    Shadow of the Colossus...meh

    But that's the extent of his personality. He's completely one dimensional. Well maybe I'm nit picking just a tad. By the way, whenever I wrote 'you' in that paragraph, I actually meant 'Wander', which was my bad and probably confused my point somewhat. I meant that the horse is only a...

    Twilight. Enough said. Just kidding. I was referring to schlocky love interests that get shoe-horned into action movies (see Avatar). I was referring to the fact that the way romance is treated in mainstream media has twisted our perception of it, to the point that we'll happily swallow...

    Shadow of the Colossus...meh

    Now this is more like it. Ok, but again this is the game telling you to go out a kill shit. In fact, it's even worse, because instead of the game telling you this with any degree of subtlety, it has a expositional character just outright telling you what you need to do, so there's even less...

    Poll: Do you model your character after yourself?

    No, because I'm ugly and stupid and if any of these game situations were real, I'd inevitably scare off any potential love interests and ruin everything. Which, thinking about it, would make for a hilarious game.

    Shadow of the Colossus...meh

    You're absolutely right. I never intended to have a civil discussion on the artistic merit of a piece of work at all. I evilly and deliberately said mean things about it because I'm a big, nasty troll! I'd like to thank you, though, because I also said: A point which you've done a...

    Shadow of the Colossus...meh

    You misunderstood my original post and now you're disregarding my clarification. Classy. That is not what suspension of disbelief is. Clearly crappy modern romance has crippled your understanding of the concept that you're prepared to except SotC shallow drivel as unarguably better. Not your...

    Shadow of the Colossus...meh

    Point 1: Not explaining things is all fine and dandy, but there's a profound difference between explaining and reason. I don't want the broken world explained, I just want there to be a deeper meaning than looking nice. I don't need to know why heroman and sleepygirl are in love, I just want...

    I don't know. Like I said, it's not that it's linear, but you have to kill the Colossuseseses in the same way every time you play. Some alternate attack plans or strategies or even a bigger weapon selection or something. Just anything to make it feel less like you're basically watching a movie...

    Shadow of the Colossus...meh

    That's another I didn't like. You are forced to do everything that you do. It's not just that it's linear, but there's only one way to do everything. It never takes advantage of the medium it's in.

    Subjectivity, art, and music snobs

    It's quite simple really: Art is stuff you like. Trash is stuff you don't. You can argue for hours about art is or isn't, which I know because I love doing that regardless, but in the end this is all it boils down to for most. I can count the amount on the people I've meant who admit...

    Shadow of the Colossus...meh

    So, am I the only person who thinks that SotC is a bad game artistically? I honestly think it tells a lot about how bad gaming is at the moment that this shallow tripe is considered 'art'. I hate it when I say I don't like the game and the response is always 'WELL U PLAY 2 MANY HALOZ!!!!' or...
