Lacquerware @lacquerware.bsky.social · 29/09/2026My feeling about Onimusha's difficulty is that it's not as hard as Sekiro, but the second playthrough (on Carnage) is harder than my second Sekiro playthrough. Maybe because Sekiro forces you to get really good on playthrough 1? Onimusha only forced me to get kind of good. 000
Lacquerware @lacquerware.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The narrative surrounding DmC (the reboot) within the Devil May Cry community seems to evolved to a majority view that the game is good "except for the story." That exact recipe is what makes it a Devil May Cry game! 240
Lacquerware @lacquerware.bsky.social · 22/09/2026What dormant Capcom IP do you think is most well positioned for a revival? I feel like it's clearly Dino Crisis and I don't even care about Dino Crisis. 410
Lacquerware @lacquerware.bsky.social · 19/09/2026A funny thing about the Ganryu fight in Onimusha is that his voice acting is so (deliberately) obnoxious that it forces me to tap out before I've stayed up too late. 100

Lacquerware @lacquerware.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I encourage anyone interested in becoming a translator for entertainment purposes to take a writing class, and/or read a book. The difference shows. 192
Lacquerware @lacquerware.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Mostly Onimusha is super fair and bullshitless, but I'm not a big fan of the style of boss fight that starts with two full minutes of tedious mob cleanup followed by a strong guy who kills you in two hits. 000
Lacquerware @lacquerware.bsky.social · 17/09/2026What's the best Frankenstein or Frankensteinian video game? Does Dororo count? If Dororo counts I think it's Dororo. No wait, it's Nier Automata, isn't it 510

Lacquerware @lacquerware.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Man…LIC certainly has my number, but there have been significant issues with five out of six orders I've placed with them in the past (namely damaged items and years-long delays with insufficient transparency imo). I started feeling like an idiot about four orders ago. I think I'm tapping out. :/ 320
Lacquerware @lacquerware.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Since Onimusha already has time-traveling, they should do a crossover with DMC and have Musash face off with fellow swordboy-magichand Nero and fellow Japanophile Vergil. Onimusha is probably more popular than Jean Reno atm, so they should get him back as well 130
Lacquerware @lacquerware.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Sekiro fans love to parrot the phrase "Hesitation is defeat" as though it's the key to mastering the whole game, but a more helpful phrase for me would've been "Do less." It works for Onimusha as well! 110

Lacquerware @lacquerware.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I know Sony is having a Moment, but it's pretty surreal to see that virtually every single comment on the Dark Arisen 2 trailer is people demanding that the DLC be delivered as a whole new disc. The people have spoken and they WANT Super Ultra Hyper Street Fighter II Turbo. 150
Lacquerware @lacquerware.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Did they patch Onimusha to make enemies more aggressive, or are all the complaints about them not being aggressive enough just based on the first few hours? 000

Lacquerware @lacquerware.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Really enjoying the new Onimusha. It's like Sekiro with more hanging out in town. 100
Lacquerware @lacquerware.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Am I crazy or has it recently become a Thing to use "of which" incorrectly? Like, "So-and-so starred in the 'Garfield' movie, of which he admitted wasn't his best work." What is "of" doing there? Tourism? 120

Lacquerware @lacquerware.bsky.social · 07/09/2026The new Onimusha being broadly a Yakuza game gives me hope that one day we might get the Devil May Cry game I feebly pitched over a decade ago where we actually see Dante just doing his job, for a change. Take demon hunting gigs around the neighborhood, use the money to buy pizza and jackets. 220

Lacquerware @lacquerware.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I watched The End of Oak Street, written and directed by David Robert Mitchell of It Follows fame. It Follows has become my favorite movie, and I wasn't sure a movie about dinosaurs in the suburbs was the follow-up I've been waiting for, but it is similar in its thematic richness. 130

Lacquerware @lacquerware.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Pleasantly surprised that Onimusha runs perfectly at 60fps on my six-year-old laptop. RE4make and Dogma 2 ran pretty badly and SF6's performance went from perfect to terrible for some reason, so my hopes were low. 200
