 : Alright kid, you're coming up on the final act of these events in this world of rip-and-tear we call home. I want to see your biggest, baddest kill face. : Oh, okay. You mean like... this? : Holy poo poo kid, no. Just... just no. You know, between that and insisting everyone call you 'Nines' I'm starting to understand why this world has gone to bigger, worse poo poo since I cacked it. Look, let me just show you how it's done, then you try, alright? ...Alright?: First, you gotta just kinda... picture the whole loving world drowning in blood. Everyone who's ever pissed you off, egged you on, or whatever. Now picture all those people strung up by their feet, their throats cut, bleeding out like butchered farm animals for meat. And finally - it's you. You did it. You killed all those loving people and everything that's ever pissed you off is dead. Only, the killing isn't done yet. It's never done. So you just get all those feelings up and... : WHAT THE gently caress. Holy loving poo poo that's terrifying! I don't think I can do that!: Sure you can, kid, sure you can. Here, let me just get this blindfold off you and....jpg) : Not bad, kid. Not bad. Now you're ready to face the world going to hell. You could do with less whining, though.

And so, 9S won the greatest prize of all. Oblivion! Because his futile existence had no meaning.

I have to admit, the 'it can't get any worse'/'you haven't seen anything yet' dance is getting a bit tiresome. It's also getting a bit worrisome, no pun intended. I mean, at some point, if things don't stop getting worse, it goes from 'wow, Yoko Taro knows how to wring every last drop of tragedy out of a story' to 'wow, Yoko Taro knows how to write a story that only a psychopath could read without becoming suicidally depressed'. I'm not expecting any variety of happy ending at this point, but I hope the 'true' ending doesn't wind up being 'you know how in Nier you had to erase the protagonist from existence? You're going to have to go a bit further this time.'

This is a fair criticism to make when the game is viewed under the LP lens. Each bad occurrence is spaced out, giving people time to process and mull over each one, so the trauma conga feels a lot more drawn out. In-game though, it doesn't feel like that because poo poo is happening so fast. Even if you take your time to finish up side stuff, it's still done at your own pace instead of the pace at which the LP creator posts, so things don't feel forced on you, if that makes sense. And yeah, goons exacerbate things, which is part of the fun of the thread but obviously wouldn't be a factor when playing the game.

Every Nier ending was basically just an extension of the previous one, honestly. The only ones that were markedly different were the choice that led to C or D.

All endings are canon in DrakeNier, even dying by mackerel or going to fish instead of saving your friends. Or taking out your own OS chip. Why do you think Accords are so busy sealing timelines all over the place? Ah, a message from the Accord Network: "make all efforts to keep Nowe's from ever being born. Such branches in which he exists must be sealed immediatley" (what, you thought we were trying to fight the Watchers all this time?) This content has been deemed inappropriate for pretty much everyone. Please stand by.

This is a strange gimmick you have but the core message is basically right. All of the endings are canon and Yoko Taro's on record as saying he considers anything you consider an ending personally to be as valid as any other.

I’m honestly glad YTs games have less nonsense these days. There’s no suddenly-space-babies or horrible dragomageddons, all the twists and terrible things are much more in-universe with better buildup and suspense. It feels less like he’s trying to differentiate his stories (which he was) and more like this is just the way he likes to tell his stories.

I agree with your sentiment, although honestly I don't think the space babies were out of place in Drakengard 1. That game was full of horror and insanity from the very beginning, and it only got worse as the game progressed. The endings before that one were already pretty eldritch and terrifying. It worked well within the context of that game, although I agree that one game of that sort of stuff was enough.

All the elements were there in the story before - music-magic, the flower, the sisters - so in the weird Yoko Taro world it was almost logical. Giant flying cannibal space babies were not.

Bit of a tangent, but as someone who never got to personally experience the final boss of Drakengard 1, I devised a way to (more or less) attempt it. Why would I want to do this, you ask? Because it's a problem when morbid curiosity combines with masochistic gaming tendencies. Anyway: 1. Open up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OPW-RdzStA&t=137s 2. Move the video to one side of your screen. 3. Open up notepad and enter the line wwwweeeeweweweeeewewewewwwweweweewwwwweweweeewwwwwewewewwewe wewwwwweewweewweewewewewewweewwwewwwewwwwwewwwwweeweeweweweweeweewewewewewwweeewewewweeewwwewewewwe Remove the line break. It should all be on one line. 'w' represents the white notes, 'e' represents the black notes (I wanted my two fingers next to each other so that's what I went with) 4. Move your notepad file to the other side of the screen so it doesn't cover the youtube video. 5. Play the video, click on a blank line in notepad right below the long-rear end one I posted above, and attempt to match your typing with the notes of the boss. 6. If you manage to 'beat' the final boss, the line you typed should exactly match the aforementioned line. Congrats! Apologies if I messed up the notes in the line, I created it by closely examining the youtube video of the fight a bunch of times, but for all I know I missed one or two.

I spent a solid week throwing myself at Drakengard 3's final boss with no luck, it was soul-crushing. The worst part was how getting better at it only made each loss even more painful, making it to Zero only to gently caress up immediately was like a mild-mannered japanese man holding a sock puppet kicked me in the balls.

Are you talking about the rhythm game boss? That boss was a huge dick move since you had to be super awesome at rhythm games to even stand a chance, especially given that it was several minutes long and one mistake meant starting over from the beginning. The absolute biggest dick move is that the final beat comes waaaaaaaaaaaaay after the rest, when it looks like the fight is over, right as the screen has almost faded completely to black. You'd have already set your controller down long before then. Think you've won? Haha, gently caress you; you gotta start over. I'm awful at rhythm games so I had to cheese it by following along with a YouTube guide and even then it was rough. That little bit of bullshit was the last trophy I needed and I wasn't about to let it stand in the way of my plat. I got all the other trophies because despite the jankiness it's actually a pretty fun game. Ah, Yoko Taro.

How strict is the timing on the button presses in the Drakengard 3 boss? I haven't attempted it but overall it looks significantly easier than D1's outside of the last two notes being blatantly unfair because they break the previously established rhythm. I'm pretty good at rhythm games though.

I'm pretty good at rhythm games though. pretty strict. d1 didn't require you to be in rhythm at all, you could just mash it out as quickly as you wanted. just memorizing a 20 second pattern is a lot easier than memorizing an 8 minute one and then playing it back in time while the framerate is buckling and sometimes your inputs are delayed because d3 is not well made lets hang out fucked around with this message at 09:33 on Dec 16, 2017 |

The Final Song is awesome though, one of my favorite game music ever without hesitation ♥ It just happens to come along with the trauma of that one boss...But its a great song and the "fight" is beautiful (the Flower, the Sisters and their animation when they appear, the ruins of Tokyo in the background). "NieR:3 Murder on the Dancefloor". We'll fight whatever the hell Yoko Taro will throw at us through hellish dancing rhythm game making no sense, with silent notes, blind cameras and of course bullet hell to dodge. And the final boss will be a good old jrpg fight with artifical difficulty because "you thought that'd be the easiest part? HAH!" - Yoko Taro. Er- I think I got carried away a little, pray forgive me and continue. I'll be right over there. This content has been deemed inappropriate for pretty much everyone. Please stand by.

It is funny to see people to this day rage that the final boss of a hack and slash action game is a super difficult hardcore 8 minute long rhythm game with no checkpoints, required super precise timing, and an unskippable 30 second cutscene at the beginning, and I'm sure that's exactly the reaction Yoko was going for.
