What's happening here exactly? One in his novella fucked One, but in the game its a no-go?
Did the English release change shit again?
>>334162041
Shit I forgot that I still needed to buy the DLC, is it good senpai?
>>334162621
Only Zero's and Five's(fuck yeah slutty Guts) , just watch the rest on youtube.
>>334162697
IV a best
>>334163437
Literally Hitler.
DLC could have done without Gabriella being a sassy black woman who dun need no man
>>334163515
You say that as if being literally-Hitler is the worst someone could be in a setting like Drakengard
>>334163859
You got a point, but not even Three was that delusional.
I forgot, so if DoD1's theme was supposed to be "what kind of crazy fuck would a typical genocidal RPG hero be?", then what were DoD3 and NieR's themes?
>>334162041
One didn't want intend to fuck her clone at first but the crippling loneliness eventually got to her so she fucked brother One but was disgusted with herself for doing it afterwards.
>>334163515
suit yourself lad
>>334163437
Four is so fucking vile, I love her. Five is still probably my favorite because she's entertaining, but Four is great too.best ship
>>334163973
>nier
Doing bad things because you love your family, blood related or otherwise.
>D3
Bad people are still people? IDK.
>>334163973
The theme of all Taro games is that everyone's a cunt and that's okay.
>>334164241
This fucking boss fight is the most frustrating piece of shit I have ever set eyes upon. And after finally getting through it, that was the shittiest ending ever.
>>334164084
Four is pure!I loved how mentally and emotionally broken Four was. I really liked that she at least seemed self aware about how fucked up she was so she put up the pure and sweet act and restricted her murder sprees to criminals so it was technically okay.
>>334163973
Nier is killing other people for what you believe is right
D3 is killing other people for the greater good
>>334164427
Also instead of a crazy little girl thanking you for playing you get some old hag timetraveling android, fuck this noise.
>>334164039
>so lonely she made a husbando and got an incest fetish
Oneof us
Also she's underrated as fuck, she was the most competent and tried to discover what was going on so she could fix that shit.
>>334164506
She can't even masturbate due to her nails.
Gonna have to use the desk.
>>334164241
That's makes sense, but in D3 it's kind of played straight, isn't it?
I mean, Zero is really fucked (figurative and literally), and even so kills generally awful or at least mind-controlled people to save the world. And she does.
>>334164656
One's life is suffering
>Hypersensitive so she can't eat normal food, wear normal clothes, and someone sneezing in the same room as her probably causes excruciating pain
>Only competent one of here sisters
>Wants to make the world a better place
>Overthrows the dictators and succeeds in making the world a better place
>Shit's going great
>Learns that she's a fragment of a flower that wants to end the world and if she is allowed to live she destroy the world she worked so hard to improve
>Sits in her throne room as Zero kills off her sisters one by one and can't do anything to help them because it would mean she'd have to kill her sisters herself
>Makes a weird as clone to kill the last intoner and due to incredible loneliness she has sex with him and feels disgusted with herself
>Her clone back up plan backfires and eventually leads to the destruction of the world anyway
One's existence from start to finish is a cruel joke.
>>334164662
Four's life is also suffering but most of Fours suffering is self induced because she stubborn.
>>334165229
I think her reasoning was rooted in spite rather than love of the world--she just wanted to finally die, and the flower would not let her.
>>334165374
One suffered the most, Zero had it pretty bad too. Did One had a plan to rid of the flower's curse if she succeeded killing Zero?
>>334165374
being Intoner is suffering
>>334165814
Five and Two seemed to be having lotsa fun.
Until Zero and Baby giant showed up
One > Two > Five > Three > Four
>>334165814
Three suffered the least. Not sure if it's the result of sloppy writing but she had the least development. Even the novellas pointed out how Three was kind of a weirdo before the flower drove off crazy.
>>334166067
Five > Four > Two > One > Three
Ditto > Cent > Octa > Decadus
Zero is a slut.
>>334165395
>she just wanted to finally die, and the flower would not let her.
While reading this I heard Killing Floor 2's announcer in the background saying "My advice? Do not die again"
spooky, I bet the Watchers did this
Also, it's possible she didn't even die for real, given all the dimension fuckery and Accord's comments
>>334166207
Five = Four > Zero > One > Two > Three
Decadus > Octa > Bro One > Dito > Cent
>loved drakengard 1
>loved drakengard 2
>loved nier
>no ps3
Hold me
>>334165803
Brother One was supposed to kill her in that case
>>334166314
The intoners and flower were sealed in the spirit world, they're not dead, but unlikely you'll get to see them.
