Do you remember?
The 21st night of September?
the first one is better, but this one def brings out a lot of the best in terms of the games style.
>>315302463
Every time I see this box art I think of Jackie Chan.
>>315302563
Love was changing the mind of pretenders
>>315302463
Wasn't the first game better?
>>315302463
I could never forget.Juuuuuuuuuubei! Juuuubei!

>>315304021
Gogandantess spin-off when?
>>315302670
While chasing the clouds awayonimusha 3's intro was so fucking cool
>>315304130
M-muh dick.
That would fucking amazing.
>>315304196
Too bad it nearly killed the franchise.And then 4 sealed the deal
I rememberTHIS GOLDEN EVIL STATUEYOU WILL DIE*ELEPHANT SOUNDS*
It was interesting but probably the weakest of the trilogy overall. I do wish that they retained and further built on the town segment instead of just dropping it completely but I can understand why they would.
>>315304330
I only played 1-3, thank goodness
Is 4 really that bad?
Should I get the Xbox version of the first game or the PS2 version?
>>315304521
Apparantly it has slowdown in some areas (not sure how much exactly) but is otherwise way better.
>>315304405
Not really, but the ending pulls a power of friendship bullshit to kill off Fortinbras.
I thought Onimusha 3 was the best in the series but it sold terribly.
>>315304521
the xbox version had some new content iirc, I dont know if you could choose jap language over the english dub tho
>>315303761
spike seagull
>>315304521
Genma Onimusha is the vastly superior version if you have an Xbox to play it on.
It's got much better graphics and sound, and extra content.
yes, I remember
4 > 2 > 1/3
>>315304405
Didn't like how they replaced the small but varied selection of weapons with a bazillion samey ones. Other than that it's not too bad gameplay-wise.
The change of tone and aesthetics pissed off almost everyone though.
>>315304696
>Onimusha 3
>best in series
>2012+3
>>315304521
No difference. Have played both.
>>315304405
4 was fucking shocking. I honestly can't choose a favourite out of 1 to 3. They all have their positives and negatives.
>>315304890
Spotted the autist.
>>315304957
What you don't think Blade Warriors was the best do you?
I only ever played one.
The more the game progressed the less i liked it to be honest. I hated the power ranger shit weapon design, i wanted to use actual weapons like the katana you start with.
>>315305117
found the dumbass pleb
Of course I do you're favorite game in the series.
>>315302463
>>315304196
Oh yeah now i remember, fresh webm time.
>>315303586
I liked 2 better
I played through the series with my uncle a long time back, and by played through I mean I watched and strategized since I was young and bad at videogames.
I gotta play them myself some day. They were good times secondhand.
>>315305748
Came into this thread hoping for this
I bought that game for two dollars 4 months ago and i haven't even touched it
>>315305748
>fight against the strongest demon warrior
>it's a fucking cg cutscene at the beginning of the game
seriously fuck 3 and how overrated it is because of muh Reno
3 > 2 > 1 > 4
>>315306040
Well..at least he was in the fighting game.
2 is the best. Great, goofy characters, excellent soundtrack and overall best atmosphere/story (yes, I know it's retarded).
1 was a ground foundation with superb mechanics that 2 built upon. Good OST, fun story, but feels more like a rough draft that 2 built on.
3 should've been a step forward but the switch to full-3D was a clusterfuck considering there were still fixed (bad) camera angles. Overemphasis on shitty puzzles and no Jean Reno for dub. Worst story of the bunch (HENRIIIIII).
4, who cares
How would you want a good 2016 onimusha game?
I played 1,2 and 3 a long time ago so it's pretty blurry to me
>>315306074
>m-muh Reno.. !
>>315306302
>m-muh presents..!
>>315306237
4 - GOATest of soundtracks, multiple characters to play as, lots of neat stuff (weapons) to collect. long/most content
You have to be some kind of braindead retard to not value 4 the most.
>>315306242
Great question, I often think about this.
It'd be cool to go back to fixed camera angles and the style of the classic games, but perhaps something like RE6's control scheme and movement mechanics, but with swords, could work.
>>315306242

>>315306237

>>315306040
Représente la france, honhonhon.
Here's one for you.
>>315306528
Sorry senpai, but by the time 4 came out I couldn't give less of a shit about it. Too many other games to play at the time. Maybe someday I'll go back and play it but I doubt it.
>>315306562
>fixed camera angles

>>315306659
Is there an HD video with sound out there somewhere?
I need to see it in all its glory.
man I remember back then my mind being fucking blown when Onimusha's 4 little girl shared the same name (last name? fuck if I know Japanese) as 2's main character.
best character btw
>>315306237

