So I've literally been waiting for this game for 20 years. As soon as the anime dropped on netflix out of nowhere I thought "Holy shit maybe we will get a new Onimusha". Brought out my copies of 1-3 and dawn of dreams and played them all in order. Even played the smash bros clone a bit again.Blog aside, my point is, does this game actually start to feel like an Onimusha game at any point? I'm at the first boss battle I guess against the rival samurai dude and so far it's alright I guess. Just kind of feels like sekiro which I didn't enjoy much either. Yes I'm butthurt because I've spent the past hour fucking up the ddr fight sequence with him (It's not hard, it's tedious)I'm disappointed with them making the other weapons be a push r1 at full magic to win. I'm worried the enemy variety won't be much. I don't care for the British VA or subtitling. I want to like this game, I REALLY do. It just feels....off. Does it get better?
no, sadly
>>747070860Mom can we have sekiro?
>>747070860The bosses are pretty good but it's not an Onimusha game.
>>747070860>does this game actually start to feel like an Onimusha game at any pointsince minute one
>>747071186How so
>>747072209It is Onimusha, but it's not classic Onimusha. Those days are long gone. I hope you can find peace and happiness in the future.
>>747074857Can cap at least bring back other weapons? I get they spent a lot of money on the resheathing animations, but I'd like to at least have some of the complexity back. Does pushing forward or back on the joystick even do anything?All of these skills required various inputs and had use in various situations.
>>747075816And that was one character out of five. Each having 4 or 5 different weapon types that had different combos, speeds, parameters, etc.
>>747072209because it plays like onimusha
>>747075816No, sorry
>>747070860I saw one retard review this game claiming to be an Oni fan and he said that the story is good in this one because the old ones are really predictable and boring.Like nigger Oni 2 has a fucking robot horse out of nowhere and you turn into a super saiyan to fight the devil what the fuck are you talking about poser nigger.3 has fucking Jean Reno in it and a modern time segment in Paris what the fuck is predictable about this
>>747070860Do you see onimusha classic as resident evil wig katana? Are there onimusha clones or re melee clones? (needless to say I'm making a re classic clone with melee and just last week discovered onimusha classic on Snoy market)
>>747070860Do you really think the chads that made Onimusha 1-4 are still at Capcom?Nu Capcom sucks dick and the modern games are so bad in general that a game that works (something that used to be the bare minimum) get's praised to high heaven.I can't believe you fell for it and actually bought this crap at full price.If you haven't already, treat yourself and play the original Japanese version of Dawn Of Dreams(which still has both dubs and English text available) that doesn't have fucked up balancing and grinding introduced by the retards that worked in the western Capcom division.
Parry that slopBut my enemy turns grey-blue and now i have to dodgeNow he turns grey- red and i parry with ABamham / 10. Gaming is better than EVAR!1!1 THIS GAME KICKS SO MUCH ASS THIS IS DAR FUTUREE THE ANIMATIONS ARE INSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAINEPOGGERS AND BUTTON LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BIGN BIGN BIGN WAHOOOOOOOOO
Kyoto is a big chunk of the game and easily the worst part
>>747070860>I'm disappointed with them making the other weapons be a push r1 at full magic to win.I didn't buy it just because of this.Upgrading new weapons was one of my favorite thing in the past games.I will buy it on sale later.
>>747070860It's wokemushaSpending money on this game is like putting cash into a donation box to support some moron with a face like a Korean trying to make a living in North America. You don't need to worry about that sort of thing, just focus on your life.
>>747083327Nice try, but Musashi is *literally* Mifune
Am I the only one that absolutely despised 4? How can people classify that shit as "classic onimusha"?
>>747070860I'm in the same situation as you. Onimusha 2 was among the first three 3D-games I ever played and I've been asking for a new Onimusha for years. I bought the game without looking at the trailers or playing the demo, and realizing it's just parryslop stripped of many of the features I liked was a big disappointment. Failed that first boss like 10 times.I'm a bit further in now, about 5 or so bosses in, and am trying my best to get better at the combat. The combat tutorial trials you unlock at about the point you're are a good way of leaning the timing for parrying, which is essential to not getting your ass beat. Definitely do that.But yes, its missing a lot of the stuff I loved about the series. No memorable area themes so far, barely any horror atmosphere, turned down the goofiness, unsatisfying weapon upgrading and soul absorption, no proper elemental secondary weapons, no puzzles... It's very different. I'm starting to get more into it now though, and try to appreciate the things I do like about it.
