Check out his ~~silly getup~~ SICK trenchcoat, shades and bike. What a badass skeleton-motorcycle

This game has some really goofy scenes

Man, they just don't make games this stupid anymore sicko-wistful

Where the first two Onimusha games felt very much like they were intended for a Japanese audience, Onimusha 3 has been really interesting in how it tries to pivot to appeal to a more Western one. You have the big name Western actor, the introduction of a modern-day Western setting (2004 Paris) and the introduction of a bunch of Hollywood tropes straight out of Roland Emmerich movies. There's the disaster movie opening where Nobunaga's demonic forces invade Paris as well as Jean Reno's character, Jacques, a divorced dad with an estranged son with whom he's trying to connect and who doesn't like his new fiancée.

I think this is the beginning of Keiji Inafune's famous push to capture the Western market