4 did have a nice soundtrack, yeah.
>multiple characters to play as
and they're almost all a bunch of anime cliches. Also you had to deal with some of the worst partner AI in that entire generation of games.
>lots of neat stuff (weapons) to collect
yes, tons and tons of very samey weapons everywhere. I prefer the older game's method of spacing out weapons but having each one being extremely different to each other.
>long/most content
because it had the most padding. The unnecessary levelling mechanic in this particular game and shitty areas like Dark Realm exist solely to extend play time.
DoD tried to be more like DMC for some reason, it resulted in something that was neither a great Onimusha game or a great DMC game.
>>315304521
Xbox version is way better
>>315304853
How is that?
>>315304890
agree
>>315308407
I can't say I agree, having owned and played Onimusha, Genma Onimusha, Onimusha 2, Onimusha 3 and Onimusha DoD. And the shitty GBA Onimusha Tactics. Even Blade Warriors. As far as I'm concerned Onimusha Soul does not exist.
DoD gameplay is just fun and there's plenty of it.

>>315302463
YUUUUUUUBEEEEEIIIIIIIII
OH YUUUUUUUUUBEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIII
COME TO ME YUUUUUBEEEEIIIII
this series is completely dead, right?
the last one I played was Dawn of Dreams (thank capcom for the glorious dual audio) and that shit came out when I was still in school
>>315306564
What the fuck. Why is the samurai some random blonde white guy
2 was the only Onimusha game I played, but I loved it. I should play it again.
How are the other games?
>>315311247
It's usually best to ignore DoD haters, they never have any actual fact based bad things to say.
Just some baseless, vague and highly subjective opinions.
>>315309249
I think one of the things I loved the most about the intro was that Jubei returns to his village to find everyone slaughtered, then confronts a mysterious demon woman he'd never met before - yet not once does he doubt her when she tells him Nobunaga did it. He just immediately supposes she's right and goes to slaughter the warlord.
>>315311370
Yup. Deader than dead.
Capcom might release HD versions of the original 4 though.
>>315310198
I have one. Or two I think, since I have a feeling my dad gave his away.
One of my biggest regrets was that I took mine out of the packaging and lost most of the accessories, because I played with them like toys as I was sorta young when my parents gave them to me.
>>315311710
that's a little sad but I expected nothing from crapcum anyways
>>315311609
Onimusha 2 is unique. The others are more straightforward. Onimusha 2 is really built around taking different routes in multiple playthroughs. 4 is most like 2 but not quite the same. 1 and 3 are quite similar. Blade Warriors and Tactics are quite bleh in their own genres.
>>315311826
such a shame this game never really took off
>>315311609
1 is ultra short, I beat it in the same day I bought it in a few hours, but it's still nice. 3 is good, 4 is completely different.
>>315311609
They're all pretty good. I also think every game in the series has one or two areas in which it surpasses all the others, so they're all worth playing.
>>315311710
They can't. Onimusha used actor's likenesses which means Capcom would have to make sure every actor agrees and gets royalties for every new HD game sold.
>>315312094
Or just change the faces enough so they don't have to.
>>315312094
well fuck me
>>315312168
That would suck.
>>315312168
Which is what they did with Samanosuke's face on 4
>2015
>DoD still gets shit on by people despite being the best game in the series
>>315311826
>I expected nothing from crapcum anyways
When is this dumb meme going to end?
>>315313028
crapcum is almost as shit as kucknami these days
>>315313028
When Capcom quits being crap, duh
>>315311247
