The demo is underwhelming.
>>740166069it is, Capcom playing it too safe now. Every game felt like it's made for babies now even RE9
yup. I liked re9 and pragmata but this just seems mid.
It a capcom game, what did you expect
boss was almost fun but it's just overall way too easy and slowyou could speed the game up by .5x and it would be better
They need to stop doing demos that are just a shitty tutorial of the early parts of the game it's the opposite of hype. If your demo isn't RE4 village opening kino don't even bother
It's fucking BORING, and for a video game, that's an unforgivable sin.At least they learned from Milds and it's well optimized, and that's the best thing I can say about it right now. Not good looking by any means, but optimized.
Entirely too easy, the final boss of the demo only killed me because I didn't understand the combat because of how easy the rest of the demo was.
>>740166069The problem is no Jean Reno.Jean Reno has been the protagonist of every Onimusha gameIn 1 and 2, you play as transformed Jean Reno (forma de Asian)
the gaming community is not too excited about the onimusha demo
>Pragmata demo gave you a modified section of the game so it introduces the basics and gives you a challenge>this demo just gives you a tutorial all set to journalist modeWhy
>>740166069You're a Nioh/Ninja Gaiden cuck and your games failed.
>>740166821wow the Onimusha fans are vocal about the new demo and they are not happy
I honestly don't get why they decided to give difficulty choices in the demo if it was going to be this easyGranted people these days are used to Nioh and Sekiro but come on now.
I'm so fucking sleep deprived I have ghosting irl. Thans for reading my blogpost.
>>740167924Nioh can still wipe it's ass with you if you're distracted, even the 3rd one.
>>740166069Everything needed to be turned up by half for Ganryu and the mid level enemies. I’d have more hope if beating the demo had unlocked a harder fight against Ganryu to give the feel of some higher level play. The trash mobs felt like they did in the old ones but archers are jank and need work.
>>740166069It's too easy. Ganryu is solid for a beginner boss on normal, but the enemies are too passive other than the guy with the big sword the demo treats as a miniboss, and even he is still too easy if you're aggressive. I love the demo despite that, though. Ganryu in particular is super fun.
This put all the Nioh games to shame when to launches.
>>740168201Fix your fucking circadian rhythm, imbecile. Go to sleep.
>>740166069Is it on ps4?
I'm downloabing it. I will play this and then Dawn of Dreams afterwards for maximum displeasure with the demo, or something idk
"X is underwhelming" will be the biggest meme of the latter half of 2026, mark my words.
>>740166069Even from the preview videos it's apparent how braindead and passive the enemies are
I didnt expect it to be very challenging, but i still loved it.The animations across the board are really good. Actually lol'd that you can use a cart of bales as an environmental weapon.
>>740166069Colour me surprised
>>740166552>At least they learned from Milds and it's well optimizedhow come they still can't fix that piece of shit
>>740167031>and gives you a challengeguess I played a different demo. the pragmata demo was piss easy. the boss was even easier than Ganryu
>>740172092Yea I liked it so far, I’m guessing at higher difficulties and as the story progresses
>>740166069Yeah, this game is ass. Franchise is better off dead. Dawn of Dreams was good closure.
>>740172094I can't, there's no colour
>>740172374Are you just saying that because I mentioned Dawn of Dreams in this thread
>>740167031>Pragmata demo>challenge Yea I don’t know about that anon, sure onimusha demo could be harder but pragmata demo wasn’t challenging at all
>>740172517I've only read the OP, doofus. The weapon leveling system is great.
>>740172645I'm onto you, paid opposition
>>740172576It was if you're a paraplegic. Or a consolefag, not mutually exclusive.
>>740166373Wait, you didn´t find RE9 already barely mid? I mean Pragmata was a solid mid, but only for the feeling of the gameplay. Diana or not, you could practically cut her out and made the game with hugh alone, wouldn´t change anything whatsoever.
