The cutscenes in this game are KINO as fuck.
>>747549623
I remember when Capcom used to use Onimusha to show off their cutscene tech. Good times.https://youtu.be/iN5WFBjjtfI?t=30
>activating DT as the enemy goes berserkkino>finishing the fight with the DT enderKINO
Kinda wild to think this game is even real.
>>747549623>>747549662She has the ugly side shaved SJW hairstyle
>>747552060>tying your hair is now considered wokeYou are mentally ill.
>the game is actually much better than the demo let on
>>747552998You have the reading comprehension of a black toddler
>wow cutscenes Yes, we know PS5 has no games
>>747553214You are a mouthbreathing retard lol
>>747553214She does not have a side-shave. It's just tied back.
is this a fucking souls like
>>747553358No, it's an action game.
>>747553358it has parry so it's soulslike, i don't make the rules
>>747553334You look like this and you smell like this
>>747549623cant see shitis it important in context for it to be incredibly dark for this cutscene?
>>747553641The actual game is a lot brighter than OPs clip
>>747553641>>747553759I think it's my HDR.This is what the game looks like on my OLED.
>>747550684That CG was made by Robot, a external studio
i legit got upset at takemura's death
>>747555621he had the grandest death. practically everyone else had regret in their hearts
>>747554013Well shit. At least it demonstrated that Capcom cared to put cool shit in their games, at least.
I hate the third fight with ganryu holy shit so much I am stuck with him for 3 hours now jesus christ
>>747555938It's literally the same as ganryu(forma de cutscene loss)Unironically I had way more trouble with the bros fight
Has it been pirated yet?
>>747556468I did the twins of first try but this is killing me. His second phase is deadly, if I miss one time he combos me to death
>>747549623people bitch about the ugly woman in yotei but not the ugly woman in onimusha. really makes you think
>>747549623>>Just defeated Burai after he crushed me 5 times>>"...good fight, you're a pretty bad dude"Damn, I shouldn't feel anything for this genma with the silly biker gang theme.
>>747557039Which one is ugly here?
>>747553156It's a mixed bag for me, the bosses are great, but the Kyoto segments suck assI'd gladly take a shorter game that's all linear gameplay segments and some story like the demo over pseudo open world shit
>>747553358Nah, it's too forgiving to be considered souls like. For one thing I don't need to dodge roll after every hit
>>747553214>claims character has shaved sides>she doesn't, the hair is only tied back>proceeds to question other people's ability to readRetard of the week.
This game would've been the best in the series if they gave it Resident Evil level design, puzzles and item scarcity. It should be more like RE, not less. That's how it started out.
Is there anything else in the entirety of videogames that gives as much dopamine as a well timed issen?
>>747549623Only in the panda suit
How did Musashi mog Sekiro?
>>747558658I don't really think so desuEarly Onimusha has a lot of 'fuck you nigger' direct damage options from magic to guns that can insta delete mobs in an instant even in the later game and red souls+upgrades are much more meaningfulIn this entry, most of Musashi's damage is purely defensive and magic is much more limited and there's no offensive items so even with a maxed out character, fighting a bunch of armored mobs in the late game is still as boring and a slog as when you first encounter them
Is the game actually good though? I've been going back and forth on it based on what I've seen.
so far I've seen repeated complaints for this game-the game is too easy-no enemies and mini boss variety whatsoever-bloated openworld section sucks-side quest is half assI am not sure this game is even worth my time
>>747559285Its ok to be gay
>>747559285>-the game is too easy>-bloated openworld section sucks>-side quest is half assthere's a really easy solution to all this
>>747549623yea they are. game is just overall based af.
>>747558785A well timed ranged attack issen? Actually can it be done? I only just unlocked that skill and I've been trying to pull it off on bosses, but haven't pull it off yet.
>>747559229Kyoto itself kinda sucks and there isn't so much of the whacky tokusatsu mad science feel, it's more a generic 'japaense buddhist hell' vibe Combat is still fun but fighting trash mobs in the later game gets incredibly boringBosses are all quite fun and the trademark cheesy dialogue is still there tho
>>747549623i liked this game on the ps2 but im done with asian aesthetics its just too many games with this theme and it has to stop
>>747559508The easiest way to do it is getting the skill that lets you automatically do a ranged issen upon the dodge meter being full
>>747559535>game is literally called Onimusha
>>747559535>it has to stopwhy? do you also shit your panties crying about tales and myths of a valiant knight saving a princess? there are many things in this world which will never grow old, and in the end there truly is nothing new under the sun after all.just stop playing games you dont find appealing you retarded simpleton faggot.
I feel like there’s a reason literally every good sengoku period game has yokai and kami in it.Realistic sengoku stuff is kind of boring unless you’re turbo autistic about japanese history.
>>747560160Have you read Shigurui? no it's not boring these mfs are just lazy.
>>747559636You will never be Japanese, you will never find the love of your life in Japan, who looks like this and is a cutie pie Japanese girl. You will never be the protagonist in an anime, you will never have superpowers that allow you to overcome your most greatest tribulations, you will always be a loser.
>>747560485says the ultravirgin living in his moms basement kek
>the cutscenes>[idiotic movie term]unless it's an adventure game, that just means you're a cinematic slopper goypig
>>747549623The presentation and direction of the characters and cutscene are some of the best in ages
Is this achievement just bugged or something? I have been trying to get it by baiting a bunch of guys over to a torch and then using the glaive to create a fire tornado and it just doesn't trigger
>>747549623>okuni>means deep in nipponese
>>747563212Apparently the best way is to use the Firebird Flute, even in the drill for it, but I have also been having trouble with it. It's surprisingly tricky.
Minamoto no Yoritomo DLC when?
Gioh is too good for Ganryu and his mental illness holy shit.
>everyone calling the game too easy and the mobs too passive>get too this part>gets my shit kicked inAm I cooked?
>>747549623The hell did you to your game? Why is it so dark?
>>747559552It's not the same thing.>>747559508Yeah. The timing's very tight but there's some attacks where it's easier. Yoshi's big purple slash for instance.
>>747549623why is it so dark my game didnt look like that
But back to the original topic. I haven't felt this hyped for cutscenes since the glory days of 2000s cutscenes. Nowadays cutscenes are exposition dumps. Onimusha is more like wanna see something hype? Also Okuni :3
now that the dust has settled...is the game FUN?
>>747569116Havin' a BLAST! unironically
>>747569116YesIt's my personal gotyThe mobs aren't all that engaging, but during the boss fights when you get to engage in all the mechanics and tools at your disposal, it really shines. To the point that as soon as I beat each boss I immediately went to do the rematch. The game isn't perfect, but it was made with love and it shows
>>747568998One of the few times the cutscene budget has felt justified, ever. The characters are fun and I actually wanted to see them.
>>747569663>>747569732Neat, I was planning on buying it soonWhat was the deal with the demo anyways, was it that much of a bad representation of the actual end product or was it falseflagging?
>>747569998The demo is literally the first level. Or in the case of the original demo, the first half of the first level. It's just too sedate of an introduction because the difficulty curve in the game is very gradual.
>>747569998Nah, it's literally the case of "it's just the start of the game". That's almost always never true but for this one, it is.
>>747570154>>747570216Thanks for the info frens. Have fun with the game.
>>747567265Nah it can actually be difficult. The elite mooks are actually threats. I don't think they have anything with trivial issen timings.People hyperfixate on the fodder enemies because I guess we're all used to Souls balancing (or the NG faggots are around pretending that their generic enemies are actually difficult), but it's like DMC Marionettes or Bayo Affinities. The basic mobs are just kind of there but the elites can actually kick your teeth in if you're careless.
