Finish Carnage Mode, for her.
>>747444518How could they make Okuni mechanically different from Musashi while still being fun to play?
>>747444518post more of this character to convince me to buy the game
is Carnage actually worth playing it a second time? i beat the game but the reset to equipment levels means grinding for materials again
>>747445019
>>747445119it's just halved damage/health buh, you'll manage
>mfw Ganryu 3>mfw The boss after himGame starts pretty weak and now I don't want it to end
Onibros, why the fuck are our threads so dead?
>>747444518Uglycute.
at the final zone, why is my gauntlet only level 3?
>>747447109The bosses are amazing, but every time the game throws a new zone at me I feel like crying.
>>747449323The mountain and the Ganryu 3 area were dreadful 2bh
>>747445119It's honestly making me hate the game. I'm at Ganryu 3 and it's just a slog. It demands perfection for 10+ minutes straight. Saw someone on twitch doing Yoshitsune on Carnage, it took 14 minutes.You can basically only take two hits and block two hits before you're out of stam and if you die, start this 10 minute encounter over. So you really have very little leeway and makes doing Issen more risky which makes the fight even slower. You lose you rhythm or flow for one attack and you're done. I understand that it's a get good situation, but it's just a boring padded numbers difficulty. It reminds me of speedrunning, of trying the same thing over and over again until you hit everything perfectly.I've been trying to speed through it at this point, I just want to be done. I don't even bother with normal encounters anymore. I just Oni > Ultimate to end the encounter and spam Hozuki since they're everywhere.
>>747449584Yeah exactly, Ganryu 3 area I actually had to take a break lol
>>747449276Lack of sidequesting kino
>>747450189I did all the quests tho (what a fucking slog, first time I skipped cutscenes in a video game)
can i not use creampie with this? i want the dlc armors
>>747449276Just go buy the mats. Gauntlet needs rift materials and a lot of the rifts are random.
>>747449648I imagine you can just dump items to force your way through the later fights. You get two lives, easier issen, as much recovery as you like.
>>747449276Bro your Byakue kill count?
Ganryu 3 on carnage fucked my ass, I can only imagine what Yoshitsune is going to be like.
>>747450548That's a fair point I suppose, until you have to do the boss rematches with no items. I'm just not personally enjoying carnage. The mistakes really hurt, because ideally you want to pool souls out in the open on bosses as the more there are when you absorb, the more meter you get. That makes getting hit even worse, that's the only time bosses tend to suck up souls is when you fail a mechanic. It feels incredibly swingy and punishing on top of losing the 80% hp. Let alone if you get hit by a soul suck grab.It is an exhausting and demoralizing experience, and I loved the game prior to this run.
>>747450754you're going to see him in the t-pose a lot, a lot of times. you'll understand what i mean
is the final boss (I think I'm at the final boss by the looks of it) supposed to be really hard?
>>747450947He's pretty tough.
>called o-"KUNI">doesn't wield a kuniIt'd be like is Musashi was called Johnny battleaxe but still used a katana.
>>747444518Who the fuck immediately replays a game? It's not an indie roguelike, go back to your zoomercord.
>>747450947he's a definite difficulty spike
Still Water is so fucking good, it flows so much better with the gameplay than the other Oni Armaments (and I'm not even talking about the purple souls). A shame that you only get it at the end.
>>747451196What the fuck is a kuni?
>>747444518I'm on it don't rush me
i really suck at countering grabs
>>747450410you can buy talismans and horns from yorimasa, eventually
>>747451334I use it for the blazing gauge when it expires and specifically the purple souls. Does it do something else that I'm missing? Doesn't do more damage does it?
>>747451871Apparently it does more damage and has more reach.
>>747451871>Doesn't do more damage does it?yes it does + the full charge beam that can stagger even bosses + the instant full blazing stateit makes everything flows perfectly
the game just won't fucking end man...
>>747449276Should've hunted Byakue and Dohatsu, or just buy the mats
>>7474534752bh that level is kino.The last 2 hours tho... I ended up skipping most enemies, the game decided to add some ghouls that die in like 3 hits.
>wuchang>wukong>stellar bladeWhat action kino should I play next onimusha bros?
>>747453694The poison goes were just too slow to attack. I ended up headshotting them.
>>747444518Denuvo=into the trash it goes
anyone just get worse at issening the more you play the game. around mid way through normal i was getting issen on every attack the regular genma soldiers do and now on carnage i can't issen for SHIT
>>747444518>her
Am I stupid or is the parry/deflect timing on Yoshitsune purple attacks absurdly hard? I genuinely don't understand why I can't get it
>>747453992There are specific attacks that are easier to issen and I just started hyper-fixating on those.I've also heard Carnage mode tightens up the issen and parry timings but I'm not sure if that's true.
>>747454387>miss the parry>action stops for 10 secondsI'm tired boss...
>>747454387most games the parry timing is on impact, but I've found Onimusha's parries need to come out earlier, before the attack, to actually land
>>747454387Deflect/parry closer to his actual sword, not the big beam. Otherwise issen is actually easier against those.
>>747454535I do wonder what issen would be like with Bat Within timing (okay maybe a little tighter).
>>747454387That attack is actually two things in one. His normal sword then the beam portion. It's MUCH easier to dodge the beam portion if you're spaced out than to try and parry or deflect. You're lose to him when he does those then do parry or deflect since you'll be hitting his actual sword instead of the beam.
>>747444518Watching some game play and it seems like this game is shit.When you're fighting multiple enemies, all the enemies you're not actively attacking just sit there and stare at you.If I play the game I'd also need a mod to make the girls less ugly.
Why are the girls in this game so fucking ugly?
just finished my first playthrough today, yoshi kicked my teeth in until I hit the flow state and no damaged it, pretty ludokino desugonna start carnage playthrough after I play through cv2
>>747455079>girlsanon that is a demon
>>747455079Just classic RE Engine shit. All the men look great and all the women are ugly as hell with a male frame.
>>747455242Diana is cute.
>>747454649>>747454821I was thinking this might it, so basically like Burai's big slam where you have to get closer to parry the actual sword?
You will do carnage mode right?
Murasaki is cute
I beat Ganryu 3 without items and Oni mode because that's what Musashi would do Took me an hour
>>747455343Yeah pretty much, just try to get closer. Careful with the nasty grabs though, always messed up my flow.
>>747444518>>747445121>no barefoot optionswhy did they do this, the footwrap thing is such a tease
>>747454975So that's the power of Ultrawide...
>>747455121I did all the bosses without using any pouch or item, never took me more than 10 tries.I'm already at 15+ on Yoshi and I have seen his second bar *1* time. The difficulty spike is insane.
>>747455727Gross ugly, lumpy textured skin.
>Got to the part where Yoshitune chokeslams you off the tower>Check how much is left>I'm on the 3rd to last missionThe pacing of this game is wack. I did not feel like the ending has been built up at all.
>>747455769same, 1-2 tries every boss until Yoshi, was like fighting Isshin again
>>747451196i'm not sure what you think a "kuni" is, but izumo no okuni is a real person. she created the art of kabuki, which ironically does not allow women to perform in it
>>747455406I'd genuinely sooner subject myself to play freaking Banjo Tooie again than to run around Kyoto once more collecting random bullshit and doing inspid side quests
why does chain issen have a slowdown aiiieeeee
>>747455242>Just classic RE Engine shitI just played RE9 and Grace looks fine.
