Unskippable: Drakengard 2

[Something Amyss]

And if you guys thought the name was silly and pointless, you should have tried playing Drakengard 1. There's very little Garding Drakens or sense.

 

[vivster]

you guys really excel at jrpgs

 

[MatParker116]

Great work guys, keep it up

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

You guys are right, that really was an underwhelming title font.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

I LOL-ed at the dive part, quickly thrown in before the end.

 

[The Cheezy One]

I loved this game, and the previous one. I'm glad you guys didn't just rip the hell out of it. I could see the Nowe Yesway thing coming though, because I thought it was stupid. If you haven't played the game, you'll be happy to know that Nowe is a pussy compared to his predecessor.

I know exactly why they didn't go for the original Drakengard. Something to do with it being impossible for the game to look bad on its own.

Seriously, the original's plot was pretty darn dark. Like "I don't feel like being happy today" dark. It figures Enix would aid in the closing of Cavia. For those who like their stories dark and cracky, I strongly recommend at least Youtubing Drakengard's original plot. All five endings. I hear it even ties in to Nier...which I desperately need to play since I love Cavia's plots WAY over Final Fantasy XIII's writer. Though the 2nd game wasn't exactly...well...it doesn't hold a bloody candle up to the first game in terms of plot or darkness. I'd even dare call it lazy. I wanted a continuation of ending 4/5 darnit!

That said, yeah, Drakengard 2 opened themselves up for you two. xD

I'm not sure what it would be, but one of these days I need to hear an official joke about people pronouncing lieutenant "leftenant". It's like they got...an F in Pronunciation! *rimshot*

'Leftenant" actually is the British pronunciation, and considering it seems they seems to be an abundance of such accents in just the opening alone, it would sound weird to not say that way.
Although nice use of it for a pun good sir, even if it's technically the correct pronunciation.

So true the part about the women's armor and the tutorials, made me laugh quite a bit together with the seals jokes.

 

[ManaAdvent]

His name is Nowe? No way! Yes Way!

 

[Infernai]

HOLY SHIT! Somebody actually knows of this game!? I thought myself one of the few people left alive that square Enix hadn't killed in order to keep this game a secret and one of the few with a full working knowledge of the plots of both games (First one is still better).

That and the fact there was that whole 'murdering children' side-mission might have something to do with it..

 

[BrotherRool]

I was going to say that I refuse to believe Square Enix made a game with so much gameplay inbetween the cutscenes, then I realised that this one wasn't made by Square Enix

This voice acting... The worst I've heard since Final Fantasy IV DS. Worse than Metroid: Other M. And it can entirely be attributed to the female lead; the others were not good, but at least they were vaguely competent.

P.S. Thanks

 

[Noxshadow]

Now that you've stepped through the PS2 portal, you guys should do Persona 3 or 4. Make fun off the P3 Protagonist's musical tastes.

Have you tried the English-language version of the original Two Worlds?

I'm fond of the Drakengard games despite their flaws, and Nier was brilliant. The seals are good too, though. Nice job, guys.

That was some of the laziest writing and design choices I had seen this week... and I have seen a lot already.

It's technically called hallucinating consonants that do not exist. If you wrote the word 'triangle' and someone without a trace of sarcasm or irony pronounced it 'trifangle' you would think that person had brain damage, a speech impediment or was on drugs and would probably be right.

Except with the pronunciation of places with the "-cester" suffix (Leicester, Worcester, Gloucester, etc), not to mention countless other place-name oddities, I think it's been pretty clearly demonstrated that the English have no idea of how to pronounce their own language.
