I didn’t. Just the original.

Think they said around 20 hours

real

Yeah, i’m tempted to check it out but i’ll just thug it out til Friday.

played a bit more liking the combat even more ends with a tough boss fight that I will play more after gym / control and alan wake 2. Hear game deals with a lot of going to same areas so trying to get hooked on combat

I won't have the time to get on this day 1 but I'm glad that the game seems better than what the demo showcased? (Question mark because I haven't played the updated demo)

Updated demo good just played some

I played the demo. Definitely not 10/10 material based off that imo

I think in general too many games get 9s and 10s to where the scale is skewed. I think it will really depend per reviewer. Seeing many love the boss battles, story and overall game while finding parts of it tedious. a 10/10 to me should be a mind blowing game but it is what it is. review scores are tough for that reason

I have no idea why these guys get so bent out of shape over a arbitrary number anyway tbh

Nor do I. I have wanted number reviews to phase out or each site find their own way for a while. A lot of studios live and die by a metacritic score. Gamers create crazy conspiracies and say "well IGN gave this this but this that" when the reality is so often they have a different reviewer on so many games with different taste. In a different mood and dont use 1-6 of the scale so really the scale is bascially 7,8,9,10. S*** back in the day they used to rate the different parts of the game individually or EGM had 3 reviewers with 3 scores.

The franchise has been out of the mix for 20 years. Comes back with very dope facial animation, dope combat, fun story. Yes it will have some faults but after so many years away and watching footage of this combat /boss fights even if they hint some of its bloated . The high scores make sense for some of the boss fight footage I have seen and combat fun

Like you said review scores depend heavily on the reviewer. Unless you know a reviewer who is completely representative of your own taste, there is no telling if you are you going to like the game. People should know by know what type of games they like.

I was copping the game anyway for great sword combat unless Onimusha was going to have terrible reviews which called the game unplayable.

You know no matter how long its been some people dont know how to think for themselves or who they share the same taste with in various mediums. I grew up in game crazy that let us open any game and try it in store. Onimusha I know I will like its more likely though I wait for a sale not out of not wanting it . Just so many games and my backlog . So been trying to get through current games before adding too much to it.

This game never looked bad. Looked better and better the more of the combat they showed though and the systems at play there. Its Capcom at the end of the day. They are going to put together a good game

You had dudes itt crying about enemy ai when the demo was a glorified tutorial that the developers not only said the difficulty was intentional but also that it takes place early in the game AND they gave us skills in the demo that we wont have access to that early in the game.

Some previewers cried that the early game or demo was too early then said it heats up. Its like no s*** people crave every game being an ultra punishing souls like in early game or demos right away. when its like that would scare away their potential fans. There are always multiple difficulties for that s***.

People will look at many review scores and simple summary of previews but a lot arent digging in listening to devs and everything else

Swordplay Action Trailer

It takes a long time for this game to build up, it’s very complex and the skill tree isnt unlocked until several hours into the game

We need a lil star next to rollslop enjoyers usernames so I can identify who to take seriously when it comes to action games

IGN reviewer glazing himself for putting self imposed handicaps on himself In game

I like that he was gong in s*** made me laugh

This review is insane I keep waiting for him to move past his flex but he won’t

I’m going to assume this isn’t no 10

Don’t focus on the number score instead focus on his passion
