Is it worth playing in 2026?Be honest, I hear terrible things about the pacing...
It fucking won fucking game of the fucking year. Of course it's worth fucking playing. It beat Twilight princess for fucks sake.
Yeah just have patience for the first time playthrough.
>>736642858>It beat Twilight princess for fucks sake.Twilight Princess was kinda ass bro...t. Wind Waker fanboy
nah im a huge early 3d zeldafag and i dropped it, imagine twilight princess but youre a dog forever, and theres 10x more dialogue and cutscenes
>>736642650the pacing is fine if you're not a tiktok brained ADHD zoomer.it is a fucking long game though, so strap in
>>736642650The pacing is fine, it slows down a bit near the end, but the dialogue doesn't help sometimes. The dog quest where Issun ends every translation he does for the dogs with "Y'hear that ammy?" weirdly got on my nerves when I played it years ago. Other than that, it's kino. Set aside a couple of days to really go through the whole thing, you won't regret it.
wheres the IGN watermark?
>>736643492on your mothers lower back
>>736643542please dont disrespect my mother
>>736642650Its the best Zelda clone and one of the few where I wouldn't care if you preferred it over the actual Zelda
>>736642650I replayed it early this year. It's great. Had to mess around with some controller settings and mods to have it feel right on Steam Deck but otherwise no complaints.
>>736643492On the Wii version
>>736642950It's not that long if you're not doing all the quests or collectibles. I beat it in 45 hours without rushing
>>73664381845 hours is a pretty long playtime for an adventure game, it's not like it's an RPG. Consider that most zeldas are around the 10-20 hour mark.
>>736642858i'm glad you used all those swears, otherwise you wouldn't have convinced me
I liked it. It's art is beautiful and the story is interesting, but I was burned out after putting 40 hours in it, decided to take a break for a few days and ended up never touching it ever again.This was about 8 years ago.
>>736642650Well worth it. Never really understood the pacing complaints.
>>736644202it feels like you end and restart the game 3 times is the issue. you also fight the snake boss too many times
>>736642650it's literally the best game ever made son
>>736642650It can be pretty rough in terms of interruptions at times, especially early on, but it's more than worth it.Pacing issues shouldn't deter you from such a good game.>>736643985The last boss is genuinely one of the best part of the game, even if the boss gauntlet before that is meh
>>736642650>I hear terrible things about the pacing...When I played the game for the first time last year I was expecting endless text and cutscenes. In reality, it is just a slower paced game and all the text can be skipped. I'm pretty sure the criticisms stem from the fact that the original release didn't let you skip cutscenes.
if you like dogs or you're a huge weeb yesif you don't like a zelda-like format noit's a cult classic but the cult isn't that large
>>736643880seethe more fucking puritan fucker
>>736642858fuck that was epic have a gold
>>736642650Only if you can stomach 30fps.
>>736642650Honestly I found it pretty boring, and I love early 3D Zelda. I dropped it after finishing the first act.
I remember buying it on release when I was ~14. Absolutely loved it, called it one of my favorite games ever for years. A couple years ago I decided to replay it for the 1st time. Didn’t like it that much that time. Shit drags on.I don’t think the pacing is the problem, it’s the fact that your end objectives changes multiple times. I’ll be a bit vague to avoid spoilers, but there seems to be this obvious goal you are trying to achieve and then once you achieve it, it doesn’t solve the problem. So the game keeps going on. There are 2 moments where they could’ve ended the game, but plottwist there is more. That combined with the fact the game is ridiculously long, especially for its genre, killed the experience for me second time around.Pretty much everything still holds up. Music is great, visuals are great, gameplay is fun but that long ass story..
>>736642650Yes, it's a classic and worth playing any year. I never had issues with the pacing and I played it back when it first launched on PS2. I guess younger people have worse attention spans or something though. It's a "pure" and "soulful" game, it's not for people that have their brains poisoned by irony. You need to be able to sit down and enjoy a big magical adventure while not checking social media every five seconds.
>>736647690What an insufferable faggot
>>736642650peach cutout
>>736647803I don't know how that offended you but okay.
>>736642650yes
>>736642650Yeah I played the HD version and enjoyed it a lot
>Start game>no option to turn off tutorial bug>realize I'm going to have to listen to him treat God herself like a retard the whole game>stop playing
>>736642650Never forget
>>736642650Beginning has a lot of dialogue and is a bit of slog to get through, but other than that the pacing is fine. The game also feels oddly long however. It has 3 acts which all feel like climaxes to the story but it just keeps going.
