![]() ![]() My main experience with first two games is from reading The-Dark-Id's screenshot Let's Plays of them. Nier I actually played all the way through.įrankly, given what little I've played of Drakengaard, I'd recommend reading the LPs for Drakengaard 1 and 2 over playing the actual games. To quote The-Dark-Id'd comparison of the games (slightly censored for your protection): Nier on the other hand, is awesome and you should play it. "Nier will not be going as far off the deep end in bats*** crazy. It is still a strange game with some pretty f***ed up s*** that will go down. It goes down a much different rabbit hole than Drakengard did. We do not factor unsold items into our prices. Historic sales data are completed sales with a buyer and a seller agreeing on a price. The prices shown are the lowest prices available for Drakengard 3 the last time we updated. The dragon plummets from the tower of red thunder, and where it falls no one has seen. As the tears of a goddess flow, four lost temples forebode the coming of the queen. Mighty generals hesitate beneath a crimson sky. The Watchers drink and raise high the basin of fire. But, honestly this game is like a bizarro version of Drakengard.ĭrakengard was a repetitive grind that got old after about an hour of gameplay. Drakengard 3 prices (Playstation 3) are updated daily for each source listed above. The unsuppressed soul lets flow oceans of blood. Nier, while not brilliant with its gameplay, does frequently mix things up to keep it fresh. Drakengard had a dodgily translated, barely comprehensible at points plot, filled with a cast of utterly unlikable a******* that all had subpar voice acting. Nier has one of the best damn, natural sounding translations I have heard in a JRPG, has an interesting and coherent plot filled with a very likable cast of jerks with outstanding voice acting. Drakengard had a soundtrack of chaotic dissonance that was unsettling at best, ear raping at worst. Nier has a goddamn phenomenal OST that was so well received it got a second one released just last month. ![]() NIER was honestly my game of the year of 2010. There were prettier games, games that played better, and all that jazz. But f*** them, NIER was a memorable labor of love by a company (that still absolutely hates you, the player) that got its s*** together at the end to pump out one really great game. ![]() So let's get started on this long, depressing road. So, with that in mind, let's get started!" Did I mention NIER was depressing.? No? Oh, well NIER will ruin your goddamn day by the end, friend. It's just the idea of hybrids (not counting the ones made by Doctor M) doesn't make a lot of sense for this world. Aside from Doctor M's freakish abominations, every single character we've seen seems to be of a single species (unless Dimitri is hiding little antlers under his hair). There's a certain level of masochistic pleasure involved.Interestingly, just about every instance of romantic/physical attraction in the series is shown between members of different species. Some people realize they love getting smashed to pieces and being completely obliterated, and so they become fans. The reason this game has a fanbase is complicated. You must not experience any form of pleasure whatsoever.ĭrakengard is the video game equivalent of being strapped to a chair and having every bone in your body broken by a big burly man with a baseball bat, starting with your feet. There is nothing he understands besides "save sister" and "murder fucking everyone." This is because any positive feeling of being a hero and doing the right thing must be exterminated from your very being when you play this game. He will squash children in the mud until they're a fine paste because that's just what he does on a regular basis. The protagonist of this game is literally a villain that you just happen to control. ![]() Definitely Masters of Doom by David Kushner, DOOM and the other ID. He's not the " Anti-Hero," he's not the " Tragic Hero," and he's not even an edgy tryhard. I guess right now, it may be the Drakengard 3 novella released with the collectors. The characters are either insane, murdering cunts, tragic victims of circumstance, or straight-up cowards, because everything you love and value must die and you must always be disappointed.Īnd lastly, the protagonist is literally Hitler. The soundtrack is experimental, droning, often dissonant, to obliterate your mind. The gameplay is clunky, repetitive, frustrating, to destroy your willpower. Now, in order to convey this premise, EVERYTHING in Drakengard is designed to set the right mindset for the player. There is not a single thing about it that isn't going to get raped until it's a mushy mix of brown and red. It's about to be raped with the biggest dose of fuck you've ever seen in your life. However, that generic fantasy world is ending.Īs in, it's about to get fucking destroyed. Drakengard is the idea of having a game set into your average, generic fantasy world. ![]()