The cast was genuinely great, makes you want to see more of them.
>>747570562The constant NG schizoposting made me actually play Ninja Gaiden Sigma on PC for the first time and ngl, i think this is the first game i can genuinely describe as having anger issues.The enemies aren't as incredibly difficult as i tought and are actually really manageable if you get in the flow the game expects from you, but they are erratic as all fuck and are constantly jumping and moving around, it almost looks like they're trying having a tantrum in the background while you're killing their friends.
>>747560160That's like saying that every good medieval knight game has dragons and wizards because realistic European history is boring. There's like two games I can think of that dryly represent the period.
I think kabuki is cool.
>>747549623dude your game looks dark as fuck.
>>747567265Because the assisted difficulty is genuinely very breezy.I'm kinda scared of the what the jump to Carnage will be since I've been struggling a bit with grab and unblockable timings even after finishing my first playthrough.
>>747555621Takechiyo killing his brother and becoming Shogun was pretty based
>>747563212>>747565005you have to use the charged firebird fortunately it has AOE so you can group 3 enemies together and light them up
>>747569116yes very
>Blatant sequel baitaww yiss.
>>747549623>>747559463>>747560804>>747560865KINOmusha.
I love this game. No idea what /v/'s big problem with it is, but once again /v/ is retarded.
is it true all the equipment/charm level i made in action dont carry over? why the fuck am i farming for it then
>>747572964
>>747571858I don't find normal encounters in Ninja Gaiden to be that hard. The enemies are aggressive and do tons of damage on MN/UN/whatever but you generally have tools to deal with stuff and it's pretty fun. Where Ninja Gaiden gets infuriating is the boss fights which nobody ever talks about because they're utter garbage. I've beaten multiple of these games on the highest difficulty and I have no idea how most of the bosses work. They pretty much fall into two categories: either the shittiest, worst designed fun vampire that slows the game to a crawl, or you can izuna drop them and there's zero difficulty. Very stark contrast to this game where the mechanics actually work.
>>747572979I think it's only equipment that resets
>>747572979Charms and pouches carry over. Main equipment (clothes, swords, gauntlet) get reset. But also red souls and upgrade components don't, so spend all your money on those upgrades. And maybe consumables if you ever use them.
>>747549623>The cutscenes in this game are KINO as fuck.Yes, but I wish there were more like the first few fight scenes. Almost feels like they blew their load early there. Also, carnage mode is boring and fuck material grinding.
>Capcom makes a soulslike>forgets to put different weapons, stats, equipment, leveling, etc. into itBaffling. It's not a bad game but for a Souls like it's mid.
>>747559229The good parts are insanely good. The bad parts are insanely boring.
>>747573396
>>747573303The school battle's the only really big fight scene but wouldn't you rather be playing those fights than watching them?
>>747560804Gross, chink.
>>747573516Better than Indian
>>747563212I threw oil at like 4 guys then fire fluted them and I got it.>>747573515>but wouldn't you rather be playing those fights than watching them?There's plenty of fighting in the game already, and the fight choreography in cutscenes is great and I wanted to see more of it.
>>747560804Just love that you know Capcom had a blast playing around with the facial animations in this game.So many of them are so expressive.
>>7475729641. Not cracked so they can't play it2. The game has genuine issues :>half of the skill trees should have been in the base kit>terrible upgrade progressio that feels tacked on at the last minute)>the Kyoto open world is genuinely horrible>the individual zones's level design is pretty terrible>the side quests are pure padding bullshit >no enemy variety, every zone should have had its own enemies if the game wants to force 20h+ of runtime on you>Benkei 1 should have been Benkei 2>boss refights in the final zone are again here purely for paddingI like the game, but of lot if its design was very clearly made in a desperate attempt to prolong its runtime to please execs fearing the stupid dollar/hour criticism.
>>747572725The YoSHITsunewish he retained his chaotic goofiness in his other phases.
>>747573936Even the monsters were expressive kek
I hope we get some Kunitsu cross overs. Would love Soh's armor in the game.
ngl this moment made my pp twitch.
>>747574080>the Kyoto open world is genuinely horribleThe layout of Kyoto is fine. the lack of a jump button and the filler fetch quests and material grinding are not.
>>747574215Love the duo bros too, wish i took screenshots during that cutscene but i was too hyped during it that i forgot to take some
>>747549623I’ve heard the game’s lighting and calibration settings are all over the place for HDR.Has anyone gotten it solved yet?
I think I might buy this game even though I can’t afford it. The demo was really impressive.
>>747574276man did that game have some flaws but if you look for what SOUL means in a videogame its a fucking photo of Kunitsu-Gami cover artwhat a fucking experience it was
>>747549623>have some absolutely heroic or legendary figures like Yoshitsune and Kaguya in the game>turn them into absolute despicable, chaotic, no redemption but somewhat lovable villainsHow the fuck did capcom do this?
I was priding myself so much on not ever using any healing or items during any of the boss fights.But goddamn Yoshitune absolutely humbled my ass
>>747574578by embracing the fact that it's make believe fantasy and not beholden to any prior lore, expectations or historical accuracy.
>>747574345RE Engine HDR is made for HGIG in mind. If your display doesn't support HGIG then forget about HDR.
>>747574717yeah don't get me wrong, fucking love that they did this shit. I think this is ever the first time he's been depicted as an absolute monster in any japanese media ever? Then again some random japanese historical manga might have done that but who knows.
>>747575008I'm actually certain it's the first time he's ever been depicted as elderly since he died at 30 IRL.
>dlss5 shit
>>747574328that's part of it, but also every new area you unveil is more the same, the sprawling design can get very frustrating when you just wants to get somehwere fast
>>747575256>sprawlingIt takes all of 30 seconds to run across the entire map. People have become utterly retarded in calling anything that isn't a hallway "open world". It's a small map that acts as a hub and isn't any larger than the linear maps which outnumber it 6 to 1.>when you just wants to get somehwere fastI have no idea what you're talking about. You just run through alleys.
>>747575103Yeah, also afaik Yoshitsune wasn't notably attractive for the era, but to show his virtuous nature and contrast with Benkei's size and looks, he's usually made into a very handsome young man.
>>747575256>reeeee the game is too accessible >reeee the game isnt accessible enough reeeeeyou faggots are mentally ill and you have long forgotten why you ever enjoyed video games in the first place, that is if you ever liked them to begin with.there are shrines everywhere and you can ping the map so the gauntlet will guide you to it. what more do you want you faggot?
>>747549623Does anyone know why frame gen is not available in this game?
are these rifts fixed or is it caused by this charm?>
>>747575963becuase it fucked sucks and we're all better off without it.
Is any of the dlc shit good? Cursory glance makes me think no.
>>747576214Nah.
>>747575963>using anything DLSS related other than DLAA>for a fucking action game with precise timingsWhy?
>>747549623is this a mating ritual?
>>747575963It is called Frame Interpolation.
Is it not possible to get the Lion Dog charm now? Was it really only preorder only?
>>747577625yes, but they leave the hope dangling that it may be available at a later date>1. Charm: Lion Dog>2. Sword Appearance: Sealed Curse>*The above content may also become available at a later date.
>>747576512wats wrong with quality? i get more fps and it looks same frfr
I won't lie, after beating Benkei, I died three times to one of the rifts. Some of these mook combinations start to hit pretty hard.
>>747577941All fake pixels are shit.
>>747553214most retarded nigger of the day award
how is carnage mode?
