Astral Soul Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 still early to judge! finished 7 colossis... it will take time to finish each boss.. and gathering the fruits and lizards.. :/ for now i would rate it 5.. once i start the time attacks i can rate it officially Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayschroo Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Really enjoyed this on the ps2. some of the trophies seem pretty tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastion6six6 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 The only real challenge will be the hard time attacks. I'd probably rate it within the 5-7 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathspi Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I agree with the above. Played this game to death on the PS2 and the time attacks had me tearing my hair out! Most other trophies just take a bit of time like the fruit and lizards. I would probably rate it a 7ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnholyCamel Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 i got a "platinum" on in back on PS2 apparently, insofar as i have a save file with all of the trophy requirements met...took me about 25 hours, and was not particularly difficult. some of the time attack times are a bit unforgiving, but You Tube has some great videos of interesting tricky ways to get up on the colossi for fast times...im just glad that this time, when i climb that (*&^%ing temple all the way to the top, i actually GET something for my efforts...on PS2, you got to see a deer. thats it Overall Rating: 4.5 out of 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnholyCamel Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 A tip for Time Attack that most may not know about: When you get to a vital on the colossus, if you press Square to stab almost simultaneously as you press R1 to grab on to them, you sometimes get an extremely firm, almost unshakeable grip...i call it the "lock on"...im not sure if its a glitch or not, but it seems to work in this version too...you'll know if you did it right, because even if they start to violently shake you off, you can still stab at them instead of thrashing about and holding on with one hand... kinda hard to explain it, but like i said, the first time you pull it off, you'll know...experiment with it while going through the story to get some practice for Time Attack, it saved me a TON of headache when going for the some of the hard times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimihendrixfreak Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I remember trying to do the time attack modes (for NORMAL mind you) back in the day, and it was absolutely RAGE-INDUCING. I can't even begin to think what hard time attack is like. The controls of this game is/are not "good enough" for a time attack mode. Why not leave "timed" modes for good games shall we? (fyi: this is my favorite game of all time and I have no problem admitting this) Not to mention I've heard people have been having difficulty left and right with the lizards and the fruits............as if the time attack modes weren't hard enough! 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxcutta- Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 also people need to be aware that it seems this version is more difficult than ps2 especially with time attacks. The colossi shake you a lot easier making it difficult to land charged stabs. so dont rate this based on how well you did on ps2... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnholyCamel Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 also people need to be aware that it seems this version is more difficult than ps2 especially with time attacks. The colossi shake you a lot easier making it difficult to land charged stabs. so dont rate this based on how well you did on ps2... i'll give you that, its a bit harder, and i haven't even gotten to my "hard" playthrough yet...that said, 2 skills that saved my controllers from fits of rage back on PS2 still work here: the "dive stab" (jump, as you land near the vital press R1 and Square) and the "lock on" (this is tough to explain, but sometimes you get a nigh-unshakeable grip on a colossus...the camera will shift in to a closer view of Wander, any attempt by the colossus to shake you doesn't do jack and you can stab like a maniac till the spot goes down...what works for me is letting go of the fur and re-grabbing while pressing square right after R1...once you do it a couple times, you'll wonder how you ever killed these bastards without it) Im sure that #6 Mr. Beardface and #3 Mr. Darksteel Colossus (bonus for anyone that gets that) are going to make me tear my hair out just like they did back on PS2, but just as then, im also sure its possible to get them down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBroly Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 5 Playthroughs? Really? That's a bit overkill I'd say. Not to mention finding all of the Fruit and Lizards in each Time Attack. Dang. I don't think I'll get Platinum in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usbmindlink Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) 10 since they fucked up the hanging mechanics. If it were as stable as the PS2 version and Wander wouldn't get tossed about by the colossi just taking a simple step, then I would have said 7ish. HTA is going to break a lot of controllers worldwide. Why not leave "timed" modes for good games shall we? How about we just leave timed anything out of trophies completely. Shit is never fun, and most especially in a case like this where they strip you of all the grip you have and then screw up the mechanics that made the original version fun in the first place. Goddamn, at the very least, make the times REASONABLE. Edited October 2, 2011 by usbmindlink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achemki Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Speed runs just killed it for me. Too hard fighting the physics on guys like #3, esp on hard. Too many playthroughs, too many missable collectibles (cutting off a lizard tail can easily fool you into thinking you got him, esp with an arrow from a bad view, then you won't know where u screwed up later). I'd rather not start to hate the game, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BENZQUEEN19 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I'm only 4 trophies away for Platinum, and so far, it's mostly been straight-forward. By far, the most difficult one I've achieved so far was "Collector" which is where you acquire all the items available in Normal Time Attack. With that being said, I am NOT looking forward to "Meticulous Collector." I'm going to be working on "Cornucopia" and "Endangered Lizards" tonight, but I have no worries there. I've only waited this long so I would have the flash arrows to take out the lizards and full stamina to get to the top of the shrine to eat the forbidden fruit. If this was any other game, I probably would have rated it a 10 because I consider myself an average gamer and I don't have very much Platinum Trophies, but because of my passion for this game, it's somehow easier.

I know I've gotten into the position before, but I always just thought it was because I was dead on the vital - so thanks for the tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maldron Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Haaaa, got it. Just in time too, what with Dark Souls tomorrow. And rage in the mail sometime wednesday. God I hope I don't like Rage. I had some problems along the way, but all in all it was a time-consuming doable. Solid seven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBroly Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I'm going to give this a 9 out of 10. Reasons - It's not the longest Platinum in the world, but 5 playthroughs is a bit redundant for any Platinum. - Time Attack and Hard Time Attack are very challenging accomplishments. - 100% Completion is a chore for a game like this, even with Maps to help you, it'll take a while. It will have to be done multiple times to get various Trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abo hodiban Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 i give it 2 its not hard only time consumer (6 playthroughs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcrunch061 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Im sure that #6 Mr. Beardface and #3 Mr. Darksteel Colossus (bonus for anyone that gets that) are going to make me tear my hair out just like they did back on PS2, but just as then, im also sure its possible to get them down LOL. I don't know why I've never tied Shadow of the Colossus with the Darksteel Colossus. Do people really find the PS3 version to be harder? I don't see it (I never beat the game on the PS2, but beat it here in about 8 hours, and have blown through a lot of time attacks (normal). It's too early to make a vote for me, but I'm leaning around 7-8 right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spid Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 It's too early to make a vote for me, but I'm leaning around 7-8 right now. Just wait until HTA specifically #3, also 8 hours for the first 16 the first time round is probably pretty bad considering the game was never known for being tough.

Guy Taradonf Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Ok, i voted 8 ... Only because of the HTA 3rd Colossus. The game is not that hard, as everybody said you'll have to do 3 or 4 playtrough for max Stamina (depends on your lizards tails gathered on all playthrough) But with the sword upgrade you'll kill very fast all colossus in your next playtrought. NTA was piece of cake for me and HTA wasn't finally so hard. Without the 3rd Colossus the game deserve a 4 or 5 max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geng1s Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Guess i wont be picking these up for the easy platinums, still great games. Cant make it all about the Trophy hoarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loire Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I gave it a 7. There were alot of retries when doing 2h, but it wasn't a complete nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YokA_sun Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) I gave it a 7. There were alot of retries when doing 2h, but it wasn't a complete nightmare. You come to the wrong place. I guess you were trying to rate ICO. ICO was a solid 5 to 7. SotC on the other hand is harder than ICO. Edited October 9, 2011 by YokA_sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rspieldenner Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Just platinumed. I voted 9 purely because of the 3rd and 15th colossi in HTA. Massive pains. I think a 6 without those two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
