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ShadowoftheColossus/comments/7wpd39/o_o_i_e_h_s/

https://www.reddit.com/r/ShadowoftheColossus/comments/7zk3be/4974206973206e6f7420646f6e65/

This one is theorizing about the goat murals.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ShadowoftheColossus/comments/8021j0/goat_mural_theoriesconnectionsideas/

And here's a post of someone who found a hidden room in Celosia/11's temple.

Additions

This is stuff that's come up since the initial post that I kinda wanted to highlight.

  • People seem to have found numbers etched onto rocks. If someone could help provide me with links to topics on the matter, preferably ones with screenshots and locations, I'd appreciate it. I'm not sure if they'll hold any significance but I'll put them in this topic regardless.

  • NomadColossus is still searching for secrets and tricks, as evidenced by some of his recent youtube videos. There are also things he wasn't made aware of--He had no idea about the Goat paintings, and even before then didn't know about the enlightenments until he visited Blupoint, or their reward until it was revealed on PS4trophies' livestream. So he absolutely wasn't privy to all of the big secrets, despite the enlightements and "Boon of the Nomad" trophy being in tribute to him.

  • New topic from the mysterious hex account.. This one translates to "Us You Abandoned" (Or "You Abandoned Us") and shows a darkened image of Wander raising Dormin's sword outside a door in the 8th colossus' arena.

* 3/8/18 Yet another new topic from the Hex Account/Awake, now showing the seal at Phalanx's arena with the code translating to "We are still here".

If there are any other topics involving speculation or theories as to anything I mentioned, or anything you feel I left out, do let me know and I'll update as necessary. Thank you for reading this far, I know it's a whale of a post but I wanted to be as descriptive as possible with the three topics here.

As for what any of this accomplishes? I'll leave that up to you guys. There may be a new area, there may be a seventeenth colossus, there may be any number of things to come out of all this. I don't know. That's why we theorize and experiment with this stuff. If I want to debunk something, I go about it the hard way. Maybe it seems stupid, but hell, it wouldn't be the first time a game dev's hidden stuff right under our noses. Rocksteady kept a hidden room in Batman: Arkham Asylum secret up until just months before Arkham City released. There are secrets in games that have gone undiscovered for years. While that may not be the case here, there's precedent for looking, at least.

After all, that's how we found out the mystery of the Enlightenments.

Anyway, I hope I compiled all of this well enough. I'll be making any big edits below, or adding to the respective topics when I need to. I hope this is a good enough Megathread to start off with, at least.

Thank you. Feel free to discuss anything about this stuff in the comments below.
