Why did this game fail?
>>343832360
nobody knew it existed
>>343832360
Too japanese.
Americans are afraid of other countries cultures.
>>343832778
This
>>343832360
First game in a new series, and not a launch title
#1 zero marketing showing the gameplay showing it's similar to OOT
#2 the cover sucked
#3 it looked like shit on PS2
YYYOOOO
>>343832360
No marketing. Was critically acclaimed but it was no call of duty.
It also came out at a really bad time. It wasn't COD and it came out for a non-nintendo console initially.
The Wii version was the definitive version but it was too late by then, and once again had zero marketing
>>343832778
Price of Persia, Ninja Gaiden, hell God of war deals with Greek culture as much as Okami has to do with Shinto.
>>343832778
>>343832912
It deals with art, not culture. It's not too Japanese at all.
no marketting
the people that did know about it didn't know what the game was
it came out at the end of the PS2's life and was quickly forgotten about
>>343833079
>#3 it looked like shit on PS2
It's so hard to believe this. going back to the ps2 or wii version is fucking impossible after playing it on PS3. the PS3 version looks like fucking magic.
People can't relate to non-talking, non-humanoid animals
>>343832778
the game sold better in america than japan, actually
it was said that, in japan, sold like 66k copies, while in america it was like 200k
>>343833458
The PS3 version looks worse than the Wii version emulated though.
But yeah I remember renting Okami on PS2 and I thought it was absolutely disgusting looking and it had severe performance issues.
>>343833476
Ammy is literally a blank slate, you relate to Issun.
It's pretty but boring.
It was really insulting when Shinji Mikami basically said the game failed because it was too complex for westerners. When the combat was so easy and mashy, the puzzles are all basic and it has enough handholding that not even Skyward Sword years later could beat it.
>>343832360
>stupid story that takes a shit on japanese mythology
>retarded sense if humor
>unberable character "voices"
>lame, easy as fuck combat
>shit soundtrack
>>343832360
Zero marketing and everyone was fucking around with Twilight Princess.
Also, playing as a dog with a brush sounds lame for most people.
>>343833687
It came out before TP.
>Also, playing as a dog with a brush sounds lame for most people.
No. Everyone who plays it likes that interactivity.
The game failed because nobody played it. Or knew about it.
>>343833663
>shit soundtrack
You take that back, nigger

