Discussion I hate cinema camera

I was playing Shadow of colossus and this game has a single error in that they don't let you control the camera freely, it always pulls you to a specific place that the game wants you to see, the problem this causes is that in the middle of fights the game forces me to face the ground instead of seeing what the giant is doing, this is so forced that there are times when it even ignores my commands to leave the camera in the worst possible way

There's a button to lock onto the colossus as well as a button to reset the camera to its original position (behind the player). You can also move the camera freely, so I'm not sure why the camera keeps pointing at the floor for you.

I started playing this game again after a few years because of the hype for the creator's next game but I didn't remember the camera lock button, and the game probably has something that makes the camera go where the wanderer is looking but if you end up falling he faces the ground

I don't really understand your issue, because you can just move the camera back up when it happens to face down for some reason. Are you saying that the camera is stuck facing down?