We are playing the Onimusha demo on Steampowered dot com
>>740175043It feels a lot like Ghost of Tsushima
DEMO TOO EASY WAHHH>game comes outGAME TOO HARD WAHHHH
>>740175558Kek, said the same thing in the other thread. It really does, at least the combat.
>>740175717Usually the opposite order happens. So it'll be even more braindeas on release
>>740166069>there's a demonice>people ITT saying it's piss easy and kind of boringnot nicedowloading it rn, guess i'll see for myself
>>740166069I thought it was good :) I like that it feels unique to other action games on the market
>>740176258Unless you’re a complete retard only like two places you could die and they are near the end of the demo
>>740176963Why is this a bad thing? Not every action game needs to be 2004 Ninja Gaiden
>>740177072Yea it’s not it’s just retards always have to be negative about games, it’s slower paced like onimusha 2 so I like it but I wouldn’t mind if the monsters where a bit more aggressive so you can parry even more stuff
this'll be the first onimusha I skip. Not a fan of parrybait combat design.>enemies/bosses begin to block your attacks so that you're forced to back off and sit around waiting for their big telegraph to parry and are allowed to play againat least other action games let you pump out damage and let you throw in a parry/dodge in the midst of combat. or at least they used to.
>>740176963The original Onimusha was also pretty easy on normal aside from the trial gauntlet you can do to get the optional super sword. It was so easy I played through it twice and only learned how to Issen late in my second playthrough out of curiosity. I can't speak for the other games, though. Great game, but not hard at all unless you just can't get your mind around tank controls.
>>740166069if you couldn't tell from the trailer that the gameplay was bad it's on you
>>740177072I would say it lacks, I don't know, some kind of friction? You just walk through it like a hot knife through butter until the demo boss, and I died to it once. At least that was the case for me, on the action or something difficulty.
>>740177353I agree it was certainly pretty smooth going, but it's also safe to assume the game ramps up as it proceeds
>>740177296>The original Onimusha was also pretty easy on normal aside from the trial gauntlet you can do to get the optional super sword.Honestly even that's kinda easy if you've gotten the gis of Issen.Onimusha 1 is a great game, but it's not hard by any means, in fact it might have one of the easiest final bosses ive ever seen in an action game.
>historical nipponese setting>english dub has hilariously heavy bri'ish accentsholy kekerino, at least ghost of tsushima had the common sense to give jin a japanese accent for the dubbing>playing dubbedI don't, but the fact that they made this decision shows how little they care about the game. on top of the game using kunitsugami assets (amazing game btw), this is a clear low budget cash grab.
>>740177430Probably, maybe people would have different opinions if they let us play a bit more, demo definitely felt a bit too short. I have 45 minutes on it, about third of that was just tinkering with the settings.
>>740177514nta, but honestly, who cares if the game is hard or not? I agree neither 1 nor this new one are "hard", but thats not why I was playing 1 in the first place. I was playing it because it was fun, and it was generally fun the whole way through. So far the new one just is such a fucking slog to go through, regardless of difficulty.
>>740166069It's short and extremely easy. I was thinking it was boring shit until the last enemy and the boss. After fighting those, I can see it being decent.
>>740177553I just play with Japanese voices. I didn't even know Nioh 2 had English voice acting as an option until I beat the game 3 times
>>740166069Your face and penis are underwhelming.
>>740166069Yuup.Basic enemies are just mash mash mash.The CUHRAZY guy has those haha did I stab or did I stab animations, but even he was a one try chump.I liked the lady but eh.
>>740177553>at least ghost of tsushima had the common sense to give jin a japanese accent for the dubbingI hated that shit too. They're not speaking English with an accent, they're speaking Japanese translated into English.Honestly I'd keep the voices set to Japanese in Onimusha if I knew characters weren't going to talk during gameplay. I can't read subs and parry at the same time.
