[@pkmnkingx]

I am happy to announce that 1:02:08 aged absolutely horribly. Fuck. Yes.

[@the1silentdeath]

i can honestly say im glad you were wrong

[@pkmnkingx]

Me too😭😭😭 me freaking toooo!!!

[@Five0f5even]

Every retrospective: too bad there's no *real* sequel. Kamiya: Who decided that? ☝️☀️🐺

[@pkmnkingx]

I really think noooo one was expecting a sequel to be announced ahha

[@orangeslash1667]

@@pkmnkingx Fun Fact: Okami HD sold 2.30 million, this explains why Capcom green lite the sequel.

[@Toastishott]

Seriously under rated video! Just finished it and we don't have to be satisfied with no sequel anymore... OKAMI 2 ANNOUNCED YAAAAAS

[@pkmnkingx]

Awe thank you so very much!!! I'm glad you liked the video 😊 also yes!!! I know I was so excited that the end of this video aged so bad ahhahaa I'm so ready for Okami 2!!!

[@obsu]

we both played this game around the same time at similar ages, that's insane considering how niche it was back in 07/08.

[@pkmnkingx]

But that's awesome though! I loved how I expierenced this game and when I did, I'm glad you got the same / similar experience with it in the same time frame! But yeah kind of a wild coincidence huh ahah

@@pkmnkingx It was my dad's ex fiance's game and she would play it at his place and I'd watch, and I'm pretty sure she actually had a North American version of the game because the first time I ever saw it would have been in 2006 (I'm Australian, the game didn't come to us officially until 2007) and I've literally loved it ever since I first laid eyes on it, I have like 130 hours on Steam alone and that's from the last couple years, I have AUTISM over this game

[@pkmnkingx]

@obsu aw I love that okami story a lot I'm glad it had an impact on your gaming life! It's such a wonderful game and I'm glad to hear you have a passion for it! I don't know how many hour I have in total across all my copies of it but it's probably just about the same as you 😊 its such a wonderful game

[@obsu]

@@pkmnkingx I was ugly crying at the sequel announcement, the first one is ingrained in my psyche and I had already made peace with the fact that another one will never happen, it was better than any half life 3 or GTA 6 announcement could have been

[@conan4456]

Great video, thanks

[@pkmnkingx]

@conan4456 thank you so much for watching it!!!😊

[@pkmnkingx]

Thank you for checking out this video! This video was something I worked really hard on and it means a lot to me that you clicked on it! 😊

[@godzilla4189]

The Sun Rises again....

[@pkmnkingx]

It sure does 😭❤️

[@mahmoud6218]

okami was my life back in the day. a game that was certainly ahead of its time.

[@pkmnkingx]

Oh 100% it just such a enriching game and can really suck you into it's world!

[@tristanbaillie9015]

Amazing video, and I'm looking forward to more of these in depth and professionally edited passion projects from you!

[@pkmnkingx]

@tristanbaillie9015 thank you sooooo much 🥺🥺that makes me so happy I loved making this!

[@ryukreya45]

With the info of a new game in the works, i hope you look into a lot of japanese folktales/history! That way you might not be confused by these "wierd" story parts anymore :D Even the story of the moon princess with her bamboo rocket is rooted in a very popular japanese fairytale. (which is also the inspiration of a pokemon) That way your love for okami can get even deeper, when you know stuff like who the name of himeko is based on or what a facinating story the waterdragon people and the kind hearted fisherman are part of. And even the "aliens" of the past might be more than otherworldly looking creatures. This whole game is such a loveletter to a ton of traditionally japanese things. I will say to anyone: it is worth to check out the sources if you really loved the game! Things will make more sense! :D (Suprisingly, even things like a sentient slip of paper or a wayblocking blockhead are part of that history/fairytale mix)

[@pkmnkingx]

@@ryukreya45 yeeees I have looked into a lot of Japanese folk lore that inspired this game, mostly the orochi story and amaterasu's specific lore, there is soo much that I still have to research though I only found out about the moon princess story after I recorded this video as well but it really is nice seeing sooo many different elements of Japanese folklore and stories in this game, it's like nothing is out of question for what they can add and I'm excited to see what stories they take inspiration from for part 2! I literally learn more and more about this game every day it's so nice

[@noblesshorts]

mate, Okami was and still is hands down, the BEST game i have ever played. the unique story, the characters, the stellar artstyle, the gameplay, everything was too good for its time.

[@pkmnkingx]

@datguysshorts I'm glad I'm not alone on thinking this! It's literally such an incredible game inside and out 😊

[@donovanfaust3227]

Certainly isn't without it's flaws but yeah everything else more than makes up for them.

[@tommyherrick8220]

It was way cheap. Ever since the announcement of the sequel the price for the u.s. PS4 version specifically has shot up to a ridiculous amount. I got lucky and just grabbed it last night for about $48.

[@pkmnkingx]

I kind of worried the pricing would increase with the hype around the sequel, I know steam has a good sale for the pc version but honestly out of all the versions I've played the ps4 one was my fav way to play it

[@tommyherrick8220]

@@pkmnkingx i’ve been meaning to grab it for years now, but kept getting distracted by other stuff and then next thing I know it’s this super rare game that people are charging $300-$500 for on eBay. I could have easily got it digitally for much cheaper, but I always try to get physical whenever I can.

[@pkmnkingx]

@tommyherrick8220 that's honestly far, I still have my disk copy of it for the wii ! But the rest I have are digital, I hope you enjoy playing it when it comes in!!!

[@tommyherrick8220]

@@pkmnkingx thanks I definitely will. I actually have the Japanese PS3 copy, but my PS3 just died on me recently so I went ahead and grabbed the PS4 copy.
