>ign 10Is the game really that good?I played the demo, and the game was incredibly boring. The combat system is way too simple, and the enemies are a breeze to beat.I don't get what the point or fun of this game is,the story?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzhDUq2ZD7k
>Action game gets a 10 from game's journalistsjesus christ how piss easy is it?
The demo was a tutorial, I'm not surprised it was too easy.
>>746577905>>746577810reviewer in the video also gave Ninja Gaiden 2 Black an 8 due to "Fewer enemies with more health"https://www.ign.com/articles/ninja-gaiden-2-black-reviewlikely reliableunfortunate name combination tho
I thought RE engine was incapable of physics, but this game seems to be designed specifically to prove that statement wrong. Lots of interactivity in the environment, and I'm sure the difficulty can be ramped up. To me it looks like we have a great action game on our hands here.
>>746577905What the fuck are you talking about all the big action franchises get good critic scores
>>746578454name 3 (THREE)
>>746577914Didn't they add a level to the demo?
>>746577810it was insanely easy but at the same time i got the impression that the demo was just one long tutorialeither way the game itself was high quality, if it just gets deeper and harder then yeah i can see it getting high ratings
I never doubted, Requiem and Pragmata were two of the best games this year
Everyone is saying it's good. Capcom has utterly fucking won 2026.
Would have had more interest if this wasn't a parry game.
Yeah i'm thinking character action is BACK
>>746577810Guess it's time to check this series out
Phantom Chink Zero lost.
>>746577810So it's on the same level as Starfield? That's amazing!
Shit. I didn't expect this to be better than wolverine.
>>746578178>While I have a hard time calling it the definitive release because I prefer the original’s “more dudes who are more aggressive but die faster” approach, Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is a definite improvement over the Sigma 2 releaseHuh. It's rare seeing a journalist make this type of statement on a review
Capcom is on a generational run right now
Geoff should have a best Capcom game at the Game Awards this year for the lulz
>an ign writer had to challenge himself by not using consumablesGrim
>>746578501Trick question, there are only two big action franchises(DMC and Bayonetta).
is this like the most obviously botted thread ever. even as someone mildly interested in this game what the fuck are most of these posts
>>746579190I didn't expect it to review better but even if it's the worst game in the series it would still be better than Wolverine.
>>746577810they're just handing out 10s at this point
>>746579009IGN gave Starfield a 7
>>746579398>Getting fucking mad because the games goodKys dude
Do they mention if there's any unlockable difficulties?
>>746577810>The combat system is way too simplethats how these games start and then you get upgrades
>demo is piss easy>IGN reviewer says he beat without using any healing item, you can heal through boss staggers>you don't unlock a higher difficulty until you beat the entire gameThat just sounds like a drag, you know this game has tons of side content compared to past Onimushas. >"Bro just speedrun your playthrough to get to the real difficulty!"No thank you, if the game is that easy and $70 I should get a hard mode selection from the start.
>>746577810Onimusha was always an extremely shallow franchise carried by kino cinematics.
>>74657781010!? This is surprising to me considering how fucking awful the demo was
>>746579471Most people I have seen said the games harder than all other Onimusha games.
>>746579502I bet there will be day one mods to unlock it. But I do agree we shouldn't need mods.
>play through the game to get a ((2x enemy hp, 2x dmg taken)) mode
>>746579546Not doubting, but other Onimusha games still have unlockable difficulties
What's up with these Euro cuck outlets always bringing Japanese made games score down?
>>746578501Les Cousins DangereuxCarson Clay's Playback TimeVerum Rex
>>746577810The demo was not very good. If IGN love it that means it probably stays super easy the entire game.
>>746579764Not enough pink haired lesbians
tine to go on social media and grift! "IGN gives Onimusha a 10, looks like woke crap. when will game journalists learn to not talk down to gamers!?
every new big budget game that's somewhat functional is a masterpiece until it's forgotten month later
>>746577810>I, me, myself"why does the reviewer sound so full of himself. He's not talking about the game hes talking about him overcoming the game like he's the main character.typical IGN hiring incompetent people.
The demo is piss easy, but the secret boss you unlock after 10 Issen is pretty motherfucking hard though
>>746580082Repost as a greentext, screenshot and post on Twitter. You're welcome anon. PS - use anime pfp
>For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be perfect for 10 seconds. To write the perfect sentence. One that sings, captures hearts, evokes emotion. To make the perfect play, to eradicate the gap between body and mind and live a complete life in an instant of pure movement. To be, for just a moment, free.Can these reviewers ever start with something besides some dumb personal anecdote or an anecdote from something they did in the game?
>>746579546Honestly not difficult to achieve, the older onimusha games were more like old RE games with easily exploitable enemies,
>>746577810Onimusha's demo was a 6/10 at best.What does it do special in the full release to warrant a perfect score?>>746580113Yeah, sounds like he got his ass handed to him in Sekiro and Lies of P and this is the one that clicked (read: was easily beatable) and made him full empowered.
>>746579471I'd be surprised if there wasn't any, that kinda thing seems like a Capcom standardUnless it's not ready for launch or being withheld for a later patch to use as promo material
>>746579546>Most people I have seen said the games harder than all other Onimusha games.Really? Based on the demo that seems hard to believe. Like sure you could add more difficult enemies but the deflect window being so forgiving makes me not really know how they could make it that difficult.
>>746580437At least in the older games the issen window changed per enemy and move. When I first played Onimusha 2 I thought they just made issen much easier in general but as I made progress some later enemies were not nearly as forgiving as the initial ones you fight like on your way up the mountain to the mines.
>>746580381Also wondering this, I completely wrote the game off as a wait for sale after the demo. It seemed easy and low budget. I also HATED the dialogue and voice acting. Even if it's good, I hesitate to buy another 10-15 hour long game for $70 after Resident Evil Requiem and 007 First Light. Neither had much replay value at all and I doubt this will either.
Reviews look positive overall.Now, who's ready for the inevitable Onimusha Warlords Remake?
>"oh shit everyone's making fun of us because of how easy the demo is">"quick add a special fight on a difficulty that is explicitly exclusive to the demo"Between this is MH Wilds, why is nu-Capcom so scared of making their games hard? Even infernal RE9 had the babby mode knife
>>746579471There's a "Carnage" difficulty after you beat the game.
