Results 1 - 10 of about 32 for "i hate katamari". (0.69 seconds)

32!! and most of them didn't even mean it

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 20 October 2005 03:54 (twenty years ago)

i don't hate it though (just to clarify)

from joystiq:

Keita Takahashi, the creator of Katamari Damacy, recently told the BBC that he plans to leave the gaming industry to pursue a career in playground design: “In 10 years time, I am not going to be making games any more… I would like to create a playground for children… an undulating one, with bumps.” Takahashi holds a degree in sculpture design and believes that children should spend more time playing in the physical (read: outside) world. His presence in the “virtual” world will be sorely missed.

― allen riley (allenriley), Thursday, 10 November 2005 17:23 (twenty years ago)

And also, in that article, he says of the sequel that "There are fun things are in the game, though I am not happy with all of it." Aparently he was happier with the original, and didn't even want to make a follow up.

― JimD (JimD), Thursday, 10 November 2005 17:33 (twenty years ago)

I just played Katamari for the first time yesterday. Fun.

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Sunday, 13 November 2005 19:31 (twenty years ago)

I want to play this game! Do I have to have a PS2?

― Jaq (Jaq), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 23:24 (twenty years ago)

Yes. It's worth it.

― jeffrey (johnson), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 23:33 (twenty years ago)

Thanks jeffrey! I just found PS2 Essentials too.

― Jaq (Jaq), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 23:36 (twenty years ago)

Jaq on ILG! This board has everything now.

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 00:38 (twenty years ago)

Oh GP, I am lame at games, though there are some I truly love. I think I would love a giant sticky ball rolling around picking things up.

― Jaq (Jaq), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 01:14 (twenty years ago)

Katamari Damacy will change your life.

I thought the first one was the most amazing thing ever, and for that reason have delayed playing the second game. Not really sure why - maybe I'll play it over Christmas holiday?

I thought the same thing... why would I want to play the same thing again, I already have the first one! But then I bought it, and predictably, I loved it.

When i was out my back door getting teh st0ned i planned the exact sequence of items i'd need to roll up so i cld eventually roll up my house. I think it may have taken over my life.

― jeffrey (johnson), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 01:11 (twenty years ago)

Sometimes I mentally roll up restaurants bit by bit while I wait for the waiter to bring my food.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 03:06 (twenty years ago)

Once I got really high and imagined a Katamari level where you were embedded on your own sphere. So like little objects you rolled up would be dumped down from the sky as enormous shit. Imagine! Rolling a doll house drops an entire house filled with stuff into the map.

I guess the king could explain it away with some mumbo jumbo about the power of imagination.....

― Occam's Reznor (ex machina), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 15:47 (twenty years ago)

is that like... recursive... katamari? [brain melts]

― sleep (sleep), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 16:22 (twenty years ago)

I have thought about that a lot since you mentioned it. Would you eventually roll up the huge mirrored items that are dropped?

― Laura H. (laurah), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 17:09 (twenty years ago)

of course... I'm not sure how that would progress except that it would effectively keep you the same size as even enormous objects are scaled up....

― Occam's Reznor (ex machina), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 17:31 (twenty years ago)

Katamari Damacy PSP features one big change from previous titles: dynamic levels. The levels change based on the time and season. Levels also feature changing paths which make the game different each time you play.

Why can't I buy that Cozen's Katamari t-shirt?!

"The Wonderful End Of The World"

katamari for the PC, available through Steam. but reports suggest it's way too easy and nowhere near as good as the katamari games. Anyone played it here?

― Ste, Sunday, 20 July 2008 11:38 (seventeen years ago)

does anyone ever want to play or think about or make crafts based on this game again?

― s1ocki, Sunday, 20 July 2008 13:37 (seventeen years ago)

I loved it, but no.

one year passes...

Just got Katamari Reroll for the Switch. It’s real cheap so if you like the series I’d recommend it. All the music is from the first game but I think the levels are new. Controls are more unwieldy than I remembered them being but the game is still a lot of fun. Nothing like the satisfaction of rolling up something you thought was a bit too big or getting to that giant size where you can get pretty much everything. Also I admire this games commitment to never having anything make any goddamn sense at all.

― frogbs, Thursday, 16 December 2021 17:17 (four years ago)

It's the original game remastered isn't it? I've been stuck a while on it. First time playing. But i don't mind. Could listen to the soundtrack forever.