>>334165803
Brother One was supposed to kill her. I guess she thought her would be immune to the flowers influence. Unfortunately One seems to be a fairly weak fighter since she gets killed by Zero in 3/4 branches and gets killed by 2 in branch B.
>>334165814
Three seemed to not mind it so much
>>334166006
Five's suffering was more subtle.
>An Intoner’s libido is stronger than a normal human’s. But you’re even more different. No matter how many positions you try or how many hours you spend doing it, it will never feel good for you. Do you think sleeping with lots of people will fix that? You’re not satisfied with your dressed because none of them suit you. Do you think new ones will change that? You know that no one would serve you if you didn’t brainwash them. Do you think you’ll ever find someone who honestly loves you?
>Unfortunately there is no cure for your lack of sensation. No dress will ever look good on you and nobody on earth is crazy enough to love you.
She also tried to change herself and become an actual decent person and compitent ruler but then Zero killed her.
>>334166006
Two was fucked because of the whole orphan eldritch abomination thing, not so much about Zero coming for her
>>334166385
Right. It's been a long time since I've played DoD3. Time to get on the manga.
>>334166414
>wants to cum
>¢an't cum
What kind of fresh hell is this?
>>334166414
>and nobody on earth is crazy enough to love you.
I'd be willing to prove that statement wrong.
>>334166209
And she still manages to be perfect.
>>334166067
>>334166207
>>334166332
Four > One = Zero > Five = Three > Two
Decadus > Octa >Cent >Dito > Bro One
>>334166584
Have fun hauling 500 pounds of dildos, clothes, and food everywhere you go.
>>334166584
You don't live in Midgard, probably for the better.
The place is a special kind of hell.
Also after 3 games I finally found out Midgard is upside down Europe.
>>334166391
>sealed in the spirit world
Wait what? When did this happen?
>>334166414
Five has to be the most relatable intoner because it's hedonism turn up to 11.
>>334166414
>She also tried to change herself and become an actual decent person and compitent ruler but then Zero killed her.
That's why Five was my favorite at the end of it all--she was actually starting to change into a better person, then she gets murdered lol.
This is probably the only game I would buy a console for. Is there no chance for a pc version?...
>>334166704
>>334166743
>Five was reading a book on the Roman empire to become a better ruler
>Drakengard 3 takes place in a universe where the Roman's existed
>>334166345
Second hand ps3
Come on, it's cheap by now
Can't wait for NieR 2: Robot Youmu Revengeance
>>334166827
A very slim chance if Nier 2 comes out for PC and does really well. But that's a very slim chance.
>>334166846
IIRC all of the timey wimey bullshit that goes on in Drakengard implies that a lot of "historical texts" from different time/timelines have been dumped into that world.
For example, Three knows a few words in Spanish (shit and urine, specifically).
>>334166414
To be fair, Zero kills everyone, and Two is probably the best melee Intoner
You guys think nier automata will still be semi open world like og nier?
Since DoD3 is the prequel and kickstarted the drakengard universe, did they explain the existence of gigantic abominations? In Drakengard 1 the monster are explained to be the work of magic or something the watchers conjured up but did the watchers existed in DoD3's timeline?
>>334166690
>Have fun hauling 500 pounds of dildos, clothes, and food everywhere you go.
I'm a natural pack-mule anyway.
>>334166704
I'm crazy enough as is in our own world, I'm sure I'd be able to deal with it.
I fucking hated Drakengard 3, it felt like it missed the point that made 1 and Nier more interesting. In those games, your character committed some awful shit, but they were as clueless as the player on what was going to happen with the plot as the continued.
In 3, Zero knows exactly what she's doing, you know exactly what she's doing, she ultimately does it with no real changes to the plan, but the player arbitrarily has the context hidden from them even though she knows. Makes the whole thing really static and boring compared to the character's actions leading to an unforeseen result and revelation.
>>334167197
Watchers are called angels in the jap version and are synonymous with what the intoners summon (it's worth noting that Zero also calls them daemons).
