Can…we..please pray for me, Fire Emblem and Trails 2nd drop on the same day tomorrow and Ace Combat 8 not far after, I think this is the busiest gaming month I've ever had in my lifetime @_@

30 hours in and Onimusha is still going…probably the most unnecessary padding I've seen in a game for a while. It's like, they put a 6/10 game inside a 9/10 game or something.

I don't know what it is about Dark Chronicle but dungeon crawling and shooting clowns in the sewers with a blunderbuss is really chill.

The thought that I'm behind not one, but two Zelda Musou games is frightening, especially considering I feel like I could just play Hyrule Warriors forever. Pretty much the only game I forced myself to stop playing because there was too much content rather than a lack of it., easily the best licensed musou I've played.

Played more Onimusha and I'm not sure why the difficulty is still dominating the discourse on the game when IMO the far bigger problem is them taking a series that was unique and running it through the Ubisoft machine. It's not QUITE as bad as that sounds, the map isn't cluttered with endless checklist icons or anything but I did just get a sidequest from a woman to find her puppies littered around the Kyoto hub, if I don't want to do that I can hunt for some chests!

The sad thing is, there are actual levels where you leave Kyoto to something far more focused like older games…and it's amazing, the combat truly gets to shine which is where this game really pops off, with which the boss fights just get better and better. I don't know why the game is just that, I really don't like the idea that I need to find cloth, Iron and wool to get the next incremental upgrade for my armour.

All that aside, I think this is a great game but I'm not sure I'd want to do all this again.