>>747444518>>747445121Why does the REngine still have these shit grimaces showing too many teeth after all these years?
>>747449276lol I'm near the end of the game and all my shit is still at level 2. Are any of the sidequests actually worth doing? Because the ones I did didn't seem like it.
>>747444518I realized I could unlock more skills until after beating Dokyo. I was gonna face Yoshitsune with a katana level 3 cause I barely interact with the maps. Now if you excuse me I'm gonna get my shit rocked for hours until I beat him somehow
>>747456185Depends what you mean by worth itReward wise you get upgrade materials and charms, so yeah they're useful.Gameplay & story wise? Absolute garbage, it's pure padding.
>>747456397>Gameplay & story wise? Absolute garbage, it's pure paddingThis is what I meant. Fuck that.
>>747455826>>747456437It genuinely seems like a lot of the game structure was a very late change because some stupid excec or shareholder got scared of the 12 hour runtime and demanded the double or something to that effect. Even a lot of the skill trees don't make sense, like half of it feel like it should have been in the base kit.Same feeling I got playing Metroid Prime 4 with those green crystals.
This game looks fun and I want to join in and play it while other people are playing it but>110 dollarydoosYeesh
>>747456019Because it looks cool.
the worst part about carnage mode is being forced to do all these fucking dogshit side quests again. i would have given anything for them to handle NG+ in any other way so i wouldn't have to suffer through this putrid shit again.
>>747456781I got it from a keysite for like 45
>>747453746wo long
>>747453746Wukong is great if your PC can handle it (turn off raytracing)
Time to get back to the game and self-loathing for not being able to pull off issen at all.
guys I stood up and yelled KINO at least a dozen times playing this game
>>747458618just learn it for one or two move per boss, easier to learn and looks cooler than doing it all the times imo
love these niggas
i cannot get the timing on enhanced ganryu's grab. i fucking hate ambiguous tentacle shit in action games so fucking much.
>>747458618Some moves are easier than others. Big vertical overhead swings and diving attacks tend to all have the most generous window.Or you know just DT.
The side quests and open world sections are terrible
>>747459890Just evade to your right
>>747459972they really kill the any intention of every playing this game again after carnage. the game is good overall but i seriously cannot ever imagine committing myself to this slog open world dogshit ever again.
>>747460047Well the nice part is that the boss replay exists. So you can just boot up and get to the best part.
I'm still in the mountain zone and it's been pretty great so far but cutscenes are starting to get to me. Are there any fun or important cutscenes in the side quests or can I just skip all of them?
>>747461085None of the sidequests stories matter except to other sidequests.
>>747461085There's really nothing of value in the sidequests or side stories. You don't get insights into any of the main cast or anything, just skip them.
anyone else mash l2+r2 the entire time just to make sure they don't miss any treasure?
>>747461593Yes.
>>747461538Alright thanks anon. I’ve been grabbing Murasaki’s puppies too and it’s wearing me out. I’ll just stick to the treasure hunt quest from now on
purple orbs drop way too often
>>747461741puppies give sword skins
barefoot mod when
>>747463164In boss battles, you're only getting them if you use oni armaments.
>>747463242There's one for Musashi.
>>747454387Just tried it. Yeah it's hard. I found it's easier to issen the horizontal one than bother with deflect.
>>747453821This.
>>747444518I installed it and did the prologue and reached the old dude and the brat on opWanted to play on keyboard but it seems to be really tailored for controller so w/eWhats carnage mode? i just had "story and action" mode as difficulties
>>747464498Unlockable difficulty mode.
>>747457992>I got it from a keysite for like 45how do you do that?
How does this one compare to the original games? Loved onimusha back in the day
>>747464621NTA but i have bought maybe 10 steam games from gray key sites and never had a problem myselfhttps://gg.deals/game/onimusha-way-of-the-sword/
>>747453746Wuchang was one of the best souls clones i have played, its no lies of P but it has the best magic system i have ever played on a souls game (as long as you dont want to play a pure caster) has those very large sprawling levels reminiscing of dark souls 1 maps. But its not really an action game its a souls clone through and throughWukong i really enjoyed, it was much better than i expected but it also had a lot of flaws, what should be the main mechanic of using enemy skills ended up being disappointing and the levels were so extremely simple and lame. Still has a few very cool moments.Stellar blade was also a very nice experience, it gets a bit repetitive by the end and the overall story is so damn simple, but some of the details of the setting were cool. Imo is the weakest of those three.Based anon playing videogames on /v/
>>747444518>>747445121Literally Japans version of side shaved SJW haircut
>>747463217And thankfully they stay collected on NG+.
>>747450410>what a fucking slog, first time I skipped cutscenes in a video gameYeah most of the cutscenes were just useless filler. The game has a solid core, but clearly very little meat on the bone. It's padded as hell.
>>747455769Still water and oni form spam won me that fight.
>>747455079Capshit is DEI/ESG/LGBT company. Everything is censored and uglified. Ignore shills blaming the development engine it's by choice.
>"carnage">enemies are still overly passive sandbagslmao
>>747455079People have really warped perceptions of beauty. Most of the women in this game are very fuckable. Shizune has the face of a good wife.
>>747466878>what no pussy does to an mf
>>747467362>implying Shizuka is uglyIs this a tranny psyop?
Giyo is hotter desu
goated mod just droppedhttps://www.nexusmods.com/onimushawayofthesword/mods/164
>>747444518It's rare for a Japanese game to depict Japanese women accurately
>>747468849Also this which tackles AI behavior slightly cleaner than the other mods do.https://www.nexusmods.com/onimushawayofthesword/mods/173
>>747466878Shizune looks like a classic Japanese beauty. There's something really dignified about her face and her demeanor. Naturally, weebs addicted to fanservice anime can't comprehend.
This thread has taught me two things>this game has shit lighting>there are no noteworthy okuni scenes
The game needs a taunt button.
Anyone else love fighting this guy? Such a kino fight everytime, especially when you get the oni form.
>>747466878>>747469553It's Shizuka, do you even play the game
>>747470571arr rook same
>>747455079My wife is not ugly.
This dude is the best antagonist in Capcom's history since at least Grigori.
>>747470402I think he's on Musashi's cool dudes list together with delinquent bros because he literally just shows up to challenge him with zero bullshit
>>747455769I like how he instantly beheads Sasaki without even giving him a fight, pretty much warning the player his fight is going to be an assrape
>>747451334Is it?I think it's rather terrible.The purple orb generation it gives you is surprisingly low and it disables blue orb generation until it ends, so you straight up do fewer oni armament attacks.
>>747444518I am at the 3rd Dohatsu ten and I cant be fucked anymore. I hate that boss, every single time its takes 4 hours. Fuck him
>>747466878It's a game not real life, you can make characters more beautiful than what you can achieve with a makeup.
>>747466878They're japanese, they are all ugly
>>747471740>>747470402The duality of man
>>747456781play Onimusha 1, 2 and 3. They're still fun as hell.
>>747444518This game looks really good with dlss5
>>747456185The Lady Murasaki ones are worth doing because they're fully voice/animated and basically function like mini main story quests
I love horror settings like this or Ash vs Evil Dead where the protagonist is such an uberchad he just doesnt care about the horrific shit happening around him. It's an underused dynamic
>>747453746Wo Long
>>747444723They don't. Instead they give you chad Takamura.
