Never has a videogame -or anything else for that matter- made me feel and care so much for an AI.
I always wanted a dog growing up but my parents were not okay with it - I feel like The Last Guardian filled that small void in my childhood memories.
Did I sayAI? Scratch that, my heart doesn't feel right when calling Trico that ugly word.

@HylianBran lmao I would love to hear your thoughts on both ICO and TLG - ICO is high on my replay list.
I've tried playing ICO like three or four times and I would always play it for an hour or two, think "this is interesting!" and then drop it. Granted that was years ago but still I'm a bit hesitant on jumping into it again. I also wanted to play these games in release order, so me never getting past ICO is why I took so long to play Shadow of the Colonoscopy.
@HylianBran I had the same issue with ICO but I realized it was due to how I used to play games - I used to binge them by doing 3-5 hour sessions, sometimes more. Now I rarely have time to binge videogames but what I did with ICO (and TLG as well) was to play it in short bursts (15 mins to 2 hour sessions at most) - I always stopped playing them as soon as I was getting sleepy, didn't figure out what to do, etc. They are very relaxing games and not frustating/boring if you take it easy with them. At least that's how I learned to appreciate them.
I've never played games like that. Well, I did when I was little but Wii Sports taught me to take breaks while playing games which is advice that I've taken to heart. I know some people get pissed when games say this shit but I don't, I've always had the sense to stop playing games once I get exhausted, or once I've reached a suitable threshold to leave it off. Video game-playing gamers often scoff at stuff like this and just keep pushing through which is super disappointing, it's disrespectful to their own time and to the game. Games are different from movies in that they have always been built with some degree of malleability in terms of the way we play them, so taking a break also feels like giving the game a break. Its a lot easier to be positive about a game if you don't spend tons of time getting worked up over some dumb problem; sometimes taking a break gives you the oomph you need to see the solution.
The amount you play a game at once and the environment in which you play a game aren't discussed often enough, I guess because they're kinda silly, but I do think it is important. Instead of getting pissy about a game and complaining on the internet after playing it for hours at a time, people should really just take a break or god forbid stop playing it, accept you don't enjoy it, and move onto something else.
