    yeah but you need to beat it to get costumes for the Unlock all Costumes achievement, I believe

    You are what is wrong with gaming.

    The most fun colossus fights are 13 and 14


    most frustrating for me were the turtle and the spider

    For some reason I always get lost trying to find the moss-covered one that lives in the lake and it takes me forever to get to him

    And also I can never seem to make the fourth boss fight work right, I can never get him to lower his head down to look into the catacombs. He just paws at them once or twice before getting bored and walking off

    last time I played I had to get on my horse, leap off a hill, and do Super Mario World suicide jump in order to get onto its tail

    which to be fair is a way cooler way to win that fight

    I always hated the lizard boss, the one at the bottom of the coliseum or whatever

    @Speed Racer I think you were supposed to rush out after he starts to raise his head and climb onto one of his beard/bead chains and climb up that way, its been so long I don't remember for sure. Sometimes he'd make them available and sometimes he'd be all earthquaaaaake

    Which was the one that you had to direct into pillars to expose the weak spot since it was underwater

    That one sucked badly, took me way too long to figure out what to do

    I killed a Colossus today. He was walking around looking all smug so I climbed onto him and stabbed him to death.

    NOT SO SMUG NOW, ARE YOU BITCH?

    riding and trying to aim your bow directly behind you is bullshit

    I found the trick there was realizing that Agro can actually handle himself pretty well without micromanaging.

    yeah, he tends to do best if you have him run along the wall, though

    I just looked up how to get the mace in ICO since I knew it was near the waterfall area and that's where I just got

    how the fuck is anyone supposed to figure that out on their own

    Woo ICO is beat and Colossus 1 is slain

    In spite of what I said just yesterday I might try for that 2 hour trophy. The game's a lot shorter than I remember and even just stumbling around like I did on this playthrough I came just short of the 4 hour trophy

    okay is it just me

    or do the little lizards in SOTC look fucking awful

    which is weird considering how gorgeous the rest of the game is



    if I keep posting to myself someone else will come into this thread, just you wait

    I would be super tempted to grab this + the God of War Origins collection if I had anywhere near $60 to my name

  • Raijin QuickfootRaijin Quickfoot I'm your Huckleberry YOU'RE NO DAISYRegistered User, ClubPA regular
    The second Colossus is definitely the easiest by a mile.

    I'm gonna ask a friend if he wants to go splitsies on the deal, with me getting the ICOllection and him getting something else.

    I wonder if I could get Best Buy to match this since I already picked up Ico/Sotc there.

  • miscellaneousinsanitymiscellaneousinsanity grass grows, birds fly, sun shines, and brother, i hurt peopleRegistered User regular
    Looking at the Joystiq comments, I think they're also offering the same deal.

    I might just go and get the God of War Origins collection.

    aw man I'd be all over grabbint uncharted 1 + 2 and God of War 1 + 2

    but I just spent the last of my money on ico! Aw well.

  • Raijin QuickfootRaijin Quickfoot I'm your Huckleberry YOU'RE NO DAISYRegistered User, ClubPA regular
    I still have $60 on my gift card for Batman and I only need $45 to buy it soooooo I just might do this. Very, very tempted.

    It's not God of War 1 & 2, it's the two PSP games on PS3

    oh!

    I guess in that case I might do Resistance? Iunno.

    Maybe I'll get lucky and they'll still be doing it when MGS Collection comes out

    although probably not since it's not sony exclusive

    but maybe!

    The God of War PSP games are supposed to be great and they look just as good as the PS2 Collection did

    The second Colossus is definitely the easiest by a mile.

    I dunno it's been years since I've played and I'm pretty sure I killed the first one in under a minute

    Gonna have so much fun with the time trials

    also finally figured out what I was doing wrong with the fourth colossus. I was too impatient with it. It stands over the hole and just sorta stumbles around a little before crouching down to look inside, and I always interpreted the stumbling around as the crouching behaviour not triggering.

    Well

    still kind of immaterial since as I said before I ain't got no money

    and any money I acquire in the near future is going to Batman
