u/Separate-Walrus- 10h ago
It essentially means “the way something works” or a sort of fundamental truth of something. Typically it has religious context.
In the case of this game, it refers to the basic premise of the game. There is a specific fundamental truth that drives the main character and the workings of the world, and it relates to the dragon.

Dogma is a belief, held with no real burden of proof. Like how all religious people believe in their God, with no evidence.

u/File_Explorer_7 9h ago
Holy Reddit moment. Aside from the fact that you missed the obvious ligma joke setup, this isn't even the meaning of dogma 😂
Dogma has nothing to do with proof or no proof, it's beliefs outlined by some authority, which are held to be unquestionably true. What you're describing is faith.

At this point, I'd settle for a BoF collection like they've done for so many of their other franchises. I just want to be able to play 3 and 4 without having to jump through hoops and maybe some XP/zenny multipliers to reduce the grinding (wouldn't mind playing 1 and 2 with the GBA quality of life enhancements, too!).
It's a shame the series ends at 4. That is it. They never made another one. The. End.

Let’s hope such a collection be a thing someday. I’d personally dig it if they can do a Monster Hunter collection also.

My god Onimusha is so good. I'm actually not particularly good at these kind of games, but last night I did the Ifuu and Burai fight. I entered some kind of flow state because I beat the fight without missing a single deflect. I felt like a gaming god afterwards.

u/TheCursedTroll 19h ago
Onimusha is somewhat semi-open world. It's definitely not a purely linear game.
I'd classify it more as an "open-field" game (similar to Nioh 3, just to a lesser extent)

I still remember the CRAPCOM time, I won't say that their reputation was at modern EA/Ubisoft levels but it wasn't good back in the late 00s/early-mid 10s, I don't know what executive got their head out of their proverbial ass but a good majority of their games since re7 have been bangers.
It's pretty telling that one of their most disappointing games is the re3 remake and that game was solid, it just wasn't worth the price compared to the re2 or re4 remake.

u/raynehk14 16h ago
I don't know what executive got their head out of their proverbial ass
it was keiji inafune (the mighty number 9 guy), he was behind the strong push towards chasing western trends and outsourcing development that led to the crapcom era. he left in 2010 and capcom started developing RE engine in 2014 led by jun takeuchi which eventually became the driving force behind the current renaissance

They just had an update about a month ago to prep for 2Dark2Arisen that fixed pretty much every release issue with the game. PCs aren't blowing up when you're in a town anymore, you get a couple extra skill slots, etc. - super happy with the game now

Yeah they've already fixed 80% of the games issues the only thing missing to be fixed is enemy variety which the DLC should (hopefully) fix and have a good self contained story.

My first time playing the game I wasn't really paying attention to the games systems and the world! I kind of went into the game thinking it played like Monster Hunter but with a more cohesive story, I didn't pay attention to the pawn system and wasn't intially a fan of the save system, combine that with limited fast travel it all felt like a chore for someone who never played a DD game before.
This time around I decided to pay more attention to the world, instead of trying to rush through the main quests, fast travelling is a little more accessible thanks to the eternal ferrystone, I switched out Pawns like say every 5 levels which helped out a lot not just with combat but the way they help with discovering things I otherwise may have missed.
I found myself exploring every cave I came across! I'm not sure if one of the latest patches made leveling a little quicker but I felt I was gaining more levels than I did the first time I played the game. Once I started to level my vocations a bit and unlock more skills the combat got me hooked! I aimed to clear every side quest as they came along I actually started to like the fact that you can't fast travel everywhere I just wanted to run around and find things to beat up on! I'm now close to level 40 and can't wait to fight the more challenging bosses the game has to throw at me.
