UndoKFromHot Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I'm currently playing SOTC, the controls are fucking awful, but not so bad that I have to stop playing. I want to know if the platinum is hard, for a person that never played any Team Ico games. I actually played it because it's like that cult jewel that you must play.

Excesseus Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 The only thing you’ll find hard are unlocking all the items via the time trials, but if you just YouTube an example of someone doing it, it’ll be a massive help. There are 4/5 frustrating ones you’ll have to spend time practising. Apart from that, it’s easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i did not, so said screw it). GL HF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
communistwookiee Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Having never played a previous version of this game, I wouldn't call this one a hard platinum. A couple of the hard time trials require some persistence, but it is very manageable. Once you compete all of the hard trials, all of the other trophies are a cakewalk.

Guest Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I thought this was the PS3 version, this ps4 version is way easier. Well, maybe you will find some difficulty in the hard time trials, but I would say that it is nothing so big; with a little patience and insistence it is possible. Since the controls are purposely archaic, so yes, you will feel a little bit of frustration to do some. in addition there is a little bit of post game grind. in general, I do not consider it a difficult platinum. if you find the controls VERY bad, I don't recommend looking for platinum because you will have to complete all time trials twice in total, so don't ruin your experience. this is a good game, but platinum can be tiring. put on a headphone and enjoy the amazing soundtrack, I also recommend not watching location videos, try to find the colossi yourself. enjoy!

Deadly_Ha_Ha Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Easy, no, not easy. I think ease insinuates a distance you are allowed from a mastery of the gameplay, and SotC forces you to get as proficient with its systems as possible. More so on the ps3 than the ps4 but on either console you will learn to really play this specific game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraniteSnake Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Definitely an easy platinum, especially since you don’t even have to bother with the hard time trials and just do 2 runs of the normal time trials instead. Can’t speak for the PS3 version as I haven’t got around to playing it yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redgrave Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 It's not that hard with only the time trials being the main obstacle but the times are pretty lenient from what I remember. The only Colossus that I remember giving trouble for the time trials were the last two otherwise the rest are either easy to do or trial and error with very slight RNG involved. Once you do the time trials you will get items that will make the later playthroughs easier. One of which is a sword that kills them quicker and the other being an invisibility cloak that makes the final Colossus quicker to deal with.

Reinachii- Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Ps3? Yes, it can be considered difficult. Ps4? No, easy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hibari_larrea Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Bad controls, it is noticeable that they only play the PS3 or PS4 versions and they do not have to say experience if they have already had experience in the game since the original version, it is a piece of cake to pass the game even in hard mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FelixtheMaid Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Its not a easy platinum. This requires you to beat the game mulitple times to max out stamina or vigor. HTA is no joke. And you have specific trophies like seeking salvation or trick rider which are missable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_of_Ziggy Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Play the ps3 version and you will realise how easy this version is. The colossus’s shake much more in Hard time attack mode, Argos and Gaius are notoriously difficult, particularly the latter due to only having 5 minutes as opposed to 6 and a half on ps4. Some people find them impossible. Add to the mix the controls take more getting used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad they reduced them in the remaster because this game’s control scheme is not exactly conducive to performing quickly. Even though the PS4 version is way easier than PS3 I still wouldn’t really consider Shadow of the Colossus an easy platinum though. Not that it’s hard either. I think it’s actually way easier than the 6/10 guide rating, maybe a 4 or 5 at the very most. It’s mostly just a tedious pain in the ass. Team ICO makes incredibly unique games that are often breathtaking, emotional experiences and deserve to be played through at least once by every real gamer. But jeez their trophy lists suck fuckin ass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
