Anyways, I think the game looks fine, and I kinda like the puzzles, the game runs fine for me too, the only thing I found was that combat was WAAAAY more choppy from an animation perspective, which kinda does break the flow for me, other than that it's been a good game not as good as the original PS2 version mind you but still worth the purchase imo, I'm actually playing it right now. Makes me wonder if we even played the same game.
The thing that got me was the frequency of loading. It loads a new screen every 50 ft sometimes, so running across the first village took like 6 loads. I stopped playing after that. Too bad, too. I bought Okami 4 times (some as gifts, some as replacements) on the Wii and PS2. I played it tripping my face off and had one of the best times with a game in my life.
Damn skippy. Heck, I'm still astounded that they managed to emulate Okami's painterly art style on the DS (even if it didn't translate 100%). Hopefully Eshiro and his team get a second chance on the 3DS or perhaps on the Wii if they can't get a PS3/360 game approved. I especially liked the story that was truly heartfelt and emotional without devolving into melodramatic bullshit. Some of the more touching moments had me putting the waterworks on full blast. I actually felt attached to the characters.Daystar Clarion said:
It is also a lot simpler than Okami was gameplay-wise, but no more so than say the portable Zeldas have been to their console brothers. At the very least the game deserves to be played because, like MvC3, we never thought we'd get another. I say give the team some friggin' support.
I weren't really too excited about this, finished Okami for the first time on the PS2 just the other week and it felt like a really complete story. Or rather, 3. Okami Kids with simplified puzzles and worse-looking graphics didn't seem very enticing. I might just be bitter because none of the Clover guys look like they have anything to do with this, though.
I would really, really like a God Hand sequel. But not if it's on the DS :<

Okami probably is my favorite adventure game, beating even Zelda. Okamiden has only one gripe so far, and it's that there is no diagonal movement. It's awkward at first, but if you pay attention, the camera auto-moves for you so you can just run straight most of the time, and any odd curves you would otherwise make on an analogue stick is done for you.
Also, WTF is this about low frame rates? It's plenty good on a DS. 20FPS isn't anything to complain about on a handheld. 15 maybe, but not 20.
You and me...we're starting to understand each other. As amazing as all of Clover's games were (WTF Capcom...why put them down of all teams?) God hand is just beautiful and I wish it was more accessible for my friends and such.Grey Carter said:Critical Miss: Okamiden: Handling Criticism
It could have been worse.

So yeah. I don't care for Okamiden (curse you, stupid O thing!)
The game's biggest problem is that they literally just tried to transplant Okami's core gameplay into a handheld, perspective and all, and while the DS controls are superb the device just isn't built for Okami's visual experience. The once lush, beautifully designed graphics are now vague, pixelated nonsense running at about 20 fps if you're lucky. I know it's not cool to complain about graphics these days but Okami remains one of the most visually striking games ever made, that doesn't come across in the DS sequel, which is a shame.
The puzzles don't push you in the same way Okami's did either and you rarely, if ever, have to do something that hasn't been explained to you in one of the game's incredibly long, annoying, and of course, unskipable tutorials.
Chibiterasu is cute as a ************ though.
As for people asking for a Okami remake on HD consoles. I'd disagree. The game really is fine as it is on the PS2.
What we really need, is a sequel to the best Clover game evar.
Hey look at that! does Erin have a Delta and th three chain rings frm bioshock one and 2 on her wrists in the first panel?
Must look away... I can't AHHHHHH! Just kidding.
I have not played this one yet so I am not sure if I can agree but still, great job.
