Quick look bonanza! On topic: Okami was an amazing game and I don't think this can live up to its predecessor's greatness, but I'll watch anyways.

Great start - could see that lasting the whole QL! 
 
Game would probably benefit from the increased oomph of the 3DS to give the graphics their proper due (plus the circle pad would be a better control). It would have made a great showcase for the new system - something a bit more substantial than the present line up.

25 minutes in:
Jeez, somehow watching Ryan do quicklooks is more infuriating than watching Brad fail over and over again. There are houses on your map you can enter. There are camera controls on the bottom screen.
 
Although mostly I'm just annoyed that neither of them really seem to remember anything from Okami. :(

Same problem with the original game, it doesn't tell you how to draw it to  make it work... just over and over try again, was so frustrating.

Why correct a word without checking that it is a word in the first place? Seems bizarre that you feel you know every word in the English language.

Don't they realized that Amaterasu is a goddess? I feel that the Giant Bomb crew doesn't really do their homework well.

Who hated Okami? I did. Boring as shit. 
 
And come on- don't claim to love Okami and then get Ammy's gender wrong.

It's a great game and I can wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone who enjoyed Okami. It's a bummer that it probably won't sell that well due to the recent launch of the 3DS, though.

I'm thinking more along the lines of they probably don't give a shit, because they don't really have to.

Once again Ryan sucks at games. 
 
At least it's not as painful as watching him play Assassins Creed.  
 
Also can someone else other than Ryan review this game because from the tone of this QL he's not going to review it well. Maybe Brad?

oh my god they complain about fucking every thing in this quick look. 
 
"Oh my god this story stuff is taking too long in the god damn start of the game, even though its totally reasonable"
"Oh my god no camera controls even though there is"
"Oh my god the graphics look really good for a DS game but there aren't enough polygons"
"Oh my god five second load times what will I do"
"Oh my god no fast travel to everywhere"
 "Oh my god I can't just go from point a to point b to progress" 
"Oh my god I actually have to pay attention to figure out what I need to do next" 
And then they just give up and say they don't want to play it any more.
 
Annoying as fuck quick look and makes me feel bad about listening to these peoples opinions on games.

Listen at about 3:44.  Even though they say Sun God, Ryan mentions that she is in Celestial Heaven, the Celestial Plain.  I expect you'll be apologizing to Ryan soon? 
 
Vinny also repeats "she" at about 3:56.
