So I've recently watched the anime and have been digging into the manga. Still in the midst of retreading the basic plot and picking up the excluded details, but it seems pretty good so far.
Are the games any good? Or should I give them a miss? Do they fit into any arc, or are they stand-alone?

I only know of that one Dreamcast game, it looked fairly decent as fanservice-material.
Dark Souls and Dragons Dogma are obviously inspired by Berserk to some extent, if you're also looking for stuff like that.
Dragons Dogma especially lets you go full Guts-mode with two handed swords, it feels amazing.
There's literally Guts and Griffith armor in the game toonot on PC though due to licensing issues

>There's literally Guts and Griffith armor in the game too
Dark Souls also has Guts's and Griffith's armor (for the most part).

Care to post them?
I mean you can probably cosplay them somehow but I'm not aware of any straight references in terms of armor.

Baldur Knight set and Silver Knight set. Later games seem to offer better options. I've seen good DaS3 Guts builds.
If Guts was a squirrel his name would be Nuts

The PS2 it's the only game you need of Berserk, it's JAP only and it's PS2 exclusive but there is a patch to translate it to english and there is also emulators, the framerate isn't that good and you will need to touch some things before you get it working right, for me it's worth it, the combat is amazing specially when you level up Guts Swordsman skills, parrying in the game is also good and the boss fights never loose the flow compared to other games.

If Guts was a girl would her name be Butts?
>>335706279
If guts was raped as a child his name would be bleeding Butts.

Don't worry bro somebody modded in the alternative.
The PS2 game is horse shit, sadly.
Never played the dreamcast one.

It's not.

Ah yes, slowing trekking across bland and dull maps just to get to that one objective before you have to backtrack all the way to the other sides of the map to get those other objectives while being bombarded with cannon fodder that you mostly 2-shot which give next to no EXP while upgrades cost an arm and a leg.
The boss fights are the only good thing about that game. Parrying shit is rad.
Terrible game overall though, and I'm saying that as a humongous Berserk fan.

Memes aside, I actually found myself empathizing strongly with Griffith.

Not at all. It isn't an edge thing. I just know what it feels like to have everything seeming like it's going to work out and then a monkey wrench flies in and you crack. And you crack so badly that you fuck up everything else you had.

He was his own monkey wrench, literally everything bad that happened to him after Guts left is entirely his own fault
>>335712020
empathizing is not the same as sympathizing faggot
>>335712525
Griffith is/was a control freak. He had a need to feel like everything was under his control. When things weren't under his control, he desperately would try to reassert control somewhere. That's what happened.
It was his fault, but that's sort of what I empathize with. I know self-destruction very well.

Looks like some mystical and wise negro wizard.

That fucking elf, every single time.
>>335703262
Has the little witch loli been raped yet?
Dont read/watch Bersker. Its never gonna finish, ever. Better to ignore it.

Hi OP.
The Dreamcast game is actually pretty good but very short. It could also theoretically be canon but is an original story.
The PS2 has a much more indepth battle system and takes place during the trolls arc. It's longer but a bit repetitive. You can summon your buddies as one-shot attacks to help you fight.
They are both good in their own ways.

Where does the Dreamcast game fit into the canon?
If I remember right it only had Guts, Puck, and Casca travelling together and I can't remember there being a time when that was the case
