I must've spent a good hour trying to get that one chest in the Forest Kingdom and don't even act like you don't know exactly which one I'm talking about.

That and the flooded city are probably the two hardest jumps in the game. There's a level of precision required which really isn't necessary anywhere else.

Single jumps and gliding with a double jump if you're going too low are the key. The ledge grab actually has very lenient range

Get combat bracers and jump punch your way to victory. Also you can hit R1 + X to do a long jump in the air, if anyone didn't know about that

Also, if you leave the ground without jumping you can do two jumps in the air, and on the first jump you can also do a launcher to reset your air combo and get some extra height.

so when did Yoko Taro actually become like, "a thing", did Drakengard actually get a cult fanbase based on the insane protaginist, or was it after everyone seemed to like the writing in Nier (since Drakengard 2 only peripherally involved Yoko)

Nier just confirmed that there was a definite method to the madness.

I didn't become aware of the series til I picked up and loved Nier on a whim after it came out. I can't remember what motivated me to get it except that it was 20 bucks at the time, but I think I had read about it on these very forums. Outside of that nobody I talked to seemed to have heard of it outside of a strong cult following, and then when Platinum got on board everyone went apeshit.

I picked this up for PC and I should probably get a controller. I got past the intro boss but used up every single recovery fighting it. gently caress that guy and his sawblade arms. I wish there was a dedicated evade button instead of having to double-tap my movement keys.

Alain Post posted:so when did Yoko Taro actually become like, "a thing", did Drakengard actually get a cult fanbase based on the insane protaginist, or was it after everyone seemed to like the writing in Nier (since Drakengard 2 only peripherally involved Yoko) Yoko Taro became a thing when the zeitgeist caught up with him. Yoko Taro thought about how most video games are about committing mass murder but bizarrely their protagonists just act like regular normal people. In 2003, he released Drakengard, which is the story of an enormous bloodbath and the mass murderer who revels in it. In 2012, Spec Ops: The Line did a similar thing and people praised it for its amazing story. In 2010, Yoko Taro made Nier, a game about an apocalypse that turned people into really unusual zombies and the morally ambiguous dad who had to live in that dying world with his daughter. In 2013, The Last of Us did a similar thing and people praised it for its amazing story. The gaps seem to be getting shorter so I look forward to a game being released later this year that wins all the awards for its amazing story about androids and robots fighting over a dead Earth in the distant future.

So uh... quick question. Apologies if this has been brought up before. But I failed the Family Squabbles quest. It marks it with a red X and everything. Do I have to reload my save from like an hour or so ago and redo this? That's kinda annoying. It's not my fault the game locked on to a drat boar which promptly murdered the ever-loving poo poo out of the robo-child! It like instantly killed him. Jesus

I have a quest marker way out in the desert I can't get to. I hit a windstorm and can't move closer to it. What's the deal? Trying to knock out some side quests before going down in the hole.

Games like Drakengard are practically the reason for LPs to exist: a game that's absolutely weird as poo poo but is about as fun to play as sticking your tongue to a flagpole.

Romes128 posted:there's literally an evade button though? is there not a keyboard binding for it? Nope. I was genuinely dumbfounded that there wasn't even an option to bind it; it's double tap or bust. The game fortunately plays just great using a controller, but geeze what a weird decision.

It's permanently bound to your move keys to dodge in whichever direction the key is for. Do not play this game with mouse/keyboard. Yeah, it's a kinda easy game so it's surely possible, but you are gonna have so much less fun.
