Am I the only one that didn't like the demo? The game just felt like an uninspired souls parry slop game. I can't believe that capcom slept on this IP for so long just for them to turn it into another souls game. Yeah sure it still has issen attacks but it's still barely distinguishable from other modern games. The overwhelming praise behind this game seems so artificial as well but I guess capcom has established a cult of zoomers now.
I assure you you're not the only one
>>740317324I liked it, but I understand the complaints.
parryslop with a bunch of bizarre bells and whistles mechanics
Its not very good and that seems to be the general census; no the demo is not a 6 year old build and the final game is gonna be completely different. What you see is what you get so if you dont like overly animated and momentum designed parry spam slop then skip it.
>>740317420why even bother having multiple enemies on the screen if you only fight one at a time
>>740317324No, it was way too easy
>>740317324The demo was ass.
>>740317324this is what GPU manufacturers want you to upgrade for
>>740318209yeah even with DLAA enabled I was only getting around 80 fps at 1080p with a 5800x3d + gtx 4070. absolute clown show of a game compared to pragmata.
>>740317420Jesus christ this looks terrible
I liked it much better than pragmata, at least it felt like an action game. Pragmata was so fucking boring I was thinking to myself "man, how long is this demo??" Because I was miserable playing it.
Its the best game Ive played since wuchang fallen feathers
>>740317324>soulslikeWTF. It's supposed to be DMC clone.
>>740318830>It's supposed to be DMC cloneWRONG! Onimusha is supposed to be Samurai Resident Evil with Demons. Not whatever this is
>>740318830Soulslike is supposed to be challenging, this is game for journalists
>>740317324Onimusha wishes it was half as good as "an uninspired souls parry slop game". As it is now, it is an absolute garbage game, only tasteless shitters would enjoy playing this new Onimusha.Sekiro mogs it hard.Ninja Gaiden 4 humiliates it hard.
>>740319593>this autist is still around NG4 is total shit by the way. also surprised to see you enjoy Ueda's games, didn't see that coming
The demo wasn't good but it also wasn't a good demo, if you know what I mean. Literally just felt like playing the opening section of the game with a bunch of PRESS THE ATTACK BUTTON TO ATTACK tutorials, it's very possible that the final game is way better when its introduced more mechanics and difficulty, but the demo did a terrible job of selling you on the game
>>740317692It has dynamic difficulty so if you die enough times/play like a bitch it lobotomizes the enemies.
>>740319872>NG4 is total shit by the wayNG4 is one of the best games I have ever played in my life, it was a purification for my gaming soul and raised my standards to a higher level.Mondainai <3>also surprised to see you enjoy Ueda's games, didn't see that comingUeda makes unique games, love his minimalism. Without Ueda there would be no Miyazaki, so I am grateful to Ueda for that too.
>>740317324No??? Almost everyone disliked the demo.
>>740319109Onimusha has always had journalist mode difficulty.
>>740320769go to the steam forums and see the nonstop glazing and capcom dick sucking. it's a literal cult.
>>740320429>NG4 is one of the best games I have ever played in my life,sure shill
>>740318972You've never played the original games. They're stylish hack n slash where you collect red orbs to buy abilities and healing items (sound familiar?). 0 in common with Resident Evil, despite supposedly originating as a Resident Evil spin off (which was also the case for DMC!)
>>740317324I enjoyed, but it was way too fucking easy and the art style is completely devoid of color. Path of the Goddess look prettier and it was practically just a side project.
>>740321417You collect herbs and solve puzzles in a haunted house. Sound familiar?
>>740318209Must be the MH Wilds/DMC team and not the Biohazard/Pragmata team. It doesn't even have path tracing. Copying the shitty graphics of Nioh? Probably, they're all so fucking retarded.
>>740321417the first game was very much RE inspired with puzzles and a big castle full of locked doors. The originals even had tank controls. They were 100% inspired by resident evil but just more emphasis on the action and combat.
>>740321598So was the first DMC.Both Onimusha and DMC were born out of failed attempts to create RE4.
>>740321581Nioh is very colorful. Even when you go into the dark realm it feels like there's more contrast. In Onimusha everything just has a faded, grey look to it.
