Ico

[I Took the Red Pill]

Ico is breathtaking. Owned it and played it around when it first came out. The sense of isolation, the lighting, the near-silence...it really is a one-of-a-kind experience, and closer to "art" than pretty much anything else I can think of.

ico's pretty good
like it's a good game
i dunno if i'd play it again because the combat is bs

It's all about exploring and enjoying the scenery along the way.

[sharkythesharkdogg]

The scenery is dated now. Not sure how much she's gonna dig it guys.

Maybe I should have picked up the remake for PS3, but I already had the original so I'm having her play that version.

I tried to pick a game with some platforming, but mostly platforming centered around puzzle solving so that it wouldn't feel quite as rushed. Also, I think it creates a really beautiful atmosphere.

So far, I don't think she's feelin' it.

[Shauna]

It's okay for her to be wrong.

[Pumpkin]

I'm not huge on platforming or puzzle solving, so that would explain it

I'm giving it a fair chance and I do feel much better now that I know those stupid shadow monsters will disappear when the lady opens those pillar doorways. Gosh those things stressed me out.

I've decided to onl play it while sharky is with me because a) it creeps me out and b) I suck at puzzle solving and I need all the help I can get

I was originally going to pick Shadow of the Colossus because it comes first.

Then I remembered it's a little more dark and violent.

Then I remembered pumpkin hates fighting giant enemies in video games, which basically is that video game.

So that didn't happen.

If you had the pal version or the HD version you could have played co-op.

How do you like the save feature? :P

Hey, Pumpkin, play Darksiders

How do you like the save feature? :P

I find it pretty annoying tbh I sit on the couch and then I get to watch what's her name pace back and forth 18 times for no reason before she finally sits her ass down so I can save and stop playing

As for my opinion in general, do you know what it feels like when you're really stressed out? Like you feel queasy and your stomach hurts and you feel a bit clammy and shaky and you kind of feel like crying but not because you're sad, just because you're so strung out? That's how this game makes me feel. Every time an enemy shows up I feel like I've been punched in the stomach and the puzzles are beyond frustrating. I'm glad it's so short and the saves are so close together because I can't stomach it for more than a half an hour or so

I'm not saying it's objectively a bad game, because it isn't. I can see why some people really like it. It just really really isn't for me. But sharky tried hard to pick a game for me so I'm doing my best to get through it

[Omni-Odin]

I liked it enough to do the two hour trophy thing on PS3. Ya I liked it and definitely more than Shadow of the Colossus.

It's weird though considering I never like having to help AI through a game. I thought she was pretty well programmed except for at the save spots.

[Vyk]

I don't recall ever having issues with her wandering around the save point forever. I always thought she sad down pretty shortly after you do. That's kinda weird. But I can see how that'd be annoying. I guess if it worked properly it'd be cute, but oh well

I honestly still prefer it to Shadow of the Colossus as well

[krissy]

worst fight system ever