I'm finally stuck bros, the tag team gank bosses fuck me up hard... I don't know if I can continue
I am at end state, when the game warns you about progress. So I could either grind the rest of the gauntlet upgrades or just kick Yoshitsune in the nuts, but I suddenly feel like I don't want to play anymore.
FYI for the laggers. Beat Carnage mode soon, before the hammers and spear are nurfed into the dirt. The future is for flute chads only.
>>747473480You can chain issen them
>>747456781Just wait a year for the eventual 60% Capcom discount. Or get a job.
>>747473480I am admittedly retarded because I found the Nui twins harder then Bōsōzoku bros. Those two retards were actually fun to fight. I guess I just loose all semblance of spaghetti against animal bosses because Greater Nui was also really fucking difficult for me but all the humanoid bosses have been quick work.
>>747453746Stellar Blade. Skip the shitty Temu Dark Souls.
Dokyo is super basedGuildenstern would be proud
>>747474221She's not even Genma
So what's the consensus, is the game good
how the fuck was i suppose to know to go outside
I really like this game but the fucking white wolf and the black angel demon boss is on repeat like crazy. I mean come on be more creative than repeating these two fags all the time.
>>747476304At the very least the fatass demon, Nue, Benkei all should have been the repeated bosses too.
>>747475860Good but takes a while to ramp up in difficulty so if you're used to action games it can be a bit too easy at first, also, the semi-open world part is clearly tacked on for padding due to criticisms of RE9 being too short.
>>747475945when you enter the room a cutscene starts outside while the light flashes on
>>747473325It's pretty much the same in Nioh games too. It's the most impressive in case of William who is just a dude with a strong guardian spirit.
>>747475860Starts off too easy, reaches a decent few hours, then toward the end it becomes such a slog you'll just want it to be over.
>>747476304>>747476659Would have preferred the two brothers showing up more, since their entire theme is constantly wanting to fight Musashi.
Where the fuck to I find some extra Dohastu-Ten to clobber? Needs me some more horns.
>>747475860It's good. The story isn't great, but it's carried by how enjoyable the characters are. The boss fights are the highest point in the game. the problem is that the time between boss fights becomes more and more grating as the game goes on since it feels purely like padding out length to hit the 20 hours of playtime for a first play through.
>>747472226I cant get his consistent issens against him. Every carnage mode boss is fun except him and bakyue
>>747477284>William who is just a dude with a strong guardian spirit.A reallly fucking strong guardian spirit, let's not mince words, Saoirse is basically a godlike being in lore, and William is basically inmortal as long as he believes Saoirse is real.
>>747475945It literally shows you, Musashi moves back and the light flickers
>game encourages you to break multiple opponents to do sick ass chain break issen or dunder spear multikill>at the same time the game makes it stupid easy to accidentally execute an enemy when you wanted to do something else instead
>>747478197It becomes easier once you get the thunder spear. Just move away from broken enemies.
>>747477062Pragmata also had complaints about it being to short. Look at the new wolverine, this no 1 complaint apart from the handholding is the length
>>747477478Just run around looking for rifts
Since did the game did well commercially and critically, any chance of it getting updates and DLCs? Dark Realm sounds like it'd be a no-brainer if Bloody Palace and Mercenaries were anything to go by, and Kyoto seems ripe for more of Murasaki's shitty mysterious fetch quests.
>>747478453Really? That's weird, i tought Pragmata was the prerfect length, and tought any more or less would've been either unsatisfying or grating.
Fun fight, but man i suck cocks at dodging grab attacks.
>>747478453I think Pragmata had the perfect length.
>>747478632i like how the choice between break issens lead to slightly different outcomes. for example in that fight, you can attack gioh and ganyu worriedly calls out to her, but if you choose the other break issen, ganyu takes a sword in the head and neck without flinching while taunting you
>>747478730>>747478560Im not saying it was too short, im saying it was a complaint that was made by people when it released. Sales after release drop off so those voices are more likely to be heard
>>747475860Its good compared to the newest games on the market
What would be more likely?Okuni DLC or Yoshitsune prequel DLC?
>>747480163A Ganryu sequel
>>747477478Rift near the southwest riverbank always spawns a Dohatsu.
is this useless when im blazing? my swords blue?
>>747450815holy fuck nigger you have been crying about this since day one. take your meds you faggot.
>>747480596We're already getting a Ganryu prequel tho.
>>747466453Nobody cares about combo slop.
>>747477662The Man In White is a breath of fresh air, he's just an asshole, that's it. Too many villains these days gotta have some deeper meaning or trauma.
>>747478632Her grabs in particular I found hard to deal with. Probably because she's blue and so is the grab tell, because my eyes are just as retarded as the rest of me.
>>747478897It's a choice between damage and more souls. Red for damage and purple for suck. It would be nice for a third, like yellow but I guess that would make thing even easier than they already are.
>>747478632grab attacks in general are hard to dodge, yoshitsune drove me mad with that delayed grab animation of his.
I want to do carnage but I don't want to do the "open world" stuff again right now. I like the game but the biggest problem is it's structure. Give it a month or two and i'll go back and do it.Also, the light 3 genma on fire at once achievement is surprisingly awkward.
>>747480163Okuni doesn't really have it. She's fine but she's just going to be compared to Kaede, who sucked. I want to see a Musashi Must Die tower mode in Hell, with Samanosuke, Takamura, Nobunaga and Jubei as bosses. I don't think Capcom expected the game to be this well received so I want them to go all out.
>>747480856Pro-Tip, used the flute with it. At max upgrade that charm makes the flute a contender.
>>747444518So is this game just Capcom's take on Sekiro or what? Tossing up between this and Dawnwalker.
>is this game like X gameno it isnt
>>747475860Yeah it's good and I don't feel the need to qualify that statement.
>>747481078But I need a sequel where Musashi is the final boss because Ganyru slaughtered Okuni Ganryu already has a talking companion. Its perfect
>>747480779Not necessarily. I've gotten a Byakue out o fthat one.
>>747481359There is a third. The little cross is max damage, but there's sometimes another red option that's usually some kind of weird utility. For example cutting off the Greater Nue's tail so he can't use his lightning attacks, and then you can throw the tail at him.
>>747481565I think it's bugged because you can only do it with the flute. It's not super hard, you just need the charge up skill. But it makes no sense why you can't use torches.
>>747482163Probably is. I did it with the wind glaive and torches multiple times but it never counted.
>>747481565there's an oni armament that makes getting that trophy really easy so just wait for it
>>747482078I noticed the tail thing, should be a different color though just for the sake of my autism.
>>747481565Hold r1 and you can charge the flute, in the bottom left corner of the map there are 8 enemies in 1 small spot so you can easily get 3 in a bunch
>>747481790It's more like Sekiro was From's Onimusha, but whatever. I will never get another real Tenchu game so I can't complain.
I just noticed that when you actually use the charge attacks, you can essentially hold an Issen ready in the chamber just by tapping a direction and you get one automatically, every time. Especially easy with strong attack. That is nowhere in the move list notes.
>>747481078>>747481989What would even be like playing as him? Murder hobo simulator? He only preys on the weak.
>>747482684Wait what?
>>747482684What? You hold a charged attack and then tap a direction as you get hit and it turns into an Issen?