>>747083672because it's a direct sequel to 3, and modern onimusha only came into existence recently
>>747083841Yeah, but if fucking played like DMC 3.
>>747083672Roberto is recovering so he can punch your face in. Is was their magnum opus.
>>747083672I didn't despise it but it had some really shitty parts to it that's for sure
>>747084008How? It had no aerial combos? Are you mad about the challenges? >>747084395Too much backtracking.
Are genma insects a thing?
This tard Swillo has been sperging constantly about the game since it released because it's not a character action game kek, he hasn't even played Onimusha beforeGod I hate CAGfag posers so much
I'm 100% certain that ranged issen doesn't work properly
It's kino (I didn't play it yet)
>>747071127Now junior, I told you we don't allow dog shit in this house :)
>>747085351I dont understand a single word you posted.
Zoomtard here, I've been playing Warlords recently and really enjoying myself. The only issue is that I suck donkey dick at doing Issen. Is there any particular pattern I should be looking for? I feel like I only manage to pull it off on accident. Also, I want to impregnate Kaede.
>>747085473Yeah. Meanwhile, I can dodge counter arrows just fine.
>>747084824Yea they've been a thing I think since 1, remember the bee lady from one that needs shipuu to kill her.
>>747085473Sorry bro, you just need to git guud, it the hardest of the issens.
>>747085916Use big sword magic
>>747086037Dawn of dreams has couch co-op
>>747086037OH MY FUCKING SCIECE TGHE ANIMAAAAAAAAAATIONS THATS OD NEW GAME HASS DA SAUCE
>>747086037Thats not onimusha
>>747086507Shut the fuck up. The adults are talking.
>>747086693lesbian oldman
>>747086826Oldman karateman to you. 36 with every American copy of onimusha and they all run on my ps2. Why should i bother
>>747086608I take Onimusha 3 is not Onimusha either?
Hijacking this thread. Is it possible to cross here on your first visit? I didn't find a way in the demo, but maybe it was just me
>>747070860>I've spent the past hour fucking up the ddr fight sequence with him (It's not hard, it's tedious)I don't doubt that you find it tedious but if you spent an hour failing to beat it, it is in fact hard.
>>747087227You are retarded. >>747087338Congrats. I want to spam the fire strike. Dawn of dreams touched on greatness with them having couch coop. Im a bit drunk. Its labor day in ame4ixa. Authenticity
>>747086037hory SHET man, i just need to get the wonky grafix optimized properly
>>747087253what faggy language is this? portugese?
>>747075816Bro is complaining that it doesn't feel like Onimusha while propping up Dawn of Dreams.
>>747087807Blacked ships
>>747083672I liked it, but nowhere as much as 1 and 2. 3 is my least favorite and 4 felt kinda like a spinoff. The pre-rendered backgrounds and horror vibes gradually getting phased out really rustled my jimmies.
>>747083672It was fucking trash and no wonder Onimusha died if that was the direction they wanted to take it.Roberto was cool though.
>>747087807Italian
>>747087863Yes.Im sorry did you fall in with some retard who claims the first is the best? Have you even played a single onimusha?
>>747070860You're stuck in the first 20 minutes of the game, just give up, you're not gonna make it. Go ahead and just claim the game is woke or whatever so you can justify dropping it and not have to reconcile with the fact that you're a low skill nostalgiafag who can't land a single issen >stuck at the first ganryu fightLol, lmao even. Just had to greentext that for good measure, never change /v/
>>747085916Issen is pretty hard, except for 4, it's piss easy there. 2 gets a bit easier for the basic enemies and the auto chain issen you get from charging is OP, but in 1 you just need to git gud.But the issen window gets bigger if you're moving while you do it, so constantly strafing to the sides while waiting for the move is preferable to just sitting there waiting to press the button. Just hit side to side while waiting, it's a big difference.
