Seriously tho, check the part youre dying and count how many circles are coming out and start taking note, that really helps specially during one's part, keep doing that and you'll get it done after a shitton of attempts.
or alternatively, sync it with a youtube vid and get it done.

Thats where I lost it.
If I could re-attempt instantly I'd have beaten it fair, but not with this, just synced the youtube vid.

Playing the DLC now, no regrets in killing all this trash.

Literally PTSD inducing. After about 30 tries, I pussied out and used a YouTube video to cheat my way through. That took another 5 tries, but I was drunk.

OP, do it yourself if it gets you off so you can brag on /v/. If you value your time and sanity, just use one of the YouTube videos and sync it up.

>>363995608
Is the DLC really worth the pricetag? Isn't it practically more than the game itself just for the story DLCs?

Atleast this can be restarted fast and has all the prompts.

I fucking hate this bitch

>>363996002
What's the difference in using Youtube? Wouldn't it be like watching a video to memorize the rhythms or something?

It really isn't that complicated except for the last note.

>>363996156
>mfw I am rhythmically challenged

>>363995051
I still have my copy of this game and I am scared to death of what will happen when I reach this part.

>>363996701
youtube is for tone deaf people like me who knows fuck all about rythym or music. The guide videos generally give you animated visual cues that are masked by the game's camera like a standard DDR setup. Then again I think the very end fucks even the music fags up.

syncing the youtube vid is a bit of a challenge in itself but I'm glad i got it over with.

It's basic 4/4 time, people. Elementary school tier rhythm. Git Ears.

>>363997723

I'm not losing shit just because its a badly designed boss fight.
You can stake your ideals onto shitty game design if you want - but maybe you should apply it somewhere where it actually matters if you want to feel that good about yourself.

>>363997756
What the fuck does that even mean?
I did this legit w/o all the: muh 8/16/69, err mah gud do you even rhthym REEEEEEE

>>363995051
The only bullshit part of this boss is that last note. To be fair I've never played the game myself, but if you have a basic understanding in music and rhythm its easy as fuck. Basic patterns, you can do it with your eyes closed, it would probably even be easier.

>>363998093
You can a big relief if you beat the last boss, because it was actually challenging and you worked hard through it.

If Drakengard 3 had a typical last boss it would have been a snorefest and you would have taken it for granted.

>>363998340

see
>>363995608

Its one thing for something to be challanging, its another it to be DESIGNED LIKE SHIT

I would have the patience to get the rhythm right, I don't have the patience to wait a minute for every attempt.

I love Drakengard 3 but its a dogshit game as far as design goes all around, same applies to its last boss, a neat idea (if a reused one) but the execution ruins it.

Theres a million other games I can feel good about beating a challange where it is not a pain just to attempt it.

>>363996346
>>363996374
YouTube it is. This stuff should have been in the game, considering how awful it is the play.

>>363998556
If they added things like checkpoints it would have just devalued the fight.

That final note at a black screen is just a final "Fuck you"

>>363998751

Considering your smashed your stupid head against a wall for hours probably to beat it, obviously nothing I say will have meaning to you because you are literally too proud to get it.

Just not making me watch an entire minute cutscene (+ super slow load/menu times) for EVERY attempt would've made the entire thing a lot more bearable.

>>363997471
I found a lot of value in beating it. It was a lingering fear of mine for a few years, since I wanted to play the game but I knew this part existed (I couldn't play because my PS3 was dead). When I finally beat it I felt an intense relief and optimism, like I had overcome myself after all this time.

The boss itself was also amazing. The reason why it's happening, the music, the overall presentation. It's so tragically beautiful. It's not only my favourite part of the game, it's also my favourite boss fight ever.

Final note is bullshit though.

would you take any challenge no matter how redundant it is? Like hey I dare you to eat your own shit 100 times in one go. You're not going to back down from a challenge are you?

Video games are just mere contracts that if they sound stupid at some point you should just opt out. There isn't some god judging your reasonable choices. If the game is fair and reasonable enough and hits you with difficulty that makes sense, then it feels like you really achieved something and grown from it. There are several hard games I did not feel satisfied after beating. There's just no point if you didn't enjoy actually doing it.

