I beat orochi in okami hd and ive seen a lot of people recommend i quit now like theres another 20 hrs of gameplay that is bad? Is that true? I liked it so far

It's a really long game and doesn't throw a ton of new things into the game but I've 100% it like 3 or 4 times so I think it's worth finishing.

Gaming is both an activity ("I play games") and an identity ("I am a gamer"). Once it's an identity it's vulnerable to tribalism and gatekeeping the way any other identity is.

I suppose! But even as someone who was super into online gaming communities I never understood having a weird True Gamer mindset when it seemed pretty obvious that the majority of popular, praised, and influential games tended to be those which successfully made themselves more accessible and playable than their contemporaries and predecessors.

It's the same mindset as the "I liked x before it was cool" thing, combined with people who lack a feeling of identity and community creating an arbitrary one. They feel something must be exclusionary to be an identity.

The whole thing about "fake gamer girls" I still don't get, beyond just basic misogyny, but maybe that's all there is to it.

The rest of Okami is like the first part of Okami. It's not bad but everything up to Orochi could've been its own game and now it just keeps going and going and going

Phil Fish was a good game creator that said stupid things and gamers got mad but like to a stupid degree like they tend to and eventually he got sick of being told to kill himself every time he posted anything, so he dropped out of making games and posting online and then people got mad at him for that.

actually he was lame and despite his enormous amounts of fart huffing his game was nothing special im glad hes gone

All of Okami is extremely good.

The second area is my favorite part, with the best city, some cool smaller stuff, and it leads up to a really good big dungeon. The last part is worth it too, it's pretty short but meaty and the final boss is incredible.

The PS2 version of Okami had you attack by pressing a face button. One of the weapons distinguishes holding down the button and mashing it. Nothing strange here so far.

The Wii version, the one I played, replaced the attack button with "shake the controller" as so many games of that era did. Now suddenly you have to try to distinguish holding shake and mashing shake

if you're going to be an rear end in a top hat, imo you should at least have the talent to back it up. fez was a better game than all of blow's put together

Fez was cool and good. Phil Fish was an unpleasant guy but he wasn't a literal white/male supremacist or whatever so he'd be in the top 50% of twitter if he was still active today.

The opening 2 hours is good but the open world is very progress gated behind repetitive tasks. 12 doesnt sound too bad

It's a worldwide cultural thing ie "women only like x thing that's usually aimed at men because they want attention" mixed with gamers own brand of bigotry and white boi anger encouraged by over two decades of advertising among other things.
