The plot of the original Drakengard is still probably one of the most hosed up I've seen in a game and I wish the actual game was better. I mean your party consists of a pedophile priest, an insane cannibal elf that only eats children and a person that is stuck as a child forever. It's funny that your main character is the most normal one considering he's a psychotic murderer whose sister is in love with him.

It's a shame Drakengard 2 was a wet fart and 3 was, uh, different. At least Nier 2 has a good chance of actually having decent gameplay.

I liked Drakengard 3 despite still not being in the same realm of crazy (and, y'know, it objectively not being a very good game) Still the Grindhouse elements were fun and made it more jarring when the game starts going full Cavia. It helps that I actually liked the main character and the dragon a lot.

The last boss in Drakenguard 3 may be painful to do but has some amazing music. I liked Drakenguard 3, it didn't go as crazy as the first but just did it's own thing.

Yeah, the D3 boss is loving awful but it still is better than the D1 one if only because the song is actually really great. Man, when I played through D3 it was with a friend watching and we were so close to beating it but it was like 2am so we figured we'd just beat it the next time we met up. It's a good thing we delayed it because beating it ended up taking like 3 hours (which from what I've read is considered a relatively fast time)

I think that it should be no surprise that the mainstream is trying to make a more modern Rocky, given the way gender politics is currently exploding. Cox is the only new cast member I'm familiar with, but I think she's a good choice. She's probably the most well-known trans woman who is also an actor, and her presence is a good way for the production to come out the gate and say, "Yes, we are acknowledging that this is a cultural touchstone about the blur between gender lines and sexual orientations." Well maybe, just maybe, instead writing off everybody who thinks it might be bad as idiots who don't even know about the rocky horror show, you should google those cast members you don't know? You're acting like everybody hates Laverne Cox, but that's silly. Its because they think a cheap made-for-tv version of the movie which is directly ripping off Tim Curry's style and not doing their own thing. Laverne Cox is amazing and Orange is the New Black is hugely popular, but the whole point of Rocky Horror is that its a stage show and everybody does their own live take on it, but these guys are just doing a quick cash-in rip off of the famous movie. I dunno dude I just think "You guys are all coming out of the woodwork to freak out! I don't even know who these other cast members are...." seems a little out of it. I myself was super excited when I heard Laverne Cox, but then I looked into it further and lost that excitement. FactsAreUseless posted:I like all the actors that are going to be in the new Ghostbusters, especially Kate McKinnon and Kristen Wiig, and Bridesmaids and Spy were both good. So I think it should be good, but it might just be a waste of a good director and actors. I really want it to be good, I like Kate McKinnon a lot, but the trailers really made it seem like just another quick cash-in SNL movie that won't actually be very funny. The internet is definitely over-reacting though, for all we know that was just a badly cut trailer that's getting everybody up in arms. Trailers aren't even made by the director these days, they're done by external marketing teams that just get a little bit of footage and make up whatever they think will sell the film, so it could end up having a vastly different tone.

Yeah the D1 final boss is 1000 times worse compared to D3s. I just had problems at the last section where the beat skip threw me off. My god though I'm actually glad I did it and didn't just resign and look up a youtube for the ending. Fun fact: Drakengard 3 ending A doesn't even lead into the first game despite being a prequel, it just fucks off and creates Drakengard 1.3 starring horrible elves and characters that seem even worse off then before. Ending D will probably come crashing into Nier 2 with hilarious/sexy results. The actual lead back into the first game is a Novel which acts as a branch E.

I myself was super excited when I heard Laverne Cox, but then I looked into it further and lost that excitement. That's valid. I'm a person who thrives on novelty, though, so my reaction to these things is usually somewhere along the lines of "Shine on, thing! I hope you end up being at least watchable!" Admittedly I probably spend way too much stress about how other people react to these things, and how that seemingly reflects on me as a person who is tangentially related to them by being invested in the conversation. I guess maybe that makes me the fake fan  . I'm just kind of happy that somebody is still engaging with these things that I like; there's no reason that they have to remain static forever, or otherwise be enshrined. If anything, I'm disappointed that modern copyright law ensures that none of these franchises will ever become public domain. There will never be a weirdo b-movie director in the year 2050 who gets to crank out "GHOSTBUSTERS VS DRACULA IN MARVELOUS 4-D", starring an aged, attention-starved Justin Bieber and like 24 mannequins.

Yeah that's fair. I also wish public domain was stronger and we had more people able to do wacky poo poo, and I don't mind the remake just existing so much I just think it looks bad; if it ends up being good somehow that'd be great. I also wish we'd get more original stories (or at least copies of Shakespeare with the guise of being original) as opposed to re-make after re-make.

The Kins posted:If I had to guess, this might have been done - at least in part - as a test of the new studio's technology (what it may be... they don't have FOX anymore) and workflow. Remember: The original demo shots of the FOX Engine didn't have any obviously Metal Gear stuff in it. Hmm, the 1/3 made me think it was a scale model that was fabricated in real life, and not a rendering. Like you would walk past it entering Kojima Offices.

I recognize that you responding to "troglodyte" is probably just like when a dog's ears perk up at its name, but not everyone is talking about you, the Games chat thread, or Something Awful. Sometimes people are looking for commiseration and not a street fight. Re: Curry and actors being saddled by imitations, I actually hope that doesn't gently caress up a good adaptation of It.

I thought drakengard 3's last boss was way harder than 1's. For the last run in d1 you could just write down the sequence and mash it out as fast as possible, d3 requires you to land everything on beat for like 8 solid minutes. Like people call it a rhythm game but it was more like 2 button Simon Says lets hang out fucked around with this message at 15:49 on May 18, 2016 |

setafd posted:I liked Origins better than Knight fwm I thought the lightning gloves added a good amount to the battle system and I enjoyed that they added in a new enemy type. I feel like the Arkham engine always limited what types of enemies they could throw at you, but Origins did feel like they had the most variety of threats they could present in any one situation. Origins was much too similar to City in too many ways; I liked the Joker's role in it, but otherwise I feel like City had the more passion and heart behind it. City they clearly wanted to make "The Ultimate Batman Game" with a crazy twist ending that really shook things up in a fun way. To that aim, they succeeded.

I loved Arkham City so much. I understand people have a lot of attachment to the metroidvania gameplay of Asylum but City was the game that really felt like Batman to me. Maybe it's a side-effect of growing up with The Animated Series but I always felt Batman without Gotham City was only half the equation.

I couldn't really get into any of them except Asylum, but I think by the time I played Arkham City (not anywhere close to when it came out), I was already starting to tire of "open world with a bunch of repeated mini-missions on the map" games so that might've soured my experience of it somewhat.