>>746580536>At least in the older games the issen window changed per enemy and move.Ah if that's the case then yeah I could see it getting harder.
lol
>>746581134>MH WildsWilds is hard?
>>746581134There is a "carnage" difficulty setting.
>>746581280Is that Mork?
>>746579398You are just mad that we are having a blast
>>746581312Read again anon
>>746581280>coherent interconnected space>deliberate restricted movement Lmao, I remember how I had to back track every single location in 1 & 2.Who's this fucking idiot reviewer? so I can block him everywhere.
>>746577810Nah, is full of cheesy anime quotes.
iSomethread said that the new Onimusha was pretty much rollslop, is that true or not?
I really really really really really really hope it gets super stupid the further in you go
>>746581134>why is nu-Capcom so scared of making their games hard?InvestorsCapcom designs and releases their games entirely by what they think investors want. That's why Wilds and DD2 launches turned out so terrible.It's not as noticeable when the games are not huge open world projects, but it happens with pretty much all their games.
>>746581318more of a venom guy desu
>>746581607There isn't even a roll mechanic in the game, however said that is really stupid, probably indian.
This is a reboot, right? Don't need to have played the other games?
>>746577810What are the chances this is like 8 hours long with zero replayability?
>>746581134Capcom doesn't have that many genuinely talented game designers.Like, their recent crop of RE games have difficulties setup like this>EasyBaby mode, impossible to die>NormalSlightly ascended baby mode>SUPER UNLOCKABLE 666 EXTRA HARD MODEEnemies now two shot the player, they have triple the health, and you are expected to play the game relying almost solely on the gimmick of the title (RE:3 it was the dodge, RE:4 it was the parry, RE9 it was still the parry)
>>746578378>I thought RE engine was incapable of physicsFucking what? The only thing DD2 improved on was the physics.
>>746581825And ladderst. your pawn
>>746581816Its apparently pseudo open world with some gay RPG padding so you'll be happy with it
>>746581816None, since everyone says the base game is between 20-30 hours for the first playthrough.
>>746581280Written by someone stuck playing action games from 15 years ago
>>746581818Agree with you 100%, but in this game it should work, the combat is that well designed.
>>746581972Almost all the good ones released 15 years ago
>>746581816It's an 3 hour game with 20 hours of mandatory walking
>>746579283With one good game this year?
Only 1 kat is just a deal breaker man, remember when Samanosuke and Jean Reno get to wield bunch of weapons and it's not just stupid rechargeable skill?
>>746581280>>746581512>>746581972This is a KOTAKU review, BUAHAHAHAH, no wonder it was so shit.
Reviews sound good, but I just did not like the expanded demo enough to buy at launch.
>>746577810I just finished demo and it's painfully average. Average graphics, average art direction, average gameplay. For a big return of legendary series that was going toe-to-toe with Resident Evil during the Millennial reign, I expected far more. Either they are shilling or the game is much better later.
>>746582234Oh sad, I guess you can fuck off from this thread now?
>>746581818This is true but Onimusha 2 already had the Issen mode where only Issen can kill enemies. It would just be staying true to the series.
>>746577810A 10 from ign means the game is either brown, gay or a casual game masked as hardcore game.
>>746577810>game is insultingly easy>IGN gives it a 10/10How very curious indeed.>"Otou-sama, if you keep me here, this will only be the beginning of my wicked Way of the Sword."
yeah and Resident Evil Requiem is the best Resident Evil game of all time
>>746581798Anyone?
>>746579502fair complaint, not having hard mode from the start sounds like a bummer
>>746577810Don't care not playing it, if you want to make a soulslike make a soulslike and give it a new name don't fuck over an old franchise by completely changing the style of game, if the series can't stand as it was then let it die, bring back fixed camera third person action games
>>746581825I didn't play DD2 because the first one was one of the most boring games I've ever played.
>>746582092yeah, musashi was already in an onimusha game too and he dual wielded katana there
>>746582397The only people saying otherwise are severe autists who get mad about plot in RE games
Just beat Onimushas 1 and 2 over the weekend before the new one drops so no one can call me a poser, just don't ask me about 3 and 4
>>746582302Why so mad? Are you a woman or nigger?
>>746582429It's not a soulslike.
>>746582429>bring back fixed cameras for action gamesThis is kotaku levels of stupidity.
>>746582546it's parry slop so yes it is, it's tagged soulslike on the steam page even>muh tagsmore people would call it soulslop than not your autistic hyperfixation on minor differences doesn't matter
I just hope the Onimusha mode is fun to use. It's always been too basic.
>>746582530Why are you still in this thread if you're not interested in the game, and no one here is interested in you shit opinions.
>>746582648Yes it worked for multiple console generations, zoomies don't need to dig up every old franchise and remake it with modern sensibilities
>>746577810IGNore them
>>746582508what about Oni3, tactis and blade warrior? Dawn of Dreams can go into garbage bin
>>746581892New heights status?>>746582454>the first one was one of the most boring games I've ever played.Sorry to hear about your mental disability, anon.
>>746582714It was a compromise due to the technology, my as well ask for more loading screens because old games had it too, lmao.
>>746578178People hate on ign, but lately I read some of them and I tend to find most of their points fair.Too much water was also fairStill to gung ho on the 10/10's tho
>>746582656Sekiro is a proper action game. Soulslikes are defined by clumsy primitive combat that revolves around i-frame rolling. I couldn't give less of a fuck about what dimwits on the internet are saying.
>>746581312After updates yeah
>>746582427I don’t mind it if hard mode is tailored around having a full kit from the start, hopefully it’s like that with late game mechanics and enemies in the first areas.
>>746582706Because this board is for posting opinions on games, both positive or negative. I couldn't care less how much you are interested in my opinion low IQ nigger. Take tampon or something.
>>746582863They're a lot better than other publications imo and have a couple of people in there that are really into their specific genre. Like there's one who's completed Ninja Gaiden games on Master Ninja. Of course not always that they give specific games to the reviewer that you'd think would have the most nuanced and experienced position, but oh well.
