So I've Been Playing: ONIMUSHA [ Review PS2 ]

[@mangabrojojo9559]

I genuanly haven't the slightest clue why u aren't more popular Your upload schedule isn't too bad the great amount effort you put into your vids is very apparent You seem to know what you're talking about for every game you review You have a damn appealing sence of humor in my opinion Your voice is quite good on my ears ;) And i never really gave a shit about this but even your thumbnails are very appealing I always look forward to every vid you put out and it's odd to say but I even enjoy rewatching ur vids that iv already seen keep it up dude we're always looking forward to your content

[@thorhighheels]

Thanks man! I'm glad someone noticed my thumbnails haha. But uh, I'm sure I'll get more popular some day though. I just have to keep at it.

[@Krystalmyth]

Thanks for reviewing NioH on PS2

[@thorhighheels]

I prefer the sequel called Tenchu Onimusha: Way of the Nioh 4 (Prepare to Nobunaga Edition). It's on the GBA I think.

[@armorwolf7934]

@@thorhighheels hey don’t forget about shinobi and ninja gaiden and most importantly genji lol genji 1 is actually a masterpiece in ps2 but the ps3 one was a let down

[@elpeanut8416]

I love this channel awakening me to so many long lasting series that have been forgotten by their respected studios and publishers. Thank You again

[@tajox]

It was one of my favourite games growing up, I remember my brother being stuck in the first shinobi segment and having to wait for me for clearing it up. Great game, great review

[@Zebuza]

Perfect timing! just few days after i picked up a copy of genma onimusha on xbox! Love your weird as fuck but also educated reviews

[@mbe102]

Is that the first one? Like an xbox port of it?

[@Zebuza]

Stadium ARTs exactly, from what i've heard its almost kind of a remaster, offering improved graphics and gameplay refinements. Runs great on a 360

[@Cybershroom]

The best franchise ever. Need more Onimusha in my life. Thanks for reviewing this :D

[@hkseeker7566]

You thought no one would notice, but...! That Bible Black OST at 4:50 tho. Also, great review as always. Loved Onimusha back in the day, and just recently I started playing it again, such a great game.

[@thorhighheels]

who said I didn't want people to notice _>

[@lanlanreactions9490]

Onimusha was the first dark souls

[@kvltizt]

Lan Lan Reactions I've been playing Onimusha again and I certainly had similar thoughts. It has a similar diffculty curve and gameplay loop as Souls games, and the obvious " using souls to get stronger " thing.

[@matthewlugo2417]

No monster hunter was

[@LilleyComix97]

Lan Lan Reactions no... ninja gaiden was if you want to be technical lol maybe Tenchu in the 3D realm

[@executivedata7]

Can't wait for your review of the 3 other onimusha games. Your reviews are funny and informative

[@thorhighheels]

Thanks! I will most definitely review the sequels sooner or later. This game was great, and I wouldn't mind playing other games like it.

[@Ioselash]

I am listening to the game's ost and do I miss old PS1 ass synthesized music

[@thorhighheels]

Same. I've been listening to Parasite Eve's OST a lot lately. It's a shame not many games sound like that anymore.

[@Krystalmyth]

11:17 You just described the Entire Soulsborne franchise. Really excited for you to review Bloodborne in a few years huehue.

[@Nekucloud]

The Basement theme from Resident Evil Director's Cut still sounds like a long fart LOL. Anyway, I've always been curious about the Onimusha series, I think it's a game I would definitely enjoy playing.😂😊

[@spiderjerusalem100]

It's a great game and the sequel is even better. Onimusha 3 is cool too but not as good as the first two imo.

[@Nekucloud]

Serpico's Beard Was there a fourth game too?🤔

[@spiderjerusalem100]

+NekuCloudHyugaLagoon yeah the 4th is called Dawn of dreams, I've never played it though.

[@Nekucloud]

Serpico's Beard Are the Onimusha games on the PSN?🤔

[@spiderjerusalem100]

+NekuCloudHyugaLagoon nope not yet but I hope they add them it'd be cool to play them again in HD with trophies.

