GO PLAY OKAMI NOWWWWWWWWWW

ITS A BEAUTIFUL GAME WITH A WONDERFUL STORY AND ONE OF MY FAVORITE OSTS

YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE NOW GO PLAY ITTTTTTTT

[icyspy64]

Okami is proof of why more games should do more stylized art styles and why you don't need realism to look gorgeous.

It's a nearly 20 year old game and it looks gorgeous, it holds up well and even 2hen it got HD remake there was minimal changes (I think maybe colors were brightened? or something)

It also has 0 voice acting- though they do have some sounds Ala animal crossing but still.

It's beautifully distinct unable to be confused with any other game.

Okay now I'm curious what's Okami about (spoiler free)? I kind of want to play it now

ok first off i apologize for the untagged spam LOL i was trying not to post hardcore spoilers tho

basicallyyyyy plot wise without spoilers? it’s like a delightfully butchered mishmash of japanese mythology. i mean that in a good way. you play as amaterasu, goddess of the sun, who in mythology can be portrayed as either a maiden or as a wolf (but here she’s just a wolf). in the game yeah of course she’s like graceful and powerful and divine but more importantly she’s dumb as a sock‼️‼️‼️ stinky dog. but she’s gonna save the world from darkness and curses and demons! but she just woke up from a nap…. i could say more about the plot but it’s better to just experience it tbh

the primary game mechanics involve using her tail as a magical divine paintbrush and basically painting new life and power into the world around her. it’s super fun!!! you can regenerate stuff, slash stuff, place bombs, generate wind, slow time, control fire and water and grass… etc. you regain these lost powers of yours one by one (cuz you just woke up from a nap) to help you solve puzzles and stuff. they’re like dungeon items in the legend of zelda, kinda. on the whole the gameplay is pretty traditional zelda-esque

i warn potential new players of two main things:

1. the opening cutscene is SO long it’s like 20 minutes or at least it feels that way. this is NOT representative of the game’s others cutscenes at all. it is just the intro that’s like this i promise. and you don’t have to worry if you can’t absorb all that info (i definitely could not). it will all be told to you again at some point. they go for vibes and trying to draw you into the Feelings of it rather than cut and dry simple info

2. the ‘voice acting’. it’s like that style they do in games like animal crossing with the chopped-up gibberish babbling voice bites. in particular the voice of your primary companion is very high pitched and can be annoying and of course he has the most dialogue in the game by several miles lol. it’s an acquired taste for sure- me personally i love it now! but you can turn the voice volume down in settings i’m pretty sure. you could just turn it to zero if you really wanted. just in case

anyway this is a perfect game

i love y'all but everyone saying "okami 2" like my boy here suffered for nothing

[icyspy64]

on one hand, WOOOOOO INVESTIGATIONS 2 IS FINALLY LOCALIZED

on the other hand

WHO THE FUCK CHANGED HIS NAME?!?!

THAT IS MY SON SEBASTIAN DEBESTE

[icyspy64]

hey so like we collectively agree that we’re still calling him sebastian and not the travesty of that new name, right?

[icyspy64]

About investigations 2 being localized... oh boy the names they chose for the characters...

It is impossible to keep the fantranslation names because of legal issues and copyright, and Eddie Fender and Verity Gavèlle aren't that bad tbh...

But that Sebastian Debeste is now Eustace Winner is fucking stupid. That's a grandpa's name. Even Klavier/Konrad doesn't sound as bad. He's still going to be Sebby Debeste to me, you cannot change my mind.

[icyspy64]

EUSTACE WINNER????

joining the war on deadnaming on the side of deadnaming that is my son sebastian debeste and you will refer to him that way only