>broken up into clearly defined sections instead of being continuous, like DMC
>more DMC-esque movesets, moreso the other characters than Soki himself
>wacky demon hunting tone and atmosphere akin to DMC
It definitely tried to latch onto DMC's popularity. Seems a bit weirder now due to DMC has become the standard for the combat-focused action genre perhaps but everyone at the time was comparing DoD to DMC for a reason.
>>315311636
>Just some baseless, vague
I actually pointed out specifics about why I dislike the game though, the people replying to me are the ones being vague.
>and highly subjective opinions.
Did I say what I was saying was objective fact? no shit it's my opinion, genius
>>315311912
that game was awesome
I remember hating the stealth sections with the blonde fag and a couple of egyptian loli twins
and of course the dismemberment, achievements, USE THIS etc
I fucking loved using that huge ass golden halberd with incredible attack stats, those charged strong attacks felt satisfying and oh so many limbs on the ground afterwards
>>315306074
EXACTLY.
Onimusha 4 was a fucking travesty. Replacing 3 unique weapons with 400 samey ones spread over 4 characters that required you to grind souls like a motherfucker.
And that magic issen. A single game mechanics that removes 100% of the game's challenge.
>>315313710
>USE THIS
>BLOODY TOMATO
>RUNDOWN BEATDOWN
I REALLY want to go back to this series again and replay the first three games at least but since it's so hard to find cheap PS2 copies, I probably never will unless Capcom sorts its shit out with the licensing bullshit.
>>315313028
When they stop sucking and return to its former glory? Where is deep down now? They announced that shit years ago and we still hear nothing of it. The worst part is it is just a F2P game.
>>315313710
fuck this, though
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9D1p-chWmE
>>315313816
Also: bland playable characters, most of them are no fun to play as. 100 DARK REALMS LEVELS FOR EVERY CHARACTERS, all of which are trivial because magic issen is broken as fuck.
I fucking hated that game, man.
>>315304021
You know I was really expecting someone more composed and deeper voice sounding.
>>315304130
Never, the market is in browser games
>>315313901
Actually I just checked Amazon and the prices are not that bad.
My favorite Onimusha it had it all, replayability, good difficulty, cool secrets, and a great soundtrack. Also dat fucking intro.
>>315313901
Just emulate that shit. A crappy gayman PC with a $100 graphic card can do PS2 emulation just fine. You should only use your PS2 on games that can't be emulated.
>>315314573
You don't know what you are talking about. Shut the fuck up.
>>315314956
Stupid nostalgia fag
I only ever played 3 but I really liked the general concept of shogunate/samurai-era horror game and time-travelling between Japan and France. Plus Samanosuke and Jean were cool guys. The gameplay wasn't half bad, more or less RE with samurais and Onii.
Can't really remember why I dropped it midway, I picked it up again a year ago and had fun but dropped it again. I wonder why, I was enjoying it.
Maybe it was the puzzles. Too much, too annoying.
>>315314956
Are you mentally retarded? Why the fuck would you play on inferior aged hardware at 480p when you can emulate it for max performance in 1080p?
>>315315201
It was definitely the puzzles.
>>315304405
It's completely different to 3, to say the least.
You don't get a new and exciting weapon every new area, you're basically grinding them and it sucks.
>>315315608>that water puzzle in warlords
>tfw you got the flamesword from the beating all the demons in the arena
>>315315078
Nothing to do with nostalgia, stupid little reddit shit. You are just fucking retarded. You don't know shit about emulation, retarded mong.

