I wanted to know what happened after each story, why each of the sisters were being hunted by Zero, what were ‘Intoners’, and how all of it would connect. Thankfully, you can read part of it on Drakengard 3’s official website.Īfter giving all the short stories a read, I found myself very hooked onto the characters and their fates. I was really interested in it as I heard it was a good introduction to the game. That was when I heard about the novella that came with the collector’s edition. I don’t have a keen eye for these things but I did notice that at times when the battlefield got too hectic (like when you call in your dragon to shoot fireballs everywhere on the area for most of the mini boss battles), it would get so bad that it felt like the screen was freezing several times. At this point in my research, I felt that I should get the game at some point when the price would go down or if I could find a used copy somewhere for cheap. Of course, I heard there were problems with the game, such as the major frame rate issues. Luckily (or not), I found out that you could buy the japanese voice DLC for 5$ on the PSN store if you hadn’t preordered the game 3 months early. I also found out that the english voice actor for Zero, the main character, didn’t get the right expressions for her and that she appears as a different character than the japanese counterpart. Reviewers tend to have a lot of games to play and they most likely put down the game and gave a review after only getting to the first ending. Now this is probably why it was getting harsh reviews left and right. One thing I’m wary of is western reviews of japanese games, they tend to be very negative and harsh, while not exploring the game enough to give an accurate assessment. In my research, I found that you would need to get up to the third ending for the characters motives to be clear. Yet I was still a little interested in the series, so I did my research. I felt like I was getting cheated, and pretty much forgot about the game.Īnd about 2 months later, I saw the game had bad reviews everywhere. By the time I found out about the series it was already too late. What put me off from wanting to get it was Square Enix’s business decisions. Apparently, if you want to play the game in japanese voices, you had to preorder the game 3 months early. It also looked like it would have a decent story. Fast-paced Action games are one of my favorite genres.

When I first saw gameplay footage, I thought the game looked pretty sweet. Let me clarify that I’ve never played Nier or the previous Drakengard games, but since Drakengard 3 is a prequel, it was said that it’s fine to play it if you haven’t gone through the previous ones. Every year there are about a handful of games I obsess over, Drakengard 3 is one of those games.
