This game is such a joy to play and is so charming and beautiful. It's like Zelda but you are a dog (and it's not Twilight Princess)! I only played the Wii version and had a lot of fun in spite of the lovely controls. I remember one of my roommates in college rented the PS2 version once and got burnt out on all the dialog in the opening scenes and just never got anywhere. There's so, so much of it holy poo poo.

Artix posted:Okami is a game that I feel like I really should like but actually hate, and it's almost entirely because of the sheer length of the thing. There's at least one (probably two) points where you could have just stopped and rolled the credits, and no one would have known anything was wrong, but it doesn't. It just keeps going and drags out what would be an incredibly good and charming 20-30 hour game into an 80 hour one that wore out its welcome 30 hours ago. I do remember it being insanely long for a game like this, yeah. I don't recall being too bothered by it though. EricFate posted:The only real problem I had dealt with one very specific timed puzzle and how infuriating it was to try to complete while using a Wii control. You'll know which one when you see it. I don't remember this either but I have a feeling it will come back to me when we get there.

Wait I think I know now what puzzle you guys are griping about. It'll be a while before we get there but goddamn I'm glad poorlywrittennovel's playing a not-Wii version. Edit: obligatory Ammy cosplay

So that black border thing is distinct from actual cel shading used in Wind Waker, Sly Cooper, Dark Cloud 2, etc? I always thought Okami looked different but I couldn't put my finger on how exactly

Anaxite posted:Wind Waker doesn't even seem to use borders on 3d models Phantom Ganon That said, I actually kind of like how the black borders disappear like in that gif you posted. It's hard to explain but it looks unnatural in just the right way to me. It probably looked much better on the lower resolution PS2. And I forgot to mention in the previous post but using that technique is just brilliant. It really gives it a unique look.

Yeah, the shields and rosaries are the easiest to use in the Wii version. I couldn't really get the third type down at all so I stuck with the beads.

Faerie Fortune posted:We are recording today which means I'm posting another image with no context Unfortunately googling "goat okami cosplay" didn't give any good results.  Edit: I'm only just getting around to watching the last video so I'll give Ty some peace of mind and tell him that the severity of the hobo spider bite is still pretty undetermined. There is only one case of necrosis after a verified hobo bite and that was in a person that had a skin condition that causes chronic lesions, so it's possible they were unrelated events. The problem with definitive statements about spider bites is that bites from most species are so astronomically rare that there isn't near enough evidence to make a conclusion.For what it's worth I spent six years of my life in your city and have never seen one despite being the kind of person that actively seeks out spiders