>Caring about reviewer opinions instead of ruthlessly bullying themCringe /v/indians
>>746582234>For a big return of legendary series that was going toe-to-toe with Resident EvilAre you fucking demented? In the 6th gen, RE4 came out. Onimusha was never competing on that level.
>>746582993>press button to become invinciblevs>press button to become invincibleoh yea so much better
>>746582993>Sekiro is a proper action gameNah I don't agree, it's too action adventure, too long and still has too much souls design DNA.Great game though, where the fuck is my sequel? They really put in a sequel bait ending and just didn't follow up on it the fuck
>>7465824719 was trash because Nakanishi is a terrible director and only 7oomers and brown turdies obsessed with posting AI Grace art say otherwise.
>>746577810There's no fucking way. That demo felt like a 7/10 at best...
>>746582656Can you precisely define what "Soulslike" is?
>>746583081>I didn't like this game>I'll stay in the thread anyway Pajeet
>>746583228A game that would have been called a hack n slash before souls became a genre
>>746582656Is DMC3 a souls like? Be honest. Bear in mind it has:>Timed parry/deflect system>Checkpoints where you can use them to save, spend points to increase your strength>Using these checkpoints respawns enemies
>>746583208I've played every mainline RE game, don't care about Grace coomposting and I liked 9What now
>>746583304No one calls DMC5 a soulslike.
>>746577810>self-imposed restriction to not use itemsthis + not attacking outside of issens is unironically the only way to have fun with the demo
>>746583351>I've played every mainline RE gameAfter you played 7 you zipped through the series and played each game once.>What now9 is still mediocre at best.
I hate these bossfight simulatorsthe rest of the game is just trying to get to the boss
>>746583161You'd have a point if deflecting in Sekiro actually made you invincible and if it wasn't involved in a back and forth with enemies where you posture break them.
>IGN likes a non western game with gameplay and without woke shitwhere is the trap?
>>746583646Reality: I've beat all games on release order (including both scenarios on 1), and 2 4 5 multiple times.
>>746583750>only played a few games multiple timesCasual. The reality is that 9 is boring, full of horrible "cinematic" hide and seek shit, and that Leon's segments are just a shallow imitation of his gameplay from 4 set in a very boring nostalgiabait arena.
Literally how and why? I played the demo and actively disliked the game. Piss easy, zero depth. Floaty as fuck. Linear, boring level design.
>>746583737The game never gets harder than the demo. If you have not tried, feel free to. It is extremely easy. Capcom is giving game journalists the easy/story difficulty Souls clone they've been crying for since 2018.
>>746583881Just keep moving the goalposts, it's cool, nothing wrong with that
>>746583921that sounds cool actually
>>746577810>+50 capcom bonusI'm sorry but the demo was ass
>>746577810It's 2026. Why the fuck do you place any value in "journalist" scores? Jesus christ dude.
>>746583921>The game never gets harder than the demoDefinitely does.
>>746578178Seems like a based reviewer, I'll trust him
>>746584183People place value in scores because it's shitposting material. Doesn't matter what the score ends up being, shitposting material
Shill Up's review actually covers the downsides of the game, repetitive mini bosses and side content.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VK4FwpKMBho
>>746584285What in the 8.8 are you talking about
>>746584315He still said it's good and worth getting. What's this obsession with wanting the game to be bad? Is this coming from other fandoms that are insecure over it? Grow up.
>>746584036What goalposts were moved? You lying won't stop you from being a 7oomer. No one who actually grew up playing all the games pretends nakanishi games are anything other than zoomerbait trash trying to capitalize on the popularity of games like Outlast and Amnesia, or that the cinematic scripted shit isn't terrible.
>>746584315Somehow I trust this dude less than IGN.
Any details on the NG+ Carnage mode? If its some stupid gimmick mode like in the REs then consider me out, unless its an issen-only mode which might b cool
The reviewer is like "OH MY GOD THE GAME MAKES MY PP FEEL GOOD WHEN I TIME MY ATTACKS AND GET MUH DOPAMINE ANIMATION!My favorite part is how his review is based on a self-imposed limitation of not using healing item.
>>746577810Demo felt like your average shitkiro parryslop and og onimusha does not play like shitkiro
>>746577810so a 10 out of 10, there's no better game than this? no issues whatsoever with it?
>>746584478Shill up is definitely not reliable.
>>746584315He also confirms the game is super easy throughout. It's so fucking over.>>746584221Nope. ShillUp talks about it in his review. Regular enemies never get harder than the demo, and the demo bosses are as hard as the bosses get. He literally spells it out that the game is only challenging if you try to make it challenging by restricting yourself to only using Issens.
The Chinks lost to the Japanese. Cope retards.
Play real onimusha sequel
>>746582863The problem is that IGN is many people. You get some good writers, some bad. There's obviously editorial oversight but as long as the review is within the ballpark the big wigs like, you'll see good reviews from good writers.
>>746579553More like a preorder bonus like every other dog shit game capcoms made since re2r
>>746584752>My favorite part is how his review is based on a self-imposed limitation of not using healing item.So like any DMC player talking about the series?
>>746584830Nobody knows what the review scores are meant to signify. You just kind of intuit them and hope others will agree. Do not think about it.
Capcom just keeps on winning. 3 good received single player games in 6 months and an expansion to DD2. Is anyone else in the industry even working on trying?
>>746584932The only similarity is the setting. Love both series, but they're not that similar. I think Onimusha is closer to Ninja Gaiden Black than Nioh.
>>746584752It feels disingenuous. Like reviewing a Pokemon game based on a Nuzlocke. Overall the review reads like>yesss i beat the game by forcing myself to play it in an unintended manner>10/10 game for a 10/10 gamer like myself
>>746584752>>746585112>Even IGN had to intentionally make the game harder for themselves to enjoy it because it was too easyHoly fucking shit...
>game is too easyalready fixed
>>746577810Capcom bonus, nothing to see here
>>746585409>having to download mods just to make enemies and core gameplay interesting or funlmao. Sad.
>>746577810https://www.metacritic.com/game/onimusha-way-of-the-sword/Just read the pull quotes and imagine putting IGN's on your boxart and trailer to sell your game.>For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be perfect for 10 seconds, and Onimusha understands that desire. >Out now for 69.99 in your local game store.
