Literally female Donte.
Say what you like about Drakengard protagonists, at least they're committed to being the edgiest motherfuckers around.
This bitch needs to smoke some weed and chill.
>>340177434
Most Yoko Taro works are like that, he knows they're edgy so he goes all the way with it. Especially in Thou Shalt Not Die, the mc is a total edgelord but everyone brushes it off as him being a wierdo.
>>340177496
More like smoke a dragon dick.
>>340176268
No, she doesn't try to be edgy to be cool, she just is. Just like the game itself.
And considering her past and current situation she deserves being a likeable unlikeable cunt.
>>340177739
Does dragon cum contain THC?
>>340178075
Does it matter?

FUCK
Drakengard MCs need to be edgy.
She feels more like Travis Touchdown, but a pleb like you would't know.
>>340177739
too big for her

>>340180214
A not edgy protagonist would probably just have a mental breakdown after the first mission. "I killed 3000 men, oh my god I'm such a monster!"
>>340180486
She's a big girl.
>>340176268
To be fair to her, her life has been pretty shit.
I'd probably be edgy if I were her too.

Doesn't nathan drake kill a gorillion people every game? That nigga aint edgy, although he feels like a fucking psycho for behaving like he does after a murder spree.
>>340176268
it's ok though because it's made by japanese developers!
>>340180572
Case in point

>>340176268
The difference is that Donte is just a cunt who hasn't had to go through nearly as much as Zero and he's also supposed to be cool. Zero is just a nutjob.
>>340177496

Nathan Drake is a sociopath, no two ways about it.
>>340182359
It was about 10 years ago when we were working on the original Drakengard that I thought about the meaning of “killing.” I was looking at a lot of games back then, and I saw these messages like “You’ve defeated 100 enemies!” or “Eradicated 100 enemy soldiers!” in an almost gloating manner. But when I thought about it in an extremely calm state of mind, it hit me that gloating about killing a hundred people is strange. I mean, you’re a serial killer if you killed a hundred people. It just struck me as insane.
>>340182681
What the fuck.
>>340182176
WEED
How long is this game? I'm only a few hours in and one of the sisters is already dead.
>>340180921
My favorite scene in any video game ever.
>>340180894
There's a total killcount for Drakengard and after one playthrough it often reach 50k+ kills.

There is LITERALLY NOTHING WRONG with being EDGY if you are a cute girl
DoD3 was a mistake
>>340186059
There is actually. Everyone loves Zero but i'm pretty sure nobody likes the "muh justice" cunt from Akame ga Kill.
>>340185847
>official
>>340186178
Drakengard was a mistake, which is why I like it.
>>340186221
She's simply not cute enough then
Caim had his country destroyed, his parents killed, his sister kidnapped. He is justified kill all the people who shat on his country and his life.
>>340186337
1 is okay. Caim's edgy done right.
>>340186337
Back in the PS2 era it was a decent game.
>>340186221
>>340186059
No likes lightnings personality either sure the only they discuss about her are her armpits
Women aren't judged by the same social standards as men. No one would care if she was that edgy.
Why do you think "nerdy" and "awkward" girls still get mad dick from all types of guys from chads to other nerds? Men aren't supposed to be awkward or dorky to get women, but women can be.
They're judged by different standards. Basically as long as she's hot and doesn't try to cut your dick off a woman can be as edgy or cringe as she wants and a bunch of people will still fuck her.
>>340176268
One did nothing wrong. Fuck Zero.
>>340186908
I'd fuck all the intoners if I could.
>>340176268
I don't quite understand the appeal of this game series. It seems to just throw a bunch of edgy shit for the sake of it. I don't mean "edgy" like the meme word, either. I mean actual edgy shit like murder, blood and sexual shit. Seems to be there just for the hell of it.
I'd think /v/ of all groups would be against it, but it seems to have many, many fans here. Maybe there's something good about the story that I'm missing.
>>340186807
>t. a tweennager
Can't say which version of her is better, the normal japanese one or the altered, foul mouthed english translation.
>>340187443
Every single thing I can think of is justified. Arioch for example, snapped after she lost her children. Pic related is her weapon story. If you can be more clear with what you are talking about, maybe I could help.
>>340176268
Try Kratos. both literally have the same goal
>>340187443
>seems
>seems
>seems
try playing the game then
>>340188190
Not literally. Kratos is not trying to kill his Weapons of Mass Destruction children/clones.
But their goals are kind of similar, ye.
>>340182757
I can see his point but I don't think it's entirely true. Soldiers are essentially state-authorised mass murderers, but it's not seen in the same way. Sure, soldiers get PTSD and other psychological conditions from warfare, but you still have people who've killed dozens (possibly 100+ like that one US sniper, not the copypasta one) of people and probably wouldn't admit to regretting it. Because it's you or them, at the end of the day.
Likewise, soldiers on a battlefield in a more medieval era like Drakengard would probably be even more desensitized by war, considering the brutality of the era relative to the current time. And no, I'm not saying that grimdark shit like Berserk or whatever is a realistic potrayal, but it would still have been harsher than typical life in the first world these days.
>>340176268
If she was Donte she'd be trying to act cool about it instead
>>340187443
Being edgy is justified if the reason supports it and not just there to appeal to teenagers.
The whole game is written around Zero being a cockhungry murderhobo. From her origin story to how other characters react to her, everything supports what she is.
>>340180572
It was kind of jarring that happy-go-lucky Nowe didn't seem to give a fuck about slaughtering his former comrades for some random cute blonde chick
>>340184761