Basically there is nothing concrete on what they actually ARE--best guess points to extra dimensional beings or ayyyys (the "aliens" Emil fights are probably watchers) who can be summoned to our realm through magic/song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jM4rez0DnSk
Gonna shill this since Clemps was gonna post it anyhow
>Tfw the will never be a light hearted slice of life thing featuring the Intoners and/or other Darkengard/Nier characters.
It would be nice to not see them all suffer just for once.
>>334166734
>>sealed in the spirit world
Branch D after Mikhail went DDR on the Flower.
>Zero consumes One and allows the flower to bloom within her. The two are then transported to the "Spirit World", where giant statues of the six Intoners appear and engage Mikhail in a rhythm game. Mikhail triumphs, and after reminiscing with Zero, he destroys them. As they disintegrate, Accord states that the power of the flower has been sealed in the spirit world, nullifying its threat to humanity, although there is still a possibility of the seal breaking one day. Accord also states that although the recording function for Zero (likely the version of Accord assigned to her) was broken, she feels sure that Zero is still alive and that they will meet again.
So was it ever explained what that great collapse/cataclysm where the Cathedral City showed up overnight actually was?
>>334167397
DoD3 has a much lighter tone compared to Nier and especially DoD1 which was doom 'n gloom from the start.
Zero: Wrath
One: Pride
Two: Regrets?
Three: Psycho Mengele?
Four: Envy
Five: Gluttony
Zero best girl.
>>334167927
Three: Sloth
Two:Did nothing wrong
Bullying Zero with jumping puzzles!
>>334167927
Zero is the embodiment of the 7 sins since the sisters inherited different aspect of her personality. But One = Pride, really?
>>334168621
fag
>>334167397
The unconventional narrative of Drakengard 1 and Nier is what made the games special. Taro lost his touch with Drakengard 3 hence why some branches felt pointless and underwhelming (branch B). Not even the DLC can salvage the writing when the backstories of the intoners are literally nothing except for one,two and four's.
One a great.
>It has been three months since I wrote the words. My sisters are dead—killed by Zero, the betrayer. And yet, I do not feel the fault is hers alone. My sisters were tossed and twisted by the power of their songs, and now the world once again spins toward its own destruction. ...Where did I go wrong? ...Were my motives not pure? It matters not. Zero is coming for me, and it seems my punishment will be to die with such doubts in my mind.
>Please forgive me, my sisters. I will go to join you now.
>>334168519
>Doing nothing wrong
The worst Sin in Midgard, after "being a child"
More Cent shenanigans
Water for Lady Two
For the past week, Lady Two has consumed only water.
My days blur into each other as I spend dawn to dusk speaking with my lady. I talk about all the special times we spent together, and yet she never answers.
Tonight, after I laid her down, I found my hands around her beautiful neck. It would have been so easy. Just a little bit of pressure, and she could finally have peace. Such terrible thoughts. Ah, my love. Please forgive me...
http://drakengard.wikia.com/wiki/Memories_of_the_Intoners
>Three has sex with random soldiers
Fascinating stuff
>>334170424
Wouldn't snapping her neck not kill her anyway? You need dragon stuff.
>>334170493
>backstory on the cyclops from DoD1
>>334168621
>>334170597
It's like she read my mind!
>>334170597
Maybe i should get the Japanese voice DLC to see how much they've "localized" Zero's character. It will be a weird case of subs not matching the dialogue.
>>334170493
Four's rants are fantastic.
She needed to get laid.
>>334170493
I want to be the random soldier
>>334170493
Mikhail post Zero makes me feel like shit.
>>334170794
I got the DLC after 3 minutes listening to the English dub.
It's awful.
Especially Cent, Five, Ditto, those were the worst dubs of the bunch.
someone post that gif of zero shrugging it's kawaii as fuck
>>334173257
this one?
>>334173421
yeah thank you
I don't know why but it looks so adorable
>>334164427
it's probably the only happy ending in a yoko taro game, though, you have to accept that he probably has no idea how to write them
I legit liked this game a lot. Sue me faggots.
>>334167397
I think the change in context is the point of the story, multiple viewpoints on the same occurrence. The game starts off with Zero as a psychopath that wants her sisters' power and will kill anybody who stands in her way and by branch E you're going through brainwashed masses to impede an evil flower from destroying the world. Zero knows far more than the player and the gradual reveal of her intentions and motivations make it so the story can play with her character.