>transparent dressHOLY SHIT
>>747086037Idk, I like classic onimusha better
>>747088063All of them except the new one (only played the demos for it so far). Dawn of Dreams is far less Onimusha than Way of the Sword and it's not close.Genma and 3 are my favorites, edge to 3.
My onimusha is one that has rpg elements, co-op, multiple combos Bah it's a waste. Happy labor day
>>747088290>3>favorite I remember feeling disappointed with 3. Where did I go wrong?
For me, 2 was best Onimusha2 > 3 > 1 > DoDNone of them were bad per se, but there were some clearly better ones
>>747087253no, you'll have to wait until you unlock wallrunning.
>I am Minamato No Yoshitsune, Blade of the Genji Clan and I have never known defeat.Really Capcom...
>>747089175Musashi and Ganryu are cookie-cutter cliches. Wouldn’t surprise me if everyone in the game acts in that same uncanny fashion.
>>747083327>seething zainichi devs replace chad jomon with yayoi impostermany such cases
>>747088602I don't know, most people seem to think 2 is the best and I think it's by far the weakest of the original trilogy. So if you think 2 is the best too then it makes sense to be disappointed I guess.
>>747083672There's apparently plenty of people that have no taste like you so don't worry, you're not alone. DoD was the best and one of the best games on PS2 in general. Yes, it's not like the other games in the series, that is correct because it's a spinoff. It's just a spinoff that was way better than the main games.
>>747075816The other weapons didn't add complexity.
>>747070860>the rival samurai dudeThe fact that you call him this and don't know who he is means you don't know shit about Musashi/samurai lore and that you're just another retarded turd world kid trying to fit in by complaining about new things and pretending to like old things.
https://youtu.be/L3qs56ojocUImajo, home...
>>747087253No, and don't make the mistake of going back there immediately after getting the leg upgrades because they don't let you do it until you do the first mandatory wall run. I think the place just has one power or oni stone.
Okunny... so pretty...
Am I retarded or do the other pouches not show on the map? Ive only got 4 and im just before the final quest
Man, the oni abilities are so fucking bad>swords give too health orbs to really help>whirlwind can only kill things that would have died to a hold B>hammer is the only good one>pocket sun would be cool if hammer didn't exist>spear's extra orbs gimmick is not worth the effort>sword does fuckall damage
now that the capcom shill contracts have ended I can safely say it's not that good
Why the fuck would anyone play this game in English
now that the capcom shill contracts have ended I can safely say it's really good
>>747086037Looks very lazy
>>747092214To not lose focus during combat, cause Musashi and the bosses have a lot of dialogue.
When do you get a new oni weapon beside the first two? Just met Murasaki.
I don't get how to play this game. I kinda get that you deflect with weapons and dodge things like kicks but I don't get how Issen is supposed to fit into things. The game confuses me on what tools I'm supposed to prioritize in different situations and I don't feel like it's very intuitive so far.>t.never played an Onimusha game before
Boss fights aside, how's the enemy's AI? I played the demo and usually they just stand around and do nothing. Is there a hidden difficulty after you beat the game?
>>747093362The game LITERALLY tells you...>dodge unarmed attacks>deflect projectiles & ranged attacks>parry the rest until you're in blazing state>now switch from parry to deflect to deal massive posture damageIssen is git gud, cool looking option to deal massive damage at all times
>>747093362As >>747093708 says, Issen is the "Cool Guy" option,you can afaik Issen 90% of the attacks in the game, including projectiles.
>>747093708>>747093824So Issen is just deflect but does more damage but harder to pull off? So which I use between the deflect and Issen is just up to how well I can pull it off?
>>747093898Issen is literally “heh nothing personal kid”.It looks cool and you should be trying to do it as much as you can after beating the game. You can get by on deflects/parry/dodges but if you wanna look cool you need to learn how to issen.
>>747094091I'll do that then. I plan on doing a 2nd playthrough on the harder difficulty anyway. Also speaking of how difficult actually is that mode? The reason I've not really bothered with Issen's so far is cause the game is pretty easy so far so I've never felt the need to change things up.
