Really, because I liked Viewtiful Joe because it was hard as hell near the end. Okami from what I read is really easy, and the demo sure as hell was easy. Viewtiful Joe was fucking awesome if you actually played it with the time effects to speed up attacks or slow down things for added damage. The brush was cool in the Okami demo.. you used it to draw a crude circle which blows out the fire that was surrounding the boss. You had to do that to damage him without being killed, it was an easy fight though.

man, I couldn't even get through the second level in Viewtiful Joe for whatever reason, it was just so hard for me. But Okami I think I died like twice the entire game. But you get bottles (LIKE IN ZELDA LOL!?!) so if you die to automatically come back to life with full health/mana ink if you have enough food in the bottle. i.e. if you have a fairy in the bottle (which is really easy to get) you never get a game over. ever.

Wont deny the fact that its easy as hell, but its sure worth my 34.99 ;3

**Caocao** · 2006-10-03 16:35

Yeah, it's easy, and I won't deny that it borrows a lot from Zelda. I still say I like it better than Zelda. I'll admit I wasn't the biggest fan of the N64 Zeldas, but I loved the 2D ones and WW. Okami may rip off Zelda in parts, but it's got so much personality, I prefer the "knock off" to the original. Okami just makes me feel so happy when I play it. Hard to describe.

I'm not trying to argue one's better than the other. We both agree both series are great. This is the reason they have menus in restaurants!

Okami looks awsome, i will def check it out. i love anything cell shaded, its just so cool!

I was trying to study while my friend was playing OOT today, and I wanted to KILL him because he didn't know where to go, or what to do, and I could just glance at the screen and be like "wow you fucking retard go through that door, kill the boss, run back, go to the other door," etc., uuugghh it was so frustrating!

I think it'd be EXTREMELY frustrating to watch someone else play Okami and get the brush strokes wrong over and over.

Clover also made God Hand which is coming out soon for PS2, i've played the JP version and...it's hard as hell even on easy.

but God Hand is pretty much a 1-time play through only. but it's so funny too =/ i have mixed feelings about it

So I played it for the first time last night, and omg it was incredible. I just was running around the whole river of the heavens for a while just to admire the beauty of this game, it really is breathtaking.
The combat seems kind of easy but is very fun, and is definitely not just a button masher onry. I didn't even try and kill the things w/o the Celestial Brush thing.
That damn minigame in Komiki Village when you try and dig up the plants is kind of hard, I at first did not realize there was a time limit, and would just wait for the lady to go back each time, but it is tough to dig up the turnips w/o her pwning you, I have only gotten to 6 so far. I hope the reward for it is good. All in all this game just fucking owns, though Issun is like Navi on crack as far as annoyingness goes, she needs to gtfo.

**Pro** · 2006-10-04 11:28

You only get praise iirc.

Po · 2006-10-04 11:52

<.< that's stupid. That's like when I did the time trial for killing those monsters and only got praise. He had a little bottle symbol over his head so I thought he might've given me a bottle to put something in, but just the damn praise lol.

**Raineer** · 2006-10-04 12:02

You all have me too excited about this game, i'm modding my PS2 just for this and FFXII, already downloaded and ready to go. better be worth it!

**Mysterio** · 2006-10-04 20:57

Thats great that you enjoy this game Belle.

Now can you post some more pics of yourself please? lol

We saw the where's waldo ones in the "thats gotta hurt thread", but we need more!

**Elcura** · 2006-10-05 02:34

Oooh, I saw a trailer for God Hand, looks great to me >.> even if it's 1 playthrough I'll probably buy it

**Stilgar** · 2006-10-05 10:25

Dog...dog...dog...dog....

Isn't it a game about a wolf? I haven't paid too much attention to it, I admit, but okami means wolf in Japanese.

Though IIRC the kanji used on the box art is 'big god' lol

it's a play on words

Okami = Wolf

Ookami = Great Deity

Po · 2006-10-05 11:23

Yea it's a wolf, but I just called it a dog.

no gtfo this thread.

Po - I'm so glad you got it and like it! Digging gets easier as you get used to it, and there are several times in the game where you HAVE to dig to progresss further in the story, but it's like a really fun minigame so it's cool. Praise is what you use to upgrade your health, ink, "bottle" amount, or purse size. It's pretty useful, especially at the beginning for the extra health, but it becomes alot easier to come by at the end of the game.

If you have any questions about the game let me know I'd love to help you out!

I finally REALLY REALLY beat the game yesterday. I got all 100 beads, which makes an already easy game laughable. It makes you invincible, unlimited ink, and Attackx10 power. It's fucking ridiculous.

I also got all 9 karmic transformers, which is SOOOOOOOO cool. It lets you change Amaterasu into different types of dogs.

Po · 2006-10-05 14:05

Did you find all the beads on your own? Or did you use a guide? If you found them all I would say that is damn impressive. I have 2 so far heh

Also, not sure if you will remember, but in that starting town, behind Susano's (lol) house are these 2 Islands. 1 has a treasure chest on it. I swim Ammy over there and can make it to the Island, but it is raised up so I can't make it on. Is there anyway to get up there yet? Or do I have to come back later Belle? Thanks!

**Helpoemer** · 2006-10-05 15:22

go back there later when you have learned the Lily Pad brush thing