If there is one major flaw with the storytelling is that it never explores Mikhail and how he would grow in the universe the game takes place in. He was probably the only innocent creature in the entire game and I wondered if they would ever show him breaking or just giving up his simple ways to become a senseless killer like Zero. But even by branch E he's hardly changed other than being slightly more capable by himself and having earned a slight amount of Zero's respect.
Regardless the game has a very different tone than 1 so I can understand your not liking it.
>>334164241
Welp. Never doing that ending.
>>334174517
>Mikhail and how he would grow in the universe the game takes place in
I think the game gives you enough to assume that he'd turn out like Michael, who in flashbacks is revealed to be a wizened but just as goofy Mikhail. The short story is pretty depressing, but he lived a long and somewhat decent life after the game.
>>334174689
The key is to not even look at it. Hope you aren't rhythmically retarded.
>>334164427
>not feeling fucking enlightened after finally having played a hard game and finishing it
Fucking casual mate.
>>334174689
>>334174809
I can't remember the name of the youtuber but god damn that salty fuck that was reviewing the game and ranted for 10 minutes about the last boss.
Then proceed to call him shit at video games for maximum but hurt.
After dozens of hours he still didn't figure out to just close his eyes instead of looking at the screen.
>>334166846
>Drakengard 3 takes place in a universe where the Roman's existed
Its literally Europe in a timeline where a lifeless modern day city filled with magic suddenly appeared out of fucking nowhere around...what, 1000AD?
>>334167774
Probably something similar to Caim and Angelus showing up in Tokyo, but in reverse.
>>334165395
From what I can gather this is about right.
Zero is only interested in her personal motivation. She saves the world by getting what she wants, but that's more of a small bonus as opposed her ultimate goal.
Either way it still makes her more of a hero than Caim and Nier.
>>334173770
His standards for a 'happy' ending are way too weird!
>>334175085
>modern day city filled with magic
Where is it from?
Why was it there?
How did it get there?
Find out in Drakengard! Another novel that won't be translated!
>>334175070
the real problem is the two that don't make a sound and it's all quiet and the ending cutscene starts
>>334173770
I'll have you know that he writes endings first and foremost and then goes backwards creating key points of empathy for the characters so you'll be even more crushed at their dispair as you progress, this because he got scarred for life as a kid as he watched his childhood friend fall from a high roof and splat on the ground at high velocity, his reaction? Laughs.
This guy is fucking nuts, he is funded by an even nuttier dude and makes nut games, couldn't ask for anything better.
>>334175313
Why didn't she just surrender to the flower then?
>>334175509
>scarred for life as a kid as he watched his childhood friend fall from a high roof and splat on the ground at high velocity, his reaction? Laughs.
>laughs
>tfw no osananajiime route, ever
Poor guy
>>334167197
The abominations are what Zero and her sisters will turn into if they're alive for too long, is the short version.
>>334175497
Don't look at the screen
Don't hear the sounds
Become the song itself
>>334175604
childhood friend never wins confirmed IRL
>>334175598
She'd still be alive, probably suffering forever locked inside of an abomination.
Maybe mixed with a little bit of "how dare you use ME of all people for this bullshit, ugh"
Playing drakengard 1 right now.
When does it get good?
>>334167626
>there is a slitght change to meet again Zero one day, maybe in drakengard 4 if Nier Automata succeeds thanks to platinum
please oh please oh please oh please I swear to god I'd give my left arm to see Yoko Taro reach call of duty levels of popularity fucking yes
>>334175598
The flower doesn't kill her, it turns her into that.... monster statue thing. That's not what she wants.
>>334176127
It doesn't
>>334175958
This was 3 times the bullshit than the Branch D boss.
>>334176127
When you aren't killing or waifuing your dragon.
>>334176127
Never. The only joy you can really get from any of these games is thinking about them in hindsight.
I mean, I love all of them (even 2, but less so), but they aren't good games.
>>334176192
Absolutely.
>>334166414
I remember studying back in school how the thing that basically happens to Five is literally an ancient curse said to be the most favourite of the devil himself to torture maidens.

>The key is to not even look at it. Hope you aren't rhythmically retarded.
Although I agree to an extent I don't think there's any way someone could guess the final note on their first time.