Just finished carnage mode.I gotta say the combat never really clicked for me. I feel your offensive abilities are always pretty weak so you're always reacting to what the enemies are doing trying to counter appropriately. The oni armaments are the best example of this where the oni weapons in the classic Onimushas had really powerful magic attacks that gave you a turn where you were fully on the offensive. The closest thing here is the spear but it doesn't deal any significant damage in carnage. Even the oni mode is mostly reacting and fishing issen, you don't get any armor and your basic slashes still feel very weak.I hate to bring up this comparison but Sekiro did the whole parry/counter better as a whole since the way posture works in that game you get greatly rewarded for damaging enemies. Stamina in WotS is just too one dimensional, and Musashi having stamina of his own mostly serves to fuck you over if you ever get stamina broken since you can't block anymore and if you get hit the souls he releases will likely power up the boss.
I KILLED GANRYUHOLY FUCKAFTER 5 HOURS OF TRYING
>>747558785Kind of wish the Oni punch did more stamina damage to weave it into normal attacks more often. As it is, it's just the "break guard" button and not much else.
>>747579314Not very good.>>747579320>I feel your offensive abilities are always pretty weakThis is one of my biggest complaints with combat. I never had any moves at all that felt like I could attack with them to do real damage after out maneuvering an enemy or stunning them. Charged heavy is your best "normal" move and it basically tickles things. On carnage, 3 of them don't even kill anything above the weakest of mooks.
Just finished the gameGive me your coolest mods for carnage
>>747579314It just makes enemies have more HP while dealing more damage.I've heard the issen timings are also tighter but from my experience with it that's not the case.
>>747579425Kek if you had problem with him Dokyo will be hell for you
>>747560804>>747572725Love this dude.
>>747572502I didn't know I could charge it. I was spamming the three shots at crowds of mobs.Arigatou Anon-kun.
>>747580456Tip.Those big pink slashes he does are meant to be dodged at range.when up close they're ez deflects
>>747580618Aren't they one of those special undodgeable attacks?
>>747580834No, they count as ranged attacks. You can range issen them but it's very hard.
>>747580834No, they're considered ranged attacks. You can issen them too.
>>747580618I block the first two and close in to deflect the last hit, didn't realize you could dodge them since they're pink
>>747580834no. it fucked me over too for a bit.
>>747580910>>747580913>>747580928lol well fuck me
>>747580456Yoshitsune has roughly 5 health bars? Damn, that's gotta be a real marathon of a fight.
>>747580976Very cool benkei.Still not numbah 1. That's nioh 2's ceramic champion.
>>747581028No, it's just 3, but his last phase can only be damaged in oni form.
>>747580456>was mad initially that the dash up slash is nearly instant and has no startup>realize him tapping his sword on his shoulder is the startup animationSuch a well-designed fight.
>>747581064>>747580976I really liked how even as an insane mass-murdering psychopath, Yoshitsune still cared a lot for Benkei.
>>747574578Is that Takeshi?
Can't wait for the next game. Having only one playable character is weird but I reckon it won't be a problem for next time. And Dokyo better be making some robots.
those soulcrystal consumables should i be saving for fights since they heal too and give oni gauge?
>Dohatsu-ten I fucking LOVE the whole chivalrous/valiant demon who just loves a good fight thingGogandantess would be proud.
>>747581591on the one hand musashi not getting more weapons is a bit disappointing. on the other hand though small girl big weapon is peak. at the very least musashi will be dual-weidling more since that's kind his thing.
>>747581437did he thoughat first I thought >oh look he still caresand then he started yelling>"I SAID I WANTED HIM TO BE PEAK"
>>747581865He says he wanted to see him "at his finest" so i think he meant just genuinely reviving his bro as a Genma, but all Dokyo really did was defile Benkei's corpse.
why cant i chain issen these 2
>>747581591when people say the characters are great, they really just mean these two, right? Shizuka is too much of a doormat and Takamura and Musashi got along from the get-go
>>747582580Shizuka is such a yamato nadeshiko that when Musashi said he might start killing and absorbing human souls, she just goes "I'll follow you whatever you do." Lady learned nothing from Yoshitsune.
>>747582580Takamura is great
>tfw just curbstomped Yoshitsune as a pandaI think I bought into the hype too muchAs far as difficulty goes, first Dohatsu-ten without upgrades > Ganryu 3 > Shuten Doji > Yoshitsune > Dokyo > everything else
>>747576512Because instead of 85 fps with DLAA I can get a silky smooth 250 fps.
>>747582272Never trust Genma.
this might be relatively minor but one cutscene that threw me off was gioh's seppuku. she was lamenting, then sliced her neck, then stabbed her stomach, and finallyh that's when musashi was like wait no don't it. isn't the timing off? shouldn't musashi react before the blade reaches her neck?
>>747582715Oni are broadly good, but it's to the point they quite literally end up being stupid.
I'm surprised there wasn't a single callback to the older games besides the tentacle guy
>>747583027the enemy i died to the most on action mode was the starter "elite" mob
>>747576013I just don't understand why its available in say Pragmata that uses the same engine but not this game.
>>747582580I really, really hope you aren't implying that Takamura being kind to Musashi from the start makes him a bad character.
>>747583321This character is a ripoff from Outlaw Star
>>747583029I'd rather play at 85 with real frames than DLSShit.
>>747583249>he doesn't know
>>747549623>OP didn't check his shitty HDR conversion before littering his screenshots on the internet
>>747583096Yeah that's weird, tho i guess Musashi remembers that these are technically all demons from hell, so suicide might be a bit more complicated for them.
>>747583301It's funny even after hours of play I'll miss a timing with an elite which dominoes into it stun locking me and absolutely destroying me in one combo.
>>747581782It's implied that the way he finishes off Yoshitsune is him coming up with the idea of Ni-Ten Ichi-Ryu.Yeah it kind of sucks that we only get 1kat, and I had hoped 2kat would be some niche NG+ thing that we can unlock, but at least it gets a nod.
>>747583249>>747583468Yoshitsune's white aesthetic was probably a callback to Fortinbras as well.
>>747583438Frame gen works quite well these days and it's nice to match the in game frame rate to my 180 Hz monitor. It's much better than how it was a couple years ago. I'm surprised it's not an option.
>>747583642>Frame gen works quite well these daysIt's fundamentally a shit tech that I'll never use. Generated pixels can fuck off.
>>747583590Yup, and he already has the base for it with the Two Celestials armament, now they just need to develop it into it s own weapon.
>>747583360not exactly but I do wish he got more screen time. I feel like Musashi really shines when he's riffing off of someone else and Shizuka (aside from when she was Gauntlet Lady) and Takamura don't really give him much opportunity to do so.
>>747560865The protagonists throughout the *Onimusha* series are all Korean. Even Mifune has been deliberately "gook-ified." Unfortunately, this is a "woke" title that elevates Koreans while insulting the Japanese. It’s pointless to try and deny it.
>>747583867I say this without a hint of hyperbole when I say that you are a retard of the highest order and that you would do the world a favor by killing yourself.
>>747583867I deny it, provide better proof for your claims.
>>747583595Pre-release I was actually expecting him to be the genma king since Fortinbras also had a human form dressed in white in 4.
>>747549623I was genuinely floored at how dark Dokyo's plot line got.
>>747583710You can't tell the difference these days. Stop being a luddite chud.
>>747582580>Musashi>Ganryu>Okuni>Takamura>Daidara>Ifuu and Burai>Dokyo>YoshitsuneAll great.Funnily it's the oni characters that are kinda weak. I was a bit disappointed with Shuten and didn't really get what Gioh's deal was. Was she just in love with Ganryu? Why?