Is this a new epic meme?
>>315316539
I remember all those little rural houses and the camera being shit. It felt like an action resident evil game.
I think the controls were shit, too. Weren't you only able to move with the D-pad?
>>315313594
>more DMC-esque movesets
You have no idea what you're talking about. The combat is nothing like DMC.
>>315317690
1 and 2 used D-pad.
3 onward let you used the analog stick.
>>315317946
Using the analog in 3 is a stupid idea since all those fixed camera angles often fuck with the controls.
Only played 3 but I liked it
>>315319637
Those little reaction things are so fucking stupid. Stop using that shit.
>>315306302
please explain to me what the issue with casting Jean Reno is, and I will proceed to laugh at you for being a retard.
>>315319637
So which is better, 2 or 3?
>>315320542
2. 3 had to many puzzles and didint like playing as Jean Reno much.
>>315320208
Not him but I don't like it because
>have a unique game with a rare setting of mystical samurai fighting demons
>let's take it to France and add Reno
I didn't like it.
Holy shit i love this series, I was just talking to my cousin the other day and I'm gonna let him borrow DoD since he hasnt played it. Game has 2 discs so I gotta find the case.
>>315302463
Onimusha 2 and Jubei a shit... long live Samanosuke and maybe Jean Reno.
So many feels in this game. Kotaro, Ekei's family.
You're pretty good...
>>315321440
>Samanosuke
That guy went full faggot after 3. Jubei spawned a clan of badasses and a qt granddaughter meanwhile Samonosuke became a white haired jpop singer lookalike. I have no respect for him.
>>315319736
They've been around longer than you
>>315322026
>after 3
elaborate further...
>>315317841
Not him but Roberto's attacks was pretty similar to Dante's gauntlet weapon in style from what I remember.
Dawn of Dreams was a bit more over-the-top and anime-inspired than previous games in general I suppose.
>>315322792
Not him buthe became an old monk, pic related, and its a spoiler because the fact that he is Sam is a spoiler, since he is known as Tenkai in the game
>>315322792
Look up Onimusha dawn of dreams. He's masquerading as Tenkai there and he's in love with the fairy from Onimusha 3(top kek)
>>315322340
I've always complained about that stupid shit, especially when some faggots decided to add half a dozen redundant ones.
>>315323245
>>315323373
I ignore 4. 4 is shit.
JUUUUUUBEI
That fucking spirit at the beginning always irked me with its shitty dub.
>>315324494
Why is zero there?
>>315323373
> and he's in love with the fairy from Onimusha 3
uhhh Ako?
I don't remember him displaying any kind of attraction towards her. Where are you pulling this from?
I always though this series is like Resident Evil with swords. Not that I dislike it or anything.
Maybe because of the fixed camera and the puzzles.
>>315324820
*thought
>>315324703
You can play with zero and Megaman EXE
>>315324703
because capcom put zero there
https://youtu.be/xtYoCQMfN8U
>>315324820
I felt like this too for the first two games because of the D-pad only movement. For some reason the only time the games felt actually challenging as well.
3 and 4 were a breeze thanks to the analog stick.
>>315304890
dawn of dreams is fucking garbage mate
>>315324820
>I always though this series is like Resident Evil with swords.
Because it actually kind of was, and that wasn't a bad thing at all.
IIRC, the first game actually started development as a Resident Evil.
I want an hd collection so bad
>>315325525
>IIRC, the first game actually started development as a Resident Evil.
Man, almost everything started as a RE game. DMC, Haunting Grounds, Onimusha.
>>315325138
You're a complete fucking idiot. The series has always been easy, and using the analog stick makes 3 harder.
>>315325905
That's because old school Capcom knew when to draw the fucking line and say, "Okay, this game clearly isn't really RE, but it has potential and could stand on its own as a new IP."
What they should've done for RE6. Made a new IP and just took things off from there.
>>315325905
I thought Haunting grounds started as a clock tower?
>>315326143
RE6 is the logical evolution of RE5.
>>315326234
It started as a Clock Tower game but was made with leftover assets from RE4.
>>315326234
It's a spin off of Clock Tower that first started as a possible RE game IIRC, I think the dog supposed to be a zombie dog and stuffs.
>>315326353
It's also more of an action game than old school RE ever was.
RE6 should've been a new IP, Revelations 1 should have just been RE6 or something like that. Or RE6 should have been in that vein.
>>315304021
Greatest swordsman of the demon world you nig.
>>315326527
The series was always part action, a portion that grew larger with each subsequent game. There's nothing wrong with the transition from RE5 to RE6. You're just acting dumb because you don't like it.
>>315326143
>What they should've done for RE6.
You mean 4, 6 is just a continuation of that. And they probably didn't because
>fuck we already spun off RE4 into DMC, now we're going to make yet another series, we will never release this fucking game at this pace
>>315326792
I never denied that it hadn't been part action. In fact, that's why even though I love RE, I think it's kind of weaker as a survival horror franchise than, say, the likes of Fatal Frame.
But regardless, RE5 and 6 marked the point at which Capcom decided, "Fuck it, we're just going to make RE an action series."
RE6 was barely a RE game, there's no fucking denying that you fucking sperglord.
>>315327138
It's an RE game because that's the name on the box. No amount of your bitching about how it's "too action" or "nothing like the old ones" will change that.
>>315327356
Except that RE built its name on having a certain type of gameplay. You cannot fault long-term fans of the series for having certain expectations for the Resident Evil name. RE6 did almost nothing to resonate with old school fans of the series.
RE6 is the point at which Capcom shrugged off all pretensions of making a survival horror game, saw what RE had in common with shooty shooty bang bang games, and just decided to shoot for the Call of Duty/Gears of War crowd instead of actual Resident Evil fans.
>>315327831
>You cannot fault long-term fans of the series for having certain expectations for the Resident Evil name
I sure can when there's dozens of games in the series with different gameplay and there was a larger increase on the action emphasis from 3, to 4, to 5. Expecting RE6 to be "traditional" is being intentionally delusional and out of touch with reality.
>>315328461
And yet RE6 ended up being a terrible game regardless.
I mean, RE6 was always going to be a shitty installment in its franchise, precisely b/c it's a straight up action game, but even as an action game, it's kind of terrible.
>>315315980

>>315330881
There have been occasional Onimusha threads here and there.
Not very common but they spring up every so often.
Mostly it's people wondering why they haven't made an HD remaster yet or "asking" Capcom to bring the series back. Seems like there's been more ever since Ni-Oh was revealed.