>>340188835
>We created this game called Nier, and after the world experienced the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the war in Iraq, we were being bombarded with updates on terrorist organizations and activities even in Japan. That’s when my opinion changed.
>The vibe I was getting from society was: you don’t have to be insane to kill someone. You just have to think you’re right. So that’s why I made Nier a game revolving around this concept of “being able to kill others if you think you’re right,” or “everyone believes that they’re in the right.”

>>340189340
That's pretty good. I look forward to what he came up with for Automata.I just spoiled myself on Nier, didn't I? Dammit.
I really really want to get into the the series because it looks extremely interesting to me, so I started with the first game but the gameplay is putting me to sleep
The flying sections are sort of cool I guess though...
I intend to persevere so I'll still play it through to the end but can you guys tell me if it gets better later in the game/series?
>>340186908
If Zero didn't step up to the plate, One was going to do what Zero did.
She probably would have been nicer about it though.
I'm thinking about playing Drakengard
Do the first two still hold up? Or should I just go with Nier or 3?
>>340187443
It's extremely unique and doesn't really give a fuck if you're having fun, which is somehow charming
>>340189803
>I intend to persevere so I'll still play it through to the end but can you guys tell me if it gets better later in the game/series?
Sort of, but really don't get your hopes up. Nier and Drakengard 3 have slightly more interesting gameplay, but I wouldn't bank on it being a reason to play them.
Drakengard 2 is just as bad as 1. Possibly worse.
>>340189803
Just play the first one and be done with the series. D2 has better combat you won't missed much even if you didn't play it. D3 is just embarrassing anime troupe shitfest
I can respect something if it goes full fledged into it's edginess.
It also makes me chuckle how hard she bullies Four for being a virgin despite slamming Five for being a turboslut one chapter before.
>Tell me, are you saving yourself, or do you just stink down there?
>>340190332
You can be critical of both extremes
>>340189693Play it. You wont see it coming, but at least at the very end you will understand what he meant
Has any other game had you kill child soldiers?
>>340190025
2 is way better gameplay wise and has th best dragon missions in the series but the characters that aren't bamed Caim, particularly Nowe, are insufferable. Oh and mask-guy is pretty cool.
Probably still worth playing for the best Caim moments if you're a fan and aren't paying out the nose for it.
>>340190069
>anime troupe shitfest
Did you only beat the first ending?
If these are anime troupes, I want to know what anime you're watching.
>>340190332
That reminds me,how did Zero know that One wasn't a virgin? From what we can tell One only had sex with brother One and since he was sister One's trump card Zero obviously didn't know about his existance.