[@grimpyrox1683]

I loved this game back when I first rented it back in my teenage years. I always wanted to play the 2nd & 3rd entries, but I've never gotten around to it. I remember (Samurai Evil's) Last boss being a win by the skin of my ass type of win, and was one of those games I scream YEEEEES!!!!! After beating. Also...... Those finshing stabs were so satisfying. Any who I'll shut up now nice review man. \m/

[@ADa89mixus]

Hmmm 🤔

[@executivedata7]

What a weird coincidence I just beat onimusha warlords yesterday and its an amazing game but the first game is short beat it in 4:44 hours but still a cool game which still felt like Resident Evil with swords but also its own thing. And capcom needs to bring this series back. And the fixed camera angles are the best for this game

[@zhaoyun255]

Raw Critical Strike (No instant Block) was the most satisfying things to do because it will ALWAYS give you HP, Mana and more EXP if you kill your enemies with it.

[@noelienoelie8425]

Have you played the 3rd. It's got Jon Reno in it. Random.

[@mistamethylbrot2187]

Jean, he is french.

[@Twister-V1]

Umm I remember this game when I was younger. I was thinking about making a review/video on the game. I just was wondering what the name was. And then you came with this banger of a video about the game

[@Twister-V1]

I know you don't review books. But if you do I recommend the book "holy bible" It's overrated and the fanbase is crazy but it's not bad.

[@Jack-fo2pc]

yes, thank you

[@mage1over137]

So I got a commercial at 4:47 for Google Fi, it was quite satisfying how that lined up.

[@Wenjo936]

i would love to interview you. you are a very specific type of gamer. me. its so great to know im not alone in these feelings

This was awesome. I hope you consider doing a video on Onimusha 2 as well sometime. I started with Onimusha 2, so i didn't enjoy the first game as much when i tried to go back to it. Just didn't connect with Samonoske as much as i did Jubei.

[@thorhighheels]

I will! I actually ended up enjoying Onimusha way more then I thought I would, so I'm actually excited to play the second game.

[@beat-man5167]

DMC1 was still kinda spooky when combat doesn't happen. Pre Ps360 cap was cool. I liked Okami and Auto Modellista. Also uh, Gravity Rush review when??

[@thorhighheels]

Yeah I love the music in the first area of DMC1. It shows it's RE roots off really well. As for GR, I don't really know tbh. I have both games, but I hadn't really planned to review them yet. Don't see why I wouldn't in the future though :)

[@spiderjerusalem100]

Oh snap! It's that game!

[@ViralOutbreak89]

Currently binge watching/rewatching your content, and in relation to this video it got curious as to whether you've played a game called Soul of the Samurai (aka Ronin Blade here in Europe)?

[@4130-g9d]

All I can say is, back in 2002 or when I first played it, this was a blast. Loved the RE base with the medievel Japanese setting. I think I replayed it in 2011 or so and the magic was still there. Only 3 tops this one in my opinion. The second one was kinda weak in comparison. This defintley is a series capcom lost and should have kept going properly.

[@thorhighheels]

I think they dropped the series because Keiji Inafune was the main producer guy. They also dropped Mega Man when he left Capcom, so I wouldn't be surprised if Onimusha suffered a similar fate. Also the 4th game apparently sold like ass.

[@mistamethylbrot2187]

[@lanasrj]

this game was epic, and if it ever got remastered it'd be epicER

[@thorhighheels]

YES

[@nunyabusiness4404]

Honestly I never played Onimusha. However I have Onimusha2 Samurai's Destiny with Jubei Yagyu. Samonuske is his ancestor. Interesting thing is alot of the locations especially in the castle you were showing were put in the 2ND one as well. Thor High Heels please play and review Onimusha Dawn Of Dreams. With Soki, Jubei and others. It has much more content and depth it is not for casual gamers. Fun fact Yagyu is a Japanese swordsman Technique that means "Shadow Blade" or Dark Blade. It is a brutal and notorious form of sword fighting. Also please review Onimusha #3 Samonuske returns and trades world's with some French actor. They get swapped to each others timelines. I have only read of that installment. Never actually seen it.

[@PackZTerrible]

I liked the 2nd one more even tho it mostly had the same story/assets but the multiple characters and extra modes made it hella fun. Many people say it's the old nioh but I think nioh is just hard in the sole purpose to be hard, onimusha was just more a hack n slash Capcomy game.

[@igrologiya]

well, remaster is coming on switch

[@DmitryChmelyov]

Yo, what is that track with all the meows called and where is it from?