>>747483039>>747483012Yes, you charge and keep it charged. Hold that shit overlong, then you tap a direction on release and you get easy Issen.
>>747444518Did Capcom release a patch that gives you the option to disable the handholding/constant talking bullshit?Otherwise I shan't spend money on it.
>>747483373What's the matter anon, you don't like the ghost-wife in your arm constantly feeding you complements?
>>747483373You seem to have already played the game through YouTube
>>747483520I'm playing Furi though.
>>747483373Focus, M
I still haven't beaten the Dohatsu ten in oyegama. Fuck carnage mode
I was so sold on this game after the demo and I still think its good because the combat is kino, but the tedious sidequests and pseudo open world bullshit drags the game down a ton
>>747484087Grinding Kyoto's boring ass for upgrades is a way for them to pad out the play time. Otherwise this game would be even shorter.
>>747484581I'd rather have something like the Bloody Palace in DMC, the combat is great, running around samey Kyoto isn't
>>747485074Game needs more mob types. One or two variants ain't enough. They should have thrown in the occasional old Genma fodder designs just for some callback variety. I wouldn't mind a random Barabazuu here or there as a mini-Daidara.
Where tf is Samanosuke?
>>747458908me too, I love the "honorable delinquent" trope japan does sometimes, specially if one of them is voiced by the same VA that did great teacher onizuka, the 2v1 battle was pure ludokino
>>747483736I just cheesed it with 3 oni beast modes in a row with the sachel and the hozuki regen item. Gutted that I wasted it on a mini boss but its the only one so far i cant issen
>>747485453Chilling in Hell somewhere, or still on the quest to seal his gauntlet since I don't think this game takes place after Dawn of Dreams.
What's Ganryu's problem?
Hell sounds like a perfect place for Musashi, he will have literally an eternity to hone his craft against strongest foes to ever exist.
>>747486270He's too cool. Musashi is the bad guy
>>747444518I just started carnage mode, but I will indeed finish it. I was grinding up my pouches first because apparently only those carry over but not your sword, gauntlet and armor which is incredibly fucking gay.
>>747486270Hyper autistic manchild who claims he wants to be the strongest but in reality just wanted companionship despite being unable to articulate it.
>>747486270Written like an anime character. All of the characters are really, but his archetype is one of the most cartoonish.
How do I unlock the second half of the skill tree
>>747486270He's a bottom, who thinks he's a top.
I really wish NG+ had some mechanical changes to diversify the second run. Like a slow, constant oni energy regeneration or something.
>>747486523Find more Oni memories. You get the option to find them in by linear means, just beat more bosses.
>>747486523Go to the oni portals on the map
S-tier fights : Yoshitsune / Ifuu & Burai / Ganryu 3Honorable mention : DokyoShuten Doji would be top tier as well if not for his fire palm into fire waves and the mid fight tutorial
>>747486618NG+ should have unlocked more variant enemies, green souls, and been hard as balls to compensate not having to grind anymore. Instead you still gotta grind and it ain't shit.
>>747486693I'd put Doji above Ganryu 3. Ganryu was played out by the second time you fight him.
>>747444518Will Capcom ever make another game without pandering to pedophiles?>if you look at this and see something wrong it's YOU who...Yeah stfu they gave the fucking robot toddler girl pantyshots
>>747486630wtf I finished the whole game without opening all skills. I went to that oni portal that first appears but there was nothing there, no way for me to progress.
Any cool mods yet?
>>747486693ebifurai was a joke, I don't know why people jerk them off so much. I mean they're cool as characters but the fight was pathetic.
>>747485896>I don't think this game takes place after Dawn of Dreams.It doesThe Yoshioka School fight at the starts sets it as 1604, which i'm pretty sure is like a decade after Dawn Of Dreams.
>>747487096Same
>>747487174Someone made a Female Musashi mod.
>Gioh is voiced by Sayaka OharaFuuuck, Ganryu fumbled real bad
>>747486343he's just like me...
this game is basically jap nu-god of war
>>747487241It's visually awesome, is a duo boss that works, and the overall flow of the fight is perfectdifficult =/= good
What the fuck is the timing on the unblockable for Ganryu 3? I swear that shit is harder to avoid than the grab.
>>747487463>plays nothing like it>couldn't be more different in terms of storytellingyou tards just say things
>>747487463No?Nu-God of War is>Don't be a violent retard, be betterWhile Onimusha Way of the Sword is>being a violent retard is cool, just don't be an asshole about it
>>747487518I was dunking on them the whole time so I didn't get the chance to appreciate itOn the other hand I loved the Shuten Doji fight
>ganryu sounds genuinely concerned when you stab Gioh in the headtheir dynamic was quite bizarre and interesting, more so than miyamoto and gauntlet lady. I was hoping their standoff-ish, casual/uptight contrast would be a game-long thing but after the first level she just becomes your cheerleader which is pretty lame. Not sure how I feel as a whole, the sequel bait was pretty unsatisfying
>>747487639>egregious suck to target>less unresponsive controls to accommodate smooth animations>simple base moveset with over the shoulder ranged option and epic invincible special moves
>>747487318>>747487076But anon, that means Okuni only has nine more years to live, the real one dies in 1613 at the age of 35.
>>747488050>Okuni dies in the sequel for historical accuracy reasonsNyo...
>>747487885>me when I get all my opinions from /v/you haven't played a game in 10 years you fucking schizo
>>747488050>>747488156Ganryu sequel confirmed
>>747488156>>747488401She gonna get smoked for historical accuracy and then go to Hell and get given her own Gauntlet, probably by Takamura. Easy peasy.
>Lunar Princess Dokyo>Genma TakamuraEven the bosses are sequel baited
>>747488314they'll call you everything under the sun before they call you wrong
>>747488637Anon...
>>747488880what you expect from shills?
>>747456781just pirate it bro its a singleplayer game
>>747488637lmao
Favorite boss theme?
>>747489165>pirate>denuvoWhy do you think this game doesn't have many /v/ threads?
>>747489553i dunno cuz its very easy to download and install for free, thats what i did
>>747489194final boss I guess, the soundtrack in general was nothing
>>747489194Ganryu
>>747489553crapcum isn't paying enough shills
>>747489796why do you not like capcom? I see absolutely no reason to dislike their games.
>>747489731enjoy being part of a botnet and cryptomined I guess
>>747490098>he doesnt know
So the game clearly ends with a gigantic sequel bait with Sasaki, Dokyo and moon people. They even have a reason to depower Musashi again since he lost all genma souls in the gauntlet and golden souls from the castle only healed his body.Wonder if we will get playable Okuni or it's Musashi only.
Are the characters facescans of the real JP actors?
This game was surprisingly fun and a welcome relaunch of the Onimusha IP... why is discussion so dead about it?
ya gotta love Dokyo ya just gotta
>>747490595>the entire game was just her one huge keikaku and it succeeded>got herself a new boytoy to shape into a humanoid weapon
>>747487702Depending on how they develop Sasaki he can become a very interesting central antagonist because he's clearly lonely as fuck and Dokyo is going to exploit it.
>>747490491>why is discussion so dead about it?Lotta reasons>Denuvo>single players>most anons are not Onimusha fans> Demo was a bad first impression for the hardcore action crowd>we got hit by 2 different schizos at the same timeThe game was a success, just simply not a hit with the average anon.
