drakengard. about as screwed up as i'd heard

[moonsheen]

So, the landed battle system in Drakengard is pretty bad. It's very boring, very basic hack and slash in which you have to level up individual weapons but carries not the satisfaction you get when they make you do that in Vagrant Story.

However

This basically sums up how I feel about the air levels.

Nggggh I love that game, if only because of the air levels and that good, fun meteor sequence. However, giant flying babies...not so much.

Did you get the Golem kid yet?

You're playing Drakengard?! <3 <3 <3 Be prepared for the most fucked up/worst/best game ever.

(The weapons. They evolve. Like pokemon)

I expect epic Drakengard ficlets! Or just help deciphering the awesome wtfery of the plot.

man, I'm the exact opposite. I love the land levels, because even though the hack and slash is tedious, it's also very viscerally satisfying. Also, the combos(manah's especially) are very pretty. on the dragon, I'm like, shit, why does this thing handle so badly??? :(

are you playing one or two?

playing one at the moment. since it was lying around gamestop for five bucks on clearance. I plan to grab too, though. From what I've seen of it the landed gameplay looks much improved and better to handle, as opposed to clunky ol' Caim crazying his clunky way through levels.

My favorite scene so far is the one where Inuart keeps debating Caim JUST after finding out the guy's gone mute. There's just something deeply funny about the fact he KEEPS ARGUING while Caim just tries to convey STFU INUART in dots.
