straight jerkers posted:I haven't had any problems with the audio. Do you have 5.1 enabled in your PS3 settings w/o actually having a surround setup? The game does have some fairly bad audio issues. I run a 5.1 speaker system and the audio was completely unbalanced between gameplay and cutscenes; I had to force my PS3 to start outputting in stereo to resolve the issue.

Butt Ghost posted:That's the LP I was reading, actually. So it's not necessarily that Seere required to die, just that he needed to be launched somewhere near the giant pregnant lady? And doing so stops time, so instead of everyone being eaten, they just kind of stop doing everything altogether? Does this happen to the whole world, or just where all the giant evil space-babies are? I don't think even the writers could answer that question.

Physics isn't making GBS threads itself in those places, so light's able to pass through unabated, which is a sign that time's still ticking. There may or may not be straggler space-babies who flew beyond the range of Seere's time bomb (heh), but otherwise the world should be able to continue (RELATIVELY) unmolested. It just has a big black pimple now. A pimple filled with canibal space babies, a giant magic singing lady, a dipshit, a half-eaten dragon, and the biggest rear end in a top hat in a world filled with assholes. So yeah, the world made out okay in this ending, just so long as noone bursts the pimple.

The Dark Id posted:Play on Easy and look up the last ending on Youtube. You will not be able to do the last ending. It involves a rhythm game which requires 49 button presses in half second secession flawlessly by the end of it... But hey this is the Drakengard 3 thread... It's actually really easy because you can just keep constantly pausing the game and memorizing the the next few button presses from the screen.  But yeah I probably wouldn't have even tried pausing if the physical pain hadn't first forced me to.

The gameplay was tedious and mindnumbing, but when you're blaring that soul-crushing music and the characters are all shouting about the end of the world, you really feel as if there's this heavy, menacing emotional cloud over you. It's almost a masochistic experience. I'm way early on in D3, but I'm hoping it'll capture a little of that same spark of originality.

What determines how many hits are in your weapon's combo chain, your level or the weapon's level? I want to upgrade one of the two swords I've picked up so far (I'm only up to Chapter 1 Verse 3), but I'm not sure which one yet.

Here's an analysis on how Drakengard 1 is about the alteration of the truth, and how a terrible person is turned into a legend. Spoilers, of course. It seems like a fairly solid interpretation, though this guy also says that Persona 4 is about how Yu Narukami is a sociopath, so he could just be looking too far into it.

Dynasty Warriors games have more to them than this game does. It is the bottom barrel of gameplay mechanics and it can't even keep the actual game working properly. Like I'm not hating playing it, but it's very clear this is not a good game from any objective perspective. The game looks ugly as poo poo too, I can see the jagged edges of the pixels as they come off of the environment, it's like playing God Hand again (Although that game is good). The level design is also not good and straight up terrible in the desert areas. There are a lot of obvious problems with the game unlike Dynasty Warriors where those games are at least competently made even if they do get samey. I don't blame people for saying they like the game, it's cool that you do, but really trying to use Dynasty Warriors as a comparison is very silly.

I'm digging it so far after about 90 minutes. It has that janky Cavia charm to it. Holy crap is the Dual Shock 3 an adjustment after six months of PS4, though. I assume getting all of the endings is contingent on completing the weapon collection. Do they all need to be max level too or is that just for earning trophies? I'm trying to avoid looking at trophy lists.

To get all of the endings you just need to complete one ending and then you unlock the branch into the next. It's not until Ending D that you need to do specific requests to get that one. Nothing is tied to weapon upgrades except trophies.

Anatharon posted:Well, some people like out of tune music, but these people are wrong too. The idea that I'm wrong for liking something is laughable. You're operating under the assumption that your standards are the only valid ones, which is fine if you're only accounting for your own taste. However, when you expect others to conform to your personal tastes, and chastize them when they don't, it's not only rude, but it also highlights your lack of experience. You don't have all the answers. Nobody does. Why do I mess with broken machinery? 'cause I like fixing poo poo. Why do people like listening to out-of-tune music? Maybe they're exposed to perfection too often, and need something lovely to break up the monotony. Why do I like Drakengard 3? I don't fuckin' know. That's the beauty of taste: I don't have to account for it, because I can't. Neither can you.

Maybe you can get in on the "I dislike it so much that I enjoy hate-playing it and posting about it" shtick, reaching a level of closeness with the ghosts of Cavia previously thought unattainable. I'm enjoying it so far though so I'm not sure on the exact mechanics of that. Squallege posted:I just got passed Three and the encounters with each sister are wonderful. Four.

Halfway through the D branch. That second fight against Five was pretty crazy. I'm actually having legit fun with the combat in the C and D branches, I kind of wish the game was more challenging in the early stages. The gameplay is pretty fun when every encounter is a legitimate threat.

Cent's voice is Liam O Brien's regular voice which you will very rarely ever hear given the characters he plays. Just finished the B Branch and oh man, I have no idea what just happened. I figured that Zero sacrificed her life for Mikhail, but she's like in his head or something as a little girl? This is some incredibly silly poo poo. That boss fight required more thinking that previous ones but it still sucked. I was totally cool with just beating down Cent and Two, then another giant monster walks up and is like "FART POISON". I guess the implication at the end there too is that Two killed One, but man impalement by some random titan's spear seems overcomplicated. Also I am getting very noticeable screen tearing just on the ending credits, holy poo poo. EDIT: So Zero just created pacts? Hahaha oh man.

Just finished the B Branch and oh man, I have no idea what just happened. Couple things about Ending B, which I agree is kinda confusing. These are just the impressions I got, so don't assume this is all true. 1. That voice is the flower, not Zero. 2. Ending B is the result of One becoming aware that Zero, Three, and Two are all in the forest, so she uses some magic poo poo she found in one of her books to poison it, intending to use it to weaken Zero, Two, and Three so they'll be easier to kill, after which she'll have herself killed. But since Two is completely out of her mind at this point, the poison just makes her even more erratic, so she kills One. Zero succeeds in causing the death of all of the Intoners, but since Mikhail has the flower in his eye very bad things are going to happen eventually.
