No Switch to play Zelda on? Buy Okami instead.

It feels and plays nothing like Zelda.

It's not called the best zelda game for no reason.

>>376710135
It did to me. There are quirky characters, smooth gameplay, and there is even a temple in the forrest that was very Zelda style (minus the puzzles) Especially the boss reminded me a lot of Zelda

>>376710165
It's called the best Zelda game because salty niggers couldn't play it

Seriously how do you make a game easier than Zelda?

It's fucking trash. It has a longer intro section than TP and it also has more fetchquests than SS. If it were a Zelda game it would be as hated as SS.

>>376710225
What does a game's difficulty has to do with anything?

>>376710253
>It has a longer intro section than TP

That is true. A lot of slow cutscenes as well, but it's comfy and I don't mind

>>376710281
It has everything to do with tedium. Okami, like SS, is a tedious game

>>376710253
Name at least ten fetch quests in Okami.

>>376710560
you are completely wrong. this game is about being fun, not everything has to be hard, especially not when it's aimed towards children. As is Zelda btw... and don't you tell me any of the Zelda games are chalenging lmao

Okami is the best Zelda game.

>>376710253
>It has a longer intro section than TP
That is better than the entire game that is TP.

Okami is proof that the 3D "zelda formula" is a losing one and that 3D Zelda prior to BotW only sold on name brand alone.

>>376710840
It's proof that the west is racist actually. Everyone looked at the box art and did a 180 back then, even though most video game fans like the inside.

It's like saying Leisure Suit Larry sold poorly because people aren't perverts.

>>376710813
Nothing in Okami compares to City in the Sky or even Lakebed Temple.

I just lost all interest around the same time the game gives you that vine drawing power. It just wasn't any fun to me.

But then, I felt the same way about 3D Zeldas too.

>>376710981
You didn't name any yet. I'm still waiting.

>>376711107
Oh it's a Kamiya game? It gets better and better. I just bought it becasue I saw it when it came ot years ago but couldnt afford a playstation. I know literally nothing about it

okami is better than TP and SS. It's on par with Wind Waker in quality

This game needs a PC version at 60fps. Too bad Capcom are retarded. Also it needs difficulty levels.

>>376711296
>It's on par with Wind Waker in quality

Ouch, that's just mean to say.

>>376711296
Except that it's bigger, better, has more content, looks better, sounds better, and is longer?

WW isn't anywhere close.

>>376710083
Yeah, except not shit.
The only flaw in Okami is the low difficulty. To be more precise, the lack of hard mode
I do realize why they made it this way, but optional challenge for non-casual players would be cool

Back when it first came out on PS2 I picked it up since /v/ said it was so good and was practically Zelda. Played until the first village, saved and stopped playing. Never picked it up again.

>>376710083
Don't insult okami by comparing it to wind waker. Wind walker was one of the worst looking cell shaded games during that gen. Sailing a monochromatic sea under a monochromatic sky was a whole lot of blue. Okami actually looked like art

>>376710135
Except for maybe BOTW (haven't played it), it's the best Zelda game since Majora's Mask.

>>376711357
>optional challenge
Well, there are those marathon arena challenges, time attacks etc. Honestly I just couldn't bring myself to do those after 80+ hours.

And with that you've completely discredited yourself. Feeding animals is merely an optional thing to gain some more faith. That's like calling collecting rupees scattered around the world in Zelda fetch quests.

I've said since I played it that this is my favorite Zelda game. I see people complain that it's too long, but I didn't feel that way at all.
Honestly I loved the cel shaded painterly style, I enjoyed the combat, the characters were quirky and fun, the only thing I didn't like is the voice they give the flea.
Also whip best weapon.

Ive never found a zelda game I enjoyed and when I played Okami I thought it was definitely among the best ps2 games made. The visuals and the sounds were all fantastic. Absolutely lovely game.

Only fault with the game is the difficulty but I find juggling blossom rankings and demon fangs gives the combat a touch of thought.

Not just PS2, it's one of the best games.

Here's the most important question: Sakuya or Rao?

kek Okami cucks getting triggered ITT. People bitched about the handholding in Skyward Sword but in Okami it's even worse. I agree with the guy that said that if this was called The Legend of Zelda: Okami, it would be the most hated game in the series. The brush gets repetitive fast and the combat is even more barebones than in the average 3D zelda. The only reason it gets praise is because it's niche as fuck and was made by clover therefore autistic weebs like it.

>>376712063
Waka. Duh

welp, didnt realize thsi would start off such a discussion. Anyways, Okami is just the kind of game that helps me unwind after a long workday.

Just emulate it. Thats what I did. shit is in 'HD' that way as well.

