Onimusha 2 Was Such A Bigger, GOOFIER Game Than The First 

Thanks for watching! Took a little while to get this one out, the next one won't be that far off, so don't worry!

This game has some awesome boss fights Gogandantess was one of my favorites. "My name is Gogandantess, the greatest swordsman of all demons."

Gogandantess is by far the best character of the series. Love the dude. Wish he didn't have to die.

my story of onimusha 2 >purchase 2nd hand copy >disc scratched >there was segment when you can play as ninja ,game refuse to load after first few screen >find out its optional >can play futher >game refuse to load on story later on anyway (island)

Love this game! Great video and thanks for promoting this forgotten gem ❤

Great video I love the series definitely going watch the rest of the videos 👍 keep doing what your doing mate

On the gift giving system, it depends on the timing for some gifts to get a better reaction from said character. If you're paying attention, you can tell when the relationship is at its highest when they do an extra animation when trading. They don't tell you that you can't please all the characters at once. Only two per playthrough.

I feel Onimusha had the potential to become Capcom's Castlevania, but then they decided to be very historical.

This was the one that sank me into Onimusha. I had the first but this one did things to me. I remember thinking that Gogan's chest armor spots were nipples my second playthrough and I still can't unthink it. 😂

The Way You Feel About Onimusha 2 Is The same way I feel about Transformer Robots In Disguise (2001) Gen 1, Beast Wars, The Unicron Trilogy all get their Due but Robots In Disguise Is always the forgotten one out and I blame Disney on that front

I've seen people talk about Onimusha 1. I've seen people talk about Onimusha 3, heck I've seen people talk the weird Onomisha super smash bros spinoff. But this is the first video I see about Onimusha 2! Which is weird when you think about it.

Found your channel and i'm glad! I love the Onimusha series!

Not only a great video, but you also mentioned Kamen Rider, so you got a subscriber!

ayo let this drop meoow!

Yeah, as much as I adore this game, I can't deny that the story is a bit goofy and plot-holey. I do still stand by the idea that it is on pretty much the same peak as Onimusha 3. The story and characters may be a bit better in 3 (minus Henri), but the combat definitely feels the smoothest and most open to experimentation. On top of the regular attacks and magic, it introduced the charge attacks which Onimusha 3 adopted too, but the secret techniques for each weapon were a good extra layer that you can really smoothly transition to in the middle of a regular combo, or decide to use instead of a charged attack if you decide a faster attack is needed instead of a bigger, slower hit I do agree that the Golden Evil Statue does kinda come out of nowhere, especially since there's only one or two documents throughout the game that even mention it. It wasn't as jarring for me since I've always been a huge lore nut with this series, so even as a kid, I always read through every document and soaked in all of the history and lore, but for most people, yeah it's a bit out of nowhere. The gifting system does have a few context clues to gauge how much a character likes you and hints to what gifts may be best for them, but I do agree aswell that the game doesn't really give enough information, so it does feel a bit too much trial and error-ry (Is that a word?) One thing that you didn't mention in relation to the other characters is that there is only one that you can really prioritise and get all their scenes for. The others effectively get forced offscreen unless a scene involves them as well as the character that has priority. E.g: If you give enough gifts to make Ekei like you the most, most scenes involving Magoichi, Kotaro and Oyu will be locked out, even if they meet the minimum threshhold to trigger them. The only scenes that are not locked are the ones that involve you actually playing as those characters, though Oyu's is the only one that is mandatory regardless of who you prioritise. I do like that the gift system allows for replayability, but it certainly could have been done a bit more player-friendly Great video overall! Looking forward to your thoughts on the rest of the series! Much as I've ragged on some of the game's aspects, I do still think that Onimusha 2 ties with 3 as the series' highest point. Hell, I think the only Onimusha game I flatout don't like or enjoy is Onimusha Soul, but I think the less we talk about that game, the better.

I got a friend who's a huge Onimusha fan she skip this game when she was young all cause Samanosuke wasn't in it the greatest mistake of her life. Gets the game years later as she miss out on now her favorite videogame character Gogandantess who beat her so bad made her select Easy Mode by accident. I will always clown on her every time for skipping this game. Also the water at the beach on Dantess second fight is just magical.

I liked Gingamphatts a lot, all his fights were cool, the 2nd in the forest was my favorite

YOOOO NEW UPLOAD HYPE!!

Got this the day it came out. It is literally everything a sequel should be and the last real onimusha. 3 was okay and dawn of dreams should have just been titled differently.

I must trust the Oni.....

And whos the actor who starred with Micheal Douglas that posthumously played Yagyu Jubei in this? And witness my Golden Evil Statue!!!

Jubei Wagyu....beef

Yes!!!!!

your computer’s graphical strength has nothing to do with how Onimusha displays (not plays, just the graphical display). that was actually the emulator back then before the 1.7 overhaul just not being able to display the graphics correctly since pre-rendered and 3d elements were an uncommon graphic style on ps2 (and there were even enemy teleporting issues if you didn’t have the I/O settings correct). Back then before the pcsx2 1.7 GUI overhaul, you would have needed the PCSX2 custom Onimusha emulator which solved most issues with Onimusha games, but no longer do you require that (unless you want R1 ps2 button pressure sensitivity as it is, but that’s a whole different story) Emulation back then was mainly designer side issue since they had to bear the weight of reverse engineering these consoles which is some insane wizardry. On the user side, you were basically expected to look at their ‘compatibility’ section to see if something could run, and their wiki page to find out what ‘issues’ existed and if there were fixes via ‘emulator settings’ on the user side. I can’t recall if the wiki page mentioned the custom emulator but I remember wanting to play the game when I was putting my discs in my pc and trying all my ps2 games since you could play directly from the disc drive if you wanted. and since it looked weird and I noticed other graphical issues with Blade Warriors as well, I looked googled info on emulator onimusha and then came across the custom emulator. So…essentially that’s what you had to do in the user side. Pretty fun review though, and like all the plot hole point outs but I guess some amount of silliness needs that. I’m surprised the opinion is still that Onimusha 3 is considered the best. I remember that back in the day but saw a lot of hate for it more recently which had me wondering if people did a back flip or something. I don’t think it’s the best but I think it’s the most approachable difficulty-wise and with all the moves you were able to do (like 10-point slash), it really did lead into Dawn of Dreams which, japanese version is way better than the capcom hates rentals nerf version that we got (has the full english options).

I just want a complete remake of dawn of dreams

good video

2 amd 3 were the best.

People complain that Onimusha 3 and 4 ruined the serious and almost horror like tone of the first game and im like.....did yall not play Oni 2?

I still don't get why 3 is considered the best when 2 existed. 3 was always dissapointing to me while 2 was bigger and better than the first. The fact the game had affinities and different outcomes with the side characters made it very replayable. The game also had the best gameplay.