I get that in a way Zero is supposed to be the flower and Mikhail's answer is the shield, but by that time I was downright sick of counting 4/4 and I couldn't appreciate the concept
>>334176415
What chapter number are you on? The game has different endings you have to get in order so you can jump off and stop playing at any one you like.
>>334176780
Chapter 8, verse 5.
>>334176279
>>334176280
Why did Cain go so crazy? He seemed relatively normal in Inuart's novella.
After Legna had them for lunch?
>>334177062
nigga was fucked up from the start
>>334176415
Yes, you may as well tough it out until the very end
>>334176415
Ending E has a bullshit requirement before you can get to it.
"In some air mission, defeat the Black Dragon in under 3 minutes with 70% HP remaining"
What kinda of horse in a shit
>>334177062
it was less that he went crazy and more that he finally had an outlet for the feelings he's had since adolescence
At least that's the conclusion I've drawn after reading all the extra/weapon stories with him because I'm not really fond of the CAIM IS SO CRAZY XDDDD meme.
I think DG3 was just Taro playing it safe since he got even less of a budget for it than he did for Nier and DG1
It's maddening because Taro could do great things with a budget. Hopefully Nier Automata stands to prove that
>Hey Zero, did I do a good job? Would you praise me? Or would you just hit me furiously?

One and Two are my favourite Intoners.
>you will never fuck a black hole

You're not too far off from the first ending, if you're tired of the game and want to drop off early.

God, that text hit me like a ton of bricks.
You can tell from his wording that years are passing and he's gradually becoming smarter. But in the end he isn't able to stop the wars, and just dies broken and alone.
>Ahhh... About time the tip of Zero's sword reached my brain. I guess it's true—you DO get to see your whole life flash before your eyes. Geez, it takes forever! Now I had to think about all this crap I wanted to forget. Meh. Oh well. So long, One, you stubborn old bitch! So long, Two, you lovey-dovey bitch! So long, Three, you crazy weirdo bitch! So long, Five, you oversexed bitch! And so long, Zero, the bitch who's killing me right now! Oh, and the biggest bitch of all, which is, of course, me. I'll see you all in hell!

>>334183606
I love how Four talks when she's having her final thoughts. It's like reading the last moments of a really pissed off goody two shoes who never learned more than one or two swear words.

>>334176151
I saw that as the Grotesquery queen of D1
>>334186305
;_;
>>334186536
Bringing her back would be a huge fuck you to her and Mikhail though, after all that shit she went through its beter to let her finally rest having saved the world and put her "sisters" out of their misery, if he brings a character back from the previous game its only to subject them to suffering as we saw tih Caim in D2 and Nier
>>334186717
But Caim and Angelus died happy.
>>334186883
Because Taro wasn't directing DoD2
>>334186883
After Angelus was subject to a living hell for decades and in Nier Caim came back after the missile attack becoming a entity of pure hatred that drove humanity to extinction becasue they didn't want to give him the dragon corpse back
>>334187097
Cain appeared in Nier? Where?
>>334187097
When the fuck did that happen?
>>334187207
>>334187678

>>334187821
>>334187725
Jesus fucking christ
>>334187725
Fuck, so Caim was Red Eye, I always thought it couldn't possibly be him since he was described as not very humanoid like
Also he didn't have red eyes.
>>334186717
>Bringing her back would be a huge fuck you to her and Mikhail though
That's what Taro does to all his characters though
Where is the Automata news???
>>334188217
The legion in general didn't keep a perfectly human form just something vaguely humanoid since they are more or less animated piles of that white thing, I think it was salt, with Caim being a sort of exception because he eitehr made a contract with the Grotesquerie Queen to come back or raged so fucking hard he came back on his own with red eyes
>>334188495
Still, it's a shame he was killed in Jerusalem before he could find Angelus' body.
>>334170540
Yeah but it's not like he knows this. Even if you have One around to explain how shit works Cent's not the most reliable intellectually speaking. He started that whole thing anyway and if Two is at fault for anything it's leaving that dumb ass to his own devices.
>>334172412
Does the dialogue change?
>>334187725
So Caim being Red-Eye is confirmed?
Man now I really want to play a game with Shots Weiss fighting Legion in Jerusalem
>>334188591
Yeah I do wonder what was that thing that came later that also had red eyes and was finally killed by one of the Androids, speaking of that do we know anything about when Automata happens on the timeline? It can't be too far in the future because there is that alien war
>>334188698
Subtitles remain the same, but there's some obvious (bad) localization going on.
