Tell me about this game /v/, im really itching for some samurai action while i wait for Nioh
Will be a good game until Basara 5 releases
>>339464681
A very serious and thought provoking story of the westernization of Japan.
>>339464681
It's pretty good, but I got bored of it fairly quickly. Not because it was a bad game, I should add.
There's a lot of customisation for both your looks and fighting style, you can create weapons, sleep with people, choose what path or faction you want to take, kill random people, run your own Dojo and more.
If you're into to that sorta stuff, give it a shot.
>>339465356
Wait really? The steam screenshots make it look like a comedy
>>339465473
What do you think?
>>339464681
i had a good time with it
theres an over the top story and its goofy as fuck a lot of the time but its overall fun
i liked 3 better though it gives a better samurai feel and the characters all have names and personalities instead of just nameless folk
cannot wait for ni-oh though
i cant get enough samurai action
>>339464681
It's an acquired taste.
The game is slow paced, and has multiple routes.
I reccomend getting it at discount.
If you are looking for something close to Nioh you should try Onimusha. Namely 2
It's unlike any other game I've played. In a good way.
>>339464681
Play the second one, it's one of the best games ever, no kidding.
>>339465473
He's joking. Anyway, I haven't played it, but the 3rd one takes place in a rural setting, in case you prefer it.
It's fucking awesome.
>>339464681
I never finished it because I spent too much time trying to build a master sword.
Do you get the fugg the little girl?
>>3394658
Different anon, is 3 a little less goofy? How is the combat system compared to 4?
>>339466270
meant for >>339465831
>>339466330
3 has its moments but its overall quite serious
it takes place in a rural village and during the warring states
its combat is similar to the other games but unlike 4 the movesets are locked to each sword although thats not really a problem
you can draw your sword and attack anyone during cutscenes although its not reccomended
its seriously one of my favorite games out there
>>339465158
FUCK YOU CAPCOM I HATE YOU YOU FUCKING FUCKS
>>339466596
How is the PC port of that anyways? I had no idea it had a port as well, just saw it on steam one day. Have it on my PS3 but never got that into it. The game sort of made me nervous, like everything I was doing I was doing wrong.
>>339465885
Does Onimusha 2 allow me to explore towns like WotS does? I remember playing one of them (2?) and enjoying the interactive towns. Im a real sucker for ruroni kenshin so thats probably why
>>339466596
Thanks man. What about the choices? As branched as 4?
>>339466950
>>339467221
never played the pc port
there are 23 endings and everything you do is wrong unless you get the true ending where everyone is happy (except shuzen fujimori) but you can just play through it again and go for another
there are some endings that are slight variations of others and there are some that are full of deceit and betrayal and they usually often end in a bloody showdown
>>339467348
Thanks, man.
It's cool but the game takes place in literally like 4 screens. Incredibly tiny world.
Grinding up a decent sword to take on the Harakiri True Ending is fucking hideous.
Fun otherwise. Tiny world, as others have said.
>>339467172
No unfortunately, there are segments where you can bond with your allies, and shop for inventory. But overall it's more linear than way of the samurai
>>339466270
It's less goofy when it comes to the story, minigames and such are still silly. I find 3 overall worse. Characters are nowhere near as memorable as in 4 except for Itsuse. Combat system is very similar but you don't have guns obviously and maybe claws either. Styles are linked to weapons and you only ever get to carry 3 weapons. 4 also seems to have more to do all around. I put 75 hours into 4 and not even 20 into 3, and I have damn near 100%-d both.
>>339465158
>Yukimura-Den
>Basara 5
Stop being dumb.
>>339467801
Yeah but like 70% of WoTS4's "stuff to do" is grinding up those fucking styles.
>>339467483
I kinda prefer that in open world games.
A tiny world with a lot of detail is a lot more enjoyable than a huge world with no detail I find.
>>339467801
Also 3 is kind of garbage because you have to spend so much time grinding reputation for the various factions. There's really no way to even know if the quest objective decided to spawn until you comb over every single inch of the map over and over again which makes it take way way longer than it should.
>>339467883
Yeah, well, I just used CE to give myself a ton of style scrolls in both games. Fuck grinding.
It's great, really. Tons of humor, combat system is pretty solid and you can yobai your waifu.
You might need a guide though, it's a true branching path story afterall.
>>339467883
So what? Part of that grind is to find skills that are on your "must have on my custom style" list.
If there's something wrong with WotS4, it's World Wide Warrior trophy.
>>339468110
>I just used CE to give myself a ton of style scrolls in both games
Tell me more.
>>339468313
He cheated. Using Cheat Engine.
>>339464681
it's fun and stupid
Way of the Samurai games are great, OP. You should definitely play 4 and then give 2 a try.
It was pretty fun
And then I tried for the true ending on Hara-Kiri mode and I stopped having fun
>>339468608
Stock up on dat medicine
>>339468910
See that's the issue
Most shit just one shot you on Hara Kiri
And there's also a segment where you have to fight all 3 of the sisters bare handed which took me over a half an hour and that was my first try
>>339464681
If it's anything like the first game, expect it to control weird compared to most games and be balls hard.
>>339469419
Spam counters to win during that section. Remember that they can only fight you one at a time anyway.
>>339467632
its not that hard
and you only need 1-2 bigshots and not all 3 to have a decent sword
moveset matters more
oh and I better post this
>>339469419
not hard to deal with if you have the right fist moves
even on harakiri where the damage is normalized anyway
>>339465356
>>339465473
>A very serious and thought provoking story
It sorta is a very interesting story even with all the comedy and over-the-top stuff.
The scenes with Kogure in class are pretty good political satire.

