I really wanted to love the game, wanted it on PS2 (avoided PS2 due to mem card problems), I eagerly pre-ordered it and talked others into doing the same. Now I feel a tad let down. It's not the great game that people had made it out to be. At least not for me. Maybe as I progress a bit further I might be able to look past it's flaws. The graphics look very beautiful color wise but no matter what they still make my eyes hurt from staring at them. Whatever effect they were going for could have been used in special circumstances but not throughout the game. I think poor judgment was used when it was decided to use this effect through the game. An option to turn the blurriness off would have gone a long way in my books. Keep it on for whomever wants it, option to turn it off for the rest. I have played Viewtiful Joe and Wind Waker, neither of these games have any blurring effect. Windwaker is still one of my favorite games graphically. The shake attack should have been shot down by ANY quality assurance testers Ready at Dawn used. This is completely unacceptable. Someones head should have rolled on that decision alone. The story is silly, it's not better then Zelda's, it's just lengthier. Zelda's story is always short and to the point. This is long and at points was uncomfortable to watch due to it's silliness. Wolf dies, wolf gets resurrected from statue which was an image of original wolf but no explanation of how a replica could become the original wolf (who died). Maybe this flies in Japan as normal. In the west it's not, this is one of many reasons why I find the story to be bad. I'll take short and to the point any day over silly bug going through some ladies dress and seeing a super close up shot of blurry drawn boobs storyline. Thanks for taking the time to explain some things to me about Okami. I just really wanted to like this game. There was a lot of controversy as to what was the better game back in 2006, this lead me to believe that this game was going to be as good if not better then Twilight Princess. As it stands, Twilight Princess is miles beyond Okami in every way (for me). I'm only near the beginning of the game so I'm going to keep playing and will hopefully be able to change my opinion the further I progress. As it stands, I can't recommend it to anyone. The faults outweigh the good. Hopefully I can come back at some point and tell everyone I was wrong. |
I don't know what to say other than I feel almost completely opposite to you on all of these issues. I don't think its blurry at all, I love the story and think its easily better than any recent zelda, etc...I will say I agree the shake attack could have been mapped to a button but as it is I don't think its nearly the problem you seem to.
I don't want to dismiss your concerns but I do think its fair to point out that you are in the minority here and that statistically speaking all great games are going to have some people who just don't get it/don't like it. Tastes are funny like that and as much as it is fair to say neither of us is right or wrong in our opinion I honestly think you are in the minority and in that regard I would hate for someone in the majority to miss out on the game because of your impressions.