>>747584118>Stop being a ludditeI have a better PC than 99% of this board and I do amateur game dev in my free time on top of my science/tech job. I'm not a luddite, I just don't pretend that garbage tech is good. Generated pixels are shit They will always be shit.
>>747584212Give me a single reason as to why it's a bad tech. Why does the fact that a frame is not mathematically calculated and instead extrapolated by an AI make it bad tech?
>>747584042What do you mean?
>>747549623Damn, i can almost see what's happening
its only hitting me now that this is the only final boss where you actually fight with the game mechanics intact and isn't a completely one-sided ass kicking from your side with a bullshit infinity +1 sword you just got from the room right before the boss fightwell I guess I haven't played dawn of dreams yet but I'm guessing there's some silly shit there too, I'll find out soon enough
>>747584689>Slicing the girls Achilles tendons so she could never dance again, then turning her into a hedious mutant that just barely remembers who she used to be.
>>747583867They’re constantly scheming to have Japanese samurai roles taken over by people from various minority groups, aren't they? Ghost of Tsushima and Yotei feature characters with the faces of Chinese serfs; AC Shadows has a Black samurai protagonist and Onimusha features a Korean. Japan really has become a nation of cucks.
>>747580456Christ, those effects are fucking gay.
>>747585202Didn't they sue Ubisoft over that though?
>>747581782>small girl big weapon is peakKill yourself, you dickless zoomer faggot

>>747584197Gioh was trapped in the gauntlet by Yoshitsune and Dokyo just like Shizuka was. Ganryu consuming human souls corrupted Giohs form and soul. this was said during the third fight.
>>747584635>Why does the fact that a frame is not mathematically calculated and instead extrapolated by an AI make it bad tech?Because it's no longer put there intentionally by a dev who made it, it's just an approximation made by an algorithm. And despite you not having good eyes, people who can see things will never like the blurred, smeared look that any kind of temporal visual solution has.

>>747585730It's just tied back hair, you stupid cunt. My god, the shit you're willing to pull out of your ass just because you're afraid of being wrong.
just finished. Game was great, maybe not 10/10, I had issues with the backtracking and padding for side quests or finding dogs. but still great.it reminded me of unlocking post-game stuff in Pragmata. Just a lot of backtracking and refightswhich isn't awful, or even a lot of it in either game because I enjoyed the combat but it's still annoying and I hope it's not just how Capcom is doing these action games
>>747549623The hub and the dim lightning sucks but everything else is pretty good. I hope we see more of this franchise soon (port 3 fuck's sake) How long do I have left?
this is the most based villain in recent memory
>>747585871I am an absolute graphics fag and have a pretty high end rig with a 5070. Modern frame gen has minimal or no artifacting and with Nvidia reflex, minimal input lag as well. Being able to match the in game frame rate to my monitor's refresh rate far outweighs the downsides.
>>747588640>Being able to match the in game frame rate to my monitor's refresh rate far outweighs the downsides.I have a 5080 and I just play games above 200fps native so I don't have to delude myself into thinking that fake pixels don't look and feel like shit.
Am I the only one who preferred the English cast over Japanese? I felt Yoshitsune and Dokyo's VAs killed it in English.
>>747580456Why is 'old dude with a sword' such a fun last boss fight
>none of the main villains are actually genmaWhat did Capcom mean by this
>>747590521human beans are the real villain

>>747586676Look Jills DEImake hairstyle, it's the same shit it's side shaved without being explicitly side shaved
>>747590161Are you getting 200fps native on this specific game?
>>747590923>It's the same shit.>Except it isn't.What an absolute imbecile.
>>747590521>genma are actually da baddest dudes makes you think
i want this game so badly, but here they put a fucking $80 price on Steam for it and there's no way im paying this much. i could buy it and it wouldn't put too much of a strain on my budget, but im not paying so much money for a game out of principle, fuck this shit, just few years ago we had $60 games at max
>Dokyo is Kaguyaare we going to the moon? what the fuck is with capcom and the moonand if she wasn't a Genma then are moon people just like that? are we getting more long necked girls in a sequel
>>747549623Any word on fixing the game's fps based timings for issen? I want to play at a higher framerate than 60fps without being crippled because Capcom is retarded. That or a mod would be nice
I really like the battle system, even if it makes all bosses kinda easy, but what the fuck is with the writing in this game?Feels like at some point they felt a need to extend the runtime so they did, with all the 'close this and that' bullshit instead of keeping those strictly optional.The most retarded part was right after the girl dancer story>yeah, it's kinda sad that her friend died, isn't it?>anyway, find some of my racoonsWhat the fuck

So i just finished the first temple, did the first Kyoto section (which felt like simply padding) unlocked the training grounds and upgraded my shit.Next stop seems to be another Kyoto sectionIm not feeling it anonIm not enjoying the combat, the setting, even the way Musashi walks is infuriating meBoth the Ganryu and the first boss were simple but interesting enough, but everything else is making me want to simply uninstall.Thats all, thanks for reading my blog
>>747592378If you had a 360hz+ display, you would only benefit from 2x/3x framegen.
Anyone else randomly get an issen off by pure luck sometimes and feel like a badass?
>>747592686>Next stop seems to be another Kyoto sectionA lot of the game is running around.You get a movement speed upgrade in talent tree, and you can also install some mods that increase speed on climbing ladder and stuff, but yeah.If you aren't feeling the battle system, then there's really no point sticking with it.
>>747592227Nah theres definitely something up.I was playing at 120fps and played mostly fine but issen and the quick attack move seemed inconsistent. Im using both more consistently at 60fps. I even capped the framerate at 40fps during the boss that powers up with your blood and made it less annoying and beat him faster.
>>747592910>and beat him fasterWhy not deflect his attacks? It deals way more damage to stamina than parry and more consistent than issen.
>>747591394Cope
about to fight ganryu 3. how long till end?
>>747592770>If you had a 360hz+ displayI do.>you would only benefit from 2x/3x framegen.No thanks. My eyes and reflexes work so I don't like games that look and feel like shit.

>>747592847Yes, it's happened to me a few times.
>>747593015I did but certain moves felt unresponsive so either I could only parry it or get my shit kicked in because it didnt activate despite timing deflect on time. Maybe it's placebo but I was able to do better in that fight at 40fps than 60fps.
>>747592378lolno, I have a 5080/9800X3D. You're not getting 200+ with those settings.
>>747592156I mean, there is an emotional scene between Musashi and the girl when she asks him to kill her friend.
>>747593423I don't think you can sue someone for being disrespectful
>>747590161That's good for you but I don't feel like dropping 3-4k on a graphics card right now when I can use frame gen to compensate. Does anyone know why Onimusha doesn't offer frame gen when other RE Engine games do? I even tried forcing it through the Nvidia app and it didn't work.
>>747583867It's supposed to be Mifune in his 20s not as an old man you retard
>>747593970>Does anyone know why Onimusha doesn't offer frame gen when other RE Engine games do?Probably because the devs know that it would make an action game look and feel like shit and didn't bother implementing it.
>>747592873>If you aren't feeling the battle system, then there's really no point sticking with it.Thats sort of it, in order to get to 2 bosses that werent anything to write home about but were interesting i have had to endure pressing W to walk through a level that had 0 interesting features or challenges and beat like a hundred of the shittiest enemy i have seen in a while in a gameIm probably sticking to the next boss but i can't imagine im finishing this gameIt is what it is
>>747593870My mistake, the Japanese PM just voiced their disappointment over Ubisoft's portrayal of feudal Japan. https://www.imdb.com/news/ni65192060/?_ssoLoop=1&newac=true
>>747594028That's BS, Pragmata had frame gen without any issues.
my favorite streamer first and correct reaction at the scene was to say "Doskoi"
>>747594026Huh, damn that's literally just Musashi.They really did a good job with the faces in this game.
