Drakengard 3 is a game thats very existence is a miracle. Nobody expected the series was going to continue when Cavia closed down after releasing Nier. The game holds a special place in my heart, with its fantastic story and music, and surprisingly enjoyable combat. My favorite moments were all the fun interactions between Zero and Mikhail.

Drakengard 3 is one of those games that sticks with you, not because it was perfect, but because it was utterly unique. It's messy, chaotic, and downright broken at times, but it had a raw energy that few games capture. The story was unforgettable, dark, twisted, and emotionally brutal, with a cast of deeply flawed characters you couldn’t look away from. And the OST is brilliant. Underrated gem stuck on a dead platform, deserves to be played on modern hardware at 60 FPS. Lots of players who like modern Nier would really enjoy going back to series roots.

Drakengard 3 is such a weird experience. Definitely the weirdest game, in a good way. A prequel to Drakengard 1 but it's a LOT more bloody but filled with more meta jokes and fourth-wall breaks. The original Drakengard 3 on PS3 ran pretty poorly at low frame rates with lag, but even so it was still an experience that stays with you. OST is my personal fav in the Taro series of games, and characters have gorgeous designs. Also, Zero is the best and she can do nothing wrong.

A dark fantasy that is insanely dark but can still make you laugh your ass off. You can ride a dragon, you gonna laugh, you gonna cry, what else do you need? It's sad it's stuck on the ps3.

Drakengard 3 is a game that is only available to be played on PS3 and had quite a bit of issues with performance. Despite this, It is a strange incredible game that should be experienced, Despite some dated aspects It'll stick with you like no other. Like the previous games it presents a pretty dark story but the cast of characters really set it apart from the others in the series. This game is brutal, ALOT of blood, uncomfortable and dark character interactions and jokes. Some of these do feel "of an era", rough around the edges but some have such a lasting impact that you'll find yourself remembering even the rough parts of this game fondly. The OST is incredible with some of the best songs in the entire DrakeNieR series and the game culminates to one of the most incredibly difficult and unforgettable boss fights ever in gaming.
At first I bought it just as a collector but once I played it I couldn’t put it down, while the game had frame rate issues I barely even noticed them most of the time, the characters are fun if not somewhat annoying at times but that is their character, the music SLAPS!! dlc was great too had a blast playing as the other sisters and the final boss, while many seem to not like it or just find it lazy I loved it especially the feeling I got once I finally beat it! It was the first game I get platinumed on ps3 and I had an absolute blast with it!

Drakengard 3 has a terrible level design, clunky controls, annoying characters, awkward jokes, boring side content, hardly innovates and doesn't try to hide it at all. And then, the game becomes self aware of how it works and suddenly decides to turn everything upside down. The good parts shine so much that even those "bad" parts are remembered fondly after clearing the game. Maybe they were not bad at all. It's a 9/10 disguised as a 2/10, an unforgettable experience that makes us think of why we play videogames. We all find our answers when we clear The Final Verse.

I had the absolute pleasure of playing this game back when it released. This was my first Drakengard game and I absolutely loved it. Yeah, it was a very weird game for the time but almost no one else was doing what Yoko Taro was doing. The only thing that held this game back, was really the performance on the PS3. It was like watching and playing a 1920's silent film with the choppiest of choppy frame rates you could ever imagine. I don't know if GoG or even Square will be able to preserve this game, but here's my vote if it can happen. Yoko Taro should want to preserve his legacy with this and the first Drakengard game.

O pior melhor jogo que já joguei. Eu realmente sonho com uma portabilidade fidedigna pra pc. Yoko Taro é um gênio maluco, não sei como um jogo recheado de erros me cativou tanto.

Invited on a winter dream ski trip with a group of friends, you head for a ski lodge for some winter skiing and fun. For you, it's a journey home, since you frequented this particular lodge since when you were young. With you are Kyoka, a very special childhood friend of yours, her stylish sister Keika, and your sister, Honami. At the lodge, you enjoy the hospitality of the owner, Kasumi, a competent woman with a tinge of sadness in her eyes. Also at the lodge is the lovely Shizuka, the mysterious helper who has many secrets. As the story develops, you are confronted with the reality that Kyoka, your friend since childhood, loves you. You've suspected this, but haven't ever been able to face this before now, with the magical and romantic winter snow all around you. At the same time, you are strangely attracted to the quiet and romantic Shizuka-chan -- which will you choose? Although many erotic temptations are in store in the quiet mountain retreat, and there are many paths you can choose, you must be true to your heart.
