10 Video Games That Should Have Started 10 Minutes Later

10. Okami

In Okami, you play as a deity dog who brings order to the world with his Celestial paintbrush. As bizarre as the premise sounds, this action-adventurer is one of the most beautiful games ever made. It has been re-released a bunch of times and yet, Clover Studio's game still feels unappreciated.

But if it wasn't for Okami's glowing reputation, many people would've switched it off quickly due to the irritating prologue. Instead of talking with, y'know, words, the characters make garbled noises while they speak, similar to Banjo-Kazooie. These conversations go on for so long, you'll find these squeaky sounds grating on you before you've done anything.

When you finally take control of your hero, players must endure another reviled aspect of gaming - the stop-start.

While you try to jump, run, and attack, you'll be constantly interrupted by your helper, Issun. Even though Navi from Ocarina of Time was annoying for her stop-start interruptions, at least her advice was brief. Issun, on the other hand, can spend two minutes explaining something that takes five seconds to do!

Players should be reassured to stick with Okami despite this opening since it gets WAY better after the 10-minute mark.