>>747591839I'm thinking either moon aliens or actual gods in the sequel.
Just beat it, solid 9/10. Facial animations etc. were great. Had a good chuckle when Musashi walks up behind Benkei for the second fight and you see him let out a big sigh after he hears Musashi's voice.I still have some outfits that haven't unlocked, the carnage difficulty ones and a few that say I need to finish all of the stories. Does that include the archer stuff and the oni treasures? That's all I haven't finished.
Orga...
range issen too fucking hard dokyo filtering me
>>747582580>>747582715I did find Shizuka pretty bland at times but that part where she gets ultra pissed when Dokyo was defiling her corpse was when i was fully on board with her.
Fuck this fucking gameyoshitsune is filtering me hard. I fucking get it, main boss, hardest difficulty it should be punishing, but every single time my fucking time is wasted by his fucking monologue when I can't parry. Fucking shit boss design. Fuck this fucking game.
>>747597448I like when she compliments your fighting.Like when you parry Burai's teleport attack.
>>747590232Nah i think EN Yoshitsune leaned a bit too much into bond villain territory. JP on the other hand sounds actually bat shit insane.
>>747592227>2, 3, and 8frame windows>meanwhile sekiro's deflect is 12 frames and if you fuck up, you'll block anywayAnd retards here are saying issen is too easy btw. God this board is full of posers.
Okuni barefoot mod when
>final boss yucking it up and doing Kabuki faces and dancesI kind of hope that's how a playable Okuni would go in a sequel
>>747597856Yeah it's pretty funny now hearing some people being worried back then when they hear that your gauntlet speaks. Thinking she's gonna this quirky character that might butt heads with you at times (see Forspoken cuff) But she ends up being very respectful of you most of the time, and gets genuinely worried when you get hurt.
>mfw started to autistically blow on my fingers before every hype bossfight just because i see Musashi do it a few timesPlease tell me I'm not the only one.
>>747560804So why did Yoshitsune go full schizo mode anyway? Not enough Oni pussy?
After 3 days of trying I gave up and downloaded a unlimited health mod againts Yoshitsune.
>>747599117Its called ambition. Some men have it.

>>747600080action
>>747600209anon...
>>747593634How much do you get on open world Kyoto? This game appears to be very CPU limited.
I'm finding the game really difficult, though I am playing without healing. Not sure why people are saying this game is easy.
>>747600902Same, I've been dying a lot to every boss since greater nue. Though I haven't been doing any sidequest either so my equipment might be underleveled or something. I've decided to do all sidequests and use items on carnage instead.
>>747600902>>747601154no healing makes the game a lot harder. i did that too and started to struggle after burai. though it making the game a lot harder is also very obvious you dont get like 7 literal mistake erarers
Just bought this game. Thought it would cost me an arm and a leg to get it in my shithole of a country, but was pleasantly surprised by the modest price tag. It even comes with localized audio (not that I would switch from Japanese lol).The game itself is peak parryslop. Just how I like it. Issen timing is pretty brutal, but deflecting is quite easy against most attacks. It's noticeable that the game borrows ideas from Sekiro combat, but I like what they did to them. For example, the game tells you that deflecting is for bladed attacks, and dodging is for unarmed/grabs. But you can actually dodge bladed attacks and vice versa, it's just less effective. I'm still early in the game and haven't unlocked many moves, but the core gameplay is already very enjoyable.Oh and it seems to run quite smoothly on my PC. FPS keeps up with the new monitor's 120Hz refresh rate. Although it turns my PC into a heater, but supposedly those are normal temps for this hardware to work under load, so, it's fine, I guess?
Okay , I just finished the game in carnage mode for my first playthrough and it took me 36~ hoursSome points>Game is too easy on anything but carnageEven carnage was kinda easy except the some of the bosses, if they make another game they should have a mechanic to counter 2 or even 3 attacking enemies at once so you don't fall asleep>Some of the best animation work I've ever seen, mocap, face scanning etcI don't anyone except Rockstar can get to this quality >Worst English voice acting for MusashiHad to switch to Japanese, I don't think there is any other way to get through the game>Lady Murasaki stuff was boring At first I thought the dog stories led to some kind of secrets or something, but no it's just a history lesson I can get when I randomly scroll through Wikipedia>waaaaaay too many recycled boss fights At least make them look different >I thought the first portal across the bridge where you get your level 4 upgrades was story lockedIt took me a while to figure out that there was a way across, played a good chunk of the game without multi issen lmao>I forgot the Soul Slicer so Yoshitsune kept destroying me for 3 hoursI enjoyed the fight a lot, probably more than with it, but I do think making weapons that are so important missable is a bit of a game design flaw Overall a true 8/10 in non-inflated score, hoping for a sequel where some stuff is fixed
>>747599680>>747600209Judging you.
Holy FUCK fighting a boss in this and having everything click is genuinely a really good feeling.
Damn okay I can see why people were complaining about Carnage at Ganryu 3. Bosses are getting incredibly tanky. Felt like I was tickling Benkei 2.
once you understand the frame data behind issen it becomes a lot more approachable and it speeds bosses up a bunch, even if you're not a timing god. and if you ARE a timing god you get rewarded even more. pretty good design.
>>747602059I mean you'd have to know which attacks are easier to issen. Which you can only really do by trial and error and muscle memory.
>>747602210i think they should probably have a tell. i THINK its just consistently always overhead attacks but i also dont know for sure if theres other attacks that have an 8 frame window instead of 2.
>>747602210I kind of hate that I pushed issen into the "it'll never happen on purpose" part of my brain when it can be move dependentlike the giant fuckoff sword swings from the final boss, easiest issen of my life
>>747601842>carnage mode for my first playthroughHuh? I thought you can only select story or action. Or do you mean it unlocks midway through the game? Can you really count as a carnage "playthrough"? It would only be a carnage playhalfthrough.
>>747602428No I used a mod to change into carnage at will, I played the first hour on action and I immediately waited for the hard mode mod The only downside is that I didn't unlock the the outfits you get when completing the story on action
>>747549623>scaring the neighbor's kid
how reasonable is a no-healing playthrough, on action?
>>747603090I'm still not done with the game but not using heals improve it exponentially. They really should have made a difficulty mode that doesn't let you use heals.
>>747603386Especially since you get to heal through orbs when you deplete their stamina anyways. Feels pretty natural.
>>747603090>no healingWhat's the point when the game has autosaves?It's not like Dark Souls 2 no deaths+no bonfires playthrough.
>>747603715NTA but presumably they're talking about not healing on boss fights, not literally never healing.
You know Yoshi kinda looks familiar. Like saw him and remembered a guy. Then an anon here pointed out that Yoshi looks like Takeshi Kitano. If Capcom reaally did make him with Kitano's likeness in mind, then bonus points to them.
>>747603715What does this post even mean?>>747603776No, I don't use heals ever. Even the mobs mid game become deadly when you're doing the rifts.

Im about to rematch the wind and lightning niggas, around how much of the game is left
>>747605414About half?
The input buffering/eaten inputs are really fucking bad sometimes, especially with the retarded recovery frames on a lot of animations.
mfw at ganryu 3 on carnage
is the game good?
>>747605739wtf this is a lot longer than i expected
>>747607352It's a game that does pretty much everything it can to hit 20 something hours even if some of those 20 hours feel like pure padding.