>>746585528>For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be perfect for 10 secondsJust get a girlfriend then
Nioh? LostPhantom Blade Zero? Cheap Chinese slopOnimusha? Kino
>>746582454youre missing out bro, DD2 is an absolute blast.
I think i will buy wolverine instead and get this on sale.
>>746577810>>746585528
>Play the demo>Feel bored while playingHonestly will just replay classic Onimushas again, master the Issen in those games and if I ever feel like it, I'll check this game out after the honeymoon phase if the impressions are still good. I heavily enjoyed Pragmata but parts of RE Requiem was just ass.
I liked the demo.
>>746577810Damn…Capcom just can’t stop winning huh?
>>746585739I'd do the same if I was a beta and cucked.
>>746584462Calm down, Raj.

>Exoprimal>Monster Hunter Wilds>piss easy OnimushaCAPCOM CAN'T STOP WINNING
>>746578767What a shitty year then.
It's pretty cool. It was a bit easy if you were waiting for a dark souls game but I like it.It has that Capcom polish I like.
im getting it just to tell capcom that they can rely on their other IPs that aren't monster hunter, resident evil and street fighterdeeply regretted getting requiem, should've gotten pragmata or kunitsugami instead
>>746585739Wolverine is a lot shittier, unfortunately. I'm waiting for a sale on both.
>>746586701Requiem is their best game this year. Pragmata and this are still good.
if they gave it a 10 then it's either too easy, too woke, or a mix of a both.
>>746585057The new Onimusha looks remarkably similar to Nioh 3 in many ways which is funny because they were made at the same time and so it's probably accidental.>Both take place in Kyoto (at least only half of Nioh 3 does)>Both have a somewhat open world structure where you have a main quest but can run around and do side quests, get collectables>Both have a Japanese spirit priest lady helping the protagonist>Both have skill trees>Both cities in both games have red evil demon material growing out of the ground taking over the city
>>746586773I don't feel the same. Felt like two halves of different RE games smashed together and neither reaching its full potential. Grace has 1 (one) gun type.
Is this game more of a pure action game or an action RPG?
>>746584859did he play ng+?
>>746577810>80$ in my countryhow about no
>>746577810>ign 10It means there is some woke sprinkled in
>>746577810Do I need to play the other mushas first before this?
>>746577810>trannycomOf course their games get sucked off.
>>746587198You should definitely play the first three games because they're all pretty good.
>>746587020Looks like there's skill trees, items and simple equipment to find. Not sure if there are stats to level up. So definitely some action RPG elements but not with the depth of something like Nioh.
>>746587198They play completely different and the story are not related that it doesn't matter.
>>746587198I flushed the first game because there's a segment where there's like 6 consecutive puzzle rooms where each one has an unskippable cutscene at the start and if you fail any puzzle you have to go back to the start and watch all the cutscenes in each room again. I have no problem with puzzles at all but a game which has that level of disrespect for the player's time can fuck right off. The second game is better and I did like Dawn of Dreams quite a lot even if it feels very different/detached.
>>746587405>a game which has that level of disrespect for the player's time can fuck right offYou don't even care about your own time when you post your irrelevant opinions here.
>>746585753>light modeare you retarded?
>>746587020Definitely leaning more into the action territory.
>>746584468>only coomers and newfags liked the game>i'm neither and played all games>no you didn't, you played everything after 7>no, i played all games in release order>LIES LIES LIES IT'S A LIE ALSO YOU'RE A CASUAL BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T REPLAY ALL OF THEM YOU'RE LYING AAAok
>>746577810The term masterpiece is used too lightly nowdays, not even Onimusha 1 and 3 ever earned a 10/10. Based on what we´ve seen combat on this looks pretty good and up to those games, the whole defend, parry, evade thing was already a trademark of the original series and seeing it polished certainly seems fitting. Focusing on Musashi and basing the depiction on Mifune are good ideas as well. I´m not a fan of the art and level design though, for what i´ve seen nothing particularly stands out or feel interesting. Some of the side characters looked lacking too. He also didn´t mention music at all, i don´t believe i heard the IP signature song either so it´s either unremarkable or the reviewer felt it was unimportant. finally he didn´t mention platform specifics or compatibility issues. Some people have not upgraded nor intend to upgrade to windows 11. If you are going to give the game a 10 you really need to talk about objective artistic and technical stuff. Saying "I had fun with it" and making a review purely around your subjective experience and self imposed restrictions seems biased at best.
>>746587474Clearly the time of the employees at Capcom was so valuable they couldn't spare any to implement a basic cutscene skip functionality, so thank you for filling in for them and defending their shitty work so they don't have to take the time out of their busy schedule. And you do it for free, even.
Does it have a semi open world like Wukong?This tranny assfuck review doesnt show shit.
>>746587726Maybe stop sucking at puzzles like a retard so you don't cry like a bitch next time.>And you do it for free, even.Gladly. When I see some idiot crying about a puzzle I did on my first try when I was in middle school, I can't help but shit on him.
>>746577810The demo was surprisingly decent and not one I dropped after 10 minutes like many other recent games. Still won’t buy it for anything over $15.
>>746577810Stop posting ign slop scores you dumb faggot. kys.
>>746577810It's a 15 hour game with no replay value, like Requiem and Pragmata. It looks fun but I'm not spending $70 on that after squeezing two playthroughs out of Requiem in the span of a couple weeks and never touching it again. It'll be great for around $30 I'm sure.
Who else here /blasting/ on Friday?
Seems like its not worth getting day 1 as its a bland game. Will get it at Christmas when its down to 40 bucks
>>746588296>Pragmatepragmata has no replay value, you are just a fucking pedophile
>>746587868I failed one time on the 5th puzzle after doing all the previous ones flawlessly. It sent me back 20 minutes to do all the puzzles again and watch every cutscene at the start of each room. Whether it's 2001 or 2026 that is bottom of the barrel absolute dreg inhuman dogshit game design. And you didn't do them first try in middle school, cunt.
>>746581798It's completely standalone bruv, enjoy
>>746588604I've never even played Pragmata. But it clearly looks like a 15 hour game with no replay value, which is what I said in my post. Learn to read before accusing me of being that you fucking retard.
>>746588604We say pdf file now.
>>746588604The NG+ playthrough was fun.
