I was following your narrative that the game is bad, and then I saw that guard give you a vertical suplex and thought, yeah, there's something cool here
idk, when i was a kid i saw pirate copy of oni on shelf of pirate games shop, i thought that was a jank ass game. who in the sane mind would place cheap ass anime-like picture (which is the same quality as flash datesims of that time) on the cover and sell it as full scale game? young me was quite wise. great review though, worth the wait!
PC Version was much better than the PS2 version. PS2 lacked enemy variety due to trying to save memory. along with other cut content. as well was just a much more buggy/stuttery experience.
yep! i've talked to the guy who done this port back in the day when he worked at Rockstar Canada/Toronto (at the time) and told me it was hell going thru it back then and the fact he tried emulating PC mouse & keyboard controls to a controller definitely wasn't the right choice. I believe there's a video out there that goes through the development history behind this game and it's PlayStation 2 port
This is the one time the Mac/PC version its the definitive version More on Window, with the amount of Mods that makes it playable in modern systems like Windows 10/11 And also change the character art to something more close to an anime art style similar to the Introduction Movie and the Cover Art
Great video! I remeber playing the pc version of this game cause I find this cyberpunk style very cool. But the game failed to hook the 12 years old me. I played again older throught nostalgia glasses, but yeah, the game is not very good.
Я хочу любити цю гру, але вона мене виморажуе під кінець з 9ої глави. Воно на нормалі стае як скіт Бенні Хіла де я біжу від конга-рядка ворогів тому що воювати з ними гарантуе 90% шанс отримати урон від їх спешалів які ти не можеш парувати ніяк. Навіть на ізі це біль. Blackouts are real game stoppers and I am so glad to have bought a steam deck a few years ago.

It was always heartbreaking that Rockstar gave this game that treatment. It could have been far better than it landed in. That is probably why it has such a strong following now. I also wonder if maybe emulation could help this run better since the hardware is much stronger today than it was them. Patches maybe?
Bought the game on launch and it was OK. The controls were different, because 3D Action games were still going through the motions to refine themselves, but I eventually got used to it. I still have the game, and after watching this video, I replayed it. It sucks now, lol.
Any cyberpunk cop-ladies fans out here?
Da.
Me
only if we are talking about motoko

The only type of cop-lady I want to interact with is a cyberpunk cop-lady
My shock when i looked at the subscriber count :0 you deserve a lot more good sir
That cover is literally the coolest thing about that game. Well it's a pretty awesome one though

"same quality as datesims of that time"
*looks through some of those posters*
so no downsides?
I’d constantly come across this game back in 2001 at my local EB Games. It’s the shiny, foil cover that always catches my attention.
Played this on a pc back in the day, had a blast.
I had to crack my original PC Version, i have no Idea why, it just didn't worked without Crack.
Have to test it out on my actual PC
(Lazy comment, to help with bringing this video on the top, and being recommend for more people to watch)
Thanks a bunch!
I'll always cherish the time I spent at net caffes ❤ sry about your country bro

We, Latinos, understand your bootleg childhood brother... Buying games with terrible cover art and in plastic bags was my childhood.
The cover is SICK!!!
About the covers, yeah it was so true in Ukraine. Cool as always brah

the Anniversary edition mod makes the game more enjoyable nowadays and plays better

I highly recommend checking out the Anniversary Edition mod if you wanna give a try for your first time

yeah the PC version is much better
bungie made oni
Like everyone else at that time. i was baited by the amazing cover art. and disappointment at the gameplay
The gameplay is amazing.
i absolutely loved it despite the flaws but i'll say you should give the PC version a go instead nowadays and download the Anniversary Edition mod
