I don't play western games but you're a fag op. I heard good things about Mass effect and uncharted and the last of us.

Because westerners can't make good music.

lol

Lol

post something better than drakengard 3 ost, i dare you.

...

>mfw Drakengard 3 intrigues me
>story looks interesting, even if edgelord
>that fucking OST (except for that one with the extremely painful engrish)
>that fucking DLC OST
>framerate and gameplay is apparently ass
Why?

>framerate and gameplay is apparently ass
The gameplay's not ass, its mediocre at worst. I enjoyed it, at least. And the framerate seems to vary from PS3 to PS3 - some people get absolutely horrid framerates while others just get mild slowdown when there's a lot of explosions.

How did Yoko get away with the final song segment?

SH4 soundtrack is perfect.
Too bad the best tracks weren't even in the game.

Proving his point there.

I'm not so I'm fine with that.

Europeans used to make good music
in the 1500s

Did they fix the abysmal framerate? It would've been a competent action game if it wasn't for the 5fps gameplay

Once you get the hang of the blocking it actually feels pretty good, I'm not going to deny it isnt more that mediocre at best and the framerate can drop to shit tier.

But I loved the game, just make sure you have the jap audio if you understand a bit of Jap. The english dub failed to capture her character correctly and instead made her act like she was constipated for the whole game.

I've always wondered about the "varying" thing.

I get like literally 1 FPS versus the cats in Dark Souls because of their hair physics. Another instance of hair physics fucking up and dropping FPS is in Yakuza Dead Souls.

Anyone else?

nier was mediocre at best

>NieR soundtrack
>not phenomenal
I will fight you.

It was not Drakengard

>mfw west has banned good character designs because muh triggered self-centered whores

You'd have to be an extreme contrarian to claim Drakengard's ost was better.

is the drakengard universe connected with the nier universe.

Yes.
Nier is the direct sequel/continuation to Drakengard's D ending.

Yes. In fact, Caim may or may not have led the forces that caused the apocalypse in Nier.

Sorta.

Androids from Nier time travel into Drakengard 3 to observe the multiple timelines to prevent the ending of Nier

There's a timeline map somewhere but there are two versions of Drakengard due to the events from Nier + Drakengard 3. Drakengard 1 is actually Drakengard 1 and Drakengard 1.3

The game isn't even as beautiful and emotional as the previous entries. It's inferior to its predecessors in every way.

Seems like the kind of game series I would like. Obscure weird ass dark plot and good aesthetics. But is the gameplay any good?

that's pretty cool, thanks for the answer.

Giving this guy some much needed exposure

>this is good character design to weebs


wow

Not really. Feels like a low budget hack and slash in all the games.

Atmosphere, music, plot, weirdness, and tragedy carry the games really well though. Partly the reason why Drakengard 2 was badly received was because it had a happier ending than Drakengard 1.

Also really cool to see a game with a child molester, baby eating elf, and racist priest become your colleagues. The games are pretty grimdark if not edgy.

...

KUUUUUUUROOOOOOOI HAAAAAAAANAAAAAA

RIP papa nier

>20 minute 2 part episodes on every drakengard game

Are you gonna tell me that you dont ejaculated hearing that?

>I only listen to videogame music

It is.

>Muh man-like women are such strong role models!

All you're doing is admitting male traits are superior to female traits, you tumblrina.

>humanity goes extinct

but what about that human colony on moon ?

>this projecting
Animefags are so retarded

Nigga, Drakengard's ost was terrible. On purpose, but it's still terrible.

It's so repetitive it's practically unenjoyable on its own.

I.Hear.A.Sound

Can't wait to see how Kaine and Zero's flowers are connected in Automata. Accord mentioned it probably wouldn't be the last she saw of Zero, and Taro specifically mentioned it in an interview.

Guessing Accord was just the first model among the ones that A2 and 2B are from.

All of the other songs that I wanted to link are gone off the youtubes so I can only link this way.

You take that back. it's a masterpiece.

kaine flower is a pretty and rare specie, zero flower is a fucking eldritch abomination that want to destroy the world.
Not sure how they will be connected

>Whining about projection while projecting
westerncucks are predictable as fuck.

>Listening to Pitbull, Miley Cyrus or Justin Bieber

Kek

>these are the only bands that exist

You could have had a compelling arguement if it wasn't so shitty

Your fedora is showing. There is a huge library of music and you chose some of the most mediocre shit.

But user, I listen to public radio.

The story of Kaine's flower that Yonah talks about matches Zero's, even if it's extremely sugar-coated.

>this is the only modern music

YOU DUMBASS

>tch I totally predicted it
I'm sure you did, Sasuke.

>emotional
The only emotion in Drakengard is soul-crushing depression.

Checked this guy out after HyperBitHero recommended him, he's fucking great.

anyone who likes taro is a friend of mine

i dont remember it, can you link me to the story?