>>746579283>endless remakes, rehashes and sequelslolcapcom was good in the 90s when every game they released was a new IP.
>>746581280perfect for the modern Capslop fanboy
>>746577810That's pretty cool and everything but are there any hot bitches in the game? even if it is a 11/10 I don't care if no babes.
>>746577810Did they shove "the message" into this one?
>>746584859>Shillup ta-Stopped reading right there
Sekiro is king
>>746581280>a focused resource systemYou had a couple healing items but if you were good you could use issen to heal since it always gave you yellow souls.That's it, that was the resource system in old Onimusha.
Do you people not have faith in Capcom making good action games? Are you fucking stupid?
>>746582380the guy that reviewed for ign says he played it all without items. seems like the bosses are no pushovers either
>>746582508oni 4 is the best one, by far
>>746577810Combat system felt like an improved Sekiro it was just too easy.
>>746585926kill yourself nigger
>>746581280>deliberate, restricted movementYou mean shit controls
>>746581280Why is everyone mad a correct review
>>746589943If an IGN employee or any other gaming journalist needed to actively hamstring themselves or avoid using healing items because a game was already too easy for them, then the game must be easier than modern Yoshi and Kirby games.
>>746590717There has never been a game that was of satisfactory difficulty without the player actively hamstringing themselves.
>>746590896That's not true at all. Maybe true for your retarded ass but there are plenty of others that have satisfactory difficulty.
>>746590941No examples? No argument.
>>746590896Extremely lame attempt at deflecting and damage controlling over this game being laughably easy.
>>746589729>faithRetard, we have all played the demo.Did they scrap everything and make a new game?No? Then shut up about "faith".
>>746583737>without woke shitGanryu looks like a flaming faggot.
>>746590985Onimusha 1Dark SoulsShinobi (2002)Ninja GaidenViewtiful JoeResident Evil 4Tomb Raider 1Metal Slug the MGS games in general have satisfying difficulty optionsNot all of these are hard but they are satisfying for what they are trying to be
I love how the Capcom boss in the response video was like "we deliberately gave the player tools in the demo they wouldn't normally have, the full game will challenge you".An action game where enemies don't fight back is a sin. Especially one that has four different defensive mechanics.
>>746587405This nigga got filtered by the puzzle room lmao literally 70 iq
>>746591671>An action game where enemies don't fight back is a sin.Anon just confirmed all DMC games are trash.
>>746591947DMC3 is one of the hardest games on the PS2
>>746585727Blastposters are shit eating subhumans.
So >>746586410 is not a shitpost? grim
>>746592510Nope. The 10/10 review almost tricked me, but my decision to wait for at least a 50% off sale after that demo remains.
>>746592510I never believe checklists like that from /v/. People here have a weaselly habit of making them and sprinkling in truth, half truths, and lies to seem more legitimate.
>>746587634>YOU'RE A CASUAL BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T REPLAY ALL OF THEMThat's right, zoomer. That's how I know you didn't play them on release.
>>746593628I accept your concession
I'll wait for the Electric Underground review for the real verdict
>>746577810most reviews say it's piss easy but still great. how does that make any sense? action games are meant to be hard
>>746591947https://streamable.com/vax8c7
>>746577810Capcom can't stop winning
Capcom seems to be releasing a lot of games that appeal to the games media. Resident Evil 9, Pragmata, Monster Hunter Stories 3 and Onimusha all seemed to get very high scores from reviews this year.
And /v/ continues to selectively trust IGN,
Gameranx's review, even he states the game gets much harder compared to the demohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1zvS1gsAbc
>>746592253I will be buying Onimusha and the DD2 expansion on day one, can’t wait its gonna be a blast for sure.
>>746595318I dont trust IGN but I do trust CapGAWDS
even the trolls will admit this looks absolutely kino. i love the thunder/wind god motifs in jap vidyahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC98G2mdUbg
>>746578178borger hehe
>>746595348This guy just shills everything desu. Its very rare for him to be critical of anything. He's always just like "everything is great and wonderful :) "
Talk me out of it, i did enjoy the demo.
uh ohlast game to get a ten out of ten was Mixtape so it's just as easy....
>>746595562This. Giving Mixtape a 10/10 totally destroyed their review scale as why didnt games like say Resident Evil 9 and Pragmata get a 10 if Mixtape did
>>746595114Man, you really DEMOLISHED those tutorial enemies. Now try that against the secret boss.
>>746577810I'm playing the demo, just got to the expanded stuffIt's fun, and I really like the dynamic cutting on dead enemies. I wish the took longer to disappear so you could appreciate the cool cutting tech more. And weren't the old games a lot about charging attacks and releasing them at the right time? There aren't any charge attacks in the new one at all
>crapcum trannies are so friggin dumb they soiface like crazy when they see a 10 score from IGNHoly fucking shit lol.There are only 3 cases when something like IGN gives a 10.1. It's extremely basic and accessible while giving instant dopamine bursts with no effort2. It's highly woke and the creators are in bed with IGN staff3. There was a generous "donation" involvedSimple. But apparently Crapcum subreddit is that delusional. Oh well, guess there will be lot of obnoxious trannies larping as "huge onimusha fans" while crapping on anything that isn't a modern game or demake, like it happened with RE.
>>746581134Casuals need to feel like they're gods who can beat any game.
>>746595683Capcom games fall into the number 1. They dont really fall into 2 and 3.
>>746595562Fucking this. Why are crapcum simps this dumb?
>>746595683and thus a new schizo retard is born, looking forward to seeing you in all the onimusha threads for the next few years
>>746595835>S-SCHIZO!!!Yes, I know that retards of your breed love screaming that shit. The question one should ask now is "why are you here instead of staying on Discord?".
>>746577810i played the demo this game is not a fucking 10/10 lmfao
Demo was ok. Never played the originals. Should i?
>>746577810This thread just made me realize how jaded 30 year old men are. Shame
>>746596349if you had any idea what the demographics for the opinions shared here were you would shit yourself, if you think the shitposters are in their 30s you are retarded
>not taking IGN ads seriously makes you "jaded"Lmao
>>746582057Pragmata was fun. I'm not a RE fan so I can't speak for RE9.
>>746579620Already know people will make this immediately accessible on PC.
