Poor Colossi

[Cash84]

Does anyone else feel sorry for the Colossi? I only got SOTC yesterday so have only killed two so far, but i felt a huge amount of guilt afterwards. Am I alone?

Nope, the atmosphere was specifically created to make you question what you were doing as the player.

Though I do feel the need to say: All the colossi WILL attack you on sight, the only exceptions off the top of my head being Avion (The first flyer) who attacks when you fire arrows at it, and Phalanx (the second flyer) who doesn't actually attack at all. A lot just happen to be slow and you can get to them before they get the chance (the first two are prime examples).

Why do people keep asking this?

YOU ARE NEVER ALONE!
Unless you are that guy that doesn't like Toy Story

Spoiler: And to illustrate my point

As for the Colossi, that's kinda the point, note how most don't bother you till you attack them, just wait for the ending it'll give you chills if you stop to think about it for too long.

I didn't really think about what I was doing while fighting the Colossi. The game felt too much like a horse riding/rock climbing simulator to me.

I think that's the point I only really felt sorry when i killed the second flying one till then I felt triumphant defeating them.

I'm pretty sure that was the intended effect.

As you play you realise that you are killing unique and beautiful creatures. Some of whom don't even attack you.

Besides, hardly any of them seem particularly aggressive, Mostly they just look huge, majestic and a bit sad.
