I never thought a game could outdo ZoE2 in terms of OMG graphics on PS2, but Okami just did in my opinion. The story thus far has been great and the mechanics have that touch of old school Capcom magic I love oh so much. Only 30 minutes in but its been great so far.
I cant believe how many great games are coming out for ps2 this year, its nuts.
-
I hate it.
-
OMG just got the power slash technique, so awesome!
-
Still not liking it.
-
The whole paint brush shit is amazing, I love it. This game is my game of the year! SORRY GUITAR HERO II! I KNOW YOULL ROCK BUT IVE HAD YA ONCe YOURE NOT LIKE THIS! OMG OMG OKAMI!
-
This is probably the worst game released this generation.
-
:rofl
-
Okami is the kind of pretty that makes me feel like I've been living a bad life and do not deserve such wonders.
-
Just played three hours of it. Painting trees back to life is oddly satisfying, as is paint-slashing old dudes when their backs are turned. Did the first mini-dungeon in Hana Hills, which was fun, but I'm jonesin' for a REAL boss fight.
-
oh you'll get one, isnt this game pretty long?
I loved the whole bit with the legendary warrior in the first village lol
-
yeah, it's BIG like my
...
yeah, it's LONG like my
...
uh about 40 hours
:(
-
haha
-
Lego Star Wars II is more fun than Okami.
:P
-
I traded in Lego Star Wars II for Okami.
-
As evident by your recent Pokemans purchase, you may have lost touch with REALITY.
-
I hate it.
Yeah me too....:( bye bye 40 bucks
-
Wait, this is the game about the wolf that draws shit, right?
Between this and Pokemon.... :ninja

Yep...
LOOK A BLACK TREE!!! DRAW CIRCLES AROUND IT!!!! (first circle doesnt work)..
Do it... again!!!!
Dude... Navi err Issun, get out of the way!
COOL ONE EXPERIENCE POINT!
you turn around and there's 10 more. "should I waste my time drawing circles around all these damn things or just run by?" Let's draw cricles!!
Hey look a merchant! "Hi there god that can't survive in water, have some food to feed animals"
-
Wow, that sounds incredibly lame. :(
-
Sounds to me like someone sucks at the first few hours of the game lol.
-
Lay off of the guy, he just got married. :(
-
YOU DONT EVEN NEED TO PAINT A GOOD CIRCLE! BOTH ENDS JUST NEED TO CONNECT OMG OMG OMG
-

:( I just suck with the analog stick.

Hey look a merchant! "Hi there god that can't survive in water, have some food to feed animals"
:lol Ok now that part is true.
-
Yeah but you can make any great game sound absurd if youre upset over not being able to draw a circle :p
-
This game is Kameo Redux
-
Samurai Warriors 2 (X360) is more fun than Okami
:P
-
Geez, and I thought the Wind Waker was gay enough...
...this game sounds more homosexual than a threesome consisting of White Man, demi and PD.
-
I think that's mean to include demi into that orgy of man flesh.
-
demi eats it up
-
Morphix: Sam War 2 is much improved over the original I thought.
-
Lego Star Wars II is more fun than Okami.
:P
I'm picking Okami up in a few minutes, but once again it deserves to be pointed out: You liked Ninety-Nine Nights.
-
I think this is just a case of GAF liking it so Evilbore must rebel against the 'wacky jappy' when in fact Okami sold shit in Japan so wtf guys.
All I get from everyone here is CIRCLES ARE HARD TO PAINT which is false cause come on, how distinguished mentally-challenged are your gaming skills if you cant paint a circle. I also get ITS GAY a lot which doesnt even have much backing.
The 'visuals arent that good' argument may be subjective, but its in the minority. Then there's the over-simplification of the gameplay with dashes of absurdity to try and make the game sound unreasonable and tedious, when in fact it is neither.
Im sure ill get some bashful eye emoticons, some more youre gay stuff, or XXX > Okami reponses, but I know what game all of you are playing at now.
-
Sounds to me like someone sucks at the first few hours of the game lol.
I watched denise play it, and she was going through it quickly. The whole concept of the game really sucks for me. Some stupid god trying to gain her powers back. It's just boring, I reaaaally hate the drawing thing
-
Yeah but you can make any great game sound absurd if youre upset over not being able to draw a circle :p
I don't have any fucking trouble drawing a circle I'm not some fucking distinguished mentally-challenged fellow. I'm really very good at practically any video game I pick up. Don't act all high and mighty like you know everything. Just accept the fact that some people don't like the concept of Okami and it's not due to being able to draw a stupid fucking circle.
-
You bitched then lamented not having Starcraft 2, thats just fucking silly. Its not even in the same genre.
-
............ I commented on a game I didn't like, and then wished I had a game I did like.
This is silly? You don't even have an argument anymore....... Here Okami is fun for people who like that japanese culture and anime stuff. I'm not one of those. I'm glad you like the game and I hope you enjoy finishing it. I'll stop posting mean things about your game now.
-
GAMING IS SERIOUS BUSINESS >:(
-
I think I can settle this by saying - hey - we all know Okami is a polarizing game. MAF is entitled to like it, because he is a mod and has powerful Internet magick and Prost can wish for unneeded sequels to a horribly aged RTS overrated by the nerdy public.
-
MAF IS ENTITLED TO MAKE YOU FUCKERS LIKE IT! :punch
PS: Okami isnt anime. Come on.
-
oh btw okami is for queefs
-
lolz
-
I hate the concept of Madden. Do I whine like some sort of spoiled prat about it? No.
I don't give a shit about Japanese culture, and my anime viewing is terribly narrow. I like GOOD KICKASS ADVENTURE GAMES THAT PLAY BETTER THAN WIND WAKER. Hence, I dig Okami.