>>747464856Is Lies of P has good as people say?It's one of the most expensive souls likes.
>>747475860It's great, one of my favourite new releases this yearBest part of the game is the boss fights I doubt anybody will argue against this, but the story is decently engaging and the linear levels are good.I don't care for the "open world" Kyoto map or most of the side quests though, game would be better without those.Music could be a bit more memorable, doesn't really hit the same as the old games
>>747490491For starters, about 80% of /v/ doesn't actually play games, it's just a meeting place for social recluses and alt righters. The 20% who do play games are mostly underage retards and parent's basement dwellers (so poor) schizos. They can't pay for games so if it isn't cracked they can't play it.
Is the game good, I'm thinking of buying it
>>747492607>the linear levels are good.I disagree, you fight the same ennemies every level so combat wise it gets boring very quickly, and the puzzles are literally designed to waste times.Would have palatable if not for the open world making these problems 10x more frustating by tiring you before you even set foot in the levels.
You know, I'm surprised that the Japanese are fine with making some of their historical figures who are generally seen as heroic, as villains. I think if we did the same thing in America, there'd be some outrage (like when Assassin's Creed had the George Washington tyrant DLC).
Why does every major character in japanese games turn into sparkles when they die?I fucking knew Ganryu wasn't fully dead on the third fight because of this. Did Yoshitsune's entire plan rely on Musashi not properly finishing off him and Gioh?
>>747492342It's pretty fucking good, cool enemies, cool environments, cool systems, good gameplay, decently likable cast, interesting story. it basically fixes the criticism of Soulslikes having shitty barely existent plots without doing much damage to the things that do usually work.Really my main criticisms for it is lack of variety in clothing(can't mix and match, only change overall outfits) weapons( the game wants you to engage with the weapon combination system, but the weapons are fine as-is, so if you don't like combining weapons it feels like there are less weapons than even Bloodborne) and that the DLC was created after they added difficulty options, so it's balanced for Normal(actually easy) instead of Hard(original normal).
>>747492342Just pirate niggaIt's good in terms of combat but simplistic in terms of level design.On another hand, it has incredible amount of unique assets. They keep introducing new enemy types and subptypes until the last 20 minutes of the game. In DLC they bothered to give even returning enemies new attacks and turned some normal enemies from the base game into unique minibosses.
>>747493387I assume Yoshitsune planted Gioh into the gauntlet and made sure she will develop yandere obsession for whoever wears it.
>>747493704That's what I figured but if Musashi just burned or obliterated everything but the gauntlet then Yoshitsune would've had no way of getting Takamura's soul anymore.
damn the greater nua was a pretty big difficulty spike
>>747494245Am I just a shitter or regular Nue take forever to kill?
>>747494519they take longer than most things just because they don't have any attacks to deflect for the stagger.
>>747494748>>747494519Any attacks with his foreleg claws count as a weapon so you can deflect them
For me it's Murasaki-shiki
>>747495360yeah but the deflects don't damage his stagger meter though. the big boss one you can but only when he's standing upright. or do the little ones stand upright too and I've just never had one do it?
>>747495531>more people immediately recognize best girl when they see herNoice.
>>747455769He was a ball buster for me until I learned his moves then it clicked. The first time I hit phase 3 I cleared it since it was mostly the same as 2 in terms of moveset and I'd learned it, and I beat the rematch in one try. But yeah, until you learn his moves he keeps you in hitstun and fucks your butt aggressively.
>>747455769>>747496593I missed this in vidya, a ball busting final boss.I think saint isshin was the last one...
>>747475860The good parts are insanely well done and among the best I've seen in a game (MC, animations, combat mechanics). The bad stuff is everything else and it's really bad in a "boring AAA/PS2 game" kind of way that makes it feel really dragged out and boring with level design, especially if you're grinding materials and trying to max everything out.
>>747495531why did they give her such dick sucking lips
This game's difficulty is like perfect for me. Fromsoft games always frustrated me too much to have the patience to stick with them but I feel like this is approachable enough whilst still having a good challenge here and there.
Okay so I'm going to be honest, : I'm at the final boss and I have still no idea how the blade clash thing works. Specifically whenme and the enemy keep clashing swords : while I do press the correct buton sometimes I win, sometimes I lose. Can anyone help me?
>>747492975i wish more games portrayed the minamoto as the bad guys. the taira clan don't deserve that reputation
>>747487885>less unresponsive controls to accommodate smooth animationsThat's not true at all, and the animation blending on responsive animations is why people praise it so much. You sound like a retarded third worlder.
>>747497526If you started the clash with a normal attack then you need to use heavy attack to win.It's basically free damage since you can mash the wrong attack a few times before being punished.
>>747497526if you mean the barrage, how it works is whatever button you hit that started it, you have to hit the other one to finish it.starts with one-handed attack, finish it with two-handed, and vice versa.
>>747497526If they swing with one hand, press triangle. If they swing with two hands, press square. That's it.
>>747497747i make this face during orgasm
Opinions on the final level? 10/10 aesthetics, wish the rest of the game was more like this cause the game was full of dull looking areas.Also I was hoping an entire boss gauntlet and not just a few of them...
>>747494519>>747494748yeah but i like how they made so bosses more dodge focused
>>747497747bros your honest opinions on Yoshitsune character? was he kino or just a lame villain?
>>747497657>>747497661yeah, but sometimes the clash keep going and we hit swords multiple times, that's where I don't know what to do maybe I'm just stupid sorry
>>747455079>The cute ginger Asian woman with a refined attitude isn't cuteDogshit taste>>747469553>>747466878I blame people having no standards at all, porn and the the average IQ of a normalfag being room temperature.
>>747497829the laboratory and moutain were also pretty, it's not so much their aesthetic that is the problem, but that they're super dull to go through
>>747498345Literally one of the best Capcom villains, he is entertaining every time he shows up.It's funny how similar he is and Hiruko from Nioh 3 both aesthetically and thematically in their last phases, although he BTFO's Hiruko as a character.
>>747498536if the swords clash multiple times you are hitting the wrong button.
Do you guys use charged attack against bosses for the blue souls or just mash normal attack?
>>747498345He was fun.
>>747499312Charged heavy attacks equal roughly 3 normal attacks and usually give more blue souls, so i usually try using them if i can.
>>747498345Best villain in years, i like how he's pure evil and loves every minute of it. i hate modern "does bad things because trauma" bullshit
>>747497526To add to what the others said theres also a visual indicator.A horizontal line means you started the clash with a light attack and should do a heavy. Vice versa for a vertical line.
>>747499467fully charged?
>Yoshitsune face when I get grabbed for the 3rd time in a row
>>747499732There is no fully charged, isn't it? There's only charged and not.
>>747498192Full Wily's Castle boss gauntlet would've been the way to do it. It's still pretty good.
>>747498192>Opinions on the final level? 10/10 aesthetics,You mean the tower made of generic evil rocks? Every area with those fucking sucked aesthetically.
>>747499884the grab timings in this game are so fucked up man
>>747500161Only Yoshi's teleport grab gave me trouble, they're remarkably well telegraphed
Anyone else constantly forgetting there are a bunch of items with tons of different effects in the game?
>>747498345he's good, he should've had more screen time and character beyond "le red"
>>747500874Never used any of them.
