Okami is the best video game

Dragon's Dogma.
Of course, /v/ never universally loves anything. This was back when the Master Race was saying they didn't want some dumb, empty, generic rpg.

>>324317069
What would a western version be? The Virgin Mary reincarnated as a lion running around grimms fairy tails and aesop's fables?

Dark Souls.
Started playing on the pc to see what was going on with all the threads.

Ghost Trick is the one and only answer.

Okami, the STALKER trilogy, TERA online (back when it was released)

>>324319009
But then on the other hand you fags lied to me and told me that God Hand was actually good. I continue to distrust /v/ for that reason

>>324317069
>Fucking zeldafags call this another zelda

it took a few tries to get into, but god hand
literally the acquired taste of video games
and even though i didn't play it because of /v/ - but when i first played the yakuza series i was blown away. was NOT expecting that.
same with ace combat, holy shit
and front mission too. all these semi-niche japanese games - to me at least - really are the paragons of the medium

>>324317069
Odin's Sphere

>>324319190
As a Zelda fag, Okami is way too weak and underwhelming to be 'another Zelda'.

>>324319190
And what's wrong with that? Okami is Zelda as fuck. It's also better than most Zelda games imo, and I'm a huge fan of those games.

I could gush about this game so much, but it's just overall a relaxing and well thought out game.

It looks like shit, gameplay videos look wonky, the story sucks, and it got bad reviews from pretty much everyone.

Yet against all odds it's one of the best action games of all time. And it's completely unexplainable.

I have two copies of this game and i never beat it. I always get bored after Orochi and quit.

>>324319306
Yeah except for the fact that it blows pretty much every Zelda game away in every aspect.

>>324319306
Zelda's been nothing but weak and underwhelming since TP.

>>324319306
lol no

It blows every LoZ game post WW out of the water.

>>324317069
I picked up Okami, hated it, and finally relized that that /v/ was fucking retarded.
played it again a year later, pushed through farther than I got originally, and fucking loved it and it quickly became my favorite game.

>>324319306
>>324319389
okay you homosexuals I bought Phantom Hourglass Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time and I just ended up getting bored on all 3 times Link and Zelda are simply uninteresting

>>324319464
It is shit, absolute waste of money. I feel like it's the biggest practical joke of /v/'s time and I fell for it

>>324319545
Every 3d zelda game is pretty weak and underwhelming honestly.

>>324319486
You missed out, anon. Act 2 is the best part of the game. You probably just went into the Orochi fight thinking it was the end of the game, which is understandable. But it gets even better from there.

>>324319643
>PH
>TP

I found your problem

>OoT

You just have shit tier taste in video games if you can't appreciate OoT.

I love okami but my biggest gripe that especially for a Kamiya game it is piss easy. They're are way too many healing and shielding items that you probably never use anyway and boss fights except for the last one are complete jokes. Plus PS version's paintbrush is too slow

Pandora's Tower was so good.

>>324319957
OoT is only "good," or rather, OoT can only be appreciated when viewed from the point of view of its time.

It blew people away when it was released because 3D was still relatively new. Someone playing it now for the first time, especially if they had played later Zelda's, would probably be underwhelmed by it.

>>324319957
>>324320360
Yeah it's not a bad game but it's not that good either.

>>324319957
So just because I'm not a nostalgiafag that played OoT in my youth I have shit taste in video games
it aged like milk
I didn't play it when I was young so I have no emotional attachment to the game like how the rest of you homos do

>>324319962
I agree. The complete lack of any challenge whatsoever is my only huge issue with the game. Apart from fucking Blockheads, at least.

>>324320360
>>324320438
Idiots getting underwhelmed by OoT are the same kind of retards that bash Tolkien for being generic elvesdwarvesorcs fantasy.

>>324319487
How? What does it actually do better? I have never heard a straight answer to this question from any of its fans.

>>324320558
You are still young you underage shit.

>>324320360
Anyone who can't appreciate video games for their time is a huge pleb.

You are right though.

>>324319652
You're just a fag who needs to git gud.

I fucking wish anon
I had my first video game experience with a fucking Game Boy when I was 8
never had any income until much later and even then I never got 200 dollar systems from my parents like how you fags got when you were kids

>>324319306
I've never been able to complete a zelda game without dropping it out of boredom. WW was the farthest, I got to the triforce dungeons and havn't touched it in years.

Okami is one of my favorite games.

This has literally on happened to me with Lisa. I like a lot of the games that are well liked on /v/ but I didn't play them because of /v/.

>>324321281
It's probably just a bit more tedious because of how little damage you would be doing.

>>324317069
>/v/ universally loves Okami
when?
every time I see its name on /v/, they say it's overrated shit or something.
/v/ is the shittest taste shithole

>>324317069
For me, Saints Row 2 (on the PS3, cause I heard the PC port is terrible and I have a weak laptop), but it probably helped I had not very many expectations going into it. It was essentially everything I wanted a GTA game to be, but also actually fun to play and experience

>>324321657
At this point in time, /v/ is basically contrarian central. That's why jerry fits in so well here.

It used to be really well regarded, aside from the lack of difficulty.

>>324319986
so whats her problem? also I would

>>324317069
What version should I emulate?
PS2 or Wii?

>>324321657
I've never seen Okami hate on /v/.
I've seen people say they weren't really into it but I rarely see it bashed.

>>324321979
PS2 version emulates like shit.
Wii version has shitty motion controls so you need a real wiimote. But you can use your mouse as the brush at the same time.

>>324321979
PS3 HD ver. you faggot

>>324321979
Okami is perhaps the one game you shouldn't emulate.

PS2 version emulates like shit, like another anon said.

Wii version has wagglan and removes the rice paper filter. Considering the game is supposed to look like a moving sumi-e painting you're ruining the visual style by removing the paper filter.

I think the PS3 version is just like the PS2 version only in HD and at a constant 60 frames.

>>324322304
Wasn't that missing some things?

>>324322304
>ps3 emulation

>>324322524
I looked at a few screenshots and can't see any real difference between Wii and PS2

>>324321256
That's funny because Okami is slower and more repetitive than any Zelda game. It's got the longest intro and the most padding.

>>324322528
Just the staff credits roll with RESET.

>>324323241
Do you consider padding anything but dungeons?

I'm pretty sure every fetch quest ends up bringing you to new areas other than the dog one.

I want a game about Waka.
Cuhrayzee-style but with all sorts of fun abilities like playing different tunes on his flute for unique effects.

>>324317190
underrated post

>>324317069
I love Okami but that is probably the worst aged PS2 game
Its just so repetitive
I wouldn't ever replay it even with all the cool moments it has

>>324323673
Yes, and this is the key issue. Okami hands you a sequence of easy tasks to perform and tells you what to do every step of the way. It is mostly a bunch of empty fetch quests with stylised scenarios. Zelda allows you to explore and figure out things yourself way more often.

>>324324013
>all sorts of fun abilities like playing different tunes on his flute for unique effects

Yeah, I wonder what game could possibly allow you to do that.

None because only a sperg would listen to /v/.

Most annoying and intrusive companion character, too.

>>324324594
isn't piracy on the psp really easy?
you already bought the game, don't feel bad.

>>324321281
The only thing that could make the game difficult is not drawing anything unless it's absolutely necessary. The ability to STOP TIME and perform a myriad of instant-damage attacks trivializes every "hard" fight.

>>324324760
I'm a physical copy-fag. I'm sorry.
