Well I've started my amazing quest with my buddy Spanky, and this game is just hilarious! My copy also came with the manual and that on its own is a treasure trove of funny lines and backstory.

I shall overcome all obstacles with the power of sports equipment, a variety of hats that bestow fantastic power to Spanky, and my quick reflexes! The fruit that was in my knapsack that the Evil Witch turned into my enemies stand no chance against me.

Enjoy the rest of your Backloggiversary!

I was just glancing at random Backloggery pages and stumbled onto yours. I'm shocked there aren't more Okami themes around here, given its enduring popularity and inherent beauty.

I saw your note on Okamiden and it reminds me why I haven't gotten around to playing it yet, despite ranking Okami right up there near the top of my favorite games list. I always hoped for a sequel that could recapture the lightning in a bottle of the original, but I suppose we kinda got "sequels" in that Acts 2 and 3 in the original felt like unexpected bonus content after all the buildup to the conclusion of Act 1. Plus, I doubt I'd trust anyone to get it right at this point.

Anyway, just wanted to pop in and say I'm a fan of your theme.

Thank You Kindly!!

Almost 11 years of Backlogging that started around 180 and then taking over a week to beat Mike Tyson. It has been a long time coming, but I will enjoy this moment for all of time!

"Hi Lyn!" Jolee Bindo's last entry.

Hahaha oh no that means it's been spelled wrong for the last like 8 years!!

Aside from some hiccups in trying to get a handle on the game mechanics (how to swing your weapon, fast travel, jumping), I've been enjoying Arena thus far. You can really see the bones of the later Elder Scrolls games being developed in it.

I could do without the monsters in town at night and wild flailing with the mouse to attack, though.

Congrats on finally getting the Plat

I accomplished nothing this year, except the games I finished right at the start lol...

Happy backloggiversary!!

Hello, I am back with more Oreshika!

re: finding the correct Gods
Are you using a list? If the boss you want isn't spawning, sometimes you need to beat another God.
I can't remember the specifics... but I noticed the ones I needed weren't spawning. I had to beat someone in my path (I think that was it?), and then on a later attempt, the god I needed was there. So if someone is in their spawn point, kill that god. If that's not an option, kill any god on the map. If that doesn't work try looking for the next one you need instead. Blah blah.

Money you can abuse when you're done the game. Just make a back up save, and sell your entire inventory.
I also remember buying and selling stuff too, but I'm not sure why... Maybe it was related to another trophy...
