What was his problem ?
>>339842793
Insanity.
>>339842793
he missed free haircut tuesday
>No voice
>Half his soul is fucking DEAD
>He's stuck in generic RPG land
>He's the only good thing about the game
Fuck Drak2.
>>339843545
Dont forget stabbed in the eye by the Manah
and she doesn't die
>>339843545
Drakengard 2 wasn't Yoko Taro's so..
His waifu was being harassed.
>>339842793
Edgy done right.
>>339843545
Trying to "redeem" Manah is the worst, most anime thing about D2.
Aside from the Dragonchild shit, I mean.
>>339844692
She deserved those years of torture from Caim.
>>339845339
>torture
What fucking torture? All he did was forced her to walk the earth looking at the shit she caused
>>339845612
Considering it's Caim I doubt that was all he did.
>>339845339
She may have been possessed by dark gods at a young age, but D2 Manah is a fucking retard.
>I nearly killed the world as a child...I KNOW, I SHOULD DO THE SAME THING AGAIN!
>>339845731
Caim has no sex drive, just murderlust.
Manah isn't dead, therefore he didn't do shit.
this is why you skip 2 and play Nier
>>339845814
b-but they were sacrificing prisoners!
>>339845904
I wasn't implying rape, I was implying beatings.
Caim's dick belongs to Angelous.
>>339845960
>DRAGONKID PLS LISTEN TO REASON
>BUT MANAH IS REALLY HOT AND I WANT TO FUCK HER!!!!
I mean, they fucked up by not going with Ending E in the first place, but wonder how a competent writer would have handled Drakengard 2.
>>339846036
You're implying he has restraint.
She's not dead, so he couldn't have possibly hit her.
He's very normal and functioning human being in a fucked up setting.
>>339846156
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO KILL URICK, CAIM!
"2minutes later"
Does Caim want to kill Urick ?
>>339845920
Wait, Nier isn't Drakengard 2?
>>339846423
DoD2 doesn't exist.
>>339846156
Caim going murderhobo on a road trip.
>>339846259
Fair enough.
>>339846156
Why was Taro Yoko not allowed to write the game ?
>>339845612
I want to walk the Earth with Caim.
>>339847449
It wasn't that they wouldn't let him so much as the fact that sequels having new directors was really common in Japan (FF2, Resi 2, Xenosaga 2, DMC2).
There's a disgusting lack of murder in this thread.
>>339847449
Because Taro wanted space dragons and they told him to fuck off, so they just put a different guy.
Despite that, Natori was still a writer. A shame that he's not in Automata.
>>339848285
>Square said no to turning Panzer Dragoon X Dynasty Warriors into Panzer Dragoon X Phantasy Star.
I'm not surprised.
>>339842793
he was the most sane person of the game
>>339848629
What about the dragons. Stupid anime eugenics plot aside, they seemed pretty reasonable.
>>339848756
>they
There's like one that talks
>>339848551
>Not supporting every single one of Taro's crazy ideas
What the fuck is Square's problem?
>>339849315
>What the fuck is Square's problem?
Wanting actual $$$ for a sold game.
>>339849315
To be fair, Square was the reason that the best ending was even in the DoD1
>>339849120
And it represents the whole race, don't worry about it.I do quite like how one of the few anime-isms in Taro's work, namely the bond shared by reluctant partners, is completely ignored in the otherwise anime ass sequel. It's one of the few things that really help 2 be in complete opposition to the rest: it's a game where "everything turns out fine :^)" where there's no true bonds between people and emotions are shallow, while the other games are about horrible worlds and events and terrible people who, deep down, have sincere and relatable emotions and a fragile inkling of hope.
>>339849454
Explain.
He just liked murder, OK? Don't kinkshame.
>>339849828
My kink is life so he should stop.
>>339849676
Originally DoD1 wasn't supposed to have ending A, but SE pushed it because they considered the game to be too grim otherwise
>>339843545
>upside down europe with dragons and magic
>generic rpg land
>>339850524
Am I supposed to believe Ending A is supposed to be not grim? It leads to fucking Verdelet torturing Angelus for years and practically breaking her mind.
>>339846259
Caim can just hit people without murdering them if he wants to, though whether he could refrain from outright killing Manah is up for debate

>>339851027
>Fairie collaborator
He should have gutted him on the fucking spot.
>>339850524
I thought you meant the best ending, not the least horrific.
