Purely Academic #38 - Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Modern Warfare 4 Beta, GTA VI Reveal, and More!

It’s a jam packed video game-focused episode for September, as we review Capcom’s third straight home run of the year in Onimusha: Way of the Sword, give thoughts on the beta weekends for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, discuss the latest stupidity from Sony and Microsoft, and give our reactions to the full half-hour gameplay reveal of Grand Theft Auto VI, which is shaping up to be something special. Sean also talks about his ongoing Ultraman adventures with the series Ultraman Ginga, Jonathan continues regaling us with stories of his Street Fighter 6 obsession, and for The Monthly Ten segment, Sean envisions ten possible hyperfixations that might befall Jonathan in the future, from least to most personally ruinous.Enjoy!Time Chart:Intro: 0:00:00 – 0:21:05GTA VI Reveal: 0:21:05 – 0:35:26Gaming News: 0:35:26 – 1:03:58Modern Warfare 4 Beta: 1:03:58 – 1:24:09Onimusha Way of the Sword: 1:24:09 – 1:59:36Ultraman Ginga: 1:59:36 – 2:13:10Street Fighter: 2:13:10 – 2:23:05The Monthly Ten: 2:23:05 – 2:57:13 Read Jonathan Lack’s movie reviews and stay up to date with all our podcast projects at https://www.jonathanlack.comSubscribe to JAPANIMATION STATION, our podcast about the wide and wonderful world of anime: https://www.japanimation-station.com Read Jonathan’s book 200 Reviews in Paperback or on Kindle – https://a.co/d/bLx53vKSubscribe to our YouTube channels!