>>740176209>UsuallyI've only ever seen hard demos with MonHun, nothing else
I'm getting Genichiro'd by Devil Sasaki Kojiro
>>740166069it is good, its just too easy
>>740178870Which Genichiro?
>>740178961Lightning Genichiro
>>740166254>even6 was the last game in the series
>>740166069i don't mind slower pace but it's way too easy every time i started to have fun the fight ended
>>740178992He was a proper cunt the first 30 times around.
In the original games the main thing that gave the combat depth was positioning, it was a vital part of surviving but in this game it's just completely gone with the enemy agressiveness turned way down and the ever-present shoehorned in parrying mechanics that are mandatory in every modern action game.
Just emulate it.I'm playing Onimusha and Fatal Frame rn through retroarch and I'm unironically having a blast Great on steam deck too..
anything is better than whatever try-hard shit those faggots at fromsoft make
>>740166069>take fixed camera hack and slash game>turn it in to soulsborne clone #9001why even use the onimush name at this point?
>>740179149>was positioningNo the fuck it wasn'tThe MAIN thing that gave the combat depth was Issen.Secondly>muh parry Deflecct Issen has been fucking core since game 1.
>>740177296Yea think onimusha games aren’t really know for being hard hell I beat 2 when I was like 12
>>740166069really? everyone is shitting on it on this thread. i think its cool, it has a lot of potential. those spiny lizard enemies were cool, if the game is full of special enemies like those, the combat could be very cool
>>740166552Milds isn't optimized at fucking all LMAO. They just gutted textures and created massive popin by heavily gutting the config.ini
>>740180092
>>740180167I meant that they ate a lot of shit because of how botched it is in that department, so now they at least tried to make the next game run decently.
Demo's main problem is its too short, basically just the tutorial. They should've added like a random harder fight you can jump into after the first bit of the demo.
>>740180113What I liked about those guys is that if you parry the first one you fight he spins out of control and gets stuck in a wall
>>740180385yeah and you can also parry them and it spins into other enemies. that's cool
Yeah it's not good, but they're releasing so many games this year that one of them was bound to be at the bottom of the pack. Unfortunately it seems like it will be Onimusha.Maybe the full game will be really good and have surprises and a challenging difficulty, but the demo was not good.
>>740179149>In the original games the main thing that gave the combat depth was positioning, it was a vital part of survivingNo and you never played them. Positioning meant absolutely nothing. Issen completely removes any aspect tof positioning. Onimusha larpers need to stfu. This franchise was always piss easy with an automatic "fuck you I win and insta kill you" button since the very first game
>>740180854 like you could instantly kill most mobs with you hit them the split second before they hit you and you were rewarded with more orbs if you did it so never get why anyone thought someone said it was hard
>>740177268The oni knife thing seems to get through their guard.
>>740177268use your other attack button when they are blocking your attacks. they can only guard agaisnt light or heavy attacks. you are supposed to realize that and then alternate
>>740180092>kunitsugami asset flipTSUJIMOTO PLEASE STEP DOWN
>>740180271Ah yeah I gotcha their future games are more optimized true.
I think it's more promising than DMC5 or Requieum on account of being more than just memberberries.
I played all the oni games on hard and they're all easy except for the demon realm floors sometimes being hard
>>740180092this looks bad
>>740180092>me after admitting i was wrong
>>740166069In a world where Sekiro and Ninja Gaiden 4 exist, I wouldn't even play a garbage game like Onimusha Way of the Sword if I got paid for it.
Sekiro buckbroke Onimusha
>>740184548Capcom dicks down Fromsoft on the daily kid.
>>740184528>JJKYou're a turbofaggot.
>>740166821at least that means it will drop in price fast
>>740166069yeah, i think this game is really good, im really glad they finally gave onimusha what it really needed, they turned the protagonist from a jap, to a hyper realistic jap
>>740184528>>740184985One Piece shits all over every Shonen. It shows your low IQ level if you disagree.