>>746577810Thanks, bought it for my Switch 2.
Never has a demo made me give up on a purchase faster than this game's. Enemies just politely waiting for their turn to die was hilarious, and the boss at the end was a sad joke.
>>746595317>Monster Hunter Stories 3First timer and I've never been so bored by a game with so many steps.>RNG until you get the egg you want. >Get more eggs of the same money or element.>Boost their level in a battle>Release them in the area you want>Now you unlocked a mutation (Ivory Lagiacrus)>Get more of the mutation/element, level them and release to get it to S rank>If you want a usable mutation you better grind until you get the gold/rainbow egg>Easy enough, just go fight one, paintball it, and you get unlimited egg pulls. Right?>You cannot fight mutated monsters >Waste a ton of time mindlessly grinding for the gold/rainbow egg>The monstie egg is pretty fucking rare>Go fight Invasive monster>Raise and release endangered Astalos>S rank the Astalos doing the above again..>The special map mutation monstie Boltreaver Astalos needs three S Rank electric mons>Spend more time S Ranking two others>Now that you unlocked it you probably want its egg>Guess what? You can't fight it like the Ivory Lag>Waste time hunting down rare eggs and even rarer gold/rainbow rarities>Repeat for the other three areas in the gameThis game was such a slog. Imo any game where you have to RNG grind until you get the result you know you want but the game makes it take an artificial amount of time is badly designed (multi-step too nonetheless). It's just braindead playtime padding.Don't get me started on Stamina in that game.>Player character gets to do two moves and he's left doing basic attacks or blocking>Same for monstie but you can just build a roster of dupes or others that have the same element and swap>But oh wait, your team buffs don't transfer to your new monstie (like any RPG)I hope you like using Stamina pots.
>>746595614>the secret boss.You mean the late-game boss you fight as an underleveled character and on a NG+ difficulty? Wow, I wish I stayed in the tutorial!!
>>746577810If "games journalists" love it then there's got to be something wrong with it.
>>746581280Only Onimusha 1 had a focused design. And they were all piss easy.
>>746586701Kunitsu-Gami is the best game they've made this decade
>>746596349There is literally nothing wrong with being a jaded bitter cynical man in your 30s.
>>746583921>An action game that isn't overtuned dogshit like Dark SoulsFucking finally, are we moving on from that?
>>746585496Keep telling yourself the grapes are sour, consolekek
>>746597960We're moving on to undertuned dogshit?
but weeboids and tranimetards on /v/ told me western outlets were biased against the japanese?
>>746598258Not to Capcom. Capcom makes very west coded games. They dont really make anime weeb games.
>>746588493blast it out your ass
>>746598310true, onimusha is incredibly western coded
>>746595545Why? There's basically nothing of value there unless you're just buying it for the steel book case in which case understandable. I went for the Lenticular Edition personally.
>>746595540If I'm not mistaken, that channel is almost entirely AI generated at this point. He had AI clone his voice and just uses that to shit out easy shill videos that praise every game so he gets paid.
>>746577810It’s a Japanese game so the standard is much higher. It has to be truly amazing to get a 10 from western reviewers.
>>746580923There are so few proper action games worth trying. You can easily play them all if you care about the genre at all.
>people like a game>/v/ comes up with increasingly idiotic reasons why it's the worst game everA story as old as time.
>game is so easy a journo of all people felt the need to do a no consumables runidk man, that plus the piss easy demo just doesn't bode well.especially the second part of the demo was 70% running through a corridor with I think no more than 3 enemy encounters. what magic trick could the final game possibly pull that would repair the damage done?unless the second part of the demo just straight up doesn't exist in the full game.
>>746579283This. Capgod domination for the decade
So what is it doing to get a 10/10 that Resident Evil 9 and Pragmata didnt do? RE9 got a 9 and Pragmata got an 8.
>>746577810Same score as Mixtape lol.
>>746601920it's a sword game with easy parries which makes it an automatic +2 for normies because of how badass it makes them feel
>>746577810>>ign 10lol. Reading a IGN review is time wasted in your life since their reviews are worthless.
>>746601920Different reviewers
>>746602271as opposed to reading 4channel let alone posting
>>746594031he is gonna rip this game apart
>>746591671>Especially one that has four different defensive mechanics.This was my issue with the demo. IIRC there was basically no other option for attacking than just mashing attack, since light and heavies didn't seem to have noticeable differences from each other. I don't really like that, but it's not too bad if they want a more reactive game, and given the plethora of defensive options that definitely seemed to be the direction they want for the game. Then you get into combat and the enemies are so passive you don't ever use any of those defensive options unless you purposefully don't attack.Even the boss at the end you just used the basic parry and it staggered him so you can just mash attack.
>>746602898Yeah, I can't wait for Mork to pretend to be an Onimusha superfan this whole time and then center his whole rant around a made up term like "circumspective challenge".
>>746602898oh. my. god. girl he is gonna tear it up
>>746579190You didnt? lmao. This game looked cool in the trailers and played well in the demo. I enjoyed it a lot. The parry and dodge system seem very polished plus the dismemberments are fun.Wolverine sucked ass grom the beginning and has nothing going for it.
>>746577810I found the demo stupidly easy but the secret boss was actually tough, but the way the demo screams at you that its a challenge not present in the full game is weirdlong story short it needs a kick up the ass difficulty
>>746577810God damn it now I have doubts
>>746577810It looks like what Nioh should've been all this time
>>746605857why?
>>746605964Because less options, zero customization/variety and no challenge is... actually good for an action game!
>>746577810>replay all four Onimusha games>barely die outside of a few bosses and that stupid timed puzzle in 1>have a great time >play the demo >get too aggressive with Kojiro and die once, beat him on my second try>neat, it’s about the same difficulty as other Onimusha games on normal difficulty >go online, hundreds of trannies crying about muh difficulty>NOOO IT’S NOT LIKE SWORD SAINT ISHIN, IT’S NOT LIKE NIOH 2, ONIMUSHA IS RUINED I’m so sick of posers who have never touched a single other game in the series wanting this to be something it has never been. Genma is the one challenging Onimusha game, and unsurprisingly, it’s divisive among Onimusha fans. Onimusha is more cinematic and atmosphere driven than something like Ninja Gaiden. This is like going into Yakuza threads (another cinematic action series) and complaining that it doesn’t have the difficulty of God Hand. The worst part is the reviews are actually saying that the second half of the game is hard as fuck, so if anything, Capcom are still pandering to soul trannies. I expect like Genma, this game will also be divisive among real Onimusha fans. I’m so sick of Souls trannies dictating the direction of every single action game now. Elden Ring being a huge success has been a disaster for anyone who doesn’t always want to play overtuned bullshit.