>>747579320>The oni armaments are the best example of this where the oni weapons in the classic Onimushas had really powerful magic attacks that gave you a turn where you were fully on the offensiveDoes the flute not flinch enemies every time you shoot out a bird in Carnage? I get that the damage is low but it's definitely your turn when you chain flinch the boss.
>>747608234It does.
>>747590232Good lord no.
>>747605819Skill issue. You can cancel everything into parry/deflect/reflex dodge/issen.
>>747606967I dunno what the fuck happened but it feels like at this point, every boss got triple the HP.
>>747590232I don't think the dub was poor quality, I agree they were actually doing a great jobMusashi is just so fucking bri'ish and I couldn't stand it. The Genma are going to ask if I've got a loicence for that waki on my hip.so I played in original Japanese
>>747608234From my experience all oni armaments stagger and generally have i-frames, but they're a far cry from classic oni weapons which had their own separate bars and let you use their magic attacks multiple times so you could mag dump onto even bosses relentlessly.In WotS you just don't get enough meter for something like that, you have at most two charges that have to be shared between six different weapons that have completely different uses. In classic Onimusha magic attacks where a matter of resource trading whereas here they're far more situational.Bishamon is yet another example of how much limited offense is WotS, in the originals it was an "I win" button that was limited to the final boss if you bothered with a difficult trial, whereas now it simply gives you larger issen windows; it's fun in its own way, but it's nowhere near the tension relief of having an instakill weapon, you're still interacting with the same mechanics and counter checks, the game just can't bring itself to empower you too much.
>>747609250>You can cancel everything into parry/deflect/reflex dodge/issen.Objectively wrong. A lot of recovery states can only be early canceled with dodges.
>>747609612Wait, Bishamon is functional?
>>747594663>They really did a good job with the faces in this game.They always have with the onimusha Series.Samanosuke was Takeshi Kaneshiro, Jubei was Yusaku Matsuda, Jacques was Jean Reno, and Musashi's Mifune.
>>747609838Yes, and it makes me wonder why they didn't do something similar with the other sword skins.Imagine if the other swords had modifiers like>deals more health damage>deals more stamina damage>releases more souls>gains more blaze state>procs fireThey even had Raizan and Enryu skins for the deluxe edition but to my knowledge they don't do anything special either.It could've been so much more interesting than what we got. Even changing your attack animations isn't too unfeasable as long as you're still using a sword for all the parry animations.
>>747610417It really boggles me how Capcom just decided to gut Onimusha by making the katana the only weapon you fight with.
asking for magic spam i win when people are already complaining that it's too easy is retarded
>>747610793Yeah, I don't know what they're on about. Mashing triangle to shit out free damage isn't going to add any depth.
>>747610417yeah its definitely a dropped ball with the katana skinseverything else thats unlocked periodically has some sort of effect, whether it be the oni weapons or the issen upgrades and what not
>>747610936I don't think anyone's complaining about magic spam not being a thing, just bringing up how limited main combat is. It's the same "give us more weapon variety" complaint that people had with Ghosts of Tsushima. Hell, even >>747610417is just talking about having the skins offer different properties to the sword.
>>747611337They literally are. >they're a far cry from classic oni weapons which had their own separate bars and let you use their magic attacks multiple times so you could mag dump onto even bosses relentlessly.
>>747610417I think it's fine that they're cosmetic.If anything this game needs fewer RPG mechanics.
>>747611593Read the rest of the conversation anon, it's a comparison between the functions of Oni weapons then vs now.
>>747560804I didn't expect the cast of characters in this game to be as fantastic as they were
currently playing through the ps2 games in preparation for the new game why the fuck do i have to play through the second game 4 times to experience everything
>>747611978because it's based
>>747611694Yes, and it's crazy to think the magic attacks were better in the old games.
autist musashi doesnt wanna take a load off
>>747612179I wouldn't know about better but it definitely made more sense. Why would the magic of the oni weapon be a shared resource? It'd be like a desert eagle, a rocket launcher, and a p90 all using birdshot as ammunition.
>>747612179Why? What's wrong with letting the player win sometimes?Don't get me wrong, I actually liked the way WotS handled diffuculty, but after playing carnage I just wish they let me tackle encounters in more ways.My comment about the old weapons was in reference to an Anon bringing up the flute's ability to stagger things, and I wish that kind of technicality mattered in the game, but it doesn't. It's just really suffocating.
>>747591839>>747594743Could have been a moon alien/deity that got converted into a Genma, much like Shuten Doji is an Oni who became one from being so fucking evil and degenerate.
>>747612530not that guy but magic orbs recharge all weapons equally in the older games and they aren't decreased at allall weapons gets charged at the same time and all of them have different meters, if we're going with your analogy then it's like every gun uses the same ammo but each of them spends them separatelyit makes a lot of boss fights very easy with zero interaction
ENTER
Ganryu 3 on carnage is a fucking nigger with his pokes. This difficulty sucks.
>>747613006>not that guy but magic orbs recharge all weapons equally in the older games and they aren't decreased at allYeah but they also have individual levels rather than a shared one. It's not like strictly sticking with enryuu is going to level up raizan. Why would their magic consumption be a shared resource but not their gained exp?
I kinda wish there were more offensive optionsFinding a blue fountain in the older games always felt great since it means you can magdump everyone nearby
>>747613113when the game started getting real fun
>>747613113I'm surprised they showed enough restraint to not throw two at youor one of him and another of the other mini-boss dorks
>>747609973>JubeiI actually don't remember Jubei emoting at all.
>>747613178you're not using levels to use magic, you're using your magic meter
Does my oni stone count and skill level stay in Carnage? im in the last stage of the game after killing benkei 2 and im missing a stone to max special skills
What's better, English or Japanese voices?
>>747613274Yeah but they're gaining levels through the usage of said magic meter. Why the fuck would that not be shared?Even the dragon orbs have a different exp pool from the oni weapons, and the weapons are obtained the same time that you get the orbs. You'd think they'd be linked, but no, they aren't.
>>747599117He thrives in chaos so when the war ended and order was restored, he wanted to keep going and the oni and his brother turned against him.
>>747613301Skills yes, stones no.
>>747613352why are you arguing about exp? are you stupid?
>>747613301NG+ resets equipment levels but everything else stays. You can get as many stones as you want but there's going to be a couple oni stones in a chest before the final boss anyway.
>>747613352also they're not gaining levels through using magic meters
>>747613446I'm arguing that the acquisition of exp being separate means that they aren't inextricably linked, so it makes little sense that the mana pool is linked. Think of it this way, you perceive them being able to get their mana restored as though it's one big ole barrel of mana they're all pulling from. I'm saying it's more like each weapon has its own flask of mana that they pull from.
>>747559058By being a cool dude and not a manlet.
>>747585351He's right, you joyless faggot.
Give me your sincere opinions on this man.>>747613308I tried both, JP is always best in most cases, but you do eventually warm up to the english voice when you meet the more colorful characters.
>>747613585jesus christ dude, none of that matters, it doesn't matter how you rationalize how it workswhat matters is they all recharge with the same fuel but spend them separately and it makes magic spamming too strongyou're arguing about worthless shit
>>747613868>you're arguing about worthless shit>says the guy playing fun police on how people should experience a single player game
>>747579320>I hate to bring up this comparison but Sekiro did the whole parry/counter better as a whole since the way posture works in that game you get greatly rewarded for damaging enemies. Stamina in WotS is just too one dimensional, and Musashi having stamina of his own mostly serves to fuck you over if you ever get stamina broken since you can't block anymore and if you get hit the souls he releases will likely power up the boss.What the fuck are you talking about? It's a guardbreak bar dude, you get punished for passive blocking. That's the point. How is this not vastly superior to Sekiro's retarded system where you get posture broken but then nothing happens because enemies very rarely take advantage and you can cancel out of the guardbreak?