>>747500161I think they're fine for the most part but the thing that aggravates me about them is like my brain for some reason can only hold the rhythm for one enemy's grab at a time, so pretty much every time I get used to blocking a grab, the next enemy who does a grab that's not the same type gets me pretty much every time.
It was fun!I still think Ganryu and Shuten Doji were the best fights overallOld Man Yoshi was the best character overall though
Am I the only one who liked Kyoto much more than those dogshit corridor sim linear levels with literal busywork obstacles
>grey/full color filter photorealistic graphics>no fixed camera angles>no swish sound effects on sword slashes like it's an old japanese samurai movie using stock soundsI'm sure the game is good but I will never understand how people can tolerate the complete abadonment of previous identity in all modern vidya franchises. Games have no history to gamers, just iterations and repetitions until the next slop has to be pushed out
>>747501469To be fair in the actual JP marketing, it's not really a sequel but a reboot
>>747501448I liked it until I was running back and forth doing busy work and grinding materials.
>>747501469>previous identity
>>747501448kyoto is nothing but busywork, the game would be better without it
>>747501323I got filtered by Shuten Doji...
>>747501895Lion dogs were cute and all, but I'd rather that all the side quests and content have been Murasaki's cases instead of repetitions of 'ace archer/hidden oni treasure'
>>747502106how, he's issen tutorial
>>747502130I hated that they had a bunch of side quests where someone went "HMMMM SOMETHING IS SUSPICIOUS HERE!" but you know that literally every time you're just going to go find some genma you've already fought before and kill them.
>>747501469Yeah we should all get stuck in the past wearing our nostalgia googles, that's the way to go
>mfw the final boss
really feels like the difficulty of this game, especially on carnage mode, really depends on if you actively try to issen or not. messing up issens will get you killed very fast.
>>747502361this, it was such a golden opportunity to pace the game better with a more mystery focused angle, maybe with a gampelay loop dedicated to it, a shame
>>747444518whys she so ugly
>>747503702Yeah. I'm not bothering to learn new issen timings and I'm just doing the ones I've already memorized and using deflects on most other things.
>>747444518Already did, last boss was kino. Wish they had unlocked it from the start, zero reason not to.
>>747444518>>747445121>>747454975>>747455079UGLY af
>>747445119By the end of the game bosses get spongy as all shit while easily murdering you for two consecutive mistakes, it's interesting to say the least.
>>747501806That was fucking hilarious
>>747449276They dish out sword and clothing materials at a steady pace, but oni materials require you to actively chase rifts in the pseudo open world to fight the two minibosses again.
>>747453694>the game decided to add some ghouls that die in like 3 hitsIt's sorta funny how the random encounters actually get WORSE after they add those worthless zombies into the mix. They're even easier and more braindead than the starter genma.
Dual wield next game, right?
>>747504660I just started running past enemies
>>747504878yeah, Musashi's dual wield is iconic and this was his origin story for sequel
>Musashi is no longer bound to the gauntlet, he can remove it when he duels humans, so he can still grow stronger as a human>but he is still on an active duty as Onimusha and seems to have accepted his roleNeat development.
>i hate that the pre order raizan skin is teal instead of the dark blue it was in oni 1
why do you have to upgrade your stuff again when replaying the game?
>>747506267Because Capcom are retards
Is Carnage worth it?
I don't understand what I'm supposed to do when Yoshitsune starts sucking in orbs in his P3?
>>747506431You suck in stuff too then parry
>>747506431Start sucking them with your own glove and when the screen turns black, you prepare to parry.
Do you need to grind to fully upgrade your equipment?
>>747506267>the things you spent mats on won't carry over>but the things you didn't upgrade carry over I am fucking mad.
>>747506630You can probably do it with your vanilla gear. It will make fights significantly longer though.
>>747506527>>747506592Not him but I tried sucking and nothing happened, so I did the finisher in oni form and got a special cutscene.
>>747505151hopefully. thought it was kinda retarded that the japanese guy best known for writing a scroll on dual wielding a katana and wakizashi was portrayed as not doing so. but tbf i think he wrote that scroll when he was older
>>747507029I'm >>747506431 and same actually lol, pretty cool but then he did it again when I didn't have oni form and wiped me
>>747507548Nigga used to go around beating his opponents with a wooden club instead of a real sword. Not sure why people are so hung up on the dual-wielding stuff.
>>747480856I feel like charm percentages are too low. When I upgrade it should offer a bigger boost.
>>747508224>MH fan
>>747506630A 'little' grinding but if you do all the side missions and Curious Cases you'll get a good amount of stuff. By the time I completed the game for the first time I only had to grind for Doh horns. You can also buy upgrade items from one of the NPCs for Red Souls. You should also fully upgrade the Red Souls charm to Level 3 ASAP and never take it off.
>>747506267Terrible oversight IMO. Getting upgrade materials by doing all the utterly mid side content is really monotonous. The game will also still give you Power/Oni Stones even if you can't actually use them anymore. The very least they could have done was give you more upgrade materials for them. I really like this game but they didn't really think this Kyoto part through and I don't ever see myself picking it up again unless they add a Bloody Palace type thing or unless I'm explicitly doing a no-upgrade run.
>>747506267It's funny how everyone disliked that. If they were gonna lock the hard mode behind NG+ they really should've balanced it around a fully upgraded character instead of making us grind mats all over again.
>>747506431You can deflect his supermove for massive stamina damage. Sucking his orbs does work although you get little visual indication of this.
>>747506267assuming you're playing action mode and move on to carnage, naturally you want to play for a more difficult challenge. starting from scratch would be the most compatible for that motive, otherwise you'd just be playing to mow down the achievement instead. i guess the other option would be to let you keep your upgrades and make the bosses scale from that, but then your experience may vary since not everyone ends with the same upgrades
I wish all the enemies in nioh were in this. They seem like they'd be fun to fight with this games combat.
>>747509834I think it's fine they wanted to go down the route of making a more story heavy game, because honestly the main story and cast are pretty good, but devs really need to ask themselves would players actually want to do certain content more than once. It really should have been a no brainer that people would not want to do these side quests again. Or at the very least make it so only the Curious Cases are available again and not the standard side quests.
>>747509834the biggest issue here is just doing side missions again.I would never have done the side missions if I had known that I would have to do them again on a new save file.
>>747510020I have no fucking idea how would Musashi deal with the likes of Itsumade unless it's just an isshen chain. Niohs have some pretty retarded power levels, both in story and mechanics.
It's sorta funny but I had more trouble with Carnage mode Ganryu than Yoshitsune. Yoshitsune had very well telegraphed attacks for the most part while Ganryu's full of stupid "gotcha" shit.
>>747507548He literally dual wields in this game retard.
>Spams unblockable attacks
love fighting these guys. shit bricks when the first one appeared but they're actually super easy to bully
It truly sucks how modern action games treat a second healthbar for a second form as a given and not as a special occassion. you need to keep it special, a one/two time thing per game. OH SHIT HE JUST USED THE BEHELIT TO GAIN HIS GOD HAND FORM THIS IS EPIC.just have the second form when health hits 50% and have double health.
>>747510553>MUSA-ACK
>>747455079>Why are the girls in this game so fucking ugly?Capcom has taken ESG score. They ported Onimusha 2 to PC last year and max censored it. A PS2 game and rated Mature.So all the women in this game are toned down reddit-safe as you would expect.
