You can climb the cage and the liquid grows back slowly as long as you don't erase all of it. Shine the light until JUST before it starts shooting symbols at you then quickly climb it

Yup. In fact, every time Trico would do a run, fall down from a great height, *any* time the world started to crumble around you, I always moved my stick a bit to see if I still had control of my character on Trico's back, and every time it was real-time. Staggering attention to detail, incredibly detailed shader work (though this would hit the framerate pretty hard sometimes), and a seamlessly designed world.
At the end when you stand over the entire explorable area I got Dark Souls feelings with how consistent it all was
Seriously, you are doing something wrong.

Trico's flying! I was shocked when I noticed I could still clamber around Trico's back as we soaring and the camera went into a more cinematic angle.

I remember Ico getting a lot better as it went along, is the same true for Last Guardian?

I believe any game made before 1997 is "essentially cave man art."
Just got access to the r1 commands and issuing them is as sluggish and vague as almost every other bit of control in this game. What am I doing wrong? If I hold down r1, shouldn't trico go where I tell him to go 100% of the time? This game is starting to become a slog with these controls.
Once you get about ~3 hours in, this game doesn't let up at all. It's very much like ICO in that regard. It comes into its own, and goes above and beyond feeling like a greatest hits of Ico / SotC imo.

It's one incredibly paced game. The setpieces in this are technical marvels. Ueda/Team Ico rival Naughty Dog in making sure you're always in control

I'm reminded of Jim Sterling's video review/impressions where he complained that Trico catching and eating a barrel mid-air was cool but it only happened twice to him in-game seemingly at random. Well....

You might want to spend some actual time working with Trico, learning its visual cues and executing it. I feed him the same way every time. The only time he refuses is if he sits and goes on a hunger strike later in the game.
No, he'll go to the general direction. If you direct him at something that doesn't actually lead anywhere or has no relation to the path your taking, he'll gruff at you, sit down and stare. Once you walk into a new area, Trico does a pretty good job of looking at the next jump point or general area where you need to go. Pay attention to him and follow his lead. At other times you need to observe the environment yourself. I'm nearing the finale and I completely love every minute. The major platforming sections and the scale are breathtaking!

Help me out GAF, I'm stuck. Just a few hours in I think. Is there any way to track how far I am lol?
"The beast was ill at ease until I realized he was hungry". I went in the room and found the little bucket, brought it back and fed him. Now I'm stumped lol. He's walking around but I don't know how to move the mine cart.

Game is absurdly gorgeous (as well as deeply moving)
...but these controls man.... They're REEAAAALLLY bumming me out

Walk past the mine cart. Move one of them to jump up to switch. Trico should move the second out of his way.

Go back inside the mine and look to your left. There's some stairs there and something at the other end. You need one of the mine carts on the inside.
I'll stop there and let you figure out the rest.

Lmao didn't realize
there were two. Was literally thinking "damn that's a huge mine cart."
Thanks homiiiieeeesss
Really appreciate the help guys. I normally wouldnt ask for a second tip but the bit directly afterwards
is giving me a serious headache with the spinning plates/fan. I can stop it with my shield for as long as I hold it in place and trico is now outside the dome...what next? Trying to aim the shield and have trico shoot at every single pixel currently

Let it be known, it's NOT controlling Trico that's bumming me out
It's how sloppily Torico controls along the camera itself
I REALLY hate that he either sneaks very slowly or goes into a full-on sprint. I mean, I can get used to it, I Just hate when analog range is wasted like that.
There's heavy and deliberate for the sake of immersion like the heavy aiming in Killzone 2.... then there's this, where it just feels... off

Youtube uploads not working on my Pro right now or I'd upload a video. I could only fit 15 mintues since that's the PS4's max share size.

Yep, tried it and immediately brought it down to 75 percent instead
The edge of the room right above you is climbable.