just that you'll get an automatic game over
>>340190907
That's pretty dumb compared to Drakengard having you kill all the children with a gay pedophile.
>>340190634
I think Zero was talking more about how Four behaved and hit the nail on the head. While One was the most collected of the bunch.
Alternatively she was just shittalking to aggravate her sisters, unlike four, one had a different insecurityturning her female dragoon (who she considered a friend) in to a mindless daemon

I'd suck Yoko Taro's sock-puppet dick and een I don't think the gameplay in DoD1 is any good m8
>>340190447
"Caim plz stop killing those children trying to kill you, speak to them instead"
>>340192234
The whole idea of the character being depicted as a monster for most of the game and being depicted from the enemies point of view was a neat concept. Honestly the game just felt too silly and immature.
It didn't disturb me like Drakengard 1, it wasn't heartbreaking like Nier. It was crappy action game with a ton of bad, juvenile humor.
>>340190624
I didn't realize the whole game consist of endings.
>>340192314
Ground combat was okay actually.
Air combat however...
>>340192234
DoD3 story is up in the air and the events happened in game won't matter until Taro supports it with side materials or another game, though.
>>340176268
I haven't played it myself but didn't the localization fuck up her character or something?
>>340192609
For real? I'd argue the exact opposite
Unless you mean riding the dragon during ground missions because yeah fuck that
>>340192323
Leonard was such a dumb pedo. I remember some of the kids even had green skin or something similar. What the fuck.

Seriously, fuck that bitch for doing what she did toGabriella. That plus the selfcest is just disgusting. Worst Utahime.
>>340192839
VA did, afaik. Apparently, JP Zero sounds tired while the West Zero sounds angry and bitchy.
>>340189926
Armadillo shit is unique but that doesn't make it good.
>>340192909
We have a bunch of anons who favor DoD1's aerial combat. Including me.
Does D1 and D2 have any problem with emulation?
I loved the shit out of Nier, and would want to play D3 but I feel like I'm missing something out.
>>340192993
Gabriella consented to the demonic lobotomy because she loved One.
>>340192524
The games consist of different paths. Each path has several levels and they all have some permanent ending to that path.
So lets say that instead of having a game with 5 chapters and one definitive ending, in this series you have a game with 5 chapters and 5 different endings.
>>340192839
>>340192996
I like both.
Friend of mine only likes the english interpretation.
It was the one he experienced first. his rationale for liking Drakengard 3 was "Zero is everything I hoped Lightning from FFXIII would be"
>>340193116
D1 emulates okay but you'll get some slight slowdown in two or three of the more crowded levels and for some reason frequent massive audio slowdown at the between missions and weapon select menus.
Actually, given what has happened to her throughout the lore/story of DG3, her anger/edge is pretty well-justified
>>340193138
I wanted to see how Gabriella got daemonized in One's DLC. I'm still mad about that.
>>340189216
To be fair, Drakengard 2 was a fucking mess
>>340193516
The murders not so much though.
>>340192996
To be honest, people will never be able to experience the true JP Zero unless they know japanese, because SE just copypasted the english script into the jap VA DLC.
>>340193640
Well yeah but it's a Yoko Taro game so can you blame her?
She'd probably get slaughtered in an even more gruesome and brutal scale than any pain from the flower could hope to achieve if she weren't a murderous savage
I still wonder what Nier Automata's schtick will be with the prevalent MURDER themes in all his games. As much as Yoko Taro changes his games up, that's one theme that never leaves
>>340185572
>>340186178
I liked it
also best sister
>>340193642
I don't think we'd be able to tell without knowing the language, anyway. That's why I said "apparently" I only use Jap voices if I find the dub unbearable. That being said, I prefer JP Angel instead of the English one in DoD1. A mighty dragon voiced by a man made more sense to me.
2>0>1>4>3>5
My opinion is fact.
>>340192464
>It didn't disturb me like Drakengard 1, it wasn't heartbreaking like Nier
It wasn't as obvious. The emotional depth of the characters is there just like in those games, it just doesn't parade it around for you as much as most media.
>>340192839
There is an undercurrent of "uuugggghhhh"/lethargy to JP Zero that is repackaged as near constant anger on US Zero's part.
>>340194329
I can agree with that.
>>340194184
The granny voice is so charming though
>>340194382
t. DoD3 shill
>>340188835
We're not talking about soldiers here. They kill a few dozen enemy combatans at absolutely most. We're talking about killing thousands upon thousands. We're talking Deaths Head SS levels of killing.
The funny thing is, these people don't get PTSD. In a way it seems the more you kill, the less likely it is to drive you mad.
>Once Lalka was strolling along the platform with a double-barrelled shotgun in his hand and Barry in his wake. He discovered a Jew in front of him, a neighbour of mine from Czestochowa, by the name of Steiner. Without a second thought, he aimed the gun at the man's buttocks and fired. Steiner fell amidst cries of pain. Lalka laughed. He approached him, commanded him to get up, pull down his pants, and then glanced at the wound. The Jew was beside himself with pain. His buttocks were oozing blood from the gashes caused by the lead bullets. But Lalka was not satisfied. He waved his hand and said, "Damn it, the balls haven't been harmed!" He continued his stroll to look for a new victim