>>747510667Gotta appreciate how many death animations this guy has. If you Issen kill him with a certain move you cut his wings off
>>747455079I couldn't stop thinking how much of a fag Yoshitsune was for dumping this cutie to become a psychopath actually. I really have to agree that anime brainrot must be a thing with some of you guys.
>>747510553>>747510592Honestly just the best non-boss enemy (He’s a mini boss) in the game by a mile. He Initially filters most players but through the player gaining experience they then filter the Dohatsu Ten. He’s fair, flashy, has a nice honorable attitude and unlike byakuen has a very varied move set. 10/10 enemy.
shizuka is not cute in the slightest. now if it was murasaki then i'd understand.
It's interesting that most content creators that played this game and Blood of the Dawnwalker on release chose to continue Blood of the Dawnwalker and dumped this game.I just thought that was interesting.
>>747511083Yeah I fucking hated Byakuen but I grinned everytime this guy appeared.
Never quite got gud at Dohatsu. It felt like every time I achieved a good flow in the fight he'd get me with his unblockable.
Thread is as dead as this game lol
hard stuck on yoshitsune's second phase, gonna try again later. also that grab is fucking bullshit and it doesnt help im playing on a logitech f710 (a controller with the highest input lag ever) and cant toggle on amd anti lag2 for some reason
>>747511970The grabs in this game felt annoying as shit to avoid overall since every single enemy seems to have their own timing to avoid them. Yoshitsune does a little fakeout before you actually have to press the dodge button.
>>747512123yeah it seems you have to press it way later in the animation, only managed to do it once
>>747511919Denuvo WON again
>>747510667i had this exact kill
>>747444518That's not incentive
I won.
I keep waiting for the game to get challenging but it's just too fucking easy. After every boss fight I just think "that's it?" Carnage mode really should have been available from the start
>>747511339Anon, you could've at least ragebaited with something that is actually true instead of making up an scenario in your head to get people angry.
>>747513831don't use heals/items
>>747513917He's underage and brown. Please be patient.
>>747513953I don't, who the fuck would ever use those
>>747514285okay cool guy
>>747513831The only wall in action mode is the very last boss. Carnage's better, shame they locked it behind a whole playthrough of either action or story.
Im on verge of giving up. I didnt have a problem so far, for eample I killed the twins on the first try. Now I am fighting that faggot who was killed at the intro, Garyu or something (he went crazy then I was forced to lose against him)Now I am facing him again, and its brutal. During his second phase one mistake kills me instantly and I am forced to start again. I died for like 2 hours before ragequiting.
>>747513953at this point i think it's easier to not use items because you need the brainspace to remember what each item does, and the moment to decide when to use it
>>747513831Then show class your no damage/issen-only boss attempts.
>>747514531there is not one shot attack in the game?
>>747515307I think Ganryu's unblockable and grab attacks come close, they probably do 80% minimum on Carnage
Huge lack of GOGANDANTES THE GREATEST SWORDSMAN OF ALL DEMONS.
>>747515307ganryu 2 has a 5 attack combo that straight out kills you iirc
I boughted it for my birthday, demo was rad.
>>747515591this, his fucking combo always kills me jesus christ
>>747515591And I think you can't block it if you get hit even once? I noticed you can deflect but blocking becomes impossible.
what does carnage mode unlock?
>final boss had 3 separate sets of animations for all the finishers you can do depending on his stage>instead of braindead easy third phase like with sword saint isshin, his third phase introduces a new gimmick and a new way for him to rape your assI genuinely believe this dude is one of the best final bosses in the genre.
>>747517156come on now, I loved it as well but his 3rd phase is gimmicky as well, the big suck is a full heal everytime and the oni form is basically the SSI's lightning
Rolled up sleeves is the best outfit btw
>>747515591i think you can dodge it aswell if you dont react to the first attack in time
>>747517156What I like about WotS is that the game clearly communicates what it wants from you when it comes to the bosses. It's all a matter of being ready for the moveset. I appreciate not having to study a boss for hours like Malenia or something.
I love getting stunlock combod to death in carnage because one attack connected after perfecting the boss for 70% of their health and Musashi spends 20 minutes dazed in recovery frames that you can't cancel with a guard and have to wait for a dodge to cancel him out of.
>>747516863Some extra clothes and cloaks, also a new sword that makes Issen easier once you finish it. Redoing all bosses gets you a new armor that auto-absorbs souls and enhances your bow I think.
>>747517156It was absolute kino. The only thing I disliked was the long ass animation if you got hit by his unblockable in phase 1.
>>747517958I mean, isn't the point of the mode to play perfectly?
>>747444518>UohCunnykek I love japan
Honestly, they genuinely made a good enough cast and setting that I want more of it.Just please no more if this shitty open world or this horrendous level design in the "dungeons".
>>747517420Big suck is a heal followed by his own iai finisher that deals monumental damage. It's not as braindead as Isshin's lightning which is just free damage + stagger.
>>747518382>isn't the point of the mode to play perfectly?No. Why would you think that? There's a massive difference between playing perfectly most of the time and never making a single mistake. Carnage mode kind of sucks in general. It's not a great hard mode. The fact that excess demon and power stones don't turn into the crafting materials they make you regather is another thing that's annoying.
Carange mode should've at least introduced new upgrades for Musashi. Let us all go out, give some fun shit like a slow inherent oni armament gauge generation.
>>747490352No, Musashi is made from scratch based on a dead actor
>>747497565>t. heike scum
>>747492342By far the best of the Soulslikes
>>747517958>>747518879Have you tried being good at the game or do you just like whining like a child?
>>747519859>did you die once to a boss?>git gud!I didn't realize Fromdrones played Onimusha.
>>747520014Hey, it's good advice. Some bosses annoyed me too, but it was more because it'd sometimes feel inconsistent that I wasn't able to avoid a grab or deflect an unblockable attack.
>>747520735>Hey, it's good advice.If you're a retarded Fromdrone, sure. But I'm glad to see they're branching out to other games and not being so insular.
>>747521052The underlying message is "stop complaining and learn the game" since being a crybaby never helped anyone. But suit yourself.
>>747455079>>747455242>>747466241Why do the discordtroons have such a hate boner for Capcom?
>>747521204>The underlying message is "stop complaining and learn the game"The underlying message is "I'm a retarded fanboy and I'm going to pretend that people don't understand that the way to beat a game is to keep playing it until you get better at it because I physically can't handle the idea that anyone could possibly criticize any mechanical aspect of the game, so I feel the need to paint it as a fault of the player instead of admitting that there could be any design problems at all." I genuinely can't imagine how much semen has to be in your stomach at any given time to get upset that people don't pretend every game you like is flawless at all times, or even worse, get upset that people on an imageboard about video games would talk about the design of video games.
>>747455727fucking horridI hate you goddamn jeet subhumans so much
>>747521204>being a crybaby never helped anyoneIt helps women all the time.
>>747504213we get it, you're gay
>>747521204>I'm not giving pointless, worthless "advice">I'm just saying don't complain about any game everThis is why you retards get called retards.
>>747511970nevermind in locked in and beat it
>>747520014>>747521052>>747521390>still whining
Musashi was such a fun character
>>747522705How brown is your skin?
>>747521905>play a game while complaining all the while it's unfair and broken yadayada>gets mad when others tell you to acquire proficiencyI'm gonna tell you something that's gonna rock your world: you can just not play the game if it makes you mad. Or just stop after your action mode playthrough.
