"SWEET BABY INC! Noooo!"

From what I can gather, there's one Jew in the whole game (who I think is just called "Jew") and he ends up being a collaborator with a demon cult that seems to want to consume humanity. It doesn't seem like people really hold this against him long term, since he gets into more benign misadventures in the "where are they now?" montage at the end, but it seems like the most on-the-nose fash writing possible otherwise.

I haven't actually played the game, partly because I was put off by this element of the synopsis, so did I miss relevant context? Even just a "fuck you guys for making a leper of me and then demanding my loyalty" type line?

I finished the first Onimusha, and overall it was a delightful little time capsule of early 6th gen gaming. The most interesting part to me was its obvious relation to Resident Evil. I know it literally started out "samurai Resident Evil" as Capcom wanted to use the formula from their biggest hit to create more hits like they'd already done with Dino Crisis.

I wish it'd stuck closer to Resident Evil. Had it been a slower-paced survival horror game where you explored a creepy Japanese castle it could have been one of my favourite games of all time, but the finished product ended up going in a more hack-n-slashy, character actiony direction with the tone of that soap operatic Sengoku Era samurai schlock the Japanese love so much combined with a tokusatsu show. (Which is still fun, mind you)

I love fixed camera angles, pre-rendered backgrounds and tank controls but even I can admit that all of those things pair pretty poorly with anything approaching character action gameplay. Thankfully, the game was easy enough and generous enough with health and item refills that it never became a real problem, but it did make the optional challenge tower and attempting to master the counter system too annoying to bother with. It might actually be worth it to instead play the 2018 remaster instead of the PS2 original since it had the option for analog movement.

Maybe I'll actually get to fight Oda Nobunaga in Onimusha 2- despite a demonically resurrected Nobunaga being set up as the main villain of the first game you actually never get to fight him

So I made a new character, one that can solo easier but still be a tank and not be kill on sight to all of Norrath. So I made a paladin. You can follow along with my gear using the magelo link, I'll try and keep it updated.

If there's one survival horror franchise that any gamer is familiar with, no matter their generation, it has to be Resident Evil. The Resident Evil franchise has been around for decades and includes dozens of installments that shaped our gaming journey in the genre. With more than 20 years of history, Resident Evil is one of the most iconic horror franchises and definitely the most successful ever when it comes to the commercial side. Despite the appearance of multiple competitors over the years, Resident Evil remained the absolute champion, and developers started to give up one by one. So the real question is: how has Resident Evil managed to maintain this success for so long? And why are developers not trying to compete with it anymore?

Imagine a newgame+ but the only thing different is an NPC shoves a tablet in your face and tells you "it's just gonna ask you a few questions."

Playing on the Vox server now which is classic ruleset meaning no xp bonus and most items cannot be traded. Decided to roll up a Shadowknight Iksar (my favorite race) and solo most of this content on my own with my mercenary. If the need arises I'll roll up another character and try and dual-box.

Just randomly came across this quest in my latest playthrough and its spectacular. If you are gonna do a Morrowind playthrough put this in your list but do yourself a favor and ditch the boots of blinding speed.
