/vr/ - Retro Games

I like the first one. Played a bit of 2 and thought it was a bloated mess

>>10802613
replay 2
it's the best in the series imo

>>10802571
Replayed 3 recently and holy shit the repetition is bonkers. Also those unfortunate gates you have to grind for, because you leveled up the wrong thing. I know they were part of 1, but 3 is just bullying you with the cathedral/sewer one.
I still like the 10 strike mechanic. That is really fun to pull off.

>>10802571
To this day I still hear Jubei go "Who did this!" and his mother calling out to him. I replayed 1 like 8 years ago. I remember having a negative opinion on Dawn of Dreams since the 2nd half is repeat bosses and the final boss was ass. But that was ten years ago

>>10802802
DoD was a massive letdown after playing the first 3 games

>underage faggot posting 6th gen on /vr/ while complaining about underage faggots

>>10802834
i'm 30

>>10802834
Lmao does underage mean under 35? Ah sorry I forgot, zoomers grew up with gen 6, it's 2011 now

>>10802841
so you are underage then, thanks for acknowledging
>>10802843
anyone born after 1990 is considered underage on here

>>10802571
2 is cool. I had fun with it. Never thought "tank controls" could play so well.

>>10802571
based jubei

It lacks the dark atmosphere of the first game,though it has creepy moments

>>10802571
We had an Onimusha thread a little over a week ago, people on /vr/ seem to generally like the series or just some of the games. I just bought Genma off of Ebay, eagerly waiting to play that version as I only played Warlords on PS2.

I don't get the hate Dawn of Dreams gets. I thought it was great.

>>10802571
Played Warlords this year, I think it's pretty good and liked it a lot. Are the other two worth playing?

>>10803384
It was a bit more action focused but the series has been moving away from horror since the start. I liked DoD a lot too.
>>10803485
three, sir.

>>10803498
Didn't knew there was another mainline game. Does it control like the others (fixed camera + tank controls). Hope it does honestly, I unironically love this type of game.

>>10802571
I love 1 and 3, 2 is a padded mess of ideas that only gets good at the final castle area. DoD was meh, blade warriors is mindless fun. Still need to try the tactics game on gba.

>>10802571
yeah i like them, really enjoy one a lot actually.

>10802571
DoD > 2 > 1 >>>>>> 3: Obnoxious Poorisian Slop Edition

Still have my copies of 1-3 I bought when they were released. Only played the demo of DoD. For me its
1>2>3
I'm amazed they all came out in three years, 2001-2004. And yes, I know development on the first game started on PS1 in the late 90s. But still, its unbelievable in current year for any game developers to release a AAA quality trilogy in three years.

>>10802571
I prefer the PS2 version, some say it's identical minus a few things from the Xbox version, but that's a fucking lie. Go play both just first levels back to back and see for yourselves.

>>10803384
the level design was shit and the boss fights were annoying.
also the game repeats some levels for dumb reason like "character forgot a tiny book in that area, do it again!"

>>10803684
what's wrong with 3 other than the shitty aquarium? place

>>10803384
I thought it was okay but then I found myself softlocked mid way through the game. I don't remember the details it was like 15 years ago but my save was fucked, I couldn't continue the game.

what's the deal with genma onimusha?

>>10804959
It's a great deal

>>10802571
Love em OP, but I prefer the 1st. Haven't played the 2nd in 20 years so tell me why I'm wrong

>>10805039
Because 2 is a masterpiece

Onimusha 2 is the incarnation of everything wrong with the 6th gen

If you're OP, I gifted you convo bait because you said v can't have a discussion and you replied back with
>"BECAUSE ITS GOOD".
You might be the issue

>>10802571
Onimusha 2 is the masterpiece of the series.

>>10805146
Too much replayabilty, secrets and unlockables?

>>10805026
thanks anon, that vid was very helpful. the ogre armor looks so fucking sick

>>10803384
I hate the combat, every weapon almost feels the same with the magic power being the same rehashed animation whole the color changing according to the element. I would rather have 3 weapons each characther that played differently + that chain combo thing is autism. So much content put in though with many areas to explore shame it ended this way.

all this hate on 2 and yet none of you provided an actual argument against it :^)

the end

>>10805834
Precisely, all the focus is on the "content" but all said content is subpar; and the story/characters are full of the shitty tropes of the time like the queer villain.

>>10806542
you weren't born before 2010

>>10802571
I am 35 OP but I only ever played Genma Onimusha for Xbox as a rental. The game was really cool but I never got into the series because there was so much other shit for me to play. Don't remember when I played that game but if it was around the time of Ninja Gaiden then I would certainly have just not cared to play more of that game because NG was the absolute tits and still the best hackin and slashin action game along with NGII (xbox).

>>10802571
>>10807683
Also just to remind you, I sitll think the series is cool. I guess I could always emulate? Was the remasters good?

>>10807687
There's only 1 remaster and it was alright.
You can emulate the entire series

>>10806512
>gr8 b8
There's a reason why Onimusha 2 despite being only on a single platform sold more than the rest of the series combined and slling more than DMC1/2/3.