>>747522705I beat the boss that stunlocked me on the next try, and then the one after it on the first try. Complaints about games aren't invalid just because you shitpost like a Fromdrone.
>>747523181>play a game while complaining all the while it's unfair and broken yadayada>all the whileThat's some cool headcanon. Anyways, read my post again>>747521905You're a retarded nigger if any single complain about a game causes you to get assmad that people criticize any single mechanic in it. You can just not read threads if anything other than nonstop praise makes you mad. Hope that helps.
>>747523268Congrats on getting gud.
>>747523406That's nice, but the stunlock and inability to cancel out of recovery frames with blocks and parries and needing to animation cancel with dodges is still a shit mechanic. Beating the bosses has no bearing on that.
I can't believe theres no sparring match with Takamura.
i swear to god capping the framerate to 30 makes issens easier, other re engine games had framerate related fuckery as well so its not completely unheard of
>>747523647I heard that too but honestly felt no difference when I tried it.
why is everyone so fucking creepy
>>747523592He's a boss in the next game
>>747523647>>747523706Supposedly the game logic takes it into account and outside of big fluctuations in framerate, the window in seconds should be the same. It just ranges from 0.03 to 0.12 seconds so some attacks are insanely hard to time.
>>747524034>why are possessed/crazy people crazy
>>747523647>playing at 30 fps in 2026
>>747524034Damn bitch, you play with all that crap on your screen?
>>747524208i played at 138fps, capped it to 30 to test it
>>747523580lmao hey retard, have you considered not getting stunlocked in the first place?
>>747524208here's my retard story a couple years back>had my 60hz monitor fail>replace it with 240hz>see no difference and think it's just a meme>years later come across the os setting to set the monitor refresh rate>finally set it to 240hz>mind=blown
>>747524534lmao, retard
>>747524504Let's see some of your hitless boss fights on carnage.
>>747524534Holy mother of the technologically illiterate, anon.
Does anyone else have issues with lost inputs when pressing buttons or am I coping?
>>747524534kek, my 160hz monitor also defaulted to 60hz when I first pluged it, though I quickly realized something must be wrong.But desu it's kinda stupid you have to manually change it.
>>747524918it's cope, it's just that the game doesn't play the animation when you fail like in sekiro, you just get hit
>>747524918Depends when you do it. A lot of states have recovery frames that don't let you do most inputs.
I'd replay the shit of this game if the progression was curated instead of this last minute padding mess
I've never used the flame flute but I've seen some people say it's good for combo extension. Can you actually get good damage on bosses with it?
>>747527579You can use the firebirds at anytime, even when knocked down to stagger bosses out of certain attacks and even stop them from absorbing souls.
>>747525523>the game doesn't play the animation when you fail
>>747524034If you played Cosmology of Kyoto you'd realize that the old capital of Japan is just supernatural Detroit
>>747527905>and even stop them from absorbing souls.NANI???
Fuck you "git gud" faggots. Carnage is by far one of the worst gaming experiences I've had in a long time. Just an awful experience.
>>747529414>gits gud>still bitchinglol
>Get into Blaze state with the Raizan skin>blue fart gas instead of lighting on the bladeGod dammit Capcom
Excellent thread, lads. 95% of it was actual game discussion, good screenshots and minimal shitposting.
>>747529414what made it so bad?
>>747529414congrats. though i'm better of course
>>747529585Yeah, the souls retards almost ruined it but we had a good run tonight lads.
>>747529414N-No! You can't complain about something unless you're bad at it! There's no possible way you could beat something and call it bad! I am very smart and good at video games and my penis isn't small!
>>747529414>>747530074As someone about to enter this Hell, what was so bad about it?
>>747529731>>747530261Other anons have mentioned it, but it's just a boring padded slog.I refused to do the sidequests again due to how shitty they were, so I was at 3/3/3 by the end. The material grind was one of things I enjoyed least on Action, and wasn't going to do it again.The later half of the game the HP numbers are so bloated it takes forever to kill anything. Musashi has very little offensive depth and most things have one real way to deal with them. This results in the fights becoming almost "scripted". You do the same combo over and over interrupted and then do the one defensive option for that move. If you fail your Simon Says minigame twice too close together, go back 10 minutes. It's just "can you lock in for 15 minutes" and I don't enjoy that type of gameplay.
>>747530261Nothing really changes that much desu aside from number tweakingI have to say normal mob enemies are just awful to fight against after a while
>>747530261nothing special. some anon has difficulty beating a boss, claims it's bad game design, when in actually it's literally the same strategy for every boss - examine the attack patterns, fine tune your defensive timing, and wear it down. some mean spirited anons kick him while he's down, said anon finally beats said boss and still claims it's bad game design. but that's just my version of the story
>>747530585If you think that doubling damage taken and doubling HP is good game design, you are a retard. A ton of other capcom games change enemy placement, add new mechanics and bosses, see Dante Must Die. There is nothing different about Carnage except it takes longer, making it a horrible experience.
>>747530375>>747530943This is why I love Nioh. It actually changes up harder modes.
>>747527905The flute is how I beat Dokyo. Homing dot damage for a little of her own medicine.
>>747530943>doubling damage taken and doubling HP>nothing different about Carnage except it takes longerthat's where you're wrong here. if you take more damage, you die faster. you have less of a window to recover. your heals are essentially less effective. it's more challenging because it's testing your endurance and ability to maintain focus. you should acknowledge your omission here and admit you didn't state the full truth
Honestly, all this complaining might be why Capcom locked Carnage behind a whole playthrough that serves almost as a tutorial. They probably wanted to avoid people eating shit and getting turbo angry at the game.
They need to patch Carnage mode to be actually different.
>>747530261All of the boring padding and tedium is exaggerated, as are the flaws in the combat system. It doesn't add anything new or interesting, and it's a pretty padded game so if you want everything, you have to grind again. I'm insanely assblasted that charms and pouches carry over but not gear. And even though you start with abilities, you can open the walls or wall run so they force more needless backtracking. My favorite recent Capcom is RE4R, and pro mode on that is fantastic. It's the only thing I've played for the last 200 hours because I like its mechanical changes. This difficulty just feels lazy.>>747530375>Musashi has very little offensive depthThis isn't really brought up enough but it's a huge problem. If you stagger an enemy, you can't do any real damage. All your damage comes from reactive options, and that part feels like shit. On carnage, even your charged heavies do almost nothing but tickle bosses. You're better off shooting an arrow to keep posture from coming back and then waiting on their next attack.>>747530585You're genuinely a cockscuking niggerfaggot and you should kill yourself.
>>747531713Weapons do carry over if that's what you mean
>>747531713>You're genuinely a cockscuking niggerfaggot and you should kill yourself.face it, you're weakwilled. you struggled longer than others because you lacked endurance and patience. and now you're lashing out at anon who merely observing. are your insults supposed to hurt me? they just make you look weaker
>>747531461People complaining about Carnage bosses taking to long is a legit skill issue. That's what Issen is for. You want to kill them quick you Issen them to death. Outside of that people's complains about the "open world" padding are valid. The game didn't really gain anything doing this as Kyoto itself is just an area to chase waypoints. The side quests are insanely repetitive and formulaic. The Curious Cases could have been a lot more creative than just being side quests with a cutscene at the end. It's by far the game's biggest weakness.
