No okami failed because the gameplay wasn't interesting enough for most gamers

For a moment I got excited because I thought that Rock_On_2008 is back. Then I saw that it's just you.

This felt like getting invited to early access for Mario Kart 8 only to see that what actually got offered is ModNation Racers.

you wouldn't complain if it was trackmania

white vs black, good vs bad, god vs devil. but if you want racism you will find it anywhere because ANCIENT ALIENS. see my post now makes as much sense as the topic.

Okami was my first PS2 game in 2011, I played it on PC but after that no other PS2 game worked well on emulator so I went and bought a black PS2 because my girlfriend is afro american.

There were tits in Okami, but they weren't that big!


Look big enough. But probably not nearly frequent enough.

True. The "busty babe" ( that's her nickname in Okami! No joking!) didn't get the attention and love she deserved!

I guess you missed RE1 where the black guy dies first


That sounds a little racist.  What do you mean by that?

Never mind, I think I follow you.

It flopped because it was bad. I still like you Montana.

Those sales seem about right for a Zelda game without Link.


It's too bad, because it's the best zelda game ever made.

Lol, I never thought that the game could be considered racist, but it has some sexist jokes.

I wouldn't call 1.33 million a flop.