>>740184528What’s stopping you from playing all of these games together? Because played all of them myself except nioh3
>>740166069I liked the depth-ness of the combat, cool setting but:>piss easy, except for Ganryu>looked really bland, no color at all, DMC5 used the same engine and that game looked way more vivid>hardly any exploration>thank God for the voice option, didn't sound right with that Scottish accent or whatever it wasI know that it's a demo, but I was expecting a little more.
>>740181425That’s anon did not pay attention to the pops up because it says that
https://youtu.be/1MSfd07Kp4I?t=43I dislike the way the cutscene just ends.It feels like it was going to zoom out until the player is in frame and you gain control again from the same shot. But instead if just hard cuts and resets the scene once you gain control.
>>740178580Nioh games always get nerfed from the demos.
>>740180113Back in the day people shitted on Dawn of Dreams for being different so people being mad is consistent
>>740184528JJK shows you are a zoomer and probably brown
>>740185991Back in the day GoW, DMC, and Ninja Gaiden had franchise fights. I played all of them and enjoyed them for different reasons. I do think the fights between franchise is even worse now though
>>740184528
>>740187078Nioh 1 had the largest amount of changes. I got to be in every test and I was on of the people critical of the durability system
>>740185991>What’s stopping you from playing all of these games together?Good taste and standards.
>>740166069The last onimusha game was 20 years ago. Im just glad its not roll souls slop. At least not completely.I do wonder about enemy variety as the demo only had like 4 enemy types. Also I dont understand how the blade fury mechanic works.
>>740185854Toji mogs entirety of JJK and One Piece characters.
This is the most desaturated game ive ever seen holy shit there is ZERO color on screen
>>740175558The mechanics are slightly more complicated, thankfully and no stances. I hate how the demo gives you the mechanic to use an ultimate but you dont actually get enough blue souls to actually use it if youre just charging through the demo.
Decided to try Onimusha 2 since I liked the original a lot, but I'm not feeling it. How is 3?
The main character reminds me of Ash from Evil Dead. Just a knucklehead.
>>7401886453 removes the fixed camera and has the mc of 1 returning but combat is still an evolution of 2
>>740180329Or some arena mode where its just enemies. Something where we can play around more.
>>740166069It just works
>>740184528>press x to awesome gaiden 4 in true gamerlyl
>>740188832Retard
>>740189641post your 100%.
>>740185854One Piece hasnt been good in over a decade.
>>740172178because they learned nothing. Onimusha is a corridor game
Damn. He got me. My shame is eteranal.
>>740172178Too much outsourced coding, and they didn't prioritize unfucking it over the regular title updates
God, I wish I were him.
>>740177268You're supposed to use one handed and two handed and mix to guard break. Its literally that way to punish people who just mash one sane attack or repeat same string like light-light-heavy. I assume that "story" difficulty allows player to guard break by mashing.
>>740166069Ganryu is raping me
>>740180092Is this on lowest settings on PC? I played demo on Series S on performance mode and it looked better wtf lmao.
>>740177553this shit is so immersion breaking
>>740166069I thought it was surprisingly good. It was definitely a little easy, but it's also a demo and it's not like I didn't get hit or anything. Ganryo killed me too, because I panicked and mashed buttons like a 'tard. I never found the main content in the first three Onimusha's terribly difficult.I'm more annoyed at the constant objective reminder like I could be at all confused on what I'm supposed to be doing.
>>740186172Agree with pretty much all of this. It does seem like there will be more to the combat later on which isn't too bad.
>>740188906I'll try to keep at 2 for a bit longer. The first boss just felt very spongey and frustrating with the camera changes, though. Nothing in Onimusha 1 was that annoying (other than the timed puzzle bit). The friendship simulator angle doesn't do it for me either.
>>740176963Honestly I'm ok with that. I'm sick of every modern action game trying to have "soulslike difficulty".
>>740184450Heh