lmao love that meme thanks
I am pretty sure we can blame half of DG3 on TheDarkId
>>340194525
A racist grandma isn't so bad either, I guess.
I saw a nerd review this game and recommended Nier first. Does that still hold? I am really intrigued by Drakengard 3 more than Nier. I like it when devs say fuck you you're going to have to play this game my way, and Yoko's way being play it 4 times.
I also want to experience the final boss for myself and see if it really is bullshit or if the general populous can't into 4/4 time signatures.
I still laugh thinking at DSP ragequitting this game
>>340194382
Yeah man, old guy talking about his cock or the masochist guy were just 2deep4me.
Some of the characters like Cent, Zero or Mikhail were good but the bad characters took away too much.

Zero is the most love.
>>340194329

>>340194808
You can directly dive into DoD3, you won't lose anything. If he were a good reviewer he would recommend starting with DoD1, anyway.
>>340194329
That list is backwards.
>>340194862
>Yeah man, old guy talking about his cock or the masochist guy were just 2deep4me
...Well yeah, they definitely were, there is a lot more to their characters than those caricatures.
Did you not get it because they didn't have a big conventional explanation scene?
>Yep, Taro makes all these great, incredibly emotionally resonant characters and world elements in Nier, and then he just gets so stupid out of nowhere and DoD3 is just dumb! lmao bad characters I guess, he's so wacky (except when he's a genius lol)

>>340194967
Rei isn't really accurate because Zero could have pretty notable mood swings.
She's stoic but can get pissed off and will immediately jump from stoic to murderous. And very rarely she's playful.
>>340194862
I'd say the biggest problem with D3 is that it's spread way too thin, between the main story, the DLCs, the mangas, the online stories, etc, a lot of characterization for the characters can be missed if you don't go out and hunt down everything you can.
Makes me think that a lot of the stuff was planned for the game but got cut due to budget issues or something. Still enjoyed the game regardless though.
>>340194329

But don't worry, you don't have to replay the same game 4 times. You'll play in the same maps, but the enemies, dialogue and objectives change.

Five is the cutest and uses the best weapon. She is a miracle.
>>340196140
Dito. Cent's wasn't even a betrayal.
>>340196140
Cent. I was expecting Dito's betrayal since the start of the game because he's scum.
>>340193860
Maybe its gimmick will be 'Nobody Will Die In This Game' just to buck expectations.
>>340196031
>muh horse weiner

Nah m8. Granted, all the disciples are shit.Except for Cent who's slightly better.
>>340193860
I'm worried that Automata is to Nier what DoD2 was to DoD1.
A sequel for the sake of a sequel that misses everything that people liked about the original.
Maybe it won't deal with it at all, maybe it's just Anime Transformers, robots beating up other robots to defend earth and that's all there is to it.
>>340193138
Is it written anywhere why one did what she did to her ?
>>340196508
But, DoD2 was DoD2 because of Taro's absence.
>>340196508
Don't forget that the original Nier was very cleverly disguised as a normal hack n slash. DoD2 was bad/put in the wrong direction because it lacked Taro
>>340196432

