[PS2] Okami

I hope they have the OKAMI Kanji for the US box cover, however I highly doubt it, as it will be replaced simply with the romaji "OKAMI". I've heard lots of good things about VJ, but never got around to play it. Perhaps I should pick it up sometime since it's like $20 for each game. Not bad eh?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Okay, at least they still kept the Kanji. It does bring a very artistic appearance to the box, and perhaps lends to the brush stroke aspect, if I read correctly in Elixir's opening post.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Any idea if this bonus is only for the US preorders? I preordered this game, and well, as you can see, I'm Canadian.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well it comes out in like a week, right?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Sorry, I was looking at Inhert's sig and was thinking VP2.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I checked in today at EB Games. They said tomorrow, so okay then. ^__^

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

No special offers for me when I picked my pre-order up. Whatever.

How ya doing, buddy?

Looks like no one has posted much of game play.
I only have gotten up to the first save point. Well, that's gameplay for you.

How ya doing, buddy?

Me six, seven!

This game is beautiful. I'm personally not into the whole cel shaded thing, and never was, however I still find the gameplay very enjoyable. I'm 1 hour 15 minutes into the game.

A few questions (I haven't bothered going through the instruction book yet, yes I'm a dummy)

Spoiler:

Can you die from drowning in water?

Is there any really reason to use the physical attack on the baddies rather than just slice them up with the brush?

What happens if you bite a person? Do your praise points go down? I haven't tried yet.

Furthermore, whenever Issun orders me to draw something, I usually try to do it in the most whackiest way.

Spoiler:

For example, I drew the sun as a lopsided oval with jagged lines, but it still worked! I just do this to piss him off whenever

Also, for those of you who didn't know already, I have two powers so far, the sword slash and the sun power. For the sword slash, I love cutting up even the most mundane of things. Whenever you hear a funny "ploump" sound, it usually means that the fallen tree, rice stalk, or rock has dropped some valuable stuffs!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The "gibberish" actually worked for SOTC since Wanda and the Gods seemed to speak a very archaic sounding "forgotten" language, and the sounds weren't repeated over and over again, making it sound more realistic. Yes, the gibberish for Okami gets somewhat annoying, more so than the King of All Cosmos' rappin' track skills speak.

As for the length of gameplay,

Spoiler:

I hear it's 40-50 some hours. Damn, that's long, I think.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm still at the first town, LOL. ::haven't been playing much::

I was bored

This reminds me of Mononoke Hime and the Deer God. BRINGER OF LIFE AND DEATH.

I'm up to the Hana Valley, or whatever it's called now. Dangerous Business.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Can your own cherry bombs hurt you?

What's with the 100,000 yen skill at the dojo? Has anyone got this much money to buy that skill? I hear you just bark and get fangs, okay. Not too sure if it's worth 599 US dollars. =/

I have 4 brush stroke skills and 2 special tecniques - the 4 wind slash and the fleetfoot. I'm on the monster hunt with the Moon Shrine.

FELIPE NO

Anyone actually like the henohenomoheji's?

By that I mean this:



A mnemonic drawn by Japanese school children to remember their kana.

I just thought it was funny, and instantly recognized it amongst the towns people.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

So, does this game remind anyone of Mononoke Hime yet? No seriously. I really mean this.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It seems to change from green to yellow to red, but I have no clue what the effect is

Same, I don't have much of a clue and still trying to figure it out.

Holy shit, I like the game, but the max I've played is a 3 hour stretch. I'd hate to say it, but it somewhat saddens me the VP2 is coming out in 3 days, therefore I won't be able to focus my attention to just this anymore. Then a month away to FFXII.

Notice my lack of posts since September 27th? Damned VP2 stealing my time. At any rate I did pick up the walkthrough guide. I don't know if I'll need it but from what I read so far in this thread, there's a hell load of little bits of information and things to collect, so I thought mind as well.

After taking like a month long break from Okami, devoting my time soley to VP2, I'm back with Okami. Albeit only for tonight, it'll start to collect dust again until FFXII is beaten. I'm glad I'm not a video game.

How ya doing, buddy?
