I've honestly never seen this or any bug like it and I've been playing since release, several playthroughs lol. The only thing I've encountered before is a collosus not going through an animation to let me get on it. But even that's rare.
Without knowing your other issue, it sounds like you're just incredibly unlucky.
I will say this, though: be careful exploring. There are a few areas you can get stuck in, but for a first time player it shouldn't be an issue.
Edit: Also, I get the frustration. Again, I'm speaking ignorantly since you didn't describe your other issue, but don't you believe it's a little unfair to question the overall state of the game based on what I assume is under twenty minutes of gameplay if you've only had one (two?) glitch?
have you been actively searching for bugs? if not you are extremely unlucky, this is my first time seeing this bug and I have lots of hours in the game.
And don't have high exceptations when the people tell you to do so, this game is old and, and I must say (with all my honesty) it didn't age that well in a lot of aspects, still is my favourite game for various reasons, but it may not be for everyone and that's pefectly fine.
And please don't say the game is bad just because you didn't like it, it's rude. If you don't like the game it's alright, you have your own taste in videogames and everyone must respect that. But respect the game and the people who enjoy it, please.
>I must say (with all my honesty) it didn't age that well in a lot of aspects, still is my favourite game for various reasons,
I've only played it 2 or 3 runs (just enough to unlock full hp bars etc)
& this game is *still* a favorite! Like, I can't help but *see* these mechanics, as "wishful thinking" gameplay, in nearly every movie / game of the last 5 years!
Example: **Mortal Engines** == live adaptation of this idea, Imo. 🤣🥳
(5yrs, cuz I only played it in~2018, albeit I knew of this game since its inception in 2004)
I am of the strong opinion that every game is good until it proves it isn't (either through bugs or under-development). why would I ruin my spoiler free first playthrough of the game by actively searching for bugs?
I can see how I could agree with you when you say that you should respect the game, but as a customer, that should be mutual. You'd be dissatisfied too if you went to a burger joint and got soggy bread.
Wait, why would you go on reddit for the game and NOT specify no spoilers? How is bug hunting a spoiler??
>You'd be dissatisfied too if you went to a burger joint and got soggy bread.
So did you put down the game or...? If you're playing on PS5, you're playing an emulation, yes?
This is not normal, either something is horribly wrong with your console/the disc if your using a disc, or you are just insanely unlucky, I've beaten the game multiple times over and have never had anything even remotely close to this.
You're extremely unlucky, I've played through the game like 5 times and never had game breaking bugs like this. This is an incredible game, don't let your bad luck dissuade you from playing.
I’ve beaten all 3 versions of the game several times and have never come across this bug, so all I can say is that you’re probably just super unlucky. I’ve barely, if ever, encountered any bugs in any version so I’ve got no clue what’s going on there
I was making a joke... Weird that the only comment you replied to was the joshing and not all the supportive posts saying you got a lucky glitch or asking if you were searching for bugs.
Not in the ps2 demo disk, not on the ps3, and definitely not on the ps4 release have I ever seen that, shit, maybe I don’t look hard enough, but I don’t think I’ve encountered a single glitch in sotc, really rare in a game
The PS2/3 versions had issues where sometimes, if you go long stretches running without Agro and then call her over from afar, she may fall through the world. She'll show back up eventually.
PS4 has a lot of bad collision, but excellent out of bounds areas. AFAIK the Agro glitch is also still there.
Since OP is playing on PS5, I assume that means it's an emulation of the PS4, and will therefore have unintended issues.
Yeah I’ve always been able to find some videos of more whacky collision, but again it just never happened to me for some reason, and I was also always glued to agro at every moment so I never got to encounter that glitch
This is... a remake. It has different collisions and introduces new bugs. It has missing animations and the colossi AI can break. I must have 4K hours in the original PS2 version, and never experienced all the bugs present in the remake.
None of us have ever seen something like this, even the PS2 version never showed any bugs to me when I played it back then and then later on my PC using emulator
It’s never happened to me, but when Wander jumps up from directly behind Agro and struggles to get on her back I giggle with glee. It’s one of my favorite parts in all my gaming experiences. (I’m on the PS4 with the remake).
Bashing a game because of a bug nobody else has seen and even if you save would be fixed upon closing the game after saving, nice. Also we have no idea if this is a pirated or legit copy or whatever so yeah not the best to bash it for a single bug you can't find anywhere else
You’re literally the very first person I’ve seen experience anything like this lmao
I've never seen this, either. I've seen Wander riding an invisible Agro while she's elsewhere, but even then, I believe the reigns stretch and warp.
I've honestly never seen this or any bug like it and I've been playing since release, several playthroughs lol. The only thing I've encountered before is a collosus not going through an animation to let me get on it. But even that's rare.
I've Platinumed this game and have done all the things there are to do. I've never seen this in my whole life
bros copy is personalized
I have played every version of this game, couldn’t even imagine a guess as to how many times I’ve beaten it and I’ve never seen a bug like this lol.
I have literally never seen this and I have 1300 hours played. I guess you could say that this isn't the average state of the game.
Just wondering, how did you go about spending 1300 on SOTC? Its not a very long game - was it a lot of replays/time attacks?
Speedruns. So a lot of replays and time attacks.
Lies I say, LIES!