>>747092473Kek, has tighter frames than sekiro parry. Okay kid.
>>747093281Next one is in the forbidden lab area
>>747092141Post game time and hand.
>>747070860>As soon as the anime dropped on netflix out of nowhereNormal people don't think like this or talk like this.
>>747094170Animes hit harder, you can die in like two shots. It fun. Bosses will devil trigger regardless as well.
>>747094170>a 2nd playthroughI can't image myself runing around collecting bullshit to upgrade my character
>>747070860>OP filtered because he can't tell a parry from a deflect
>>747094436You can do NG+
>>747093362one thing worth noting is that it seems like the devil trigger mode massively increases the issen window. So whenever you activate it, feel free to gamble on issen.
>>747094779I try not to rely on the devil trigger, i’m trying to master the way of the sword.
>>747094779noticed that too, and testing to see whether the introspection amulet widens the window even further
I just beat Ifuu and Burai, how much more of the game do I have to go?
I only played Onimusha 1. Therefore any game that deviates from that is not an Onimusha game. That's right, 2 is not Onimusha and this dating sim shit is GAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
>>747070860>I'm at the first boss battle I guess against the rival samurai dude and so far it's alright I guess.you mean the first tutorial, you fucking retard? after the intro cinematic? you haven't even played it and you're on here concern trolling.
>>747092218well…I personally am having an absolute blast desu
>>747096524you're about 80% done
is the damage really low if you don't interact with the sidequests? i don't really like the game i just want to finish it but it's taking me like 6-7 stuns to kill a random portal mook
>>747097482 i'm talking about the demon before the cringe dance, the one with the sword. Also i also had to stun the fat guy a bajillion times .Man this game sucks
There's an anime?
I don't get the Issen timing
>>747096619>any game that deviates from that is not an Onimusha gameBased.
>>747098205max level sword only deals 2x damage.>>747100893It's pure nonsense, every attack has different windows. For example Yoshitsune's AOE stomp is super easy
>no third fight against GanryuWhat the fuck, Capcom? It's always the rule of 3 for the rival
>>747101217 that's for the sequel
>japanese "humor"
>>747070860>It's not hard, it's tedious
>>747101468give the guy a break, he's still in shock that his utterly nonsensical plan worked out.
>>747101468>ancient jap dude doin ancient jap danceit hurts not having a culture other than ebonics huh, murrican?
>>747100959>every attack has different windowsoh so I wasn't going crazyhonestly the way I dit was learn it for one attack every boss and that's it, makes the combat more cinematic and doesn't render the other tools obsolete
>>747101468>me when the characters aren't all stone cold white dudes or father figures with anger issues
>>747101468It's honestly nice having an antagonist whose just a complete and utter piece of shit. The game doesn't even try in anyway to make him sympathetic and all you want to do is punch his damn face in.
Why oh why didn't they just make it a linear action game.
>>747070860>s-s-s-stop shitposting :(:(
>>747101830When he punched the fuck out of dokyo on the bridge I kekd hard. Very impactful and well directed
>>747083672It's awesome but only the jp version.
>>747101839because when they did with dmc5 people bitched it was a sub 15 hour game
hmm actually I won't be buying Capcom's latest shill campaign!
>>747101839it's baffling, they have such a good rep nowdays they had no one trying to push the "dollars per hour" on them and still decided to do this...
>>747101839Because people would have bitched about Capcom charging full price for a 10-15 hour game, so we got that and 10-15 hours of padding.
>>747086037>souls never fuck off like in the original>you don't even need to stop walking to suck them in
>>747093362>>t.never played an Onimusha game beforeanyone who like this awful reboot didn't play the other games.
Uhhh DLC when? It sold pretty well.
>>747101839jeet normalfag too retarded to pirate still think a longer game is ""more value""
>>747102171I played everyone except dawn of dreams. Don’t care let me just issen in peace.