Nothing that was mistranslated too badly.
Opinion?
>>334188797
Red Eye was killed a few times if I recall but kept coming back
>>334188863
>The Legions were led by a monster called Red Eye. After its defeat in Jerusalem in 2030 by the 13th Crusade, the Legions became much less organized, and thus less of a threat to humanity. However, due to the remaining presence of infectious maso, Project Gestalt continued, leaving Replicants and androids behind to rid the world of the maso and the remaining Legions. In 3276, a Replicant traveled to Jerusalem and unwittingly caused the rebirth of Red Eye from its atomized remains. With this, the Legions once again became a major threat. After an 11 year battle, Red Eye was once again defeated and all traces of infectious maso were confirmed purged from the world, thus ending the threat of Legions and White Chlorination Syndrome.
>>334188820
Caim's story and the Manah sequence were good, everything else was irredeemable trash
>>334188863
Yeah but the one in the future was a aparently a female one and it possessed a Replicant and also actually talked, I don't remember the Caim Red Eye talking
>>334188820
Caim/Angelus parts and Eris getting NTRd every few chapter were the only good parts.
And Mana freaking out over Caim, I guess, those were fun too.
I wish it could have expanded more on Furiae and Inuart, I mean he is fucking riding his Dragon.
>>334188970
Caim's rage could power 3 suns.
>>334188820
>son of a whiny beta assholes grow up into a whiny beta asshole
>>334189536
Didn't he end up a God? Thousand feet long magic sword, wings and all.
All according to Dragon keikaku
>>334189667
In one of the endings yeah
>>334189751
Two endings, I think.
>>334189858
I think it was in only one, in another he woke all the dragons or made his dragon a god, in another a army of golems destroyed all dragons or something, I barely even remember that game
>>334189982
I know you fight Legna two times in their air, both times you're the shiny God faggot.
>>334184142
Nier wasn't that hard to get through, though. I think that the only legitimately difficult part of the game was the fucking fishing sidequest, and that was just a learning curve more than real difficulty.
>>334189667
Didn't help his personality though, thankfully that timeline was dumpstered
>>334189234
Red Eye was also so powerful a nuke simply knocked it out
I have no idea how Drakengard has a fanbase; the games are so awful that even the fans think the games are bad.
Is Nier at least playable at the end? Or do you get an endgame like Drakengard 3 where it's a rthym bullshit that's virtually unplayable?
I played Nier forever ago and might pick it up again because I'm very bored and can't find anything else
>>334190125
Why don't they just nuke giga-nigga-caim several times over? If a nuke is equivalent to a KO punch imagine what 300 of them will do
>>334190125
>Caim powered on rage against humanity doing what he loves second most, murder
Game, novel, manga, I don't care.
Just give me.
>>334190257
Because the one nuke spread the Maso over the entire world making the situation a billion times worse
>>334190217
It's a DoD thing you wouldn't understand
Zero>One>two>three>Four>5
>>334190567
Yes, you know your 1st grade math, well done, well done.
>>334190217
Nier is very much a different beast from the DoD series. No rhythm stuff, the only real irritation in getting all the endings is having to do sidequests.
>>334190217
Because we too are all awful poeple
>>334190217
Nier definitely plays better than the Drakengard games, from what I can tell
>>334188698
Dialogue doesn't change that much, but how the characters are interpreted depend on the language. For example, in the English dub, Zero will come off as a bitch 24/7, while in Japanese she'll have her soft moments, especially when she's talking to Mikhail.
>>334190752
Speaking of combat, I preferred DoD3 to Nier.
>>334190217
>Nier/Drakengard games are awful.
When will this meme die?
>>334190897
Lets be honest, gameplay is functional at best
>>334190961
It's basic and only exist so it can be called a game.
>>334190217
A work doesn't need to be functionally high quality to be enjoyable. This is something true for all mediums.
There can be beauty in the broken.
>>334190961
Thats why I have high hopes for automata Platinum gameplay is top tier stuff
>>334190897
They are, but they usually have one or two aspects that hook you in anyhow.
For DoD1, it was story, atmosphere and setting.
For DoD3, it was banter, waifus and music and setting.
For Nier, it was music, setting and characters.
With the combat steadily improving game by game.