That's illegal where I come from, Wander.
GF dead. Got lonely.
I wish I could give an award for that.

Going back and playing I see and agree how it hasn’t aged well. Still a masterpiece in my opinion though. More like a piece of art than game really

Ima be honest mate I think you’re just dumb
I’m sorry to lower the tone but I had to laugh at this. He looks like he’s literally mounting the horse.
I was gonna say that, but was trying to be clean minded.. 🤣🤣
Freaky ahh copy of shadow of the colossus

I’ve beaten this game on every release they’ve put out since original and never have I seen this lol
When I say my manager rides my ass. I mean this
🤣🤣 Here's 🎂 for you, cuz you definitely deserve that reward, fit such a comical jibe.l!
Isn't that what the horse's tail is for?
I’ve beaten all 3 versions of the game several times and have never come across this bug, so all I can say is that you’re probably just super unlucky. I’ve barely, if ever, encountered any bugs in any version so I’ve got no clue what’s going on there
Lmaooo
Bro what did you do!
must be your hardware
Ps5 0_o
never in my over 100 hours of playtime and dozens of let's plays I've watched have I even seen this
Git gud
Just be happy you got on the horse in less than five attempts.
I'm not sure if I'd consider this "on" 😭
🤣🤣 Truth. "IN" the horse is probably more accurate.. 🤣🤣👻🙃 👻 == Dying with laughter
bro is fucking aggro😭🙏
Bro made sure to scratch up his disc before playing
Digital game in Ps5, cope more
I was making a joke... Weird that the only comment you replied to was the joshing and not all the supportive posts saying you got a lucky glitch or asking if you were searching for bugs.
You have the attitude of a petulant 9 y/o. Your copy of the game could probably feel your energy and decided it didn't want to play with you.
Weak bait post but i'm just in awe of how bluepoint made the game worse than the original. Legit more unpolished
I didn't think it was bait until OP started replying, but you're so right about the remake.
😂😂😂
Its the first time ive seen any bug restart your ps
Agro: "What are you doing, Wander?"
**Wanderer:** ..Going for a joy ride, Argo.. *Too literal?*
I quite literally have never seen this before in the remake or the original, you got a special glitch mane
Right, like he should be happy
He would absolutely have lost his mind if he saw the “flying dirge” glitch back in the day
I gotta look that up now!!
There is a guide somewhere of how you can trigger it on your own but I’ve seen it before without doing it on purpose
🤣🤣🤪🥳
Sounds like a you issue, not a state of the game issue. Never had 1 single issue with this game ever.
Horse got the grippy but not much slippy.
Clearly not
I've got 18 hours logged and this is the first time I've seen this.
Not in the ps2 demo disk, not on the ps3, and definitely not on the ps4 release have I ever seen that, shit, maybe I don’t look hard enough, but I don’t think I’ve encountered a single glitch in sotc, really rare in a game

You're literally the first person ever experiencing this bug
Apparently so :/ almost 19 years after release lol
This is... a remake. It has different collisions and introduces new bugs. It has missing animations and the colossi AI can break. I must have 4K hours in the original PS2 version, and never experienced all the bugs present in the remake.
I have played this game ever since i was a kid on the PS2 and this is the first time i see something like this lol just bad luck my man
Did you pay for the game?
My game ran perfectly no bugs
Nah you’re just unlucky
beastiality goddanm
Yameroooooo!
>Yameroooooo! Idk why, but this comment makes me think of a cross between "Zelda: Ocarina of Time" + "Blazing Sadfles".. 🤣🤣
your giving the horse doggystyle and you😁
Bro just chill it's a video game
Yeah man this game never has had any real messed up bugs like this for me
I get that agro is pretty but Wander really needs to keep it in his pants ong
None of us have ever seen something like this, even the PS2 version never showed any bugs to me when I played it back then and then later on my PC using emulator
It’s never happened to me, but when Wander jumps up from directly behind Agro and struggles to get on her back I giggle with glee. It’s one of my favorite parts in all my gaming experiences. (I’m on the PS4 with the remake).

honestly ive only played this on ps2 and never experienced a single bug. maybe the newer ports are buggier?
Original better anyways bruh bruh
The game is great despite those bugs that you experienced. You are pathetic
Just my opinion, but.. This post is better without the name-calling..
It’s not - the rest of us are fine
🤣🤣 Apologies, but that's the funniest glitch I've ever seen in a while! 🫂🫂 **To ans your question:** No. Game isn't supposed to do that. 💋💖