>>746591820And how high does your IQ need to be to defend unskippable cutscenes
>>746606956how am I supposed to find an game about combat engaging when you don't need to pay attention to the combat?
Get fucking mogged crapcom, try making your action game have enemies that attack next time
>>74660722110/10 btw kek
>>746607221interesting score considering how shit nioh 3 is, but yea at least it has enemies that attack
>>746607132The original Onimusha games were still engaging despite the simplistic, easy combat because of the atmosphere, art direction and style. They were cinematic games like Yakuza at their core. Don’t like cinematic games? That’s fine, this isn’t the series for you, go play Lies of P or something and enjoy dying 40 times to the same boss with 3 health bars. Not everyone plays video games for epeen reasons.
>>746606956the enemies are literally braindead in the demo. it’s not even a matter of the game being too easy because there’s basically no difficulty at all.
>action combat game is so easy a GAME JOURNALIST can beat it without using healing items >10Uhhhh.....
>>746577810>ign 10Why do low iq golems take so much stock in IGN? Even by game journo standards they’re an absolute piss rag, engage in compromised access media practices and take marketing money to promote games and products they review on their site. Anyone that takes any of their reviews seriously, positive or negative should be drawn and quartered.
>>746578602yes, and a special boss
>>746607317Nioh 3 (and Rise of the Ronin) was great, though. You just didn’t like it because it wasn’t designed for the 1% of autists that completed Nioh 2 100%. Thank God TN finally realized that loud annoying autists on the internet don’t represent most of their customers.
>>746607408Why is it either >cinematic or>masochistic with you? I simply want a game where you have to turn on your brain
>>746580082You know, if you're a faggot leftist cuck there's so many other sites you can post on
>>746607564I didn't like it because the open world adds nothing to the game but tedium and they gutted the challenge from both regular mobs & bosses alike and ninja/sam mode are poorly thought out in general and guardian skills are a step down from yokai abilities and its basically a step down in every metric I had hopes for WL2 but lol more open world slop
>>746607564>and Rise of the Roninit's fun for a Ubislop style game
>>746577810Onimusha is definitely woke with that score
Are there nods to the others or secret weapons or a dark realm ?
>>746607564I never completed anything past ng in Nioh because I don't care about meaningless stat increases on le epic loot. sorry to break your delusion.
>>746582863I remember how a tranny reviewer from IGN absolutely savaged Civ VII
>>746608434Civ 7 is trash
Capcom parrying is like Arkham parrying
>>746581421>MorklolLmao evenThat larper doesn't play CAG.
>>746607574I didn’t hear too many people complaining about Devil May Cry 5’s difficulty, despite normal mode also being very easy and brainless in that game (with the exception of maybe the final boss.) You know why? Because everyone that has played a DMC games knows that it would have unlockable difficulties. Everyone that has played an Onimusha game (basically no one in these threads) also knows that the series has unlockable difficulties. Too easy for you? Then unlock Carnage difficulty, go spend hours mastering one boss and quit bitching already. The few Onimusha threads that 4chan used to have were a nice place to get away from annoying From Soft troons, now I have to share a thread with you fags, it’s very disappointing. Stranger Than Heaven seems like it’s trying to pander to Souls fags too. I’m sure Yakuza threads are going to be fun once those subhumans start shitting up the threads.
>>746609067I was actually going to bring up dmc5 as a good example since you can pick hard from the beginning and while it is easy, you still need to pay attention. Also I don't care if a game's fault has a grandfather clause, if its too easy, its too easy
>>746579283>remake remake sequel remake sequelWow
Where the fuck is the Ducktales sequel?
>>746609281The gameranx review already said that the latter parts of the game are as hard as any Fromshit game and that he expects a lot of people to swap to story difficulty. Which makes these discussions about difficulty even more irrelevant. The demo was in a tutorial area. It cranks up as it goes on. There’s even a much harder difficulty for giga autists once you beat the game. The game seems like it was designed to cover all skill levels. I don’t think anything else needs to be said on this issue.
>>746610357Thanks marketer-kun
>>746577810I like how you can be in a 1v5 fight and the enemies will wait their turn one at a time
Yep I totally would rather let it be>I like how you can be in a 1v5 fight and the enemies will stunlock me
i'm trying to understand why retards shit on games relentlessly and i think it's because they don't want to feel obligated to play a game or suffer FOMO
>>746610475this game is Arkham slop except you 2shot enemies instead of taking a minute to ko them
>>746610475This but unironically. Some combat systems are not equiped for dealing with ganks and so when they force ganks on you it's just not fun. Look at Black Myth Wukong.
>>746610562this game has omnidirectional parries, issen, dodges, there's literally no reason why enemy should be waiting for their turn
>>746610626>Some combat systems are not equiped for dealing with ganksok but this one is.not to mention that if your game isn't made for gank fights, you shouldn't fucking put them in there in the first place only to then have to lobotomize themfuck man /v/ is so retarded. zero standards
>>746610748thing that is fun > thing that's not funDon't care about anything else.
Damn brat!
>>746610446I wish I were marketing. If anything, I’m disappointed to learn that yet another series seems like it’s selling its soul in pursuit of From Soft troon money. Knowing the second half turns into overtuned, unbalanced bullshit is making me reconsider buying this until it’s on sale. Gook shills on here convinced me to play Lies of P and it was one of the most miserable experiences I’ve had in years. I only finished the stupid thing out of spite and so that I could better shit on it whenever some gook starts up on here about how “kino” it is.
>>746610804OCUNNY
>reviews come out and confirm that the final game gets much harder than the demo>shitposting about muh easy difficulty dies down>most discussion diesKek, /v/ really does just hate video games and wants to see them all fail. People here were expecting for a massive flop so that they could shitpost for hundreds of posts and now that it’s confirmed to be goty material no one care anymore. Tortanic was the worst thing that ever happened to this place.