I can't get Issen down consistently for the life of me.Is the timing when the attack would hit you or is it right before the attack animation would end?I'm probably just having a chronic skill issue
>>747093362Just go slow and make every button press meaningful. Thats all this game is
>>747102080Enemy soul sucking is introduced pretty quickly on and they go for it the moment any spawn.
>>747102354When the blades go white. Go to the training section ingame
>>747102040That was litterally the biggest and loudest complaint about RE9. Everyone wants a long game apparently
>>747088082Ganryu took me an hour and im now at the final boss
>>747102060bro all the quests lead directly to combat while you gather very cool folklore story bits. you faggots dont like video games man, there is absolutely zero reasons to hate this new Onimusha.>solid combat, feels good af. >cool and based characters, dialogue and story >no globohomo faggotry to not like it because the genre is not for you is one thing, but to completely dismiss this game and call it shit is just pure mental illness.
why is the c uck still defending the midslop.It's a mediocre game. A mediocre game that killed onimusha
>>747103182everything is dead to you faggots lmao!!!le dead this le dead that! le deas yourself faggot, how about that huh?!
>>747103182>A mediocre game that killed onimushaIt already sold a million copies.You can dislike it but it didn't kill the franchise like Dawn of Dreams did 20 years ago.
>>747102504Sure, but it still has raving reviews and is the best selling game of the year so far, the ony metrics that matter, while this could have sunk other games. They got scared over nothing and I wouldn't be surprised if that decision will deter more players than it'll bring.
>>747070860>Miyamoto Musashi>doesn't use two katanas YAWWWWWN
skip this slop and wait until Black Myth: Zhong Kui is out instead, if you like action historical fantasy. China is the future of gaming
>>747103820>China is the future of gamingChina isn't even the future of China, it's going to collapse in less than 30 years.

>>747104019*Both
Did they decided to make shuten doji a fat big guy instead of the loli cause it was too offensive?
>>747104173tell me 5 games where Shuten Douji is a loli and not a hulking rape demon
>>747102354right before the moment/frames where the attack would hit youhope my shitty webm helps
>>747104173Why would they make Shuten Douji a loli?The legend is about large ugly dude.

>>747101468>>747101830I actually liked the villain a lot. Story was whatever but wow this guy was a piece of shit every time he was on screen
>>747070860Onimusha 1 and 2 are OnimushaEverything else is slop
>>747101839I wanted that too but those games just don't fly now. NG4 flopped
Here I hoped NG+ Carnage would be worthwhile but so far it seems pretty shit>exact same enemy layouts>enemies seem to have the same HP values?>you take more damage>behavior doesn't seem any different>I think Issen windows are tighter cuz the grunt slashes were usually free
>>747101830>>747105176Even funnier when he's one of Japan's most heroic figures.
I don't like how the bow is "forced" in some bosses
Seriously now, what the hell are modders doing? Put her in HER OWN GAME
>parry enemy to get glorykill>dodge enemy to get glorykill >combo enemy to get glorykill>shoot enemy to get glorykill
I can't beat Yoshitsune on story mode. Im hard stuck on phase 2
>>747106019Have you tried using [insert core gameplay mechanic that you can't get to the final boss without] maybe that will help
>>747105965>just attack enemy>glory killyoooo the gameplay is OD basedfacing so hard rn fr ong bros,finally a good onimusha game
Is there anyone here who didn't like the demo but played the full game anyway and now they like it?
Any retards here?
>>747107450>*raises paw*
>>747107450i love nu-onimusha! totally not a AI coded game made to be abusive towards niggercattle, our studies concluded that normies still remember onimusha after selling them those suckers the old ones on steam (LOOOOOOOOL)I just hekking love glory kills and animations bros, pet the hekkin doggoliono

>>747104381You know Shuten Doji is an actual mythology thing and not the loli from Fateshit voiced by Aoi Yuki that you fap to, right?
>>747106019Took a break and did it. Kino fight. Ngl
so is the game good?
>>747108419Depends, do you like press x to awesome gameplay and a lack of puzzles?
I want a sequel
>>747096619This how I feel about every Devil May Cry after the first one. Inb4 that one seething autist that makes daily DMC 1 hate threads on here and /vr/.