>>340196691

>>340196012
In her dlc letters didn't she start to get interested in how to properly rule a country and govern her people?The same cant be said about three and four.
She was actively trying to become a nit shitty person.
>>340195469
No
Because it's prerendered, it always shows donte
>>340196968
No, she wasn't trying to become a less shitty person; she was trying only to make herself happy. You people always misinterpret this shit.
>>340196816
I really like how Octa and Decadus got fleshed out later in the game.
That moment whenZero smiles at Decadus before he sacrifices himself is pure gold.
>>340193860
Maybe it'll be that Happy Endo that Yoko keeps joking about. Maybe it'll finally have a good ending unlike every other game that's at most bitter sweet to terrible for everyone.

Well, usually you don't become happier by making yourself shit.
>>340197430
Haha! Not in a million years.
>>340197713
Fine, I'll get into my prom date outfit instead.
>Zero will never dominate you
why live?
>>340197742
Five is a person who can never be happy period. She buys all the things and tries all the sex but none of it works, so she tries to research what happiness is so she can actually attain it. She learns from philosophy what they believe happiness to be, and so she sets out to try and do good things to attain happiness. She's just blindly doing what she's reading in books in the hopes that she can find happiness at the end. It's not about being a less shitty person or helping other people; it's a solely selfish action motivated by her own unsatisfiable need to be happy.