>>747613804>MusashiGenuinely a bit TOO retarded, hope they show a more mature Musashi in a hypotetical sequel.Also English Takamura is great.
>>747613308Whichever one you speak better.English is very soulful, remember to keep the Genma as funny little theater characters.
>>747614657English Takamura and YoSHITsune have the same VA.
>>747598536Literally the secret to this kind of character. Make them speaking rather little and feel helpful. But fuckers can't control themselves and have a quippy fuck talking your ears off 24/7. Capcom showed a lot of restraint here. Okuni is bratty and abrasive, but also earnest and caring. Musashi is a braggart and a loudmouth, but he's also disciplined and dedicated. Doukyou is a cackling lunatic, but also incredibly vicious and callous.Shit could have gone wrongs in so many places, but they knew when to pull back. A real masterclass.Also, Shikibu is waifu.
>benkeiMy fucking COCKholy SHIT the parry/deflect effects are amazing
>think the game is fairly challenging and really good>watch someone else play the game>they're just spamming deflects over and over and never even trying to go for an issen even once>watch them complain that the game is too easy and issen is too easy because they use it on mobsthey should have reduced stamina damage for every consecutive deflects
>>747612530Because they all run off the gauntlet.
>>747615125Also, Musashi is prime "upstaged by others, likely a woman" material, but he's pretty solidly shown as just a genuinely great swordsman who only gets "upstaged" because his enemies are actually demons from hell, the only single, Gauntletless human that's actually on his level is Takamura, who has had 700 years to build muscle and hone his swordmanship.
I'm 6 hours in and just heard about blazing state. How do you even use it?
>>747615494I could explain it but evidence suggest you'll be too stupid to understand it.Instead just keep doing what ur doing king
>>747615494You have to parrygod consistently then you can style on the enemies
>>747604696Gay. I want to slow walk sideways like in my Samurai movies.
>>747615561Ok that's what I thought, I didn't know because I usually only parried when the enemy forces you to>>747615523Nah, despite being a frogposter I have a high verbal and reading iq
>>747612357True to the Yoshikawa Eiji novel.
>>747614020>you get punished for passive blocking. That's the pointExcept getting stamina broken also entails losing oni/awakening bar as well and the boss eating your souls triggering their second phase early while you're stunlocked.
damn this nigga yoshitsune emoting on me
>>747615448Takamura has a gauntlet, though.
>>747615494you have to unlock it in the skills unlock tree thingget blazing state and reflex state asap, then the others dont matter that much, perhaps ranged issen 3rd
>>747615494Depending on where you are at you might not have it yet. It's something you unlock fairly early on
I find the whole difficulty discussion very silly, not only it's largely subjective but it also depends on the person's experience with similar games, or just games in general. For example, many shmup players will say video related isn't too hard to clear with 1 credit, while for most people it seems like an incredible feat few can achieve.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uxi9GgMfwO0I would say this Onimusha is more tightly designed and overall harder than the classic titles, and definitely more challenging than most AAA action games we have now.
>>747616163CHACHAMARU!!!!!!!
>>747616147>>747616152Thank you. I just realized I haven't unlocked it and have been taking my sweet ass time with the game (just beat the great nue).
>>747616291yeah i only noticed i was missing it when i went to look at a playthrough and they were before me but had a blue blazing sword
the game is at its funnest when you try to force as many (true)issens against bosses as you can
>>747616414I don't know why but I always fish out for overhead attacks since I find them the easiest to issen counter. Attacks from any other angle are fucky timing wise and lead to me eating shit most of the time
>>747616558>Attacks from any other angle are fucky timing wise and lead to me eating shit most of the timeThis. Depth perception is a bitch and doesn't help the timing for every issen is super strict, which means misjudging the distance of an attack point by even a millimeter will fuck you.
I have everything on highest yet my game looks like its on fullbright. Anyone know what setting Im missing
>>747616792No RT perhaps?Capcom are also treating this like DMC5 where ingame models/lighting is noticeably worse in order to maintain better FPS for the gameplay.
Dokyo and Yoshitsune are legitimaly the best villains I've seen in a whilethey are just assholes and they love it
>>747616861RT on highest. Looks no difference with it off either
>>747616917Forgot to include pic
>>747616021fuck he omnislash me too
>>747616792HDR?Maybe try grabbing the RHI app and install RE Framework, Reshade and RenoDX HDR to the game.
>>747606967You know, i love the little detail on how Musashi gets disheartened whenever he see Ganryu becoming more evil. He was pretty abrasive with him in the beginning but it's obvious they have history and i think Musashi genuinely enjoys having sword duels with the guy. So he just gets more and more disappointed that Ganryu was going down this monstrous path.
>>747616861RT in this game is only for reflections by default.>>747616792RenoDX fixes the black levels but the lighting in the game isn't amazing. It's using probe GI but that combined with overbright fog kind of gives everything a weird ambient glow. And then some objects like breakable pots just don't obey lighting properly at all.https://www.nexusmods.com/onimushawayofthesword/mods/48?tab=descriptionThis mod adds RT GI and can fix some of the lighting issues at the cost of RT noise.
>>747553331this is a multiplat game
My GOTY atm CAPGODS
>>747559058funny jackie chan-esque protagonisy beats pretentious "says absolutely fuckall" protagonist any day. fromsoftware has no clue how to wrote compelling protags
So ganryu dlc?
>>747573051>nobody ever talks about/ourguy/ does.
>>747618134Fromsoft don't write compelling protags. Like as in they don't even bother to make them a character in majority of their games, it's not even comparable.The last time before sekiro they made the MC a character was all the way back in 2009 with ninja blade.
>>747575565>also afaik Yoshitsune wasn't notably attractive for the era,then why does fictional media ALWAYS portray him as being pretty
>>747604149kissing white men
>>747618309read the rest of the post nigga
If this picks up into a new Onimusha series I hope Ganryu becomes our 2nd playable character/VergilAND WE FINALLY GET LADIES NIGHT DLC WITH PLAYABLE SHIZUKA AND OKUNI
>>747618520I'd be surprised if it didn't considering it's had mass critical and consumer appeal and apparently sold over a mil within a week.
>Musashi finally pulls out >the other sword
KINO
>>747604149kissing
>>747617758you saying there is room for love in their rivalry
>>747549623Why is that bitch so ugly? Is she chinese?
>>747618590I was waiting the entire game for him to dual wield that moment was so based
>>747579320I haven't played the game yet but I don't see where the player expression or offensive options are compared to Sekiro or Nioh
>>747618590Now we just need him to cave in ganryus head with an oar and the legend will be complete.
>>747618939she's cuteyou on the other hand, are brown
>>747618241>Fromsoft don't write compelling protags.right, because they don't know how to
Was kinda surprised just how much kabuki is present throughout the game>Multiple enemies do mie poses>even musashi does it sometimes>everything about okuni>yoshiitsume straight up does kabuki dances
>>747618965it's kind of a mix between the 2
>>747579320Sekiro is piss easy Yoshi took me way more tries than Issen. You can just spam parry in Sekiro and beat the whole game that way at least Onimusha punishes button spam.