Where's the last oni weapon? I kinda beat the game without finding it.
>>747101839Zoomers start shaking and speaking in tongues if any game is less than 30 hours, which they still consider “on the short side”. Don’t you remember all the bitching when REmake 2 came out about how they beat the game once as Leon and “that was it”?
>>747109207Fixed/awkward camera anglesBacktracking through same areasRepetitive enemy encountersSteep difficulty spikesConvoluted key-item fetch questsConfusing level layout/navigationLimited weapon/move variety early onFrustrating platforming sectionsBoss pattern tedium (e.g., repeated Nightmare fights)Short main story lengthVoice acting/dialogue criticized as cheesyLoad times between areas
>>747109420There you are, kek. Get help, dude.
wow the game actually had like 5 enemies, like 8 if you count the bosses.
I'm running out of steam. Eastern Kyoto is very draining at the 17 hour mark. Finished Shoten Doji and all side content so far.My biggest problem is this game lacks meaningful upgrades. Only some of the tree has new abilities. Charms, items, equipment, all boring +% slop.I don't think I can do carnage after this.
>>747110059>not bum rushing the story
Is there anyway to find all the missing power stones or do I have to check everything in a guide?
>>747110059Reminds me of FF16. Kino linear moments with cool bosses and set pieces. Horrible, padded dogshit everything else in between. This game would be a 9/10 if it were just linear like the older games. At least the good ones, fuck that gift giving shit in 2 and the grinding in 4.
>>747110173No, im not a faggot
>>747110451100%. If I find one more locked door fort I have to run a full circle around to find a ladder or a hole to crawl in, I'm gonna lose my shit. Navigation is incredibly tedious. Eastern Kyoto also has no visual variety. Just gray, for hours. Those kino set pieces are carrying hard at this point.
>>747101468Yoshitsune and Dokyo are the best thing in this game besides the combat
>>747111369Hey don't forget about my boy Musashi too. He's fucking great as well.
>>747111554He’s the third best thing. Don’t worry. Went In not expecting to care about characters and really enjoyed them all to be honest.
why are 3 and Dawn of Dreams not on Steam
>>747110451It's nothing like FF16. That had mandatory fetch quests in the story.
>>747111887Ff16s side quests build the world.
i'm just going to play warlords and kill myself afterwards
>>747070860...there was an Onimusha anime?
>>747112086actually never mind, once i see the dogshit demake of ocarina of time i will probably kill myself
Do it for her
What are you gonna do, stab me?
>>747070860>Yes I'm upset because I am a barely functional retardkek
How the fuck do I beat Yoshitsune, I can't even get past phase 1.This shit is way harder than any Souls game, Sword Saint was a cakewalk in comparison.
>>747112362His grab and kicks still get me.
>>747070860Haven't played it, but nothing I've seen looks interesting.Literally everything about it, down to the basic animations, looks like crap. Some other points:1. Dawn of Dreams had multiple characters with unique movesets for you to play around with. And even each character had different weapons that provided different default normal hit animations. The other games from 1-3 had multiple weapons with different movesets that you could use (like the spear in 2 and the twinblades in 1). In WOTS you just have the same sword. The Oni side weapons are just like extra tools instead of full-fledged weapon movesets.2. Everything looks so slow from your basic sword swings to every parry animation having this long drawn cinematic animation of you clashing swords.3. I looked up on YouTube and the only unlockables are some costumes and weapon skins. No extra modes like versus mode in Dawn of Dreams or extras like Heihachi Mode in Onimusha 3.4. The visuals looked like drab, washed out shit like every other RE Engine game. Meanwhile, look at how colorful and vibrant the first 4 games are. 5. It has some of the ugliest and most boring interpretations of yokai I've ever seen. For example, Shuten Doji looks like ass. I'm not saying he should be iconic like Fate/Grand Order's loli female interpretation of the yokai, but at least make him look cool like Nioh 2's Shuten Doji.6. The facial mocap is terrible. Is Musashi seriously supposed to have Toshiro Mifune's face? Doesn't look like Mifune at all. And I've watched dozens of Mifune's movies.
