This is epic! / SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS - Pt. 1 / First time playing

[@Macktube]

I love watching people play the intro to this game. It's so beautiful and mesmerizing. Plus, the music is incredible and invokes a lot of mystery

[@OnceUponAQuest]

This game is super mysterious! I've heard amazing things about it and it's living up to it's reputation ☺️ absolutely beautiful scenery and epic encounters . And Agro the horse 🐎 💯🤩

[@theveillifter]

@@OnceUponAQuest U are very good playing well!! Others first play, get 80-120min+ in the first colossus.

[@theveillifter]

@@OnceUponAQuest I can tell u a secret about it, if u want

[@jlinkous05]

You'll never forget your first colossus!

[@IndigoRBLX]

I remember the very first time I saw this game. My dad had just borrowed this game from his friend for our PS3, I remember watching him beat Argus but that was it. 5 years later, he was at pool league and I was pretty bored , put the game on, started a new save and...been obsessed ever since, I beat the game and got all the trophies, I loved the game so much, I watched every video of someone trying to explain the lore on YT, every video Nomad posted, the beta dam, all the cut Colossus, I was obsessed . I then heard about the remake, process repeats all over again, all the trophies, all items, everything. It just warms my heart to see people have the same feeling of adventure and courage that I once had.

[@marcosalves4023]

One of the things I love the most about this game is how it tells you stuff without actually telling you. For example, me and my friend have this theory that Wander played a role in his village as a hunter before going in his journey because of how proficient he is with his bow and how experienced he looks when riding his horse, which makes even more sense when you notice he has no idea how to properly use a sword and just swing it around like a doofus.

[@OnceUponAQuest]

Ya that makes sense that he was a hunter. I like how he swings the sword around like that , it's endearing. And seriously his upper body strength for all that climbing 🪜 phew!

[@Sowde38]

I know I'm late chiming in, but for those who don't know. you don't control the horse, you control the REINS that control the horse. It is a subtle distinction, but an important one.

[@OnceUponAQuest]

So true! I never really thought about that before 🐎 Agro didn't seem to like stopping 😄

[@peloquin5652]

I love how you perfectly describe the design of Fumito Ueda games and how tiny you are in his worlds...

[@OnceUponAQuest]

It's amazing isn't it? You immediately feel humbled 🙂 thanks so much for watching and commenting 🤗

One of the most magnificent games.

It really is! I was so happy to be finally playing it 🗿🐎🗡️🦎

[@SamSung-dh8dr]

@@OnceUponAQuest I watched most of the episodes, the colossi will have pushed you to the edge of your limits 😆 It was good to show the real time having defeated them, honesty is precious.

[@OnceUponAQuest]

rage turtle!! thank you for watching! Ya I wanted to include the real time as I was editing out boring parts where I was running around trying the same thing over and over and being generally confused. The flying ones were my fave @@SamSung-dh8dr

[@SamSung-dh8dr]

@@OnceUponAQuest For the flying colossus, it was a good idea to evaluate all the options, and so epic to snag it on the first try. I really liked the electric snake in the water. It is harmless and what a poetic moment.

[@BryanMasten-pn8wo]

I still can't believe they made this already amazing game even more incredible.

I jumped in the water and died too. I mean, I didn't do it immediately but it was on my first playthrough. 🤣

[@OnceUponAQuest]

Thank you!! I knew I wasn't the only one 😂 splat

[@MimzieMalley]

I so need to replay this, the music hit me hard hearing it again, it’s been soooooo long 🥰

[@MimzieMalley]

When I played it was on PS2 it looks so amazing this version!

[@OnceUponAQuest]

The music is great! It has a magical feel to it. I'm really enjoying playing this game . The whole experience 💕

[@OnceUponAQuest]

I looked up some gameplay to see the comparison out of curiosity! You should definitely replay the remaster I'd say it would be so cool to have experienced playing both versions 🙂

[@dlazyace9116]

I remember playing this on the ps2. It was soo different from others games I've played before it but still gives me Zelda vibes because of Horse and MC.

[@OnceUponAQuest]

I can definitely get the Zelda vibes ! It's such a mysterious and magical game. It must have been amazing playing in on the ps2 !

[@tonydeluna8095]

Hello Emma! I’m really excited that you are playing Shadow of the Colossus! I remember this on the ps2 back in the days. Old school gaming, damn how time passes by! You are awesome and the channel! Have a wonderful play through 💛

[@OnceUponAQuest]

Hey Tony! Thank you for joining me! Ps2 has a lot of great games and memories. I remember when we got one (me and my brother) years and years ago. I didn't play it as much as did the playstation 1 tho so I definitely missed out on some good ones . I hope you enjoy the series and it brings back some good memories for you 😊

[@tonydeluna8095]

@@OnceUponAQuest hey Emma! Yes of course I will always be here supporting your channel! Yes this game is definitely a masterpiece! I’m looking forward to Episode 2! Have a great day 💛!

[@MaverickWolfGaming]

yet another unique, banger of a game! excited to see the whole playthrough!

[@OnceUponAQuest]

Thank you! Ya it's a really unique game . I'm really enjoying it ! 😃🦎🐎🗡️

[@kingofbudokai]

No, I cannot say I ever jumped from the top of the spiral into the pool of water that I already knew wasn't 3 feet deep. That never sounded like a good idea to me personally lol. Edit: I too love the camera work when riding Agro. Agro is my favorite horse in all of video games. I love the way he controls and the way the camera zooms out when you get going at a good pace, etc. (plus he's just the most noble steed ever considering what happens later.)