[@thorhighheels]

It's called "1 PM" and it's from the gamecube version of Animal Crossing

[@Armando.Sepulveda]

I actually like the first Onimusha better than the second one! I prefer Samanosuke over Jubei from part 2

[@viniciusbarreiros1258]

I'm kinda playing onimusha series as well, like u said, the first game is very simple, but it can be quite satisfying, then i started the second game, it is basically the same game structure but for some reason that i can't explain i just couldn't finish it, i'm almost at the end but i lost all the interest, gonna skip to the third game, looks like the third is the best of then.(of topic again, once you like survivor horror games as much as i do, have you ever played Kuon? it is for the ps2)

[@thorhighheels]

Kuon is one of those games (like the first Siren or Echo Night Beyond) that looks really cool to me, but then I can also see it being kinda frustrating to play, given what I know about it already. But, no. I haven't played it yet. Though I'm sure I will review it one day.

[@viniciusbarreiros1258]

i just finished kuon, its ok, very simple for annyone who already is acquainted with this game style, but unfortunately like several survivor horror from ps2, it has frustrating control schemes, however the concept of using magical cards to face your enemys and the creepy japonese like plot end up rewarding you for playing.(and it is only 8 hours long), anyway, would be interesting watch one of yours review about it.

[@ierdan4257]

@@thorhighheels uh... a bit misleading don't ya think ? plus that doesn't contradict my statement, a misleading joke is still a misleading joke it's good and all to be humoristic but when you're making the comparison more than once the pattern makes it hard to take it jokingly afterwards, like dude you were saying the combat is good and all with it's take on the resi core gameplay as an action game at 3:50 but then slap a dmc comparison that comes out of nowhere if my statement bothered you well...

Onimusha being released on the N64 is false. It was going to be a PS1 title.

[@thorhighheels]

That's not what I said dumdum, I said that SENGOKU BIOHAZARD, the game that became Onimusha, was GOING TO BE released on the N64DD. After that, it was scraped, renamed, and moved over to PS1, before then eventually being rejiggered again as a PS2 title.

[@adamwest1250]

Lol damn i didnt know the game was that janky i always thought it was one of the best samurai games i ever played....but than again i was really young when i played the game

[@thorhighheels]

It's not really janky, just kinda old in some regards. The screen transitions really stand out in this video when you're just seeing them, but weirdly enough, they didn't bother me at all while playing. It still keeps the pace of the combat going really well imo

[@adamwest1250]

ThorHighHeels i never noticed it but it does low key play like resident evil. They did adjust config when the french man with the whip comes into play

[@siliodon]

You know, after the aborted dumpster fire (I'm not even sure what that's supposed to mean but fuck it I'm going with it) that was the Resident Evil Director's Cut Dual Shock GOTY Prepare to Die Edition soundtrack, I really have to wonder why Capcom decided to pay fake Japanese Beethoven to pay his ghostwriter to compose another soundtrack for them. It's even more mind boggling when you consider that Capcom arguably has the best team of composers in the industry.

[@thorhighheels]

Takashi Niigaki is a solid enough composer though. The RE1 Dual Directors Limited Collectors Edition basement theme was a MIDI-track rendering mistake. It wasn't actually supposed to sound like that, and if anything is more a fuck up on Capcom's end for not programming the track into the game properly. Kinda like how they pressed Strider 2 on the wrong disc, or how they promised UNCENSORED versions of RE1's cutscenes in one of it's many releases, but simply forgot to add them. Capcom is a bit of a bumble queen, but it's why I love them tbh.

[@siliodon]

@@thorhighheels Oh yeah, I think I have heard of something like that now that you mention it. At least it managed to produce some pretty hilarious results. It reminds me a bit of how Koichi Sugiyama's sweeping orchestral score for the OG Dragon Quest sounds fantastic in the Symphonic Suite, but that effect gets a bit lost in translation when converted to 8-bit bleeps and bloops for the NES (the derpy, high pitched shrill of the Overworld Theme will haunt me til I die). Perhaps "aborted dumpster fire" is being a bit too harsh as well, as there are actually a few tracks on that version of the soundtrack that really aren't that bad. And yes, Capcom is bae, even with all their bumble fuckery.
