Excellent - so I'm not the only one who ponders this.
Reading the comments on Psychonauts - Okami has a TERRIBLE, PAINFUL intro lasting up to 20 mins before you can start playing! The subtitles can't be hurried at all - I read much faster than they display - and the 'voice' NOISE that accompanies them is atrocious.
Anyone looking at why the game didn't achieve its deserved success can look at the lack of marketing, and the terrible intro.
I was hardly going to recommend the game to anyone, when I had turned it off 3 times before even beginning to play the damn thing out of annoyance and not having the time to sit through the intro. Perfect example of an awful interface.
If games and movies don't develop some mutual respect, all we can expect are films that are really bad action games and games that are really bad films, says Steven Poole.

You don't understand the statement I made. Maybe you should go and learn, or just accept that you don't know what I'm talking about.
I'm not interested in teaching YOU. You're a random Internet poster, who doesn't understand what I'm making a statement about.
I'm not here to teach you. Go away.
Yes - you don't understand.
WAR! Huh!
