Well I'm not questioning your motives or anything, I don't doubt that you aren't enjoying it as much as you hoped to. But I still think that your reception of the game is the exception rather than the rule. I especially disagree with how harsh you are on the attack. Like I said they could have mapped it to a button, and it would alleviate the problems for those who don't like it. At 10 hours in though, I think I likely would've used the motion control anyways. Honestly neither method is perfect in my eyes.
I will say your picture does make the game look blurry and if its worse than that in person then I think there is something wrong with the settings. |
You're taking this too personal. Storyline isn't a big deal in a videogame. Gameplay is what matters. If you love the gameplay then the story is non consequential. So I can look the other way when there are story issues.
My TV is super sharp. If you placed an LCD beside my TV you'd not be happy at all with it's color or sharpness etc. of the LCD. I've flicked the option from LCD to CRT and back to LCD and noticed no change in what I saw on my screen. It really is blurrier than what you see due to this shimmiery effect that a single shot can't pick up.
I currently have the Wii set to 480P and I tested out both the widescreen and non widescreen option for the game. Both look too blurry for my eyes. It hurts my eyes to look at the screen. I haven't tried the 480i option yet but why should I have to resort to playing in 480i?
There are no other options in the game to fix this problem. The issue is not with the TV as other games look fantastic on it.
As for the Wiimote flick for the attack. I never said I hated flicking the Wiimote to attack. I loved it in Zelda Twilight Princess (because it worked). In Okami it requires you to stop moving, go in close on an enemy and then shake. That's not exactly very intuitive. I call it a deal breaker because it is. It should not have shipped this way. It was a simple thing to fix and they spent more time blurrying my screen up then they took to fix their attack method. This is the gameplay, the meat of the GAME. If the gameplay is busted then the game can't be recommended as the part I call fun (in a game) is not fun in this particular game (due again to the detection issue).
The original poster asked if this game is recommended. I am mearly giving my opinion which should not be disregarded. I gave factual problems I have with the game itself. These issues are not small by any means. If someone else out there has a TV similar to mine they will have the same problem with the very blurry picture quality.
If you want me to snap a comparison picture of Smash Brothers, Metroid Prime 3 or Zelda Twilight Princess etc. from my gameslist to show you how clear those games are on my TV I will be glad to do so.
