I'm about to enter the second village. If this game is really super-long, maybe I can just stop halfway and beat Skies of Arcadia first.

I hate 3d zelda, especially when its made by capcom.
Ill stick with it a bit longer.
For y'all having trouble with slashes, use the z button to place the brush. It steadies the line.

Err... yeah, I was curious about this. I just checked the assets for Okami that are available via Capcom's press site and there is a shit ton of Ameterasu art. What the.

Can I just say that I love this soundtrack. I have actually taken this in to a couple of Oriental restaurants in the area. One in town called the "Fortune House" has the perfect feel and is always playing Okami-esque music. This is just a beautiful serene spread of music.
And is there a way we can merge the PS2 into this. At least a mention to those who live in caves (Or in the remote nether regions of Tahiti) and don't know about that iteration. It's been a while since I played this on my PS3 but this release has got me in the mood to go at it in between my hissy fitting of MGO manners.
To those experiencing this for the first time, you are in for something so good and different in a visual orgy of shananagans.

Available to non-press, too. They put up Okamiart.com to promote the upcoming art book.

Why is this game so boring? Man I had 10X more fun playing phantom hourglass.
Heres some problems:
-Too much gabby. Look developers, I dont care what trite narrative youve kept pent up for years after you thought you could hope to match a work of miyazaki, let me play my game. Everyone needs to shut up. This parasite especialy. Stop insulting my intelligence and let me figure shit out on my own.
-Could the zelda parralels be any more obvious? You have your typical dojo, annoying fairy sidekick, and I just rescued a mailman who seems too obsessed with the profession above all else. Somehow... its like... Ive played this before.
- note to RAD. If youre ever in wii territory again, waggle combat sucks. Use no more heroes as a template for success. Okami strains the wrist and the timing is absolutely lost on me. I wouldve preferred a camera moved via pointer anyway. That couldve freed up some buttons.
-Back to inaba
Then again the game would be better if I didnt have to constantly babysit a camera. Oh wow you have an overhead view option! Sexy satisfaction!.... wait why does it keep referting back to default view? Stop that! How did that enemy scroll flank me?
Did I mention it bores me?
WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Okay, after years of defending the Wii's controls, I've had it. They could've done without waggling for attack, but they didn't. Now I'm stuck with a port of a game that I want to play because it looks lovelier and more vibrant, but want to burn because the controls are crippled by a shoehorned gimmick. What was mildly unpleasant in Twilight Princess is just heartbreaking in Okami.
Well, piss.
Well, piss.
Waggle gets far less frustrating with the rosary beads and even the glaive weapons(since neither focus on hefty combo timing with very punishing miss results). Charging the glaive weapons can be a bit irritating though, understandable given all the drawing and waggle occurring between charge attempts.
I'm far enough in that I've conditioned well to the rhythm of drawing and attacking, but I won't at all argue waggle attacks as being a serviceable replacement for the buttons. I do much prefer drawing on screen with the remote than with the analog stick at this point. I can pull off most abilities at blinding speeds now.
Though it has its own issues outside of Wii additions, I would wholeheartedly slot this game WELL ahead of Twilight Princess on the enjoyment scale. It gets quite a bit right where I found Zelda to really falter. Obvious comparisons aside, I just straight up am enjoying the hell out of this game.

In the beginning I had problem with the waggle for the attack, but after 16hrs into the game, am getting the hang of it and felt that it is actually pretty well done.Tiefooz said:Okay, after years of defending the Wii's controls, I've had it.

I seem to recall hearing when it was first unveiled that Capcom was going to do it's best to outdo this fanmade cover.
I think that's the best part for me.

You are right, it does seem to always end with the most hilarious results imaginable. Like for instance, the simple fact that you failed to provide any pictures rebutting my comment. But apparently I get to see the picture of the unopened copy of NMH yet again. Why? The whole point was that you failed to open it after you claimed you had, all to try NMH again to see how much it sucked. Something that according to you was apparent after playing the Japanese version. Nevermind how that happened unless you had access to a Japanese Wii and the original Japanese game, which I am sure you would be more than glad to provide photographic evidence for, so as to disprove my implied accusation that you are pirating titles that you then temporarily buy before returning after you have taken your pictures.Amir0x said:
This could have been easily disproven in the previous thread being referenced, but you suddenly went missing, didn't you. Go ahead and prove me wrong right now.
My copy of the game finally arrived and I have to say, the game is great and looks good on my TV. The controls are nice and I feel like the drawing is much faster this time around. At this point, I don't even use the Z button for drawing straight lines and though I still have some hiccups here and there (mainly me trying to draw as fast as possible) I'm having fun. I haven't put as much time into it as I would have liked, but I'll end up finishing this version and that's a positive in my mind. Heh, heh.

So, I just beat the
and played about 5 hours. Loving the game, though graphically I think the Ps2 version is better and the dodging mechanic is probably the least responsive move in all games I´ve played on the Wii... =/
Either way, the game is fantastic. Beautifull and Amaterasu is much better than TP Link.
I have a question regarding the Celestial Paintbrush on the Ps2... could you move the camera like the Wii version or not? Because that would be a plus for the Wii version...

I believe they included Issun because they thought that having a silent protagonist with no sidekicks whatsoever would be boring, but they didn't want something intrusive. So, they chose a really tiny fairy who, by nature, is really annoying. The problem is that it fails at comic relief and just ends up at "Captain Obvious" territory, making him worse than Midna in terms of personality. I would have rather had Amaterasu talk than carry around a stupid sprite.
The mailmen could switch places and nobody would know. The Zelda parallels are obvious.
Waggle combat has made the signature reflector weapons almost useless. I'm forced to use the beads because they actually attack when I tell them to. WHY do they have to add this tacked on crap? Why can't I just combo by pressing A and use the remote to dodge?
Whoa, this game looks super blurry for me. I was all hyped to finally get to play Okami but I'm totally distracted by the horrible visuals. Anything I can do besides trying either the LCD or standard "modes"? Is it not booting into 480p or something? For reference Brawl, Galaxy, and Zach + Wiki look fantastic on my setup.

Do you have the proper cables?DKo5 said:
VegaShinra said:
My Wii has never touched anything but proper component cables. As I said, all my other games look fine and as expected - but this is just downright upsettingly bad. I didn't go in expecting the most visually stunning game, but this looks really bad. If it just wasn't so frickin' blurry it would look fine!

Okami just looks like that. PS2 version did as well, so it's not the Wii version. I think it has something to do with the way the ink outline effect works. It just doesn't have any solid edges to any of the colors, everything kinda blurs together a bit. It's part of the art style it seems, for better or worse.