>>334191093
For me I actually liked some of the open world aspects of 1 and the dragon missions really good in my opinion. The desert at night was kinda comfy.
3 had the best character designs and sometimes the combat was actually fun, the music really helped make that game good.
NieR had a bit of everything, the combat was alright but the enemies made it so hard to do anything fun with it, the setting, level designs and music were great. I only wish NieR had a bigger budget. Imagine the Desert temple literally being a zelda clone with actual puzzles, imagine the woods area actually being a fully fleshed out level that slowly dissolves into a text game. Imagine the scrapyard not having to be recycled 3 times.
>>334188818
>>334190779
Well that's what I am asking. Are the subs the same as the engislish voice or is this a case if Zero still cursing people out but sounding softer. Because I think I would prefer the English if thats the case.
So what was Two's disability? One was extra sensitive, Four had xbox hueg nails, Five had tits (implying disability)
>>334191617
It was her strength, it kept constantly growing.
>>334191673
And also, due to that she was the first of the intoners who lost her shit
>>334191815
She lost her shit because she cared too much for the orphans, seeing them turn into whatever the fuck that thing was borked her.
What even happened there anyway? How did the children turn homonculus and why were the soldiers insane? How did that even happen under One's watch?
>>334191056
A work doesn't need to be anything to be enjoyable.
That doesn't mean most people are going to enjoy that work. Drakengard does have a certain charm to it, but I'd never touch another game after suffering through 10ish hours of 3. The design of the sisters and their interactions were sexy as fuck, but that's about it. I fucking hate dragons and think they're lame as shit btw.
>>334191570
The words are the same. How they sound differ. In the English dub, Zero constantly sounds cranky and angry. While she is supposed to be this way most of the time, in the Japanese she occasionally talks to others in a softer tone. The Japanese does a better job at capturing her character than the English.
>>334192154
>I fucking hate dragons and think they're lame as shit btw.
Where did your childhood dreams go, anon?
>>334188820
Bad story, but the cutscene where Caim returns is my favourite in the entire series.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlFTRLKboFo
>>334192420
That was fucking intense.
>>334192109
Huh? It was pretty clear how it happened, Cent used Two's songs on her subjects thinking they would grow more powerful and unified, wanting to spare her of looking after them all the time.
Two's songs didn't provide the desired results because it was too powerful to control.
>>334192109
Cent used Two's song to strengthen the soldiers so they would be able to protect Two. Unfortunately, the song causes withdrawal symptoms and eventually fucks up anyone who hears it.
I forgot what Cent had Two's song do to the children, maybe heal them or so.
>>334192607
Ah, yes, Cent.
I was trying to get his ear grater voice out of my head so hard I forgot he existed.
>>334192530
It's so damn good, and it's even better once you remember that Caim's still wearing crocs.
>>334192258
They're so overused and dull. Giant gay lizards. And the one in Drakengard pisses all over the place, talks like a retarded baby, and irritates the shit out of me.
Drakengard 3 is also the only game that has made me whine about a framerate. Like how does a game as ugly as this regularly drop to 6 FPS? Does Taro run a charity where he hires braindamaged programmers or something?
I've got to find time to read through 200+ different weapon histories.
>>334192109
>>334192607
IIRC after being "saved" by intoner song there is also an element of "the farther away your intoner is from you, the more unstable you become"
>>334192864
Well fuck, I guess going around hunting cooking recipes backfired.
>>334193542
Pretty much. That's why Cent was so heartbroken, because it was his idea to heal the desert people with Two's power. They didn't know.
>>334193782
Murphy's law seems to be main building block of all Taro games.
>>334192154
>That doesn't mean most people are going to enjoy that work.
I didn't argue that would be the case. There are works that many people will not enjoy, and this is a case of that.
My point was simply that being significantly flawed doesn't stop something being enjoyable depending on various things.
>>334193782
Which is why Two did nothing wrong except fail to keep her bitch in check.
>>334166704
Uh. This world that we're in IS Midgard. What are you talking about.
>>334194392
No Intoner but Zero and Three did anything wrong.
>>334194447
Wake me up when flying 20 foot babies show up from the sky.
>>334194458
>Didun nuffins apologist
>>334194458
Nah. As much as I love me some Five her gluttony bears on sickening. Not even counting that some of us in this thread believe we could keep up and sustain a wild and kinky sex life such as hers, she wasn't above giving pain to others if she felt she was being slighted.
