POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVENT COMPLETED THE GAME: "Love me, I want you to love me!" I was eleven or twelve when I first played through this game. The level where you went into Mannah's mind to slay the memory of her as a little girl scared the living crap out of me.
My introduction to the Drakengard series, it caused me to go and play Drakengard 1 and...most of my positive feelings for this game changed pretty quickly lol
I never understood why Square Enix didn't make a remastered or a remake of this game still remember the headache lol but it was a really great game. I would love to play it again and Drakengard 1 with Caim
This game was quite literally slept on,A straight up PS2 GEM. Edit:I watched this in 2012 bc I got the game from a friend around the beginning of 2012 out of a bunch of games he gave to me I thought this looked the most interesting. I was so right,This brings back so much nostalgia and I thought I'd share that memory.
I just now began to play this series. I have to say i think 1 story was very good in general, amazing towards the end, but the gameplay and camera control were frustrating to say the least, and repetitive many times. Drakengard 2 have seem to resolve a lot of playability issues: a more useful evasion and block, real combos in each weapon, free camera control, dragon skills on the ground, that hover feature is just amazing, partners feel a lot more usable (i know arioch was broken and basically allowed to insta kill everything on sight and you could spam her) but the developing and "party feel" of it was nowhere near in drakengard 1. Im loving this series, and at least, technically and gameplay wise, 2 seems like an overall big improvement. At least it solved most of my gripes with drakengard 1. Also the music, i loved how repetitive yet tense and atmospheric was drakengard 1 soundtrack, but i also love this more fleshed out soundtrack in 2. Can't wait to reach drakengard 3 and then move to both niers.
yeah same, yesterday they released pictures of Three, she has purple hair and uses these scissor things for weapons. im not joking, they just look like big scissors
no actually its a bit but confusing actually the drakengard 2 timeline only occurs if you get the ending of Drakengard where inuart and ferie fuse which is not the canon ending, the canon ending of drakengard is actually branch E which leads to another world in a game called NIER
+Chris Winkowski I thought it was the opposite, with ending A leading into Drakengard 2 hence being canon, and ending E and Nier being an alternate possibility.
+AverageMrStimson Pretty sure every ending in Drakengard is considered canon as the series deals heavily with split timelines and any sequel can literally be a continuation of any of the games many endings. The only thing I can really compare it to is the Zelda series and it's many timelines and sequels.
Ma Martin I agree because this one seemed more tragic and sad than the first the first was really one of a kind because throughout the game I really hated all the characters but still loved everything about it
They could have at least had Manah be the first, foremost and only lead. A Kratos kind of lead I may add. I couldn't care less about Nowe, even if I tried. And this comes from someone who usually loves sunshine characters. Cent from "Drakengard 3" is everything he should have been. This game disrespects EVERYTHING "DrakeNier" was built upon. Look at the OST. It's a joke ! Completely generic !