>>747619136i've been noticing this more and more with jap devs putting kabuki stuff in their samurai games lately. demon of hatred in sekiro does kabuki poses and team ninja sometimes puts kabuki armor and emotes in their games seemingly as a gag (kagekiyo armor in nioh 2, goemon mask in nioh 3, kabuki actor set in rise of ronin)
>>747618850Well he is still alive at the end, maybe the sequel can have some kind of redemption for him. Here's hoping
>>747618770>had the takamura pre-order charm jingling on my belt when he drops his haori
WHERE ARE THE SILLY ROBOTS
>>747574509proof that soul can still exist in modern gaming
It's kind of funny. RE9 and MH: Wilds were mid but Pragmata and this game are great. Capcom should give their main IPs a rest for a bit.
>>747574276>>747574509>>747619598>modern AAA game dev finally made something weird, experimental, unique but also beautiful. >no one bought the damn thing. It's obvious nowadays the issue isn't the developers but the fucking general audience
>>747549623Does the game change to max settings during cutscenes? cause I'm playing on mid/low and cutscenes look really gud
Is musashi like 5’3
chain issens are so much better without the stupid slowdown and finisher
>>747620313cutscenes have better models/lighting. this a ancient technique that's been used since the PS2.
>Dohatsu-tenThis guy mogs the fuck out of 90% of modern bosses
Why didnt they give a joke sword if they gave 2 joke outfits
>mfw the final boss
>>747620332Historically he was considered very tall for the time and by records was around the 6 foot mark.This might just be him getting gassed up as history passed however since this would mean Ganryu would be even larger since he is believed to be taller and broader than Musashi due to him easily wielding an odachi.Could very well be that Musashi was tall but not 6 foot tall IRL.
>>747620510There is a joke sword as DLC.
>>747620313lighting artists will put extra shadow casting light sources on cutscenes, pretty standard stuff
>>747590923Jesus Christ kid find a new hobby.
need to play pragmata before eoy to see whats the best capcom game
>>747620313Pretty sure it's different models. I think for a while Capcom has had gameplay models and then cutscene models.
>>747616792No NVIDIA sponsorship this time, it seems. So I guess they developed it around the Switch version as the baseline and worked their way up from there, with the PS5 version essentially being the ceiling.
>>747620332afaik, historical records mostly put him around 5'10, which is pretty short nowadays, but would be unusually tall for the era musashi was born in
>>747621092>which is pretty short nowadayswhatcha doing there anon?
>>747620510>>747620791also the boat oar sword
>>747619695Really? I haven't played Monster Hunter, but I felt like the other Capcom games all had pacing issues, IMO. RE9 felt like they took a half-finished horror RE and merged it with a half-finished action RE. Pragmata felt like a 2 hour demo stretched out into a 10 hour game. Onimusha was a solid 6 hour action game that got dragged out to 20 hours, etc.I mean, I played and enjoyed all of them, but the pacing definitely held them back. Personally, in terms of overall enjoyment, I'd rank them RE9 > Onimusha >>> Pragmata.
>>747616792Nigga you got 4k hours in Dota 2.
>>747616163I'm at the very end of carnage and just need to kill Yoshitsune and then rematch him and I've 100%'d the game. It's definitely hard, but I don't like the way carnage is hard. I liked doing charmless demon bell runs on Sekiro much more.
>>747590232No, I also prefer English. When they first showcased the game I thought to myself "lol first thing im doing is switching to Japanese", even upon starting the game I thought I was gonna really hate musashis VA but it grew on me and I ended up playing through to the end that way. The arrogance in his voice suits his demeanor throughout the game. The Japanese VA sounds too chill to me.
Just beat the game> + satisfying combat> + great bosses> + some elite mooks are alright> + musashi's face> + schizo villains are fun to watch> + cutscenes are a treat> + dohatsu-ten> - kyoto sucks> - sidequests are ass> - murasaki keeps teleporting you without consent> - chain issen is too easy to do> - deflect is too strong> - no funny robots> - byakue7/10 next one will be goated
>>747587183the hardest Pragmata unlock is nutshttps://media.baraag.net/media_attachments/files/117/247/212/089/429/214/original/56fb391f784cddab.mp4
>>747621865>baraagthis is porn isn't it?
>>747621905it's just a lewd costume, no nudity
>>747621862Did the one with french mc have robots? I dont remember
>>747618998Isn't Ganryu's head and body deep down in the depths of hell? That'll be the final boss of This Onimusha series where Musashi rows down the Sanzu river to confront some demon god Ganryu who grafted his head on Takamura or something and cleaves his ass apart with his giant oar sword.
>>747622559didn't finish the game award.
>>747622559>Isn't Ganryu's head and body deep down in the depths of hell?you didn't skip the credits, did you?
>>747621240Wait, there's a boat oar DLC sword? If I have to pay for it, I'll be very upset.
Nice free MH outfits
>>747621862>murasaki keeps teleporting you without consentYou get to stare at her lips when she does, so it's okay.
>>747620332>>747620634>>747621092>>747621176He was a big guy
>>747622458
if only the new gundam game comes out this year it wouldve been a good contender too
>>747590521Fortinbras as the secret DLC villain trust.
>>747549623Not watching or reading this thread to avoid spoilers, but yeah they are.
>>747618850man that moment where ganryu is spilling his depressed lonely heart and crying before Gioh comes out makes me pity him so much, a tragic figure thats fully corruptedhis character is such a cool archetype
>they dont know im an onimusha
>>747623138Fuck that. It was great that they didn't recycle any of the old villains.
how do i chain isseni fuck it up every time
So with the release of this game is picrel canon to the Onimusha timeline or not?
>>747623820no
>>747617758>>747618850>>747623395If you guys care to know more about Ganryu, there's actually an official prequel webcomic focusing on Ganryu a bit before and during the events of the game. You also get to see him and Gioh interact before her corruption happens.This also has Musashi bonking Ganryu over the head with the boat oar.
>>747623621There's a flash on the sword, that's your cue.
>>747623820anime sucked, though the tomboy loli was cute
>>747619913And this is why major studios don't do smaller titles anymore. It's tragic.
>>747549623Yeah I love the CUTSCENES and the CORRIDORS they're so SPOOKY and the EXPLORATION and the PUZZLEScombat? there's combat in onimusha?
>>747623820Nope.For it to be canon, Musashi and Sasaki have to completely forget just about everything that happened in this game.
>>747625347what?
>>747619590Different Genma i guess?The Genma in Way of the Sword are inspired by japanese folklore and have japanese names, something that the original games' Genma pointedly didn't have to contrast them with the mostly good Japanese Oni.We might see silly robots if Dokyo's race is expnded upon tho.
>>747625347What could this possibly mean?
>>747621049I think it's just that they were targeting a locked 60 FPS on PS5 and didn't want to do anything extraneous. The extra RT features short of pathtracing are included in the game and that's how mods are adding those effects, but the game isn't designed for that at all because some areas are almost unlit.Something that it does make me think about though is how reactionary faggots on /v/ are always complaining about diminishing returns in graphics and how they think graphics plateaued 10 years ago or whatever. But you look at this game where the cutscenes are beautiful and the actual game isn't quite there and we clearly need advancements in rendering that could bridge that gap. There's still juice left to squeeze.
putting a time limit on puzzles is pretty funnyyou'd know immediately who's a retard when they complain about shizuka backseating
>>747627241what?
>>747628646if you take too long she just tells you the answer
>>747627241they've had timed puzzles in all the games, guess they're keeping the tradition alive
>another ByakueDo they ever mix it up, judging by the upgrades my gear need the answer seems to be no.
>>747630005this entire section was assthe only good thing about it is it only happens once
Is there enough resources in the game to max out everything in a single playthrough? Do you need to/can you farm upgrade materials?