>unlock pissing and shitting moves>combat turns into DMCIt was great
>>736647616Lucifer includes stories in games so he can fill it with shitty metaphors and brainwashing. You might’ve noticed by now, some characters in videogames have funny or ironic names. But, it’s actually every character in every game, you just didn’t clue in to the name. The stories themselves are also totally filled with cuckolding or political shit. Every single game is like this. He also chooses the titles to games, okami is named after an o, which is a hole. A ka, which means poo. And a me, denoting itself as a crap hole. It’s cuckolding, or a type of cuckolding. It’s a way for lucifer to maintain some semblance of legality when mentioning sexual concepts in public, he does it to bypass his own laws essentially. And also as a way to claim ownership over all the products. He claims this world is his, he calls himself the king, a god. But, he’s not very generous with anything valuable, his ego is extremely undeserved. He actually seems to have enslaved animal life, in a clever way, to avoid destruction of his own property. Conflict among slaves isn’t always desired, as he uses them for production. Look, it’s this big thing I’m not gonna go into every little detail about lucifer here. It’s all pretty fucking obvious and I’m pretty sure it just gets censored anyways. Hes the bad guy, the big villain of our reality. A real one. He eats humans and rips their dicks off for fun. He likely will get away with it, hard as it is to admit. He can speak fluently, it’s hard not to judge him accordingly. The penis destroying is definitely one of his most barbaric hobbies, he tears dicks off of men. As like a power thing, I think. Or a type of fetishm. I’m not totally sure.
>>736642650This is my favorite game of all time, but it's got a ton of flaws, including tricking you into thinking you're at the end of the game (twice), repeating the same boss fight three times and you can't have sex with fake Rao.
>>736642650Do you like Zelda? If yes sure, go for it, the game is the same "bomb the cracked wall" bullshit Zelda is>pacingAs other anon have said the game has 3 acts that all feel like it's how the game should end but it just keeps going, you also have to fight this one boss at the end of each act which feels like cheap padding but again if you can tolerate Zelda, you can tolerate this
>>736642650Press F2 to skip cutscenes
>>736648202Okami was like clearly designed to be a big hit. Complete fail, games suck ass. Complete fail lucifer, commit suicide.
>>736642650i tried it a couple years ago>paint the sky>paint the road>paint the bridge>little garden minigame>cut the trees>paint the enemiesthen i dropped it, kind of boring but its a cool idea and it looks beautiful. i like the little retard that jumps about and hides inside girl's panties and tits or something i forget. maybe ill try it again someday and it hits different, many of these ps2 games feel like you had to be in that era and were made with the climate at the time, picking them up now feels weird unless you're really used to ps2 games
>>736648202nah, I never felt like any of the 3D zeldas were as tedious as Okami. Even SS

>>736642650If you like zelda type games, it is a 100 percent must play. It works better if you have a basic understanding of japanese mythology, like a puzzles and dragons level .do it you bitch.
>>736648018Holy shit. Ammy goes fucking hard.
>>736648418Susuano eventually has his glow up, mytologically speaking. He also shows up in the Usagi Yojimo marathon on /co/, going on now, at least once. Full size, not flea sized.
>>736648180get a load of this guy
>>736642650It’s because the 3rd act with the nine tailed fox and the demon island fortress feels like it would be the ending with how much build up it has…except there’s actually one more chapter after that and it feels rushed by comparison.
>>736649489to me the last act drags on a little, because of the liliput village and the flashback aand the ice dungeon
>>736642650>realize I never played the game>check Steam>both video previews are just characters talking and scenery shotsSo is this even a game or some kind of walking simulator for people that like looking at games more than playing them?
>>736649903It's zelda but with a fox.
>>736649391Lucifer was funny, he chose every name, but made it look more like it was done for worshipping him. Even though, he just did it himself using ugly inbred clones because he reproduces with his own father essentially. He’s a hideous creature who will be happier resting in eternal sleep.
>>736649927Is it like WW/MM Zelda or TP Zelda?
>>736650012TP Zelda but without good dungeons
>>736642650play it and find out, zoom zoom.
>>736642650>japanese mythology and folklorecringe
>>736649903It's a 3D Zelda like but the combat is Tales of encounter based. Then you unlock combat taunts and you start styling and it becomes DMC like
>>736650025TP doesn't have good dungeons either. You can't even jump in Zelda games.
>>736649927my wife is a WOLF please be respectful thank you very much
>>736642650The pacing is atrocious now that you mention it....the game just keeps on going and going and going.The localization sucks too. They did that thing where they made the sidekick's dialogue way more aggressive and obnoxious than it needed to be.It's an absolute slog watching the text appear at a snails pace, i cant believe there's no romhack to fix that.But if you want to play a zelda clone, you could do a lot worse.
>>736642650the art the atmosphere is so fucking great and i fucking hate *eld* games anything z***a i dont bat an eye looking at it i hate it so much i dont even want to type its name
>>736642650It's a good game in the style of Zelda. Yes it is worth playing.
