It's kind of funny that Onimusha got this "take side jobs around town" layer before DMC even though the entire premise of DMC is that you're a small business owner in a city while in Onimusha you're a zombie revived to carry out a vendetta. Why are you still taking gigs??

There should be a database called that documents all the scary stuff hidden in the backgrounds of shots in movies. They could call it "So Scary I Didn't Notice." (Seriously though I love this stuff and want to see all of it.)

Btw, if you're craving more boss fights like the ones in Onimusha but don't need all the busywork in between, Furi is a good place to go next. One of my faves of the last 20 years or so, and it's like six bucks on Steam atm store.steampowered.com/app/423230/F...

My feeling about Onimusha's difficulty is that it's not as hard as Sekiro, but the second playthrough (on Carnage) is harder than my second Sekiro playthrough. Maybe because Sekiro forces you to get really good on playthrough 1? Onimusha only forced me to get kind of good.

The narrative surrounding DmC (the reboot) within the Devil May Cry community seems to evolved to a majority view that the game is good "except for the story." That exact recipe is what makes it a Devil May Cry game!

Mostly Onimusha is super fair and bullshitless, but I'm not a big fan of the style of boss fight that starts with two full minutes of tedious mob cleanup followed by a strong guy who kills you in two hits.

Man…LIC certainly has my number, but there have been significant issues with five out of six orders I've placed with them in the past (namely damaged items and years-long delays with insufficient transparency imo). I started feeling like an idiot about four orders ago. I think I'm tapping out. :/

Since Onimusha already has time-traveling, they should do a crossover with DMC and have Musash face off with fellow swordboy-magichand Nero and fellow Japanophile Vergil. Onimusha is probably more popular than Jean Reno atm, so they should get him back as well

Sekiro fans love to parrot the phrase "Hesitation is defeat" as though it's the key to mastering the whole game, but a more helpful phrase for me would've been "Do less." It works for Onimusha as well!

I know Sony is having a Moment, but it's pretty surreal to see that virtually every single comment on the Dark Arisen 2 trailer is people demanding that the DLC be delivered as a whole new disc. The people have spoken and they WANT Super Ultra Hyper Street Fighter II Turbo.

Say what you will about Twitter's machine translation feature, but it's definitely better than it used to be. 1) original Japanese tweet from 2018 2) current translation 3) 2018 translation by Bing lmao (Still, use humans please.)

Am I crazy or has it recently become a Thing to use "of which" incorrectly? Like, "So-and-so starred in the 'Garfield' movie, of which he admitted wasn't his best work." What is "of" doing there? Tourism?
