My hot Drakengard take of the day is that after playing it for like 110 hours and counting im very much convinced that ppl who still complain about the gameplay being a "slog" just aren't playing the game correctly. you can hate me for this but you will not change my mind

#gu6chan's musings #drakengard #this isn't to say that it's not FLAWED (looking at you arbalesters...)#but i will say: three allies; seven types of weapons; SIXTY-FIVE WEAPONS IN TOTAL; ALL WITH DIFFERENT WEIGHTS; MAGIC; AFFECTS; ETC #now going back to flaws i will say its perfectly normal and not ridiculously hard to just beat the game without allies/using Caim's Sword #HOWEVER #i see way too many people complaining about this and that enemy being 'frustrating' when it rlly boils down to:#1. use a quicker weapon; or one with a longer range #2. THERE ARE BLOCK AND DODGE BUTTONS?????#the last part in particular x100000000 when you learn to actually block or dodge instead of letting yourself fall on your ass like a silly #little fool and then complain about bad game design the game itself becomes infinitely more playable #ill even argue that drakengards biggest flaw isn't even it's REPETITION (as a matter of fact; that's a strength) so much as the fact it #doesn't encourage/push players to explore and experiment with different weapons and features so much #anyways my advice: long-ranged (preferably fast for the latter!!) weapons for enemies like mages and arbalesters #lightweight weapons for quicker enemies like goblins so you can actually land a hit on them #and for god's sake; the dodge/block button exists for your benefit. use it #ALSO hitting enemies while jumping causes them to fall over and allows you a chance to crack a bit more at them if you have a weaker weapon #works REALLY good with quicker ones too!!!!!#oh AND there's a variation of the dash attack where when you speed up you can do a jump attack for extra points of damage PLUS get them to #fall over like mentioned prior. you can do it with your allies too and its a lot of fun #SPEAKING of allies don't forget them!! ever!!!! (heheh) ESPECIALLY not during later chapters they are there to help!!! let them!!!#uhhhh that should be it... maybe ill make a separate post with these tips but Drakengard is a fun game!! you just have to resist hypnosis!!#(and bad press)
