Okami is the Poor Man’s Zelda

Beggin’ Strips: Dogs Don’t Know it’s Not Bacon. “It’s Bacon!!!”

I don’t have much to say about Okami, and mostly that is because it is so goddamn average. Nothing about it makes it stand out from the heaping pile of mediocre titles the video game industry craps out on a monthly basis. Now I know what you’re going to say, “BUT BRIK, HTIS GAME IS TOTALLY AWESOME AND YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKIN ABOUT TEH BEST PART ARE THE ANIME GRAPHICS LOL.” Before you go ahead and post that just think about this: you are an idiot.

Okami has virtually no redeeming qualities. The graphics are all cel-shaded, which was a cool gimmic back in 2003, but is kind of outdated at this point. The music is bland, uninspiring, pseudo-historical Japanese fare. The story has also been done to death, offering nothing new whatsoever. “BUT BRIK YOU PLAY AS A WOLF GOD WAHT OTHER GAMES DO YOU NOW ABOUT THAT HAVE HTAT LOL?” It doesn’t matter, just replace the wolf with a short guy wearing green tights, and you have another Zelda clone.

Okkusenman – RockMan MegaMan Madness

This is so fucking epic. Just try to watch it and not get pumped up. See? You can’t. I’ve also included some karaoke lyrics below for you completely insane people out there. I grabbed the lyrics from Digital Monkey Box, so give that site some lovin’ while you’re at it. Verdict? I think you already know.