>>746611664no they're still talking about how easy the demo was.
>>746611664>expectingDurr, hoping. Feel free to call me brown for that massive typo. My point still stands. You fags hate video games.
>>746611664Did you expect less from a place who genuinely believes GTA 6 will flop?
>>746577810its not goodsome noob at ign liked it, thats allthe demo was boring, youre right OP
>>746611664>Tortanic was the worst thing that ever happened to this place.
>>746577810>Onimusha: Way of the Swordmore like Onimusha: Way of the SNEEDLOL
uh oh that means mork and his cultists are going to performatively hate it
>>746611881I think GTA 6 looks kind of boring desu. But I just don’t bother posting in those threads. The people making hate threads every hour, day after day, are genuinely not well.
>>746578178he gave 9 to ng ragebound9 to cairn, denshattack
>/v/ doubted capGODs
>>746580232here's his troonsky profilelolevery time with these faggots
>>746582863People only hate IGN because they refuse to give Xenoblade anything higher than an 8 despite it being an objectively 8/10 franchise lmaoTendies are raving lunatics for thinking Xenoblade even compares to the best games in the JRPG genre, and they'll burn you at the stake just for telling them this. The only based thing Dunkey ever did was make fun of these obnoxious idiots for having an inferiority complex.
I'm very curious about it, because I really do love Onimusha, I even played Tactics (eh) and Blade Warriors (super underappreciated, really fun). This demo was kind of iffy to me though. I really don't know. This is really a question of do I buy it soon, or just wait like I do for RE.
>>746613187Nazis are bad and should be punched. I don’t see a problem with this.
>>746577810I've been watching a lot of reviews and only the IGN guy seems to know how to use issen which is fucking crazy to see that the only competent guy is from IGN, and also he gave it a 10. I am boughting this now unironically.
>>746610475That's interesting. I didn't really notice it consciously during the demo, but now that you mention it, there was times I was eyeing the Lizard guys during group fights, trying to set up an Issen like I did in the old days, and they'd just stand there.
>>746577810>dude the game's good because i feel good about myself for playing it like a retardThis is probably the most sus 10/10 ever.
unhinged TDS, someone should email IGN that one of their writers is openly calling for assassination
>>746594031>I'll wait for the Combat Overview reviewFtfy
>>746613447When he said "nazis" he actually meant anyone right of Stalin.
>main character is apparently modeled after Toshiro MifuneAm I just face blind? I’ve seen a ton of Mifune flicks and I had no idea it was supposed to be him. I guess they really do all rook same.
>>746613745erm based?
>>746613949they used his face when he was youngergo watch stray dog, absolutely kino movie
>>746613949I don't watch movies, but even without that I could tell the model was a pretty distinct face. Just like the older games I guess.I wish they had just used Jean Reno again for some reason.
>>746614160I have seen Stray Dog (definitely kino.) I guess I really am face blind. Damn.
>>746614224I never liked the France setting in 3 but did like Reno’s inclusion in it. Always wish they had just kept the Japan setting but made him a sailor or merchant from Europe or something. Could definitely have been used as a new character in this one (but it probably would have led to confusion for those that actually played the old games.)
>>746614225nah i dont recognize him either
>>746614346The France inclusion in 3 very much felt like "We're now successful enough to do what we want, and I want to go take photos of france and work with Jean Reno."Though I didn't really mind it or the time traveling nonsense. Still probably the worst game outside of Tactics.
shills talking up mifune comparison never saw mifune movies either
>>746613530I played 1 and 2 recently and the enemies just stand around in these too, except for the red dudes in 2
>>746614474I've only watched Hidden Fortress
>>746614385damn I can't believe they made mifune do goofy faces...
>>746614474i've seen every movie with kurosawa, the musashi trilogy, and shinsengumihonorable mention to sword of doom despite not having mifune
>>746614918>sword of doomAbsolute kino. They should face scan Nakadai for future Onimusha games. >implying there will be another one
The Gamespot review told me what I needed to know when they gave this a 7/10>The game blows its load a bit too early, essentially you see everything "new" with the game 8 hours in and the next 10 hours is just fighting the same thing in different configurations>plus you repeat some boss fightsSo it seems to be a DMC4 type of deal where the combat is solid but you won't be really dealing with anything new and more than half the game is basically a combat trial, which for an action is hardly the worst condemnation.If the combat is fun, then the game just letting you go wild with it and keep fighting isn't too bad.
>>746614918>despite not having mifuneas the protagonist*
>>746615091i can see them doing that, dude just died last year though so it's going to be another long negotiation
>>746577810>the demo was extremely easy>full game ended up having much better difficultycalled it, for me Pragmata's demo was the same and the full game ended up being decently more difficult. Never judge a full game by its demo.
>>746615410>this is how I found out that Nakadai diedDamn, RiP.
>>746577810why does a game have to be HARD and not FUN?
>>746614474I actually watched a bunch of Kurosawa and Mifune films in preparation to playing this game.I liked Kagemusha and Rashomon the best from what I watched.
>>746615102Some reviewers seem to absolutely love it and some were put off by the repetition and the hub area exploration and quests. I’m a sucker for these settings and good combat (which is the thing most seem to agree on) so I’ll probably still give it a shot. I don’t think it’s going to perform that well, though. I feel like the average gamer is getting sick of feudal Japan.
>>746615718For me it’s Throne of Blood and Yojimbo. But I don’t think they ever made a bad movie together.
>>746613447Firstly is what this guy said >>746613832But also that it's just pathetically performative.
>>746615839I can stomach repeat encounters so as long as the combat is good and I definitely didn't get to really practice as much as I would have wanted from the demo.Still, I'll probably wait for a sale.>getting sick of feudal JapanBeyond AC: Shadows and Ghost of Yotei, what else was there?
>>746613745Who the fuck is still defending drumpf in big 2026? He's a proven jewish plant after the epstein file leak and the iran war just like everybody else from the left or the right. Is this what you call sunk cost?
the bonus boss was fun although I don't really have the rhythm of combat down, like what's the different between the timed raising guard and the manual timed guard? Or the blue post dodge attack and the red post dodge attack?
