This worth playing?

The controls aren't that bad, the flying sections are bad because there are a million fucking enemies

I prefer the second drakengard, Yoko Taro's best game.

yes

Certainly not for the gameplay. But the batshit insane story and characters are fun.

A drag on dragoon some might say.

Getting the E ending is incredibly grindy, but the plot was so batshit that you wanted to know how it ended. I don’t know what your expectations are going in, but they shouldn’t be that high and the ending is cuhhhhrayyyyzeeee

is this copypasta? I've read this before.

>The game is not fun to play, its a drag to put it mildly. But its like that on purpose, to deliver a strong experience.
Intentionally designing a game to be boring is the worst idea ever.

I'm a fan of Drakengard, but I think it's bullshit to say that the gameplay was intentionally bad.

Spent weeks reading thst years ago.
Shame to hear that about the guy; his writing was enjoyable.

I actually unironically had a lot of fun with Drakengard. The only real problems I had with it are those fucking enemies that can't be hurt by magic (aka the one thing that adds a bit of variety to combat) and Ending E being a pain in the ass to get.
People who say it's a mediocre musou clone aren't really wrong, but the absolute batshit story, bonkers soundtrack, and voice acting that sounds like everyone's lost their fucking marbles are enough to overcome it. Drakengard 2 has slightly better gameplay but the generic JRPG story does no favors for it.
If you can't get into it check out an LP, but you should at least give it a shot.

Shit really? Poor guy.

>I'm a fan of Drakengard, but I think it's bullshit to say that the gameplay was intentionally bad.
Same.
The only games I can think of that have intentionally bad gameplay are stuff like Pathologic and Turgor/The Void and even then, its less that its bad, but more that it is intentionally designed to stress you out.

Honestly the only thing bad about the ground controls is the camera being kind of weird, you sort of have control but not really. The flight combat is kind of ass tho.

massacring hundreds is fun
aerial bosses are fun
the batshit story is fun
the music is great

don't listen to fags telling you to watch a LP like a fucking gen Z faggot, just play it it's about 20 hours long

Disregard ending A, you can totally tell it was tacked on so there could be a sequel and ending B is what A should have been

But that was a comedy though

Yes. Play it.

I don't know, without ending A, we would've never gotten Angelus and Caim in love. Which is very unconventional, yet strangely romantic in their own way.

I think Ending A is good simply because it's so simple. It's the closest thing that the game has to a happy ending, making it all the more unexpected and interesting when every other ending goes straight to Hell by comparison.

It's one of the only games I can think of where the first and easiest to get ending is the basic happy ending.

Yes. Do NOT watch an LP. Playing this game is absolutely essential

Yeah I don't think they were TRYING to make the game bad. Hell I don't even think it's all that bad. Though I do think unintentionally the gameplay adds a lot to the experience, by the time you beat a level you're kind of numb from pumping out the same combo and the droning music then bam, you get smacked with some utter insanity.

The ideal way to play Drakengard is at 1 in the morning after a tiring day, with nothing but the soft glow of a CRT lighting the room and sound turned down a bit.

I'd recommend giving the game a go if your're interested but I straight up don't think it's worth it to bother doing all the weapon collecting just to get Ending E. That shit probably made the game twice as long as it needed to be.

>The music is terrible
Bouta fuck you up son youtu.be/A1gVwUDz0Ts

It's worth a try for the trippy OST alone

Play it, enjoy it. If you can't stand repetitive games that don't constantly go bing bang wahoo to reward your hunger for bright shiny lights, you have no fucking business posting here. It also has one of the best videogame soundtracks to ever exist because it actually serves an artistic purpose and is meant to convey and evoke things. Anyone that keeps repeatedly spouting that Draknegard is a terrible game hasn't actually played terrible games. It's decidedly mediocre when it comes to gameplay, but shines when it comes to atmosphere, plot and overall presentation.

I'd say it's worth it. It's one of the best endings in video games period IMO. I'd never advise to watch the game, the combination of bad but functional gameplay, jarring atmospheric OST and unpredictable plot really created this strange dissonant feeling in me thas never been replicated by another game. If you are looking for pure quality you won't find it here but what you will get is an interesting experience and personally I value a game being interesting over sheer quality.

Use this instead.

I still really like this one.

Not really unless you want to understand true suffering like I do.

The game is not supposed to be BORING, its supposed to be REPETITIVE, because the protagonist is a sociopath who enjoys gutting people in the battlefield. The music of the game shows that, as it is looped as fuck.
It ends up boring because the game is a Musou. Those are repetitive by nature. And its a PS2 Musou, with the awkward controls you might expect from an early PS2 title. Musous from the PS2 era did not age well, and i would qualify it as an acquired taste.

I myself played several hundreds of hours of Samurai Warriors 2 on the PS2, so Drakengard wasnt that bad for me. If by any chance you also enjou musous, Drakengard 1 isnt nearly as bad as people say.

Going for Ending E is totally worth it, its the climax of the game.
I do STRONGLY recommend to get a Weapon Walkthrough with yourself so you get all weapons as quickly as possible, without having to replay much of the game.

The only other game that's really given me the same dissonant feeling is Killer7.

>tfw this guy actually worked for a pmc and apparently killed a child
Kind of makes this lp really awkward.

No, it's a horrible game. The entire Drakengard series is awful. Some people will tell you they have good plots, but those are garbage too. They are legit some of the worst games ever created and I genuinely do not understand how it got 2 sequels. At least it got us Nier which is decent.

These threads convinced me to try the game and I discovered that it was fucking awful. If you want any progress you'll be grinding the first stage over and over again to level up your weapons. So you'll be listening to a 15 second discordant loop for 30 min at a time. Just for a couple cutscenes and in-game dialog? Pass.

Don't think there exists another game perhaps besides Silent Hill whose music was successful at really conveying just how fucked things going on were.

You haven't played many games then.

And this game only really becomes a clusterfuck in the final two routes of the game.

Should have listened to all the people saying the faggots in Drakengard threads are all lobotomy patients. No one with a functioning brain likes these games. Fuck, I doubt Yoko Taro himself thinks this shit is good.

Oh yeah, 100% used a guide to collect weapons, you will not get them all blind in a million years
Agreed I didn't think of Killer7 while writing my post, i'd stretch to include The Silver Case and FSR as well

I love how it's just chaotic and annoying for the first chapters but gets increasingly creepier the closer you get to the ending. And finally it reaches it's climax and the chaos chapter the baby apocalypse one has the creepiest most clusterfuck music ever recorded for a video game.

I really don't understand why people push for lets plays so much if a game looks interesting then play it why is that so hard for this board it's a simple musou with an interesting story is that too far from gacha games your used to

Everything about Drakengard is just wrong. It's easily one of the worst games I've ever played. But as much as I want to put the controller down, I can't because I want to see how worse the story can get.

Most here seem to suffer from ADHD, unless the game goes out of its way to keep their attention, they won't be able to complete it. Setting personal goals is also an inconceivable notion apparently.

It's a good game if it makes you want to keep playing it, just because it can make you upset or uncomfortable doesn't mean it's bad, on the contrary.

Nah, the game is pretty bad.
