I grew up on this and played every single one. Nostalgia to the max. I don't even have to watch, I can simply listen to the sound effects and music while working. Great work capcom.
For me, this is the best, most balanced, emotional and addictive game in the series. The rest are good, but this one is just amazing, with its branching plots, memorable characters and quality gameplay.
YES! This one is where the series peaked. I really, really wish they’d remaster it (and finally give us the opportunity to play it with Japanese audio!).
@@ILoveLuhaidan actually i think still has too. The scenarios look so good, gameplay is slow but complete and, ost amazing, the story amazing too. And even has different plots like games nowadays. The gift system is cool and innovative!
Fun fact: This is the game that inspired the creation of the first God of War. God of War creator David Jaffee (yeah, the guy that no one likes today) wanted to do something like Onimusha, but set in the Greek mythology. Looking at the gameplay here, you can definitely see the parallels.
devil may cry is another game that set the standard for fast paced combat with this sort of camera with treasure hunting and such. I really loved the RPG elements of onimusha 2 with the gifts and all that though. I spent ages in the town trading and stuff lol
@@devildogs3463 Wish Capcom would negotiate a decent amount of royalties to the stars featured in these games then maybe we could get a remastered collection also maybe if the Onimusha 1 remaster on current gen consoles sells well then maybe Capcom would consider making a new game.
I remember 100%ing this game when I was a kid... Countless playthroughs and hours spent just enjoying the design. Then it got lost when we moved to a different state. Thank you for uploading this, it brought back a lot of memories of my dad and I playing together.
Onimusha 2 is the best of the series. It was the first one I played, but that isn't the reason I love it. After playing all games in the series, #2 still stands superior. Amazing gameplay, story, and characters. They don't make em like this anymore.
I remember playing this game as a kid and being so scared to play it! But man I loved every moment, this brings me back so many good memories..I wish I could go back to that time, and do it all over again..
How nostalgic. I remember playing this game without a memory card and having to replay the first parts countless times. I remember the woman saying "Jubei" used to scare the shit out of me for some reason.
You kill me when you leave half the enemies behind, you could level all your weopons and armor up if you didn't run past so many enemies. There was a bunch of stuff you missed in the mining town as well. There are colored necklaces that grant you powers that are super helpful in the game. If you give all of the items to the correct people then you get all kinds of cool shit. You can actually play as all four of the secondary characters in a single playthrough if you give enough items to the correct people. There's a fifth magical weopon as well, a fire sword and it's pretty badass. It's on the 21st level of one of the demon realms. Hope some of this helps if you decide to playthrough the game again.
Wow this brings back memories. This game is why I was so into samurai stuff as a kid. I always will remember the part where it was like a forest but you were stuck in some kind of loop or something full of fog and it was scary af for young me
@@BurZ1349 I got stuck at the place where you meet Gogandantess for the 2nd time. It took me days to figure out that you need to use the "special" move with the wind weapon to make the ceiling fan spin, which would power the elevator thing lol. Idk why, but that ceiling fan just didn't stick out to me. I thought that area was just a dead end.
@@uts4448 same happened to me, the ceiling fan looked too red and matched the ceiling, I swear I tried everything there and accidentally did the power move and finally could continue. I was a Cuban boy that didn't know English so it was hard to understand things. 🥹
This is some nostalgia. I played this with my dad when I was a kid, and completely forgot about it. But, every once in a while, I would get some vague flashbacks of a demonic Oda, and playing as Ekei
I have some of the lines of Takajo memorized and used to memorize the character's lines/interactions. It was so fun. Ah because of this game I had a memorable childhood!
I miss this game and really really hope it gets remastered like warlords, I just played warlords recently for first time and man the Nostalgia and need to play 2 is growing. Thanks for the video it means alot
That opening scene is better than half the games released today. And it was on PS2 graphics. I think its an absolute disgrace what we get thesedays as “games”
Damn this brings back such good memories. I loved Onimusha 1 and 2 as a kid. This was I remember liking more and I am pretty sure I beat it. Wish I could replay my entire PS2 childhood catalog lol.
I didn't have this game. My cousin did. And I would walk to her house (apartment) after school to play it. I was in 7th grade (so like 2006-2007). I'd say it was my favorite game on PS2. After all these years, I still remembered only 2 names "Nobunaga Oda" and "Magoichi" lol. I didn't complete the game back then because the disc was scratched so further along in the game, it froze. Back in 2020, I went to a flea market and I seen a PS2 then I remembered this game. So I bought the PS2 and ordered this game off Amazon. I beat the game. Twice. But dang, it really felt like I finally learned the ending to a story I never finished.
I forgot how the camera angles were so similar to early Capcom Resident Evil games Capcom did. Thanks for sharing, I owned this game when it first came out.
took me so long to find this game again. Elden Ring brought back memories I had long forgotten. Im proud to say this game was my first experience with anything souls like.
Lembro de jogar pela manhã, e passar a tarde toda na escola, contando os minutos pra chegar em casa e jogar até o dia seguinte. Que nostalgia, que sensação boa.. grandes memórias! Obrigado CAPCOM.
This was the first game I ever owned on PlayStation 2! I was dumb and didn’t know memory cards were a thing so I a played the beginning of this game probably hundreds of times thinking I just needed to be good enough to make it to the end 😂
I discovered this game in 2006-7ish when i was 10 years old and its just a core memory at this point but when i saw the first couple levels of gameplay today i thought man, this game was ahead of its time and it gave me kind of a resident evil vibe with the puzzles, random treasure trinkets and new badass weapons that came along the way ..i still i have my ps2 sitting in my garage maybe one day ill find this game for sale and fire her back up
4:51:30 theres 3 ways to fight Gogandantess, the greatest swordsman of all demons. 1 the easy way, use flute and use all skills of all weapons. 2 medium way, dont use flute but use all skills of all weapons and medicines. 3 Hardcore way, no flute and no skills of any weapon or medicines, only with the regular katana. I did that one and it took forever.
When I was a kid playing this for the first time I didn't know you could use the flute on him and so I ended up taking forever to kill him 😂. I later learned you could use the flute to weaken him.
I'm still holding out hope for an HD version of this and the the remaining games on PC. It seems dead in the water after learning the first game didn't sell to their expectations, but I still want to hope. I wanna return to these games, and they are timeless classics from the PS2 era. There was obvious care towards how they handled Onimusha's HD remaster.
Amazing gameplay was amped and rooting tor you The Whole way well done ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼❤️❤️❤️beautiful way too beat one of my childhood favorite games
Some 20 years later, I still have this game unfinished 🙄 Still, so close to the end. I guess that it's because I no longer am the (devoted and compulsive) video gamer I used to be in the past. Now I devote my spare time to more productive things, not much related with screens. 5:14.27- How can it be that in the development of my game Ekei (my favorite character here by the way) re-appeared as the good and joyful guy he used to be (and quite happy in this scene)? If it was sad to see that in my version both Ekei and Jubei departed following different paths, this fate for poor Ekei was yet more depressing. But why did he succumb to the power of Nobunaga, apparently so easily?

Its about time!
The only reason I see they won't is because of Jean Reno in Onimusha 3.