Drinky, quit lying - reveal your true form! The power of Christ compels you.

How about "lolz"?

Oh you fucking fuck. Starcraft owns.

I did it for the lulz.

Just admit it, you never played starcraft online! If you did, you wouldn't be saying such.... hurtful things :'(

I wrote for Nintendorks. Playing StarCraft was like initiation. Zerg rush ftl.

The Nintendo 64 Starcraft is NOT Starcraft.
-
I remember Nintendo 64 Starcraft at E399. The booth lady that was demostrating it to me was really attractive but I think she new the game sucked. I talked it up like it was 'kinda' impressive then left her to her MISERY.
-
The Nintendo 64 Starcraft is NOT Starcraft.
Jesus, we all had PCs. StarCraft 64 is a slight against humanity. We'd play TFC, CS and StarCraft in a rotation because we were manly nerds.

All the exact same games I played the hell out of. I've played those 3 games more than any other games ever.
-
So far so good. I like slicing stuff up with my brushstrokes. They could have really cut down on the text/story though.
-
I love the text story, dont be whiny. They coulda given more options to SKIP story, I will allow that complaint.
-
I'd love to turn your red face grey and _________________________________________ you're cut in half! man that was a blast
-
There's WAY more than that if you played more than an hour :p
-
He just watches me play :P I like it a lot so far. It's more task oriented rather then battle and enemies at every corner. Just my type of game. I really like doing the side quests for each area and saving up money/items. Did you know that the load screens are actually a mini game?? I found it out by accident. You can get free dragon claws from it if you fill up the screen with wolf paws (best to try while loading up the game) or make sure all the large paws are on the path in the alternate load screen (Press X).
-
The only real complaint I can see came SORTA from etiolate. It would have been nice to be able to skip the larger story segements. I dont wanna do it but an option is an option.
-
I got all achievements in Condemned, sent it back today. I should get Okami, I bumped it to the top of my list. Is it short?
-
No, it's about 40 hours long.
-
There's 6 chapters I think in all, it took me 7-8 hours to do the first one while attempting to complete as much as possible. Someone running through for the bare requirements I am sure could get through it faster, but half the fun is doing everything. Plus if you do a lot of the side-quests your brush techniques will get upgraded.
-
I'm enjoying it so far... I just find it _slightly_ overrated... dazzling graphics and art style for sure, though
maybe this is just because it's the first few hours (and so it's just a string of pretexts to teach you gameplay mechanics), but I find that the game pauses the action far too frequently, and that most quests aren't really challenging or interesting to do... Zelda games are definitely far better in that sector... the draw detection system is also somewhat spotty
still very well worth playing and fascinating... what an ambiance man, I've shouted "wow!" at the game's allure, and only did so for all of next-gen's games with like Metal Gear Solid 4, Motorstorm and Heavenly Sword... the wolf character is incredibly well done... amazing characters and presentation that're very theatrical too, it's just gorgeous all around :)
-
Well to put things in perspective Mon, there are games I have played recently, that stick you in one room, full of NPCs, that walk you through the instruction book.
Its fine to recognize pretext, for whatever intellectual credit you desire, but Capcom would hear nothing but bitching if the tutorial was extremely structured, or if there was none at all.
At most I SUSPECTED the first act was a tutorial of sorts but I didnt much care.
Its an adventure game, not an action game. I do agree the combat thus far. 8 hours in, is still kinda easy, but its on par with the difficulty of Wind Waker. And you wanna talk pauses in action, Wind Waker had players on a fucking boat for hours between sections. Most of the 2D zeldas were more puzzle than action, and the action that WAS there required less thought than Okami.
The only spot ive noticed weird issues with the brush system is when youre on the speeding log.
-
yah I've got nothing against this system of gameplay teaching, since anyway basically any console RPG and adventure game has always been like that
it just feels weird to realize that the "uncanny" events and the characters' corny dialogue of the first few hours of these games is fake and only serve to put the tutorial in place :lol
-
well i'd guess that the entire story the game is based on is a little "fake" ;)
Glad youre enjoying it despite the misgivings. I think if a person gives it a chance there's a lot to enjoy here. There was a good interview with the creators in the latest EGM.
-
Is there an option to speed up the text at least? The story has interesting points, it just takes its time saying so.
Very much my type of game. I am ejoying the brushing part more than I thought. Haven't hit a big dungeon yet. Are there dungeon like areas? I assumed there was.
Also, A LOT of the music so far sounds familiar. Like, from snes Square games.
Does helping the animals pay off in the end? I keep feeding them, and they love me so.
-
Yes, there are dungeons.
Yes, helping the animals pays off in a big way.
-
Is there an option to speed up the text at least?
just keep pressing X
-
Feeding animal, helping people, just doing the sidequests in general, will trigger 2nd and 3rd events from some of the other gods. This gets your brush-stroke arts powered up 2-3 times. Also the praise you get for feeding animals and the like is used to level up your stats, dont forget ;)
As for the dungeon thing, nothing about Okami was designed to be a DUNGEON. That is to the game's credit. By not creating DUNGEONS in the traditional sense they have provided an environment that is as believable as it can be for a fantasy story. I never feel like I am entering a dungeon or a hub, the game promotes a feeling of a WORLD, which is sorta the point.
As for the text, what do you have against the story? Its better than Wind Wakers story IMO.
-
I just like to play through my stories, not read/watch them. I'm not far enough into the story to judge how good it is. I just don't want to keep scrolling through text.