>>339850994
Well that's not in the game per se. Also it's a deal less grim than
Mutant sister clones apocalypse
Dragon apocalypse
Being frozen in time while being murdered by space babies
Get shot down by japanese jets
>>339850894
...are you implying it's not? Because that's as standard as RPGs get.
>>339850894
Sounds about right
>>339850994
I always saw Ending A as the "journalist/reviewer ending."
It kind of ties just quickly wraps up the story (leaving lots of loose ends) and is, at least to me, a rather typical bittersweet ending. It feels like an ending for people who rush through a game once and never pick it up again. The other endings, are very different, and get better and better as rewards for the players who enjoy the game and/or put in the effort. I don't think it's grim since DoD2 isn't "really" canon, hasn't happened yet, and isn't even directly related to Ending A as much as it's an amalgamation of several of the endings.
Did Caim lend out Manah to old men during their fun travels?
>>339842793
A murder and hatred boner that'd make Doomguy think he was a distant relative of the guy.
>>339853147
Reminds me a bit of DoD3.
Branch A doesn't really answer anything about the story, and it even adds more questions, while all the other endings explain more than the rest of the entire game.Am I the only one that loved Branch D's final boss?
>>339855001
I experienced that already with DoD1 ending E, but more hardcore.
The song was fantastic though.
>>339855001
I thought it was cool and I loved the music, but I sucked at it.
La La La
>>339850994
>It leads to fucking Verdelet torturing Angelus for years and practically breaking her mind.
Eh, not until the second game was that what ending A meant. And the second game was shit so I don't even think about it as cannon.
>>339855001
I loved it too but it was extremely frustrating because my rhythm is fucked up.
>>339855213
>>339855268
>>339855732
I've seen people saying that they were stuck for months, but I honestly didn't find it THAT hard. Still took me almost 3 hours to beat.
The last note was total bullshit though.
>>339849409
If that was the case Yoko Taro wouldn't be allowed to make games in the first place.
>>339850894
Drakengard is generic fantasy with 2 cups of grimdark, 2 cups of insanity and a teaspoon of crystal meth.
>>339856074
I never did beat it on my own.;_;
That being said, I still love it and think it's one of the coolest last bosses ever imagined. The salt alone from other people makes it awesome.
>>339842793
None, he just really loved to kill things and Legna.
>>339857685
Only cups? Seems like the dosage is small.
Oh boy, Drakenguard thread
Why is Cain just so great at everything forever?
>>339855001
I love it. Like a battered wife.
>>339848756
They were fucking Angels servants. Where it's reasonable to let Angels consume another world?
>>339858024
It's Caim, not Cain.
And that pic is only good for a few giggles, it's mostly wrong.
>>339858171
What? The watchers and dragons are out to kill eachother every chance they get.
Not like arguing DoD2 has any point since it's not really canon.
>>339858319
>The Dragons were originally created to be the servants and "Messengers" of the gods alongside the Watchers: both were created to aid in guarding the world and eventually destroying mankind.
>>339858743
How many thousands of years ago was that?
>>339858743
They didn't exactly perform the task they were given.
>>339858743
>Gods and Watchers
I thought they were the same thing.
>>339858024
>The music is terrible
Always stop reading there.
>>339855001
>I actually have a good sense of rhythm.
>Reach end, fall for the fakeout but still die.
>Realize there's a silent note at the end.
>Beat it after three more tries, one of which was guessing the silent note wrong.
I liked it. I guess a lot of people just can't into music.
>>339859130
The "gods" are the real life humans in Japan who created the game. It's intentionally meta like that. Angels and Watchers are the same thing, though.
>>339859386
I always figured "Gods" would be like the Grotesque queen and the watchers would be her babies.
>>339855586
You know you fucked up when the previous game had fucking awful gameplay and your installment is the "shitty" one.
>>339859246
>>339858024
This is immensely infuriating. The music is smart and is more important for the feel of the game than anything else. It's incredibly well done.
Not every ost has to be pleasant relaxing harmonies.
>>339859974
I still think DoD 2 had worse gameplay than the first one.
>>339860247
I think the gameplay was better, but it was even more boring...somehow.
>>339860341
I found it frustrating. The character/weapon system was bad, the enemies were really annoying and Legna was a flying turret with shitty unsatisfying moves. Using Angelus in the ground missions was easily the best part about DoD 1's gameplay but Legna is complete trash in 2.