Only played a couple hours so far, but I have yet to encounter any weird camera issues or problems getting Trico to do what I wanted it to. Every time I tried to get Trico something I couldn't get it to do, it would always end up being because that's not where you're supposed to go/what you're supposed to do. Very interested to see where this game goes.
Oh my god

The heights in this game are insane. The sheer verticality gives this game some of the most intense platforming I've enjoyed in a while

Man... I can't believe I'm playing this. Never gave up hope about its release despite the years of vocal online doubters, and I'm so happy for Ueda and his team. A singular masterpiece. Not done yet but pretty far.
I want to beat the game but I also want to savor it and really take it in.
The reveal of how the boy got to the beginning of the game and right afterward.... man. It it weren't for the future voice over I would have thought that he was a goner.

This sounds great. Much like Argo in SotC. People thought that controlled poorly, but they were just expecting it to control like Epona on N64. But Epona controlled like a mechanical tank horse.

I didn't really have an issue with this because if you fell far you either survived or went to a loading screen before you hit the ground.

Man, spoiler tag that late game talk!!!
Now that I played a few hours I do feel the jank. Camera's atrocious - it's been years since I've been this aggravated with one lol. Even SotC circumvented this by having much bigger areas to avoid getting it caught on walls. I can see why some don't like the controls - they don't always seem to do as I want but I still like the feel of them anyway.
At the end of the day though I'm still loving the shit out of it. Nobody makes games like this.

For me, later game frame rate in 1080p Pro mode was horrible. Down to like 10-15FPS in the last segments at worst. Not sure if all the people saying it's perfectly smooth just haven't gotten far in the game or if I encountered some bug.
This is the perfect after-work game. I appreciate not having to find collectibles or getting headshots and just getting through this labyrinth with Trico
Controls are easy (haven't played the previous games.)
Agree with consensus about the camera (at times).
Climbing Trico could be smoother; they need that Naughty Dog magic there!
I appreciate the moments where you wonder if Trico's gonna do what you want as he sort of pauses and try to figure out what you want. And then he does it. Freaking amazing.

I'm literally about to smash my PS4. Wow. I've never been so infuriated by a game before. Okay, so can someone help me out? I've spent upwards of an hour trying to get Trico to lift me up to a platform. I'm about 1.25 hours into the game. Just had my second run-in with the armor enemies. Trico just rolled around and enjoyed a shallow pool in an open area. Then I jumped over a small arching bridge that has been broken. Now, I'm trying to have him lift me onto a scaffolding platform made of wood. He won't listen. He keeps hopping up and leaning on all the wrong walls and refuses to lift me onto the stairs I need to get to. Goddamn it's horrible.
I think you have to jump to the stairs if I'm remembering correctly. He didn't put me right on them either.

Jesus, i started playing at 7:30am and now it's almost 2:30pm. How does a game with no loot based systems kill the time so quickly? It's unfathomable, I don't get this with any other linear titles.
I just pushed past the E3 demo and that 2nd Trico trailer. And I have 2 major gripes with this game:
Where the fuck is the photo mode?
And why isn't there VR support? The world is just begging to be immersed! That sheer verticality!!! UGGGHH... why?

One of the most beautiful games I've played. I have over 100 screenshots
Bro this game barely manages 20fps on my launch ps4
Impressions after the
.
Just like with their past games, the environments in this are wonderful. The graphical quality is reeeeeeeeeal good, and I love how the boy stands out some due to what seems to be a little art style difference. I love the contrast.
Trico is nothing but incredible. Everything is exactly as said and it seems like a real animal, and all of the little things it does like moaning when you're gone or figuring out the way to go are just ridiculous.
However, I'd be lying if I said this one hasn't pissed me off a little bit. I didn't think they'd be giving me too much trouble but man the controls and camera are killing me. Half the time I can't see what's going on on Trico's back because the camera wonks out, and I've died more than a few times because the kid decided to drop straight off a cliff instead of jump or move where I needed him to. It really sucks me out of the experience when (spoilers for the segment I mentioned in first sentence)
Overall I'm loving everything about it, but I HATE that constant camera or control blah moments are pulling me out of it.

I'm trying to climb over both Tricos to get to the next step and I fall off the bridge 3 times because I don't really know.

Ach, I finally got it. Yep, just needed him to get closer. That was a phenomenally annoying experience. I'm nervous for the rest of the game.
