I guess painful and frustrating were poor choice of words. Maybe the way it works is serviceable, but I think SotC's climbing works better and I just don't get why this game regressed in that aspect.
I think a lot of it is chalked up to the geometry of Trico's body.

The focus of the game is completely different. It shouldn't work like in SOTC. The climbing isn't the challenge.

Ok, so I found something really strange in the end of the game.
Endgame spoilers:
Endgame spoilers:
On the top of the tower, right when Trico is attacked by the horde I ran around the platform because I didn't find the mirror at first.
What I found instead were strange yellow blobs of goo I haven't seen before or after in the game. What are they? You can carry them.

I think that is poop. Wash your hands.
Yup that's
Trico's sweet poop.
No you don't need to watch your hand.
Shame you probably didn't see the animation tho

The climbing on Trico is a bit awkward but the main offender for controls is the camera that constantly auto pans even when you're moving it yourself. It essentially feels like you're fighting phantom input and it's just awful. I had to force myself to not move the camera unless I was standing still.
There's a few strange oversights in that sense, like running on the spot when holding call and trying to move.

What time is it?
Transitioning from his tail or legs to the torso or from the torso from the neck also seems wonky. I finished the game this past weekend and I'm having trouble deciding how I feel about it. I have a lot of complaints about the game (camera, controls, interface, story presentation) but I'm glad it exists and I'm glad I experienced it. I cried a little bit towards the end of game.
After an encounter with another creature, Trico is lying on the ground, in pain and heavily panting. That struggle...I honestly thought he was going to die. I had to put down my longtime companion recently and I was transported back to the veterinarians office during those final moments. I guess I'm still emotionally raw but it is remarkable how believable the mannerisms Trico displayed throughout the game.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
The camera usually reorients itself to clue you where to go next. Try not to fight the camera too much unless you cant see where you're going.
Sometimes it bugs out indoors in tight spaces or when Trico passes by walls but for the most part the camera reorients itself to show you the way to go.

Just finished it.
Often I raged at the controls, sometimes I raged at Trico for not listening and occasionally the camera went hectic, so yes, it is frustrating in that aspect.
However, I will probably never forget Trico's eyes.
This game is such a great experience, I'm glad it finally got released !

The game wraps up so nicely, doesn't it? People talk about the satisfying ending but I think everything that happened before adds to the whole picture. The way the drama unfolds reminds me of good 80s/90s anime epics like Laputa or Nausicaä. I think they are related, even down to the themes.

Couldn't agree more.
The game really succeeds in building the relationship, it goes crescendo and at quiet a masterful pace. Everything is well thought out, from the architecture of the castle, the events, etc..

True and it's very handy once you work it out, but it could have maybe been mentioned somewhere since that's pretty rare these days and it took a bit of time to work out what was going on. I've been wondering if some people struggling with the controls are fighting the camera and not realized it.

nailed my epic E3 moment....
Choosing where to climb isn't exactly natural, and yeah, having to keep hitting X to fall off because the boy keeps autograbbing isn't the best it could be. A soft grip button on R2 would really be the best.

So I just got the game and SHIT do those blue armored dudes scare the crap out of me.
I'm not even joking. I had to freaking pause the game when I jumped into a hallway and suddenly two of those freaks were after me. I seriously flinched in fear at that.
It's at a point where I'm afraid to walk down a hallway without Trico knowing that I could have 3 or 4 of those guys suddenly on my tail should I so much as turn a corner.
I'm now at a part where Trico's tail is stuck under a door and the only way forward is through a hallway where I can see five of those guys just waiting for me to walk by them.
Yeaaaah I think that's where I'll stop playing this tonight.

If you hold X down, rather than tap it, he will drop entirely from Trico.
yeah the first time I had 5 or 6 of those guys on me I was pretty spooked, that music and ominous tone make this a low key horror game at points.
I didn't buy it. It was a gift. This game is absolutely riddled with a myriad of technical issues, buggy AI and performance issues. I like everything about the game besides playing it which is a shame.
I wasn't exactly expecting much even after all this time after shadow of the colossus which had a empty lifeless world, bad controls and severe technical issues.

I'm stuck GAF.
I'm at a point where Trico lies down because he's hungry. I wander into this alcove where a large cart is stuck halfway under a gate; the cart is on tracks. The floor has fallen out underneath these tracks, and that's where I find a barrel to feed him. After I feed him Trico is at the ready, but I have no idea where to go.
There's a chain that takes me up to what seems to be a dead end.
Anyone want to give me a hint or two?

Go back inside the alcove and look around very thoroughly (you don't need to check underground).

Well the game definitely does have framerate issues and Trico himself can be a bit frustrating at times, definitely a unique experience but it does have some issues, mainly with Trico just not knowing what to do occasionally.
Gorgeous game though, aboslutely jaw dropping at times, especially with the excellent art style.

If there is any hyperbole in this thread its these posts. We get that you dont want a bad word said about your beloved game, but to say it has no technical issues is straight up insane talk.
Luckily the rest of the experience makes up for the jankiness and glitchy movement/gerting stuck on things. For you to make posts like this you either havent played the game or just want to troll the thread as this game is fled with technical issues. The fact its still GOTY material for most of us speaks volumes for the quality of the rest of it.

TLG has the same technical shortcomings TLG had when it came out on ps2. Oh, how I remember having discussions with people calling SOTC "unplayable" because of the framerate and controls. I strongly disagreed back then and I still do now.
The controls of the boy are good enough and together with the lifelike animations serve the game. You can see they went for dynamic transitions in that the movement feels organic to the current surroundings. I love how the boy stumbles his way across uneven ground. You can feel he's working his ass of!
I can see why anyone who played... let's say the NieR Automata demo before this could be turned off by the controls at first, haha! Most people will get used to it after a few minutes.
I have NOT encountered any AI glitches at all, though I'd be interested what happened to those who did.

I think I am rouhgly 50% done but this game is...wow.
What I didn't expect was the great pacing. The flow of the game is jus perfect, the different situations all come together so smoothly. It is the biggest difference between this game and Ueda previous games I think. SotC was a bit repetitive because of its concept and ICO had less things happening.
Yeah the game has some problems like framerate issues, sometimes wonky cameras but you can count me in the team "it doesnt stand a chance chance against what this game manages to achieve"

I just got a gamebreaking bug and I don't know how to solve it: reached the
final part of the game, in which you need to slow down the fan by using the shield in the slot, I'm on the roof but there's no Trico for me, nothing at all. There is just a weird looking statue, I tried to restart a checkpoint, quit the game and boot it again, uninstall it and install it again but nothing, I can walk on this roof but there's nothing I can do. I saw a video and Trico should appear as soon as I leave the fan area, but it's not there for me.
Did you call him up?
DieNgamers

When you slowed the fan, did you wait and call Trico? Because otherwise he should still be under the fan.
Yes I did it.
Yup, did that too in one of my attempt, still the place outside is sadly empty. If I need to restart the game, I'll simply watch the ending on youtube.
So you saw him go up but he then disappeared?
Exactly, I saw him going up when I entered the tiny hole.
What, before the fans? How would that work.
You need to call him up right when you stop the big green fan with the shield mirror.
nailed my epic E3 moment....
LMAO, this is fantastic.
Happened to me once. Trico's pathfinding completely broke, and he was stuck. Tried to move, but couldn't. Had to restart checkpoint and things went smoothly again.

Finally got playing this on Christmas Eve, I'm just at the part where
and I'm starting to get really worried for Trico. I'm afraid to keep going and at this point I want to take the disc out and put it in the freezer.
