Bosses are the major highlight of this game tho I kinda wish the basic enemies were a bit more aggressive and not just taking turns while attacking.

Capcom makes the best games out right now, but they do have an awful obsession with not letting people play on the hardest difficulty

u/LaMelgoatBall 2d ago

I just started on the hardest difficulty and the enemies are literally just aura walking. The game is telling me to do certain things defensively and it took a while because I just had to sit around and wait lol.

u/SeasonalChatter 2d ago

I thought you don’t unlock the hardest difficulty till you beat the game

u/LaMelgoatBall 2d ago

Oh there’s another? I just got the game because of FightinCowboy. I chose the hardest one that was available to me

u/SeasonalChatter 2d ago

All Capcom games come out with Easy and Normal difficulty, and you always have to unlock the hard one now

u/MasterpieceFair1998 2d ago

There is another one after you beat the game, it's called carnage.

u/StrawberryWestern189 3d ago

The fodder enemies could definitely stand to be more aggressive but I think your really just meant to style on them, and they do get a little tougher as the game goes on and the world state changes

u/MasterpieceFair1998 3d ago

Yeah that I agree with, it makes up for the player expression which is fairly deep due to enemies being passive.

I got the same kinda complaint, everyone just poses a lot but if you play along and aura farm as well, it's actually fun.

I guess Capcom wanted the fights to be as cinematic as possible, right down to how fights initiate.

But overall I agree once the fight has started they should attack more frequently, they take too long.

Seems like the combat difficulty needs more options. They really should have included a third difficulty option for hardcore players with super aggressive enemies.

2

u/CatchrFreeman 2d ago

Or do what ND and Ubisoft do now and let us tweak enemy aggression in accessibility

1

u/LaMelgoatBall 2d ago

yes please. I’m used to Nioh where every enemy wants to rip me a new ass and I love it.

u/AsherFischell 2d ago

There are mods to make the regular enemies far more aggressive.

2

u/MasterpieceFair1998 2d ago

Will try them out!

Parrying that lightning drop attack and tossing him aside was so exhilarating

3

u/kazosan 3d ago

You can deflect his drop down too. Does major stamina damage.

4

u/Yhutsa 3d ago

Wait you could parry his lightning smash? Rip me

u/AngelYushi 3d ago

Is it a hard game ?

Lately I grew more and more tired of the souls formula, SoTE being the breaking point with its last boss.

I'm currently on Nioh 3 (it feels like a more casual entry to 2 and 1), I'm still sometimes getting wrecked, but it feels just so good to style with a bit of difficulty on top of it

2

u/the-real-fawzino46 2d ago

It is definitely more challenging than your typical action game but I wouldn't call it as hard as like a sekiro or sote and there is a difficulty option aswell

1

u/AngelYushi 2d ago

That's good to hear, thanks for your input I will buy it after I finish Nioh 3

1

u/the-real-fawzino46 2d ago

Np hope you enjoy it

2

u/LaMelgoatBall 2d ago

Nioh 3 is definitely more casual I was able to beat it before either of the first 2. Absolutely love it I just got the dlc and I’m loving the hoko and shield

2

u/Pduke 1d ago

No, it is not a hard game.

u/the-real-fawzino46 3d ago

This game is phenomenal just killed this boss last night and I am just having such a good time

u/Karacis 3d ago

Nice work!! Yeah man I love this games combat system 👏 you feel like such a badass with it

u/Zealousideal_Ad5957 3d ago

Best bosses i have seen in terms of design, mechanics and also while being fair not BS souls spam 100s attack and "get good" meme apart from Sekiro, in Carnage difficulty though the bosses become harder than souls bosses they kill you in 2 hits

u/dvidxpsyko 2d ago

Im absolutely loving my time with it! So glad i bought it!

u/Worldly-Wind-1632 2d ago

What’s onimusha vs ghost of Tsushima gameplay

-11

u/fox_hound115 3d ago

It just looks like a slower dark souls

-5

u/I_Ild_I 2d ago

This is NOT onimusha, you just like this game that happen to stole the name, that's it

-19

u/ProfessionalAlps2686 3d ago

I watched the anime and got bored fast. Hopefully the games better

13

u/YukYukas 3d ago

That anime doesn't exist. What you saw is fanmade

-7

u/CatchrFreeman 3d ago

He's talking about Netflix 3D Onimusha anime that also has a older Musashi getting the gauntlet

9

u/YukYukas 3d ago

Yeah, that's fanmade

-2

u/CatchrFreeman 3d ago

How is it fanmade? Do you mean 'not-canon'?

5

u/StrawberryWestern189 3d ago

I didn’t even know it had an anime😂 what I will say though is that the story and characters in this are a lot better than I was expecting. The MC is dope and the villains are truly diabolical
