I cannot fathom how bad people are playing this game. It's like they got totally bugged copies I didn't. Or they have disastrous issues with controlling an analog stick.
People reporting unpreventably dying a lot or being unable to get Trico to do something they want for 15 minutes signals profound incompetence or misunderstanding of controls.
Seriously, what's your deal? Just because you had a flawless experience (which I highly doubt), then anything less results in an insult?
How many ruins did you run around and traverse barefoot?
Yeah, you've got to be trolling. Even when not standing on rubble, the boy will always stumble when jumping forward.
Have you ever seen an animal in real life? They don't always reach what they try to bite. Trico realistically repositions himself to get the barrels he misses. Besides who cares? Just leave the barrel and he will grab it. R1+circle will get him to target and eat any barrels nearby. Eating barrels is like 1% of the action in-game.
Your attitude is shit and condescending. Take a step back and realize that. Unless you already do, to which case you're not a very good representative of this community.
I cares, because it's a frustrating part of the game. And I've seen him miss repeatedly, then whine and give up. Every single post of mine in the past hour or so has been solely to point out parts of this game that are making me consistently more frustrated than any other game I've played.
The slow motion is there to indicate to you you made a dangerous jump, and that's your cue to try move in mid air to grab the creature. It's not always to indicate he will grab you.
Okay fair enough. I thought this because the first time this mechanic is presented, the two go hand-in-hand. That still doesn't detract from Trico missing me when I was within a foot of him.
The camera is indeed fucked but it only really gets in he way in cramped spaces and it's usually easily remedied by not trying to cram yourself in a tight space, i.e. jump off Trico and walk instead of riding his neck through a cramped space.
I disagree on you stating it only happens under those specific circumstances. I feel like I am constantly fighting the camera. If I let it auto-follow me, then I'm screwed.
And yet there are people speed running it under 5 hours. Listen no one isn't saying you're having issues but some of those are what I would not even what I would consider worthy of criticism. For example the slow mo as you fall past Trico happens no matter what in many cases, even if you're coming nowhere close to Trico. This isn't auto platforming like the Uncharted games where your character will often be attracted to or drawn towards grabbable point that you should have missed. If you aren't going to land a jump, you aren't going to land a jump and that includes Trico assisted saves. This isn't really flaw, you just missed Trico and this is no comment on your skills or the controls, its just a missed jump/fall. It happens.
RE:
Bolded Yes, there are people speed-running it in under 5 hours. And it's widely considered (in the communities I'm partaking in) artificially difficult for these points being discussed.
RE:
Underlined Well, *you* aren't, but you're making quality posts.
But it sounds like this game is just hell for you for some reason. I hope you bought it physically so you can take it back. There's no reason for you to play this game and suffer like this.
"For some reason?" Like, maybe the ones I've been taking the moment to elaborate on? I've pointing out the things that frustrating to me. Hell, call it venting. Though these issues do exist beyond me, as seen by other posters.
Honest question. Why roll your eyes at that?
As I posted before, I never even attacked an armour either besides shoving into the ones to push the shields out of their hands so Trico wouldn't be scared of them.
Not a single time from start to end. It didn't even come to mind.
I either ran away from them or climbed on top of Trico so he could protect me as I tended to his spear wounds.
Because The Lamp felt the need to insult me on what I was experiencing, yet s/he never actually took these actions while playing.
Had a couple of problems getting Trico to do what I wanted through the commands. Can get a little frustrating. Still despite those niggles and camera issues, its certainly a cracking game and if you loved Ico and/or SotC you'll love this too. Trico is very adorable and amazing to watch develop and grow your friendship. It's just a shame there's a few issues that do hamper it I think from becoming a true classic.
Thank you!
I love Ico and maybe by the time I'm completed with this game I'll feel the same way.
Does this game have the weirdest bugs or am I missing something?
I just crawled my way through a closed gate, thinking I would have to find a switch or something to open it for Trico, and to my surprise it managed to follow me through the gate somehow.
Curious as to how it pulled that off, I went back and try to call it out of the gate, and sure enough it now has no way to go through it, and it's just banging its head against it trying to bring it down.
And I don't even think this is the first time something like this has happened.
This had me confused, too. That particular gate will only open one way for Trico.