>Ammy is literally a blank slate
>when she gets bored to death when Waka talks
>when she gets offended when Mr Orange sais he doesn't seem very smart
>when she has the attention spawn of a 5 year old child
That fucking stupid music that played every time I tried to draw a fucking circle REEEEE
>>343834048
*she doesn't seems
>>343834048
>in a 60 hour game ammy emotes under ten times
Sorry she's *almost* a blank state that we're totally meant to relate to.
>>343833782
By fucking around with TP I mean overhyping the game, trolling and other shit, people followed TP news for two years and a half, remember?
>>343833663
>>easy as fuck combat
This is the only thing you have even remotely right.
>>343832360
to be fair that game was ok
>>343834326
nigger, the game it's, at best, 35 hours with all the breads
and besides, that's the most noticeable moments in the game. Ammy takes the lead in things without waiting for any Issun's order. Even in the last hour of the game, you can see more than 10 emotions she make between she enters in the ark and the game ends, missing Issun like 3 times, when everyone prays for her, in the battle, and when they depart
Just because she doesn't have a voice and she doesn't overexplain all the shit that happens doesn't make her "blank state"
>>343834426
I never did visit Zelda hype threads because so many people post in them it's pretty much pointless to talk about the game. I liked the aftermath threads though.
>>343832360
It getting more popular in japan lately. Keep seeing people playing it on nicolive.
>>343834878
really?
>>343833557
japan's also roughly the size of rhode island
>>343834805
Not even close. Stop reading guides and rushing through games.
https://howlongtobeat.com/game.php?id=6725
>>343835026
I honestly remember it me taking like 60+ hours and I in no way did everything in it.
>>343833557
>>343834928
Can't actually confirm with numbers, but based from what i see, yes.
Is Okami good? I see it's on sale.
>>343835026
... you know, my bad. It was Twilight Princess that took me 35
Now I remember, it took me like 55 hours
>>343834326
What's all this ghosting
>>343833326
> ancient Greek culture
> foreign
You're the worst kind of retard, aren't you?
>>343835310
Enabling the rice filter also enables ghosting.
>>343833290
>The Wii version was the definitive version
>the version where they cut the entire credits reel just because Clover's logo was in it
Fuck no
>>343835202
>ページが見つかりませんでした。
Fuck. There goes away my source then
Wasn't shilled as nintendo game.
so can I use saplings in combos
>>343835469
oh no they cut the names in the credits no one gives a shit about
>>343835236
it's kinda like Zelda, but way lamer.
>>343835026
for me, i finished with 35 and wasn't rushing that much
>>343835590
stupid nigger
>>343835592
yea, but it was really different in terms of aesthetics, dungeons sucks a lot though
>>343835236
Yes.
This game was so frigging long and had tons of bonus content, I can't remember the last time I played a game that felt this complete.
>>343832360
Due to its art style, everyone was and still are graphics whores.
>>343835469
the PS3 has the credits but without the logo, so i dunno if it's the real reason
The real shame is cutting the original credits song, Reset, from all the non-PS2 versions
Ain't nobody want to be a bitch
>>343835985
yea, lots of content and stuff but why the fuck to people think that the game would end at Orochi?
you only had like 7 of 13 abilities at that point so of course it wasn't over
Is Okamiden any good?
>>343836232
It's fine knowing the DS limitations
>>343833326
it's the point of origin that matters not the context
>>343836579
not him, but what do you mean?
>>343836232
Yes, kinda.
It's not a bad game, but it's much more focused on puzzles/the partner mechanic than exploration and visual style. It's limited in creative areas to visit because ds, so don't expect stuff like shrinking and running around the emporers courtyard. I enjoyed it, but I haven't gone back to replay it 4 times like I have with okami.
There are some ridiculous time travel shenanigans near the end that expand on some of the events in okami, but other than that the story is a direct sequel.
>>343835223
Fucking e-celebs.
>>343835469
>>343836036
The credits sequence and its music had some regional licensing issues. IIRC for the west the entire thing was changed for the Wii release, but the Japanese Wii version only removed the Clover logo. The PS3 version plays the original song if your system language is set to Japanese
>>343836808
People are more receptive towards the things he described because greek/Roman mythology and middle eastern flare are acceptable foreign. They're respectable to normies.
It's specifically because it's japanese and would repel people because of it despite the only japanese influence being the art style and mythology behind it.
Double standard due to weeaboos.
>>343837208
yeah, i understand now and it makes sense
>>343833326
>>343837208
America takes tons of influence from Greek and Roman culture. Hence many of the government building designs and the government framework being heavily based on Roman republic.
>>343832360
Also, no oficial spanish translation.
>>343832360
Who the fuck cares?
It failed 10 years ago, it is now considered a classic.
>>343833079
>#3 it looked like shit on PS2
Did you play with the composite cables or something?
>>343837592
Foreign:
of, from, in, or characteristic of a country or language other than one's own.
Influencing modern western society doesn't make it less foreign
>>343837208
>sells more over it's multiple iterations in the west than it's home country
>blah, blah, double standards, bullshit, weebs, buzzwords
Even over the internet, I can smell your bullshit.

Are you high?

Another chap with a broken PS2 using composite cables.
>>343834326
Amy has more personality than Link.
>>343837918
Except Greek and Roman influence it was already ingrained heavily in western culture like around the time of the 'renaissance'. And even before then, there are all sorts of people that wanted to recreate Rome.
>>343837958
the west is how many time larger than japan again?
>>343838127

>>343832360

Combat is bad

No.

>>343840865
He's not wrong. Actually I wouldn't say the combat was bad, just way too easy.
>>343832360
i didnt enjoy the combat, story or artstyle. i realize im in the minority.
>>343841670
Compare the cliff. It's just a bit blurry because it's only 1080p.
>>343841491
right looks better
also playing with DS3 > suffering with motion controls
>>343840927
I want to snuggle against Ammy's butt.

