"Taro Yoko has only directed a number of games in his life but for many people his titles are impossible to forget about mostly because he is the man responsible for the Drakengard series and Nier. While Nier was a great return to form, it has been nearly ten years since a Drakengard title was produced. As such fans were delighted to hear that Drakengard 3 was in development and better yet, it was going to be released in North America. Now after so much time has passed, does Drakengard 3 still have the same feel of the past games?"
Get ready to embark on a journey filled with monsters, magic, and overpowered haircuts, because this list features the best JRPGs on the PS3.
There wasn't that many. Thanks to the west's criticism. It was definitely lacking compared to every other ps system. Dont get me wrong there were a few good ones i know that.
Only gripe I have with Ar Tonelico 3 is that Saki is annoying as hell whether English or in Japanese. Then Saki's English voice actor became Ionasal on Ar Nosurge she was a little annoying but not as bad. Johnny Young Bosch voicing Tatsumi I thought he did a great job. And Akiko Shikata with her vocals and the music from the games just went hand and hand.
Square Enix suggested they might remaster more games from their storied archives—here are the classics we’d like to see get a new coat of paint.
I would definitely enjoy a Xenogears remaster. Recently finished Legend of Dragoon again (this time with platinum trophy) and would love to dive back into Xenogears with Fei and the rest of the crew.
Square Enix classics? dont they mean Squaresoft. Square Enix dont make classic games, just games with pretty graphics, no heart & soul, boring & over stuffed with woke Gen Z cockiness.
But while were on the subject i would love too see a remaster of Front Mission 3.
Drakengard 3 is a hidden gem from Yoko Taro that deserves a remaster.
The framerate completely destroyed this game. The graphics were pretty terrible as well. Other than that though I quite enjoyed it, the story, characters and overall gameplay was really good. It would definitely benefit from a remaster.
They should remake the entire franchise to be honest. Every single Drakengard game is definitely unique, but overall clunky as hell.
This game actually looks great. After reading this review I might pick it up!
There are some technical problems since it is unreal running on the PS3 which hasn't had the greatest track record.
The story is as you think it will be absolutely ridiculous but the dialogue can be hilarious at times. It is a game with a serious tone but really doesn't take itself seriously, often making fun of itself at times.
If you are a fan of Drakengard it really shed light on the previous games. Really easy as well.
Its an odd situation. The game runs horribly. It has the worst screen tearing I've ever seen, runs at 10-15 fps at times, it studders, locks up my system, and has the worst pop-in I've ever seen. The camera is abysmal. The levels are extremely linear with invisible walls everywhere, it has like one or two combos, and you don't even get to fight the best bosses in the game. The side quests are quick and boring and the main game is extremely short with the other half sold as dlc (the six sisters dlc that reuse the same damn maps).
That said I'm having a blast. The combat is extremely shallow but extremely fun. Leveling weapons is addictive. The art design and music are flat out amazing and the story is entertaining (although I wish it had more backstory and fleshed everything out). Any other game I would've snapped the disk in two by now. Judged on its technical problems its a five at most. Judged on fun factor and overall experience I'd give it an 8. Its a classic example of wasted potential. The dragon sections range from amazing to ps2 budget level. They could've, no, should've been amazing. The combat should've had more combos unlock as you level, maybe a double jump and double dash. It should've let you see stats because it doesn't feel like your actually leveling. Its worth it for the story and some fun mindless hack n slash gameplay but the performance ruins it. If they had ironed out those technical problems it would've been an instant cult classic and a must have. Right now I'd say wait for a price drop. I can't recommend anyone support this as much as i hate it. I know we're lucky to even have this game and I want more sequels but its inexcusable. Every time I get into it and start having a blast it freezes. The game really does do everything to hamper my enjoyment of it.
