Idk what it is but that whole final sequence, bullshit and all, is a complete unironic work of art to me The final part is one of the craziest things I've ever experienced in a game. Spoilers for Drakengard 3 Getting to the ending of a nearly 7 minute long rhythm game just to gently caress up a button press that occurs during the loving black screen with no prompt is something that I had occur several times. Nothing ever made me work harder in a game before that and it made the fallout hurt that much more being so filled with adreneline as it all falls apart. It's a lot more effective to me because unlike the original game it just, has a human element and some tragedy I can care about whereas D1 is just kind of a slap in the face and pointless nihilism it seemed. Oh yeah Drakengard 3 also produced two of my favourite songs ever. The final sequence and This Silence is Mine are amazing compositions. I cannot ever get the vocals out of my head whenever I hear the game mentioned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SAC4KWQg2s

Idk what it is but that whole final sequence, bullshit and all, is a complete unironic work of art to me It's definitely one of the most memorable moments of the Drakenier games, up there with ending E of Automata. The bullshit is an inseparable part of what makes it what it is.

Got through the A route and finished all sidequests and most upgrade grinding (just need a ton of Titanium Alloys, Large Gears, Fluorite, Damascus Steel and Memory Alloys). I'm already loving Route B but I'm a little sad that I'm not playing as Kaine, just hearing the dialog between her and her shade and also seeing her memories The end of Part A was very  and I have so many questions but I imagine they'll get answered in time.edit: gently caress forlorn necklaces axeil fucked around with this message at 07:24 on May 2, 2021 |

I actually kinda liked Drakengard 2's idea of trying to rehabilitate Manah from her awful cultist indoctrination. Her character design was pretty cool too. I feel like if it had been made with Yoko Taro's current sensibilities, she could have been the protagonist. For Nier Replicant remake: Just a Yes or No please, but does the remake incorporate any online functionalities into the new content like Automata did? I've been having trouble connecting my PS4 to the internet so I'd like to know in advance if I might miss out on anything.

Currently missing out on 3% of the quests and it's driving me a little crazy because the only quests left are the ones Devola refuses to tell me about I know I haven't done the one with the shade in the village, but I also can't get that one to spawn, but I have a sneaking suspicion there's one more as well. I just can't find them. (it's not shadows in the desert or the sidequests in Emil's mansion, either, I already did those.)

The last two I did before hitting 100% were ones Devola never told me about - one I got from the king of facade (that tough one a goon was struggling with a page ago) and the other some random dork in forest of myth

I've been trying to garden on the PS4, and I'm aware that adjusting the system clock as normal doesn't work for some godforsaken reason. So I've been trying adjusting the timezone from -11:00 to +13:00, like everyone said, and that makes the flowers bloom, but not die. Can I not go any further than this without just waiting irl? I've followed every guide I can find and tried manipulating both the clock and timezone, and I can't get past the flowering phase no matter what.

I've followed every guide I can find and tried manipulating both the clock and timezone, and I can't get past the flowering phase no matter what. That said, given that you can see what color they are when they bloom, you can essentially save-scum to ensure you get a hybrid every day. (IE: plant at -11, check them at +13, close without saving, switch back to -11, and tear up/replant any seeds that didn't crossbreed - the color is set the instant you put the seed in the ground) Slightly tedious, yes, but it's not like you weren't going to be playing it for multiple days in a row anyways, right?

beep by grandpa posted:Something I noticed in my many runs through Shadowlord castle is in the second battle with Devola and Popola, during the first phase of the fight against Delova, Popola just stands around in the background for a while and eventually starts powering up Devola by doing some really cool dance numbers in the back. I really enjoyed watching her dancing - she has a ton of different moves! And I think the start of her dancing may be timed to only start with the vocal tracks kick in to the fight, but I'd need to go back and try it again. Really cool! This rules so much and on my recent run I basically took the fight as slow as possible to see how many different moves she goes through

Drakengard 2 does get pretty weird later on but in a more conventional way, the biggest problem is you have to play through the whole game multiple times to get the rest of the story, unlike 1&3 where you just did the different stages once you unlocked them. Also there's no stage select which sucks if you want all the weapons.

I know the improved Nier Replicant is right there, but Drakengard 3 is my favorite entry in the series, warts and all. It runs and looks bad but anyone who likes Yoko Taro's writing owes it to themselves to experience Zero and Mikhail's relationship.

Drakengard 2 is the worst game I've ever finished (the main story, once, there's no way I'd do the rest). Don't let anyone convince you there's anything decent to be found there other then like one cutscene you can watch on youtube. Late game it has some pretty cool designed enemies, but these were later outdone entirely by later games, so there's no reason to go back to this one.

I just cracked myself up thinking about the 2 dozen Mutton, Venison, 99 screws, 99 bolts and other misc items my dude has been weirdly carrying around in his pockets for 5 years and imagining (Full ending D spoilers) everything just hitting the floor like a dead character dropping all their loot in Minecraft the second he saves Kaine

Gutcruncher posted:Drakengard 3 is the only PS3 game I have where they decided to use the PS4 blue color scheme on the boxart. Is that just Yoko Taro being a master troll? That was the standard packaging for late ps3 games for a bit, though looking up P5 PS3 it looks like it reverted even later so it's a bit of Sony America weirdness there.

I'm guessing the shipwreck thing is the new content people have mentioned? It was cool bit sort of odd - the boss and the narrative surrounding it felt like something that would come at the culmination of a long story, but the whole thing lasted 25 minutes tops.

Okay, so I'm crazy and I'm embarking on the quest to actually get the Lunar Tear. I know all about what/how to crossbreed stuff, but I was wondering if it's okay to replant stuff as soon as you see the flowers bloom? Like right now I've planted alternating gold and red flowers and the one on the very end came up peach. Can I just discard the other four patches and replant them for another shot at cross pollination, or should I be waiting until all of them have withered and produced seeds first?

You can if you want, if you’re going to min-max planting make sure you replace each plant as you go rather than ripping them all up then planting the new ones because apparently it’ll roll for the crossbreed immediately when it goes in the ground, so having the other colours still there to be picked up increases the odds straight away.

The very last weapon doesn't count for 100%, you do need all the original DLC weapons and the ending B one though.