>>740321549kunitsu-gami was the FUCKING GOATFUCK CUNNYNATA
>>740321549did a different team work on this or what? any idea if they're working on something new within Capcom? hope they get to make more unique shit
>>740321549That game seemed pretty cool, but I got filtered by the dodge button being L3.You could remap it but it felt like a standard controller just didn't have enough buttons to handle that game.
>>740317324Same. It was painfully average for the grand return of big franchise after decades. If wasn't Onimusha name it would probably went unnoticed because there are lot of samurai and demons games around there. I really hate how parry again is a mandatory mechanic. It was supposed to be closer to DMC with evasion and spacing.
>>740322176I revamped L3 to circle button dude. Game is easy to finish, especially when you can grind, only some challenges and true final boss can be tricky.
>>740322291Onimusha was the original parryslop game, so I'm not mad they focus on parrys. They have a good spread of parry types, though. Just in the demo you had your perfect parry, the directional parry, just evade for unarmed attacks, grab evade, and clashes.The problem is how huge the window to perform them is. Compared to the original Onimusha where you had to be on point, you can sleep through this one.
>>740322660I played 3 and 4 and can't remember any boss having a mandatory parry, always used dodges and spacing. Normal enemies were piss easy but boss required perfect parries.
>>740322660onimusha only ever had just guards for easy issens which was entirely optional. the reboot gives you multiple parries and counters as mandatory mechanics now. this reboot is just a mishmash of every popular game from the past 15 years and it doesn't do anything particularly well.It's a damn shame the series is going to die again because capcom would rather copy the industry instead of trying something new like pragmata.
>>740322808They weren't mandatory, but if you weren't doing them, you were playing it wrong.They were so not mandatory, they were practically a hidden feature in 1.
>>740317324this game has the dragon's dogma 2 problem where there's a lot of interesting things the combat is doing but the game is just so fucking easy there's no need for them. capcom is absolutely terrified of making hard games now, it's so fucking frustrating.
>>740322975The enemies are too passive. But it's the first area. I can imagine it getting more hectic as the game goes along.It better anyway.
>>740318209Kind of bland compared to Onimusha 4 on PS2, which was giant spectacle,
>>740317324It was very average.
>>740317324It's not very original, not much of an onimusha, but it's the closest thing I'm getting to a Sekiro sequel so I'll accept this slop.
>>740322291>grand return of big franchiseWas Onimusha ever this? Always felt like a B-league capcom game to me
>>740324873onimusha was big back then and had a lot of famous actors. it was one of the original big budget games to feature celebs play as characters ingame and from what I remember there was even supposed to be a movie to go with the first game but it never came to fruition.
>>740317324What did you want, exactly? It has the same mechanics as the older games.
>>740317324Its kinda shit at first but when you get to the boss it becomes very fun, the shit difficulty is the problem, the animation is so fluid that it will look cool when facing many enemies but they just go 1 by 1 it fucking sucks
>>740317324I liked the game I hated the boss. The boss battles are quick time events just hidden better and people unironically like this shit
>>740317324I was surprised by how much I like it. You do have to like parry mechanics to enjoy it, but they're also extensions of mechanics the series already had. I also don't think the demo is indicative of how hard the finished game will be. Demos are meant to give anyone and everyone a taste of a game, and what they give you here is clearly a bunch of tutorials for the mechanics, all in a row. I don't remember the original games being notably difficult either, not including stuff like the enemy survival portal thing in the first one.That said, I'm split on the art direction for the genma. It's creative and cool looking, but it also looks oddly cartoonish compared to how they used to look. I also hate the current objective reminder at the top of the screen. It's obnoxious and unnecessary, clearly there because it's part of the language of making games at this point which is horrible.I hope you guys continue bitching about the demo difficulty, though, because the worst case scenario is that they actually hear you and react accordingly.
>>740321762No cause DMC has a mission based structure. There's no backtracking or puzzle solving involved
>>740317324I love that it goes all in with the cool factor with attacks-parries-oneshots but it's wasted for how easy the demo wasReminds me of that never released MGR demo
>>740327069>I hope you guys continue bitching about the demo difficulty, though, because the worst case scenario is that they actually hear you and react accordingly.Difficulty won't change how boss battles are just boring QTE battles. If you put it on easy the button you need to press literally hovers over the bosses head like how QTEs used to be
>>740317324>ParryslopYou can't parry if enemies don't attack you.
