Shin Onimusha Dawn of Dreams (aka Onimusha 4)

I have this preordered, can't wait. I'm a big fan of the series, especially the second one. I have to say DoD looks to surpass it. I don't really care for the design of the main character, but that's a minor gripe. I really like how there's multiple characters to play as again. I really liked that about the second game. A nice sized cast to interact with.

I actually don't want to play the demo, since demos tend to make me want the game that much worse...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm actually kind of wishing it hadn't moved up. I have so many games to finish, and now I'll be getting this and Shadow Hearts 3 on the same day. Yikes.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I would also like to mention that they scored Final Fight: Streetwise higher than Onimusha. If that's not absolutely ridiculous, I don't know what is.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I could have done without the Ayumi... I think she's awful and I disagree in that song fits the game. Hell, I think Russian Roulette fit better than Startin'

Excellent game so far, I just got Tenkai.

What ticks me off is that NO ONE knows how to unlock in on the Japan IMPORT!
RAGE!!

Possible it was added to the US release?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

BTW, what does leveling up exactly do? Does the character just gain skill points out of it?

I think it increases HP and Oni magic. I'm not 100% on that, but I believe I saw the bars increase.

Square, L1, R2, Square, Left, L1, L2, L3, Right, Triangle

I was speaking idiomatically.

Team magic is done by first having your weapon powered up to be able to use level 3 oni magic. Then just charge it up and hit L2 at the end. Your partner needs to have at least one bar of oni magic, and you have to have full.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I've never had item problems either. It's ridiculously easy to keep your meds at full capicity. Actually I'm finding the game pretty average in difficulty. It's not super easy, but it's not exactly hard either. It's perfect.

Is it just me or is Ohatsu wicked fun to use. I love her.

FELIPE NO

Just beat it.

Spoiler:

I was surprised Soki died at the end, though knowing the way most games go he'll probably be back. I don't like that. If someone dies, leave them dead. Same with Minokichi. It cheapens the sacrifice that the character is making. Also where did Roberto's love for Ohatsu come from? All of a sudden he's saying he loves her out of nowhere. Well he must not have pursued it too hard since Ohatsu got married to someone else.

Oh yeah, wtf Fortinbras? That was a ridiculously annoying boss fight. The very last one. It wasn't hard, just time consuming. I hate fights like that, just let me beat the crap out of the guy.

Anyway, it's obvious the next game will have Jubei as the main character. Sporting her stylish new eyepatch XD A Yagyu should have an eyepatch, it's just the way things she should be. I'm calling it now, Munenori is still alive. His death was far too ambiguous. Plus getting tossed off a cliff is like the universal way to kill someone, yet not.

Excellent game.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

The soundtrack you got, is that the same one that was released on #gamemp3s? Since that was missing a lot of tracks from the game.

Also is that the English version of the manga? If so I'll probably pick it up.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Nope it isn't same OST that gamemp3's released. This one is full OST (as far as I can tell anyway, totalling 69 tracks), 3 disc set that comes with a UMD (unfortunately region 2 only, may import a JPNS PSP now). However, I've been informed by Godai that they plan to release this one by tomorrow. So everyone will be able to get their hands on a digital copy!

That's good. I might buy that then. I was disappointed in that first one. Do you know what's on the UMD?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

For flying enemies I just used certain moves. With Soki I used his launcher, Jubei that one where she leaps into the air (back, forward, attack), Roberto that uppercut (back, forward, attack).

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

That track seems like a medley of various songs from the game.

I got the first volume of the manga. It's really good, and I like how it goes into Jubei's backstory. I hope all the characters get that kind of treatment. I'd definitely like to see more about their pasts.

Also the original Jubei got wicked old O.O
