I stil can't decide if I like more the ps2 look or the wii look. The wii is too saturated honestly, but some color is welcomed in a community so damn "brown" that it goes nuts because a game has some hints of red and yellow (see: reaction to mirror's edge trailer around the internet)

Maverick · « **Reply #326 on:** June 08, 2008, 01:44:18 PM »

Mirror's Edge has the same problem as the "brown" games. Everything I've seen of it is White, Red, Blue, and Yellow. It's vibrant and eye-catching at first, but I really hope there's more variety throughout the game, otherwise it will wear out my eyes after about an hour of play.

I love mirror's edge, but that is because theres finally a dev doing something new with first person perspective.

About the blurriness, I think is a "feature", its worse in the ps2 original, I think some people call it "ink bleeding"? The game looks great so I'm not really complaining, but I wouldn't mind getting rid of it.

Frankly, it was hard on the eyes, especially after not playing on an N64 in years.

Final game verdict: 7.9

This game is apparently an EB exclusive in Oz, so this suggests limited quantities. Snap it up when you can!

mantidor · « **Reply #330 on:** June 17, 2008, 09:01:26 PM »

am I the only one who loves the whipping with the sacred beans (or whatever they are called)? its kind of creepy how this game seems tailored for the remote. It makes me think a Castlevania wii could work, no matter how much hate the idea gets from gamers.

Geez, man. I buy games, and then don't get to them for months. My turn around time is terrible right now. I'd love for a drought to come so I can catch up. I need to get around to this game.

Here is some info about those replacement box art.

Hmm I submitted multiple times to the same address but from different names and email addresses hopefully I still get all 3.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #334 on:** June 23, 2008, 01:31:07 PM »

So hey does this place still exist? Do I still exist?!

What's up. Yeah, I totally need to get this game. And Mario Kart. And Brawl, and Phantom Hourglass, and maybe Fire Emblem, and probably some others. I'm way behind. It's kind of pitiful actually. It'll probably be about two months before I start catching up though. I may be around more often then. Hopefully.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #335 on:** June 23, 2008, 05:54:28 PM »

You'll catch up faster by skipping Okami.

LuigiHann · « **Reply #336 on:** June 23, 2008, 10:22:52 PM »

No need to hurry to catch up. You'll have plenty of time to play all those games during the drought.

Who says there is going to be a drought. Do you have a Crystal Ball?

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #338 on:** June 24, 2008, 05:38:37 AM »

I don't have anything much on my list except some sports games until September, I'd call 3 months a drought.

Yeah, one of the worst things about Okami's implementation was ignoring the pointer

Uhhh, it DOES use the pointer...

Then is the WORST use of the pointer EVER!

It took me a while, but I finally found the flaw of their design, the remote has to be hold straight, with no tilt, to draw accurately. If I tilt the remote say 90° and I try to draw a horizontal line it will result in a vertical line, thats why I doubt they used the pointer, because the pointer doesn't have that limitation. My guess is that thats the reason of such disparity between the reviews of okami controls.

Some may argue that conveying caligraphy accurately is done better that way but those people don't have any sense of what "fun" and "entertainment" is.

Quote from: Bill Aurion on July 24, 2008, 02:20:35 PM

If there's any flaw in the use of the pointer, it's on the side OF THE PERSON USING IT! I've never seen ANYONE complain about pointer accuracy (only character recognition, which is also mostly human error...)

Accuracy is not a problem, the problem is direction! the remote is always slightly tilted in my hand since I'm not a robot, so to have to straighten it up to draw is just cumbersome and simply put bad design, I can draw so much easier with the star pointer of Galaxy.

It doesn't stop Okami from being awesome anyway. I just beated Orochi, and now getting the boss drunk to beat him is my favorite boss gimmick ever.

Yeah I take my time with the game, I do have a fulltime job and very little free time, so for the first time ever I have a backlog. something that makes the oncoming drought tolerable.

Has anyone received their box art yet? It's been awhile.

Caliban · « **Reply #341 on:** July 24, 2008, 09:47:45 PM »

Still waiting too.

EasyCure · « **Reply #342 on:** July 25, 2008, 09:16:36 AM »

I might pick this game up next pay check, i've been meaning to for awhile. I'm worried that i'll be ineligible for the replacement box art though.. and you guys havent even gotten it yet so i feel like i'm pretty much stuck with the lame box art, huh?

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #343 on:** July 25, 2008, 01:10:35 PM »

You are. That thing ended months ago. But EC, I could mail you one of mine as long as you let me choose which.

EasyCure · « **Reply #344 on:** July 26, 2008, 01:10:08 PM »

hmm thanks for the offer man, but i'd have to get the game first. I'll keep you posted?

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #345 on:** July 26, 2008, 02:35:51 PM »

Cool cool. That works!

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #346 on:** July 27, 2008, 07:28:55 PM »

Okay I need some tips. This waggle battle would be JUST FINE, if he attacked every time I waggled the Wii Remote. BUT HE DOESN'T. And it's very frustrating.

Secondly, drawing straight lines SUCKS, even when you hold down Z you'll be damned if it actually goes the straight direction you want!

Thanks.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #347 on:** July 27, 2008, 07:34:15 PM »

Attacking is rhythm-based...You waggle, then wait a half-second and attack again, and keep up the rhythm...It takes a little time to get used to, particularly when in the heat of battle you just want to waggle as fast as you can... =)

Second, I never bothered with the Z button, as I felt it made things harder...Just do a quick motion left or right...Again, it's something that may seem difficult but is a cakewalk once you get the hang of it...

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #348 on:** July 27, 2008, 07:55:04 PM »

hmm so there is no solution.. okay I've got a frustrating road ahead. SWEET