[@OnceUponAQuest]

Hahah well now you know for sure what happens. Splat. The low camera angle makes the horse riding seem soooooo cool. I love it 🐎

[@Ghozt.141tf]

Omg I love how you make your videos I can't wait to see more of your content. Love from Chile 🇨🇱

[@OnceUponAQuest]

Oh wow 👋🏻 hi Chile! That's amazing 😍 thank you for watching ☺️

[@geekcouplegaming]

Great video! Gotta play this game. Subscribed for more content and plan to watch the rest of your videos over the next few days 😀😀

[@OnceUponAQuest]

Thanks so much! Ah yeah I'd definitely recommend this game 🥰 welcome and I hope you enjoy 😁

[@azrulazman6180]

1stly, i MUST say that i REALLY adore ur enthusiasm when starting a new game, Ms Emma☺️ N ur always so invested when playing n that makes it even better! The graphic looks AMAZING! The imagery in this game is simply breathtaking! That played a huge part in making me(all of us) feel like we're in the game. Also, im TRULY sry for the inconsistency in commenting. It's hard for me to leave a comment when i havent played the game(A Plague Tale for example) myself. Same goes for this game😅 BUT this alrdy look super exciting n im ALL in for this new beautiful adventure together with u n everyone here! Hope u've been well, Ms Emma🤗

[@OnceUponAQuest]

Hi Azrul and thank you so much for your kind words. I'm really happy that you're enjoying my videos! And don't worry at all about consistently commenting or watching, I don't expect that from anyone and I'm always delighted to see any comments on any of my videos! So thanks for watching 😄 I can only imagine what this game must have been like on the PS2 🥰

[@zoop2132]

Lol iirc if u kneel your stamina recharges faster. Then there's the lizards. Heh.

[@OnceUponAQuest]

Yes the lizards are tasty 🦎 The stamina was very manageable in this game. I really enjoyed how it worked

[@Sr.PrinceSo]

[@texn7526]

Hi Emma!👋Nice to meet you🙂Actually found you through the Plague Tale Requiem feeds. Super sad ending and did not expect they would do it that way. Not even a hug goodbye, a verbal goodbye, just a sling to the noodle hit...I dunno that really bugged me. From your reaction it was the same. I feel it could have been done differently is all. Amazing game just not what I was expecting in that segment. Definitely if you loved The Last Guardian you're going to love this one! Plus you get a Horse so it has to be awesome, right?!🥰The story is vague just like Last Guardian but it explains things in a way as it progresses. Great episode thanks so much! 🙂

[@OnceUponAQuest]

Hello and welcome! Thanks so much for watching 🤗 I loved Plague Tale Requiem but ya that ending was tough. The way it all went down was heartbreaking. I'm so glad you found my channel through that playthrough 😃 The Last Guardian was amazing! And yes, very ambiguous and open to interpretation so I'm looking forward to seeing if I can figure out what's really going on in Shadow of the Colossus. There's something so fun about playing in a strange, unknown world where nothing is certain. And I just love running around on my horse 🐎 the best!!

[@dougsa586]

this game is different from many other games, but it's fun, hope you like it

[@OnceUponAQuest]

It feels very unique and fantastical . I'm intrigued and love being in a new unknown world . Thank you!

[@shanehall75jamaicangamer12]

Sadly I've only played the demo for this game way back in 2010 on Playstation 2 lol but never played the full game least now I know whst I'm up against when I start playing this 😂 the controls weren't difficult for me though lol what do u think of this game Emma?

[@OnceUponAQuest]

Oh ya the controls definitely felt clunky at times. I think one important thing I learned was not to fight the camera so much and just let the camera do its own thing. Enjoy it when you play!

[@shanehall75jamaicangamer12]

@OnceUponAQuest yea thats true and don't worry you'll be seeing my gameplay of shadow of the colossus on here when I buy my ps5 in 2025 😊 I've been dying to get a ps5 ever since 2020 when I came out the wait will soon be over 😁

[@peloquin5652]

I would guess Wanda is 15/16 years old, so not an adult, and that is why the horse looks so big.

[@OnceUponAQuest]

Ya maybe it's cos he's young! Small boy big horse 🐎

[@martingenero6328]

[@popcornpony8420]

13:00 wait hold on, since when he can talk? 😮

He's always been able to talk. He talks in the PS2 version as well. That's not new. Don't you remember him screaming "AGRO!" a thousand times? lol

@@OnceUponAQuest yeaaah! Hey, let me Tell u one thing u may not know. Before Wander dies and Mono revive the Dormin Voice have only the dark presence, So The light presence maybe IS in Mono, as the man look back for a moment, like she is reborning from the light presence, as the dark is sealed in the boy.

[@ChittaMcgee]

First time seeing this game. I like that you have to figure out how to kill the colossus without fighting. Each one has his own puzzle and will probably get harder has you go along. Well only 16 more to go. Good luck!

[@OnceUponAQuest]

Ya I really like how each one is different and you have to figure it out 😃 it makes it feel so mysterious and fun 😊
