GameBrood wants you to try: Katamari Damacy
Written by Asaki Videl
Remember what its like to be a kid rolling over things with you ball? hmmm guess not. Anyway, lets dig the grave of one of the most heartwarming game of all time. YEP! KATAMARI DAMACY! No matter how pissed or how bloodthirsty you are, nothing can soften you up better than Katamari Damacy. Its popularity zoomed to astonishing heights as people started to join prince in his journey to make a katamari bigger than the cosmos! this game never fails to give me a smile and I hope it brightens up your day too!
ROYAL RAINBOW: One of the most familiar lines in the game and probably the first thing that would get you all “What…. The f-f–fff… I CANT SAY FU–!!! I’M TOO HAPPY!”
Correct me if I’m wrong but… I think Katamari Damacy is the most unique game ever made. Rolling over objects has never been this fun and being a total retard while rolling over cities makes it even more fun LOL.
Anyway, on to our little discussion…
Katamari Damacy is about a the King of all Cosmos (it’d probably be better we just call him GOD) who suddenly became foolish and destroyed all the stars in the galaxy (Whoah. and I thought this game was all innocent). Having to realize the folly of his ways, the king sent his only son (Hmm… sounds familiar) to make a katamari big enough to roll over everything just so they could repair the damage he caused.
Katamari: A katamari is a ball that looks much like an average stress ball that has a weird magnetic energy that makes everything stick to it (and makes everything else stick to whatever it sticks to). Hmm… confusing eh? I did my best… -_-
The level designs are pretty weak but the gameplay makes up fot it. The soundtrack is all jiggly and would probably get you dancing around and spinning your head while you roll over things in the game. this game… is Japan’s way of telling us that they are about to take over the world (Well of course aside from anime).
All in all Katamari is a great game for all ages. Just because you’re all dirtied up by Locust blood doesnt mean this game cant turn that frown upside down!!! WOOO!!!!
*Here’s a hug…
ROYAL RAINBOW!!!! BRING IN THE LOVE!!!!

You know what? It’s nice to actually meet a fellow local gamer that’s into the same shit I am. As you may have noticed, everybody in the Philippines is into MMOs (blech). Just sayin’.
As for Katamari Damacy, yeah it sure is one of the most different games out there. I’m having trouble looking for the first version, but eh, since I got rid of my PS2 for a PS3, I’ve been getting my Katamari fix from my PSP, which incidentally, is one of the rare games I really REALLY like on Sony’s handheld.

Yeah! I finished all the Katamaris already. sad to say even though the PSP version rocks like hell, using the buttons as analog sticks kinda hurts my thumb T__T. And yes, Filipinos love MMOS… not to mention the granddaddy of Filipino addiction…. DOTA X__X

HAHA yeah, the PSP can be hazardous to your health. DotA? Groan. Sa totoo lang, I’m not crazy about RTS games, kahit may RPG elements ang DotA. I find the concept absurd. I mean, if an enemy is attacking one of your grunts sa edge ng camp mo and you’re doing something else, don’t they have enough smarts to–you know–fight back?
And since DotA behaves like an MMO (because of the RPG elements), it’s the same thing as playing an MMO too. No wonder Filipinos don’t get any gaming love–we’re stoopid.

Woah what’s up with the DOTA hate? You may not like the genre but that’s no reason to judge the mod’s success as a game. While it’s defenitely overplayed DOTA still remains one of the best game mods ever, with great balancing of both sides’ heroes. What I always loved about DOTA was that it forced you to work as a team in order to win the game. Any hero that tried grandstanding would be pwned by the opposing team in seconds.
Also, I really don’t consider DOTA an MMO. In the first place it’s not massive (the game world at least), and in the second there’s not story arc or questing or any of that other random stuff inserted into MMOS to fill the game up. If anything DOTA’s the most like a sports game. 2 teams battle it out for roughly an hour, winner takes all. None of the drama is generated by the game but by the players’ actions.
Sorry, just got annoyed at the random hate.
But now for some love. Katamari Damacy is indeed one of the craziest and most awesome game ideas to come up in a decade. Unfortunately, they milked the franchise till it’s not only a shell of it’s former self. Still, you gotta love those crazy Japanese guys, cause this is a game that would NEVER have come out of a western studio.

Amen to the Katamari love bro! Well I dont reaally hate Dota, just wanna stretch topics cuz it seems to be the only game known to man when we also want to share a bit of everything. Trust me man X_X playing WOW and having someone tell you “Oi! Si terrorblade” would give you a gigantic LAWL

To be honest that doesn’t phaze me (mistaking wow characters for DOTA heroes). If anything that speaks to just how good Dota is at imprinting these characters into people’s heads.
And really, to this day I still call the dwarf character in DOTA “mountain king”, even though I’m sure he’s a character in Warcraft “canon”.

personal preferences on names I suppose. Depends on which names you imprint.