and then it turns very awesome

>ywn try his sushi
>>339471267
Feels Sword of doom man
>>339470028
Oh I got a couple of decent charms, but then it turns out that the handle was too small so my two handed sword had one hand in the air and you would not believe how much that shit bothered me.
It's funny and a fun game
I played for like ten hours, two or three endings and then never touched it again
Solid 4/10 game
I loved it, the gameplay is fun and there's many routes to explore which I enjoy. Might be one of my top 20 games.
>>339471316
Any good jidaigeki to recommend?
>>339472274
if you haven't gone through all the essential kurosawa, that should always be a starting point
i love the lady snowblood films, but they're much more pulpy. worth checking out if you're down for a bit of pinku eiga
Fuck, looks like I'm reinstalling this.
>>339470028
I just used CE myself. Rarely touch the thing, but I made a legit attempt at forging the sword I wanted first, but it wasn't happening. Turned out well because I made some kinda OP claws and other fun weapons too and got more hours of the game that way.
>>339473489
its not really that hard
you find parts you want, and then assemble and deassemble until it works
then agian it took me an hour of doing that to get what I want
Is it just me, or does this game have amazing voice-acting? The foreigners speaking Japanese really sound like foreigners.
>>339470141
>you will never frogsplash your waifu

>not picking up his sushi after he's taken away
>The bad end version of Samurai Straight
All the routes gave me a feel.Especially True Route because I saved it for last, and I didn't want it to end.
>>339470141
Her entire character is just "I am hungry for your cock please take me mister samurai".

>yfw you could barely hear it because the audio mixing is fucking terrible
>>339474159
Well it's good that you can give her just that.
So, what's the general consensus?
4>1>3>2?
Who here got/boiled/on first playthrough?
I didn't actually believe it was going to be game over.
borrowed 3 recently on a whim, didn't really try to break very deep into the game and only got one good end and one bad end. Mainly because people started talking about the games in a thread and I knew it would be wasted effort because I was pretty much set on buying 4 after that.
In terms of gameplay 4 is definitely the best game. It's pretty much just a choose your own adventure with singleplayer fighting game combat. So far I have half the endings. I think the pacing is way better than 3.
I just want to add that I always crank up the fight music.
>>339476439
Me
Not cool man
Didn't WOTS3 just got released on steam? I liked 4 and I'm planning on getting 3.
>>339475452
LOL
4 is the worst one no question, they fucking killed the gameplay, go play 2 and then 4, it's a world of difference.