>>334194458
Five pulled off peoples fingernails for food recipes
>>334194645
It's true, One's goal was bringing peace to land until she found out about the flower.
Two was sheltering orphans and cleaning up monters.
Four was following One's orders, albeit a bit zealously, they're elves anyway so it's not manslaughter.
Five was just out to have fun, eat, shit and fuck.
>>334194781
Goons of the land lords, perfectly justifiable.
>>334194458
She did everything wrong just by existing in the world of drakengard btw. Happiness? Love and tenderness? Strike this bitch down where she stands!
>>334194897
Where did it say that because I was under the impression it was just some local she tortured.
>>334195004
It's been a while since I played so I'm not sure.
Though I see no sense in a civilian hiding something from a Intoner to need torture.
>>334194739
See. My case in point.>>334194781
She probably wasn't above doing shit like that or worse to others. Yeah she was trying to get better but she aint perfect.
And no, that role does not go to four either.
>>334166414
How was Five trying to change? I don't remember that part.
>>334163973
I read on here that DOD3 was something about killing for a good cause, even if it makes you look like a monster. I think. Could be wrong.
>>334195004
>>334195153
She tortured him over a legend. He was trying to tell her that it wasn't real and she didn't believe him. Off with his nails.
On top of that she finds out he was right at the end too. Yeah no, fuck her and her couch.
>>334195310
Read the little stories if you bought her dlc. She was reading books on how to be a better ruler.
>>334195153
The impression I got was that she was chasing a rumour that there was some sort of legendary food that the locals were hiding. The legendary food probably didn't exist and when people wouldn't tell her she assumed they were hiding it from her and tortured them for information they didn't have, so they made up some shit and lead her into monster nests so that she would stop torturing.
>>334195310
It's in her memoirs in the dlc. She was reading up on books about how to rule empires empires and donating her excess clothes and food to the poor.
Four died a virgin.
All her sisters fucked like rabbits.
>>334195559
Didn't Dito mention that she smells bad too due to her eating habits? Like sickly sweet all the time or something? If the scent is how I imagine I dunno if I could endure servitude like that.
>>334195694
That's what she gets for not being honest with her feelings and expecting Decadus to make the first move. Gotta slut it out and demand the dick sometimes anon.
>>334195876
I don't think you can take Dito's words at face value, he's kinda psycho and loves the smell of guts and intestines.
>>334195876
Dito also mentioned he was disgusted at the thought of her meaty thighs and got turned on by intestines so I think Dito might just have extremely shit taste
>>334195694
Four died a proud and noble girl.
>>334195876
Yes he did, but you gotta know it is Dito saying that, his preferences and tastes are warped, he finds death beautiful and the possibly stinking undead Five probably smelled great to him.
>>334195694
>This STILL going on? I've already complained about everything I wanted to! This is a waste of my time. Okay, fiiine. Um... I guess... Oh, hey! Decadus! ...Actually, I don't have much to say about him. It's not like I actually always wanted him to come into my bed at night, or that I actually was really interested in sexual talk, or that I wanted him to act more forward and take charge or anything. He could have tried to be normal... In fact, I could sum up everything I want to tell him like this: "YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE!"
She wanted the D, actually.
She didn't get the D.
She got the Z.
>>334194576
Look they can call it whatever they want, but Midgard refers to Earth. Midgard is a nordic concept, it literally means this world.
>>334196119
Four also wanted the Z as well as the O since Decadus mentions she sometimes called out her sisters names when she didled herself and One and Zero were the only sisters she didn't want to kill.
So how do you guys feel about the song they released for Automata recently?
http://www.jp.square-enix.com/nier-new/teaser_assets/audio/theme_short.mp3
I think it sounds pretty nice.
>>334196071
>boobs
This is a lie, she has pancackes
>>334167523
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jM4rez0DnSk
that was entertaining as hell, what the fuck is this game?
>>334196340
She has the smallest cup size, but she wasn't flat.
>>334175958
What do you mean, the other intoners are inside of those statues?
>>334196401
Pretty sure One was flatter becuase of utahime five, but Four is canonically flat, she says so in her novella.
Maybe not completely flat like One, but still, she calls her boobs pancackes.
>>334196335
Really nice. Hoping the OST has more songs in english if they're going for that.