>Visible pubes
I loved Nier and Drakengard 1 enough to get all endings in both games but I couldn't even get one ending in 3. I basically stopped giving a shit once the old man was introduced.
>>340182681
yeh dawg
dassit
betacuck or no rubbing little pubes on your face is the best feeling currently available in the material realm
>>340198345
I 100%ed it, and I can say that only thing you are missing is the final boss and the weapon stories. At least, until Taro uses DoD3's endings to support the timeline further. Hopefully, he won't use Accord as a some sort of deus ex machina, that'd make me very mad.
Also, I can provide weapon story screenshots from DoD3 if you want any of them. This offer is for all of you anons.
>>340198112
Many many people in real life are just like that.
Personally they may be cunts, but at least they are trying to do the right thing.
>>340198798
he's missing like 50 % of the story too
>>340180491
this reminds me of mavis.swf
if you don't know what that is, you're too young to be on 4chan, no matter how old you are.
>>340198909
Five is an extreme; she can't be happy with ANYTHING.
And she's not trying to do the right thing, she's just trying to make herself happy. Any good she does is largely incidental.
>>340198976
And that's completely fine until Taro uses the story in other titles or side materials. DoD 3's story simply doesn't stand on its own. It needs to be supported by other things in order to. Until then, it's mostly meaningless.
>>340197906
>Zero will never tell you to clean up your front and rear and then peg you all night long
JUST
>>340188006
That fourth one is a pretty big leap.
>>340200601
I reckon losing your mind must be a sudden thing.
>>340200767
Money mean low budget it Taro's case. So far, at least.
>>340199338
Some of Dod3's endings feed into 1 and possibly Nier. Automata may bring in Accord, although we still don't know what she was really all about. But things in this universe seem kind of cyclical. Like the Seeds of Ressurection actually being high technology, or the robots in automata bearing some resembelence to the grotesqueries.
>>340201126
I think Nier managed to do a lot with its budget, DoD1 and 3 show their shortcomings though.
>>340201305
Actually, they don't.In my headcannon the timeline is bullshit and both ending D and B are canon, leading to DoD1
>>340201718
>>340201305
>>340201305Wasn't Accord a time traveling sort of police. To see the many branching paths and steer future humanity to a better cause? But in the end she ended up going off track and picking the best possible life for Zero and the 'sisters'?
>>340201985
What's that land of dragons/etc. about? Some new stuff translated while I was sleeping under a rock?
>>340201305
I think all of the endings have to happen at the same time if they were to lead to Branch E. I don't remember in detail but in example Brother One survives in Ending A while the pacts formed in Ending C.
>>340201657
Yeah, that sounds correct. As long as he manages to make a profit, it's all fine. That's why I am a bit worried about Automata. Platinum and Yoshida's involvement makes me think that the budget is higher than the usual. However, Japs seem to love NieR, it was in the first place in Famitsu's "game of the generation" thing, I believe. Maybe I shouldn't be worried.
>>340202201
Pacts are ending B. Ending C is the chaos ending where everything is terrible and all is fucked.
>>340197906
>she outright said she enjoys femdom
Could she be any more best
>>340201718
I take a view that reality has become so damaged by the gods that things are seeping across dimensions in a way that we cannot comprehend. But we try to understand, because we love the series.I still think the Queen from ending E is Zero from a universe where she was fully corrupted and destroyed her reality, with the Watchers moving her on to the next reality when the circumstances are right to bring her in.
>>340178998
I love you 4chan
>>340202503I believe that Zero from ending D is the Watchers gaining a foothold into the world. Being that they're already transdimensional beings, things like timeline continuity doesn't mean shit to them. Mikhail was able to seal Zero away, but that just left her locked up until DoD1 ending E where her seal is broken and she makes it into reality again.
>>340202193
I have no idea. I only know DoD 1.3 is an alternate timeline of DoD 1 or something like that, Furiae goes full yandere and obtains a dragon, Angelus turns into a filthy human...
>>340202417
Zero seems like the type who'd enjoy anything as long as it felt good for her.
>>340202814
It's pretty hard to keep up with all the extra material, especially when we only have one girl working to translate it all.
>>340201985
>>340201718
Is the "world" in Nier a different "world" from Drakengard, or do the events of Nier just happen 2000 years after Drakengard?
I was under the impression that the Nier games were essentially their own alternate universe where the only direct connection to Drakengard was Drakengard 1 Ending E.
>>340191881
was the Musou genre really developed enough to have a deconstruction of it at the time of D1's release?
>>340202961
Grimoire Nier made it clear that it's an alternate universe. That's another thing that makes the "official" timeline suspect.
>>340187443
it's just fucking nuts
You get so much of it and everything is completely justified.
It's so unique, there's nothing like it.
The gameplay goes from shit to passable, we just play because of how fucking nuts the plot goes.
Also the chracacters are super entertaining, all of them.
>>340203012
They made DoD1 a musou game solely because Dynasty Warriors just came out and they wanted to bring in a wider audience.
>>340202796It could be, Brother One only appears in ending A, he could well exist even after ending D, going on to found the cult of the watchers. The timeline is strange though, society built itself up quickly after being devistated for a decade, although that could have also been Brother One's doing. Still a real shame about Mikhail's ultimate fate. I hold onto the idea that the watchers are space/time beings though. A big part of DoD's intrigue is tat the gods created the world, but humans came into existance without being created by the watchers.
>>340176268
>Glurp. Something warm dribbled from my mouth.
>not semen
four for best girl.
>>340202909
I only know what happens in the first one, the world of Dragons, I don't know anything about the others.
>>340203353
Don't worry, there's plenty of semen in the rest of her life.
>>340202961Nier's world is our own world, corrupted by the remains of the Queen of the grotesqueries from ending E in DoD1. Angelus' remains also exist in this world, which is supposed to be our world. But the watchers also have an infleunce in this world, making contact with humans as they become cursed. Automata's supposed to follow on from this, a war with robots sent from somewhere while humanity has moved to the moon to wait out the war.
>>340177434
everyone in that manga is either edgy, a psychopath, a sociopath, a sick fuck or a degenerate.
i love it.
>>340203286I think Brother One exists in all endings, but he's simply not accounted for outside of A. The reason I believe both D and B are canon is because B bring pacts into existence, which are a key element of DoD1.
>>340203546
I wonder if Emil going to war with the aliens is going to take place before or after Automata.
>>340189340
>So that’s why I made Nier a game revolving around this concept of “being able to kill others if you think you’re right,” or “everyone believes that they’re in the right.”
Shit that's actually an accurate description of Nier's rampage.
>Taro is one of the coolest dudes around
>Has to do interview via sock puppet because he's too shy