The highest form of literary art is tragedy

It's a cacophony of sounds. It's not enjoyable, it's not meant to, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a chore to listen to.

Fuck you, good sir.

Says who?

You really want that last reply, don't you?

What if in automata we get to fight queen beasts?
Make it a hype Bayonetta final boss moment

>good sir.

Some famous important history guy, I don't remember which one sorry.

>tfw not a console friend since the 6th gen
>Will never get Taro's masterpiece

;_;

I forgot how perfect she is

...

>mfw going into Nier expecting a shit game with a good story after hearing stuff for years
>mfw it's not even CLOSE to as bad as some of the shit we all had the misfortune of renting in years past

Nier is a good game, with above average gameplay even.

Fuck

Dismantle

Marry

>Nier is a good game, with above average gameplay even.
Let's not overexaggerate here. It might not be as bad as people claim but it is thoroughly average.

That's how I felt with D3 and Nier when I first played them. I thought D1 would be the same.

Holy fuck was I wrong

Marry, fuck, dismantle

I remember finding D1 in Gamestop for 2 dollars and trying it out.

This was a time when I was very bored, and I couldn't bring myself to get very far.

Had that weird desolate vibe that I found in a lot of games from that era, where everything feels very unreal.

Kind of like Lost Kingdoms.

Should I D3 if I can't into D1, but love Nier?

The majority of people who say Drakengard 3 was amazing are faggots who never actually played the game but watched the DEMO_D review and thought it was hip and cool to like it even though the gameplay is garbage, looks like shit, runs like shit and requires you to beat the game like 3 times to get a worthwhile ending. The only good thing about Drakengard 3 is the music is pretty god tier and Zero is cute.

>picks some obscure shit I've never heard of to tell me what I like because he has a very limited world view and thinks everyone follows the same shit as he does

wew

>Had that weird desolate vibe that I found in a lot of games from that era, where everything feels very unreal.
>Kind of like Lost Kingdoms.
Holy shit, I thought I was the only one who felt this way, everyone else I mentioned it to acted like I was crazy.

>are they even trying?
are YOU even trying?
this b8 is weak

bitch please, i beated the final boss and all.
It WAS amazing.

I still got all the endings and I liked the game. I was expecting it to be decent to play since people said D3 and Nier played like garbage and turned out to just be mediocre but Jesus Christ that game is fucking awful to play.

If it's only the gameplay that's turning you off then sure. If you go into D1 or D3 expecting story and characters similar to Nier you probably won't like it. All 3 of Taro's games vary a lot in terms of tone. There's still plenty of suffering though.

will the absolute madman make some rythm fuckery for automata too?

Really? I thought Drakengard was fun

I have the same thing with certain old films, too.

Everyone thinks I'm weird for it, just the same.

The Night of the Hunter has a very surreal vibe to me that's like a film version of that.

It's something to do with fog from those games, the way the mobs have a very limited set of movements, the dialogue being very stilted and strange. I've never pinpointed it exactly.

Demo didn't even like it that much if I remember his review right.

Drakengard 3 is heavily flawed and I'd never call it amazing but I still love it.

You're a goddamn madman then.
>That grating music
>those slow clunky controls
>That fucking camera that refuses to cooperate with you ever

Flying missions were actually pretty good though. I still like D1 but I'm never going to replay it again.

>>That grating music
Music was fine 90% of the time, only one or two were annoying, and mostly because of personal pet peves (like that one track that sounded like it was skipping because of missing data though it was part of the song, think in the level with the first rock golem)
>>those slow clunky controls
It's really not that slow, only when you have a slow unleavened weapon, when you've got a decent one leveled up it feels fairly fast, rarely even got touched by enemies. Could have used some sort of air dash though.
>>That fucking camera that refuses to cooperate with you ever
Camera was fine, I never had a single problem with it, so I have no idea what you are talking about.

>That grating music
I haven't played the game, but based on the links posted in this thread, it sounds pretty damn good to me.

It's hard to find all the info in one link, but basically the Lunar Tear can "grant one wish, like eternal life."

...which it did for Zero, but it did so to initiate the extinction of humans. And I guess that's why it doesn't have any power in NieR.

WHy does everyone praise the story? it's something a 12 year-old would write to be "adult".

It's avant-garde for sure. I love that industrialized pain sound.

>i only did one ending

Honestly, I thought Nier had a pretty average story, but very interesting universe. The characters also make the game very enjoyable. I pretty much feel the same way with Drakengard 3. It's not the most amazing thing ever, but it has its charms.

I guess it could be on the level of that Mike Patton solo album where it's just random noises and shit, hah.

Honestly though, when it comes to "weird" sounding osts you have osts like Evergrace that can be worth listening outside the game (the game is shit though so I guess there's that) but DOD1 is just something that's dull as fuck to listen to outside of the game.

>He says while praising a game who's musical style is directly taken from a lineage of western music and musical theory

Getting sold to a brothel when you're 10 can fuck up your personality a bit.
