Oh man, I'm psyched for this one. I 100%ed the original Drakengard long before I knew about the LP forum, and it's definitely left a mark on my mind. I don't think I can stand to play this one, but I need to see how it goes.

I think the official Angel of Death is Azrael. At least in Islam.

Genocyber posted:Don't get why people say this game is bad. Story-wise it's obviously not, and gameplay-wise its mediocre to decent, and fun to play despite the flaws. Honestly? No, I'd contend it is pretty bad in both those ways. Trying to talk about it would make this thread look like a CIA document though.  I think one of the things that I dislike the most about it is the game sheepishly admits things like the camera and level design is completely awful but shuffles on anyways because they don't really know how to make it better.

Trying to put a Cavia story into "good" or "bad" is kind of missing the point. Cavia stories are not so much about being good or not, its about holy poo poo this was a thing that was made and no one stopped them and they sold it and we bought it.

Yeah Azrael is the Angel of Death in Islam, Hebrew and Sihk mythology, but in Catholic mythology Azrael does not exist so the title tends to fall to Uriel instead. There's some apocrypha which involves a dude called either Azra or Ezra who gets visited by Uriel and ends up becoming the Angel of Punishment and that's all the showing Azrael gets in the Catholic bible.

Michael sounds cooler to a Japanese person than it does to us. It's why Terra from FF6 was named Tina.

Additional fun Azrael facts: he's gigantic. So tall that if all the waters of the earth were to be poured on his head, not one drop would strike the ground. He has seventy thousand feet, which span the heavens. And his primary job is retrieving the souls of prophets.

My favorite depiction of Azrael in fiction is the Old High One Azrael in the Discworld, also known as the Death of Universes  and he is described as being so unbelievably gargantuan that he may in fact be the Universe itself.It's a real pity Azrael got left out of the Catholic Bible, he's one of the more interesting Angels and he tends not to show up in Western works very often as a result of his absence in the Catholic Bible which is sad.

I'd like someone to keep track of how many times "______ is lovin this poo poo" is mentioned in this thread. Might as well start keeping track now while we're still early on into things. I kinda need to finish this game, but the non-story elements demand I complete them even I know I shouldn't. I plat'd NIER, it shouldn't be that demanding...I just don't have the heart for it.

Zero looks like she should be advertising a F2P iPhone game, and I am already mentally replacing 'Intoner' with 'Vocaloid.' Game's off to a fine start! This isn't the future I would have wished for you, Id, but I'm glad you're doing it.

How bad would you guys say the frame-rate is? Cause I might wanna play this despite it probably being a bad idea. I'm afraid I might love it.

Typically hovers somewhere around 20-ish. Anytime Michael is on-screen or you have a bunch of dudes trying to attack you, or...really, just about anything more demanding than Zero going to town on a few dudes, you're looking at slideshow city.

Playing this game right now, still going to be following the thread. Also, I'm another who unironically enjoys the gameplay.FauxGateau posted:How bad would you guys say the frame-rate is? Cause I might wanna play this despite it probably being a bad idea. I'm afraid I might love it. As other people said it varies. I've had the game be really good for most of a level, then poo poo itself when magic poo poo starts happening. I've also had the framerate dip to single digits when nothing's going on on screen.

In the old Hebrew/Aramaic/what have you, 'Mik-ha-el' means 'who is like God'. Still agree with the others who argue that a more esoteric archangel name would've suited. My vote is for Uriel, personally.