This has potential.
>>343842014
You know it's the original PS2 textures upscaled, right?
On the left, they look pixelated. On the right, they're a bit blurry.
Pick your poison, but you can only pick poison.Or emulate on PCSX2, it's freaking perfect.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qfwIw85PgY
>>343842052
There's no suffering though, motion control drawing is objectively better than not and the combat was done very well and you can press buttons for it if you want.
>>343842329
They redrew the textures for Okami HD but they didn't have them at a high resolution or something because they barely look any better.
pcsx2 has a lot of issues, it's inherently blurry and has ghosting if you enable the rice filter.
>>343840927
>MOMalso an idea for a thread
>>343842695
Just play it without the rice filter
>being a console kiddie
LOL You probably can't even emulate SNES games
>>343842695
The Okami Rice Filter is a godfather to my future children, I will not trade it for anything.
>>343832778
>>343837208
That's stupid though. Westerners fucking love Japan. They've romanticized it more than anywhere else on Earth since the 19th century. Sushi, samurai, Godzilla, bonsai, geisha, ninjas, all that stupid shit. Even if the average Westerner only appreciates a watered-down theme-park version of Japanese culture, they still appreciate it far more than anywhere else in Asia. Japanese themes and settings are used everywhere in popular media, and Anglos consume more media from Japan than they do even from other Western countries like France or Germany.
Try making a game about Mayan or Indian mythology, then you'll get something Westerners will reject.
>>343842695
>motion control drawing is objectively better than not and the combat was done very well and you can press buttons for it if you want
My sister gave up on the Wii version cause it would not register brush techniques 99% of the time. So, the original version is still being played, and the Wii port is collecting dust.
>>343843453
It looks worse without the filter and it's super blurry.
>>being a console kiddie
What?
>>343843460
Yeah so you have ghosting and blur. It's fine but Wii looks way better.
>>343843667
She has autism. It worked for me 100% of the time.
>>343843941
You and your shiitmote both had autism, so you understood each other.
>>343843941
Everytime someone talks about emulation you got console purists getting all salty over "nuh uh the original is better because so and so not arguments."
PS3 version not only looks blurrier, the pcsx2 looks waaay clearer and the colors are brighter
Sword primary and sword secondary is objectively the best weapon combo right?
>>343844093
That must be the good kind of autism like Einstein then. I knew I was a genius.
>>343844210
The PS2 version is blurry as fuck, here's a perfect example. The rice filter makes it less blurry kind of(it's still very blurry) but then you have ghosting issues.
4k and very blurry.
>>343842329i like this album more
>>343844210
I am a "purist", and I think, sans the filter, the PS3 version is perfect.
Clover Studio died too soon. Their games were so fucking good
>>343844575
Don't worry we have platinum games :^)
>>343844260
No, beads as secondary allows you to SHOOT PEOPLE, and sword allows chargeable attacks.
>>343844497
I like THIS album more.
Anyone who says the PS3 version isn't the best is lying to themselves.
>>343838407still right
>>343844710
i really like that album too but THIS album has my favorite song
>>343844879
>no English physical release
>can't play it anymore once Sony gets tired of losing money on PS3's PSN
>>343844879
Graphically it isn't since emulators exist.
We all agree thatSakuyais best girl, right?
>>343845170

It's not the best. It's close to perfect, but isn't.

>>343845602
i had to draw this
>>343835592
I disagree. I don't think it was way lamer at all. It's one of my favorite games of all time. Worth a play.
>>343846617
enjoy your ban
>>343846617
It's good, but you can't seriously tell me you drew that in less than 10 minutes.>anthro
I'll say my reason
It starts with a 15 minutes unskippable cutscene.
Back in the day i used to buy games in a small videogame store, where i would play the game first. I tried Okami, waiting to see how it plays, but then i was stuck for 15 minutes just trying to read stuff, as my english was quite bad at the times.
I never played it again for 9 years until last year when i finished it.
I could enjoy it more now that i can actually read whats happening, but whenever i think of playing it again i remember the fucking cutscene and the super slow start overall and just give up.
Charming game though
>>343846617
>can't find anything on Google or iqdb
Did you draw this just now?Do you have more?
>>343847048
It also has a lot of padding, post Orochi is very slow and boring. Cut the dialogue and you have a 15 hour game

>Dolphin
?
>>343833290
>waggle the remote and the nunchuk for basic combat
>The stick drawing on ps2 was perfectly functional and fast making the slight improvement in precision for drawing with the remote when the game is frozen anyway not at all worth butchering the combat
>>343849659
PS2, or if you can't do that, PCSX2
>>343849659
All ways are good.
PS3 version for trophy support.
>>343849137
Not digitigrade at all, you're just seeing what you want to see.
>>343849659
If you want /v/ to decide for you, you are a turbo ultra faggalo.
>>343849984
Looks like a hybridization between plantigrade and digitigrade to me, not fully one or the other
