So I played Shadow of the Colossus. It's pretty shitty. It only has 2 gameplay elements in it. Getting lost and boss battles. I hate both of those things. Bottom line, if you like good games, stay away from this one.

Joe can be pretty funny sometimes and I'm finding that we agree far often than we disagree on what makes a game fun.

But in all seriousness, I did kinda buy into the buzz on the game and picked it up not really knowing

1. what I was really getting myself into
2. what really works for me and what doesn't as far as my desires as a gamer.

I've done a lot of self analysis regarding what different parts I think are fun when playing games and more importantly, why I think they are fun.

Shadow of the Colossus doesn't really have any of the elements that make a game fun for me personally to play. I know that now but I didn't when I picked it up.

the game moves at too slow of a pace for me and takes too long to get into. It's like 20 minutes before you can even control your character and even then all you're told is "hold your sword up. It'll work. we swear."

you just like immediate gratification from your games

sotc plays more like an rpg/puzzle game than an action game

SotC is outstanding. But it's a different kind of game. I can see it not being everyone's cup of tea.

Meh.

I think it's suppose to mean "still" since that's a distillery.

thanks. makes sense. And I disagree that "I'm still doing it wrong." I understand what the game is. It just doesn't entertain me.