Well that is a very personal thing, most people are not afraid of video games.

I love the fight, but if I had spent hours re-attempting though its extremely slow process, it would've just ruined my enjoyment of the story and the finale of it.
I've done like 15 attempts, and then my patience has ran out watching the same shit again and again, waiting for my turn to actually get to try.

I'm not mad that it was hard, I'm mad that it was BEYOND INCONVENIENT.

>>363999513

And btw this is not nearly the only thing in Drakengard3 that is like this.

Accord missions?
Gives you a time limit, gives you very small space to work in (fog), you can do your best and clear out all enemies ASAP - but what the fuck do you do when the enemy that holds the item you need DOESNT SPAWN / DOESN'T APPROACH YOU FROM THE FOG(where if you kill him you won't see the item)?

Nothing, just sit and hate.
Some tasks are not worth doing.

>Well that is a very personal thing

Exactly my point. A lot of people hate it and I totally understand why, but I thought it was great, the game woudln't have been as good without it for me.

And I didn't mean it as literal fear, more like unfinished business that I knew I would struggle a lot and probably wouldn't capable of completing. That's part of the reason why I found so much value in it.

It's true that after 15 attempts, all that impact and beautiness is gone, but if it was easier it would perhaps feel kind of pointless. The only part I think it was a mistake was the last note. Everything else was okay the way it was, even the camera movements.

Except the first minute it takes until the battle starts.
The very fact that the cutscenes are included in the fight is the problem.
If its JUST the fight you are re-attempting it doesn't ruin the story elements through repetition.

But they did include it, and they did ruin the fight with it. What emotional impact can those parting words have on me while I'm extremely fucking mad about sitting there for hours and then getting ruined by the final note?
None.
Drakengard3 is a wonderful game, ruined by its execution in all aspects. You hyping yourself up for the battle over years and thus getting a bigger sense of achievement out of it is hardly an actual counterpoint.

>>363995051

Kind of?

Drakengard 3's endings all seem to have a resulting element that affect Drakengard 1, so it's assumed they culminate in some way due to wonky time-anomaly nonsense that revolved around Zero.

But I think the conclusion of being beaten by Mikhail in Ending D is what's most canon to her actual fate.

>>364007394
Actually,the ending that actually leads to Drakengard 1 is Ending E,which is only in the side novel

>>364008845

I know it's the only other ending besides Ending A that actually acknowledges that Brother One was a thing.

I think Drakengard 1 has more basis of a connection with Nier Automata, if they go into more of the backstory of the world and what became of Angelus and Caim.

But I've seen a lot of people predicting that Accord will show up in some fashion.

>>364009091
I actually haven't read it myself due to there not being a finished translation,but from what I heard,it's a combination of B and A where One summons something and poisons them,Zero invents pacts and Bro One kills them both.
Might be wrong,though.
>>364009330
Nier had it's canon ending in a novel as well.
Automata probably will have it's canon ending in the game since for the both of them,the reason it wasn't in the game was budget problems.

I guess it could fit with the idea of her being a time traveling inter-dimensional android
But I kind of hope the time-traveling magic tomfoolery is downplayed in Automata.

Drakengard 3's story was pretty convoluted in trying to find any consistency between the branching timelines because of it.

>>363994319
Yes, the game expects you to learn how to handle this. It teaches you how every segment plays first and then denies you the access to visual cues. If you knew shit about musical theory you'd understand that there's a set pattern that is being followed. And you know the best thing? You don't have to beat this encounter. It's just one of the multiple endings.

>>364014478

I'm sure it won't be a massive part of the main plot.
Honestly I'm 100% sure Taro will make both the theme and story of Automata one and whole, even if he connects it back all over the place to the earlier games.

The only two real connections is that he confirmed Accord as appearing in some form, and Nier Tokyo/Cathedral City being way too similar and out there.
Wouldn't be the first time we banished something into other dimensions.