The pacing complaints came from how unexpectedly long the game is.When you think the game is ending a new region opens up for another 25 hours. Its like three games strapped together
>>736643870>most zeldas are around the 10-20 hour markOnly if you're talking 2D. Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword are pretty long and tedious.
>>736644202>>736644631Yeah it feels like it's a trilogy of three 12-15 hour games at times. The game is split into 3 main arcs.
>>736642858Twilight Princess is a fairly low bar. It's a shit game now, it was a shit game 20 years ago.
>>736653515Kon kon mother fucker
>>736655054>TPI don't recall it taking that long. I mean the opening portion of the game is certainly tedious but it felt pretty similar in overall length to OOT.>SSNever played it so no comment.
It's a fun game and Ammy planted the seeds that eventually made me spill my seed to erotic illustrations of animals.
>>736643818It's less that it's long and more that there's 3 "arcs" each the length of an entire game and when it feels like the game is going to end it pulls you back in for another 15 hours. You beat Orochi and think "That was a fun Zelda-like game. I beat the final boss and I'm ready to put it down now" and then it throws another game at you and does that a third time after the second one. I didn't really mind since I loved it but it can get tedious if you're expecting it to be over after the first one.
>>736642650If there's a mod out there that speeds up the fucking text, still not really no lol. Just boring. Ignore anyone that says it gets epic crazy at the end or whatever, they were just 8 and easily impressed.Between this and Bayonetta Origins, Platinum's idea of a kids game is to be as monotonous and languid as possible, like there's some sort of hidden stash of attention kids have access to long after adults are bored.
>>736654981A single playthrough took me roughly 28 hours but that was because by the final act I was getting tired of it and skipped a lot of the collectibles or side quests. It’s not the longest game I ever played but it sure does feel like it overstays its welcome.
>>736642650i started it up once and after 10 minutes of unskippable textdumps i couldn't stand it any longer
>>736647986>tutorial bugYou PUT SOME FUCKING RESPECT on the name of Issun "Holy cow this sister's stacked" the celestial envoy.
>>736644202The third act definitely starts to drag a bit with sections that feel like padding. The lack of new brush techniques in this section too doesn't help
>>736642650The only terrible thing I heard was you'd think you were near the end of the game only to find you were just a third of the way through. Imagine bitching about having more kino to play.
>>736642916No one will fight you on that. TP didnt even have a newgame+.
>>736642858>game of the year meaning anything everI've never watched the video game awards and I never intend to. I do regret missing Matan's appearance though.
>>736642650Its pretty good but at some point your are going to lose interest. It also doesnt help that its some new dumb thing and a tutorial about it. There's is a point where you should not be hitting progress walls and everything should be open to you and you never get that point. That is to say when you get there the game is immediately over.
>>736654981I think the painting mechanic really overstresses the time to complete things and taxes the player's patience. Like, the painting thing should have been for a 5 hour max puzzle game. You are having to do this paint thing for every puzzle for every fight for 20 plus hours.
>>736642650Okami takes 40 hours to beat. It's mostly silent and dull cutscenes. A lot - A LOT of repeated content. Borderline Drakengard/Nier tier. It makes the dullest Zelda game look like Metal Gear Rising in comparison.
>>736642650Yes, it's absolutely worth playing. The pacing is weird, but it just results in game feeling like "Oh, this is the finale? No wait, this is the finale? Surely THIS is the finale?!"
>>736642650>I hear terrible things about the pacing...Don't listen to gaming journalists, anon...
>no balls or gunsyo dis game ass fo shizzle
>>736653623>The localization sucks too. They did that thing where they made the sidekick's dialogue way more aggressive and obnoxious than it needed to be.Absolute bullshit. In Japanese, the sidekick is very much "obnoxious" and "aggressive" too, just in a culturally Japanese way. Fucking weebfags know nothing about what the Japanese version actually includes, what a fucking surprise.
>>736653623care to explain how? I've seen his dialogue in japanese and he comes off really similar to how he does in english.
how can any adult enjoy this game? it's made for toddlers and you could sleepwalk your way to the ending
was it really necessary to draw her asshole
My only problem is that it feels like it ends three different times but then it reveals a new villain until finally you fight the most underwhelming boss of them all.
It's great when you're 11 years old and can only afford 1 game a year
>>736642650The only good redeeming quality is the art style and the decent character designs. Everything else is worse then Twilight princess or any 3d Zelda for that matter.
>>736642650I beat it last year, it was a good Zelda-like. Not sure what the year has to do with it, the game doesn’t change with time.
>>736658597>Falcom faggot still seething a french game is more relevant than Trailslmao
