DRAKENGARD 3 BRANCH E SERIES

The uniqueness, the uncompromising character choices, the world building is all entirely worth it.

I always love how the first playthrough is always surface-level and the more you put in to the narrative, the more you get out of it. Pushing through to the ending chapters where the whole truth is layed out re-frames her whole character and her actions earlier. She's not just this perfect-and-ready-at-all-times fantasy girl. Zero turns men down when she doesn't feel like it. I read some article once that claimed the game was like some sort of submissive fetish fantasy, but i disagree. I enjoy how much agency she either intentionally or unintentionally maintains over her sexuality, which is hard to do in a medium which has a 'show not tell' philosophy. I like the people find her abrasive or unlikable. Unlike bayonetta which takes a very 'I'm posing for the player' which i dislike, Zero has a very strong sexuality, but it's never objectified, it's only ever talked about and she has a tonne of control over her sexual relationships. I find Zero to be a really interesting and downright feminist take on sexuality, and how we present it in media. There is always a lot going on in the background, it feels like you're discovering the characters the entire game. He'll turn really abrasive character types into like-able or at least sympathetic protagonists. There are no creators that make characters like Yoko Taro does. fyi: if anyone is having trouble with difficulty, you can just use melee to pummel enemies for combos in the 100's and they just shower health and powerups. I think that the technical aspects are terrible, But there is a good game in there if you can push past the bad frame-rates. There is a lot of opinions, but i'll throw in mine, i guess. Also, i hear the DLC stories are good for gold, but i've only done One's

There's things to like about Drakengard 3, but one of them is definitely not 'fun', and this is very true of Drakengard 1 as well I'd say.Ĭlick to shrink.There are side-missions where you fight gold enemies that drop tonnes of cash, just spam 3 easy to beat side missions, then go and do the gold mission. I do feel games and gamers will evolve past this eventually however. I think not all media is made to be easily consumed, but that construct is still very foreign to a lot of people in the medium of gaming.

This sounds pretentious because it is, but there's nothing wrong with that. I feel this will be more understood within another 20-30 years to more people when games are opened up to be a bigger artistic medium than purely for entertainment. I think this is a concept that won't be liked by many people, and many are still in the mindset that games should be 'fun' first, and there's good arguments to be had there, but I personally feel games can be unenjoyable and still be good.

There aren't many non-DLC weapons that retain the 's' size at level 4 and they're eclipsed in strength by medium and large weapons, so you're only hindering yourself by not upgrading or advancing to other weapons.įor the record, my impression of the whole series is that's it's very avant-garde, I think they're less focused on being fun and more experimental games aimed at a specific audience rather than general consumption. You may find that upgrading / transforming a small sword into a medium will only affect the blade length and not swing speed, but you won't know unless you try it. It sounds like you're using False Pact Lv.2, but small / medium / large doesn't necessarily dictate speed, it mostly indicates size - for example, the Feral King's Wildblade is a large sword that swings quickly like a small sword Zero's Blade is faster than Two's, despite both being medium swords, etc. One of my complaints about Drakengard 3 is that there's no real incentive to try out more than a few weapons in each category (especially if you've unlocked the DLC weapons). Like I said, that's the only one I had issue with when it came to truly game-hindering framerates, but I guess YMMV.Īnyhow, I'd tell you that you should really have been upgrading instead of purchasing, but you've learnt the hard way. I read your post the mission I'm talking about is Lost Verse 3.