>>376710083
I don't think Okami has the same appeal as Zelda.
Zelda shines in level design, pacing and general level of polish, and all those elements are very lackluster in Okami in comparison.
On the other hand, Okami has its visual style, great amount of content and its genuine uniqueness, and those are what make it a classic

>>376712420
Not if you're emulating the PS2 version.
In visuals:
Dolphin >>>>>>> PS3 > PCSX2 > Wii > PS2

They don't make games like Okami anymore. Absolutely beautiful game, just try to listen to this without something stirring inside.

>>376712420
Emulating the PS2 version does not look as good, and the Wii controls are G A R B A G E. I say that as a Wiimote apologist.

>>376712514
>They don't make games like Okami anymore. Absolutely beautiful game, just try to listen to this without something stirring inside.
Muramasa.

>>376712583
Muramasa is generic copy paste Vanillaware shit with basic as fuck gameplay.

>>376712514
They didn't make games like Okami before it either.
I don't think it's a masterpiece or as good as 3D Zelda games, but it certainly is one-of-a-kind

>>376711483
It's not though. The pacing is fucked, the dungeons are strictly worse, and it recycles more boss fights than any other Zelda game, Skyward Sword debatable. It does combat better than some, but worse than others, and the game does its best to solve every puzzle or sidequest you get as soon as you get it or step into the room. Issun is also a far worse companion than any Zelda analogue, somehow managing to be even more intrusive than Fi was.

Okami's a fine game, but it hardly beats even the worst Zelda games at anything.

>>376712420
I've been playing it on pcsx2 and it runs beautifully on my computer, but it doesn't have the paper filter on it. It's "on" but it's not visible (unless I run in software mode)

>long ass intro that takes like 5 hours to end

Worst pacing ever. The game is incredibly flawed and doesn't get too much criticism because nobody gives a fuck about it.

This doesn't even make sense. It had the best waggle controls.

Enable partial CRC.

It's 30fps with drops and while internally it's 1080p, it only outputs around 720p.

>>376712804
I'm playing it on ps3 and I think circles might be easier to draw with the wii remote. In general the drawing is not that easy with a ps3 controller

>>376712804
I was waggling as hard as I could and Amaterasu was barely moving. I tried everything.
The pointer is also stupid sensitive.

Yeah it's infinitely faster to draw with the wiimote. I wouldn't even use a mouse over it if it came to PC, I had such a good time on the Wii.

That's not a compliment especially with the dragged on ending

About as equal as SS

Not compared to TP

Wrong. I would rather have a hookshot than draw shapes.
>better sound design
Debatable
>more replayability
Not with the pacing. 2D zeldas are infinitely more replayable.

Seriously okamifags are deluded. You game is on par with TP, slightly better than SS. The rest of the zeldas are miles ahead.

>>376711423
>phoneposter
yeah we already knew you had a short attention span

>>376713526
A lot of those points are debatable. Better writing is a null point when the pacing is so bad, and it doesn't beat a lot of Zelda games' playtimes either. Better graphics/minigames/sound design are mostly subjective or strictly false in some cases, and replayability is (again) subjective. I've replayed every Zelda game at least once, but if I had to go back to Okami I'd just skip to the final boss and watch the finale again since most everything leading up to it feels like such a chore.

Why does it have to be one or the other.
I enjoyed both Okamis and all the Zeldas, i love the adventure genre.
They are all great games after all.

>>376711503
Retard, it's literally just like cutting grass in Zelda for rupees. Do you actually know what a fetchquest is or do you think it's a fun buzzword to throw at games you don't like?

Buddy I have an entire folder dedicated to Platinum/Clover reaction images. I fucking loved Bayonetta, God Hand, even W101. If anything I'm a drone for Platinum, but people like you who say Okami is a "better Zelda" are fucking retarded. Like everyone with a brain has been saying, it takes the worst elements of Zelda and does nothing to polish them in return. Unless you just REALLY like the setting, or think a Zelda game needed Bayo-lite combat, it doesn't have much that sets it ahead of Zelda.

>>376711718
>buttblast

Let's face it, the only reason anyone would actually prefer Okami to Zelda in general is that they're too stupid to understand Zelda and need something with constant landholding and 'exotic' visuals to maintain their attention despite the game's dearth of substance. That's why Zeldafags are right to disregard the opinions of anyone who claims Okami is better than the series, as people who hold that clearly are just going to be a negative influence on the direction the series might take, potentially holding it back from doing more of actual substance.

>>376713526

I love Okami for its art direction, but the fanboys trying to say it's a good game are delusional. The pacing is horrid.
