June Modern Community Playthrough - Shadow of the Colossus

I will probably agree when I finish, but I still need to see how the story concludes.

I'll be honest. Even if the ending completely sucked, I'd play this game again on badasss gameplay alone.

Absolutely.

Whew.. finally up to the week 2 checkpoint!!

I came back from my visit to Crabby's yesterday. We played some while I was there and took out the 6th to 8th Colossi. Now, back home, I've just beaten the 6th Colossus last night.

This game would be very fun to play with a friend, or even as Rich suggests, with your kids. The Colossus fights are very impressive visually and technically challenging so there's something for everyone to gush over and discuss.

I can't wait to finish the game and share my thoughts.

Awesome! How are you enjoying it?

Today marks the beginning of Week 3, which means we'll be taking on colossi 9-12. You may now discuss all battles with colossi 1-8. Happy Hunting!

Going for the 8th Collosus now. I'm almost back on track.

I really enjoyed the electric eel type boss. He's so much fun!

Took me a few minutes to figure out how to grab onto him. But you're right, fun battle with a different perspective to combat.

I forgot to mention that he's one of the couple Colossi so far which I've been hesitant to defeat. When you're on top of the bridge and see this boss calmly swimming in the water below it's tough to seriously want to defeat it.

This is one of those games where I need to put myself in the shoes of the character. Would I do this if it were my Wife/Daughter/Sister/Mother on the stone table?

Good call! That definitely helps.

Finished the game off last night. My son started watching around the 10th Colossi. He always wants to play whatever I am playing and constantly asks if he can have the controller. This was the only time he has ever just sat and watched. He would ask the occasional question, but for the most part he just seemed to enjoy the show, which was very out of character for him. I'll get a bit more into specifics when we get to the later checkpoints, but I think he really enjoyed it along with me.

13th Colossus is definitely my favorite. Can't wait to hear if anyone agrees.

How old is your son? I hope my son wants to both play and watch when he gets a little older. I learned a lot about gaming and how to think outside my box from watching my little brother play from time to time. I feel a lot of why I am so good at games was learning from both experience as well as spectating.

My son is 6 years old.

I'm just imagining your son sitting there watching you play.  
Did he ask a lot of questions about the story that you were thinking to yourself and were trying to still solve? That sounds like a lot of fun, trying to solve the story together.

He would mostly comment on the Colossus or try to offer advice on how to reach certain areas. He was very helpful while looking for White-Tailed Lizards as well.

I forgot where one of the damage points was on the second last guy and my son was actually the one to point it out though.
