Thus far, things are shaping up for this to actually turn out very well, or at the very least, the game seems to be in capable hands on all fronts.

You are correct, Nier isn't good, it's great. #1 game of the generation.
Seriously THAT is the killer app news. I hated Nier for its awful gameplay, but still have that fucking OST on repeat sometimes. Amazing soundtrack

Dude if it has Nier-caliber OST, I really don't give a shit whether the game plays like the shittiest game of all time. Still day one and I know I will be just soaked into blissful experience.
Preach it bro.

How is Kimihiko Fujisaki invovled? I thought he was a full-time Mistwalker employee? Might've been a misconception.

I never really got why Nier was considered awful. It's an action RPG with bullet hell gameplay.
Try playing a truly awful game, like Magna Carta: Tears of Blood.

The dragon's design is cool, at least.
Yeah, not too thrilled about that.

Hmm.

.........i understand how you can listen to great music without playing a great game.....but the songs won't be as impactful unless you play through the game.

dem feels....
The worst, more like.
I'm intrigued by this though. I probably will be until gameplay footage indicates I shouldn't. Maintaining an open mind.
If you're saying there are far more awful games than Nier, I'd of course agree and you listed one of them.
But I simply didn't think any elements of the gameplay were implemented in a decent fashion; platforming was really awkward feeling, and the bullet hell stuff was neat on the surface but never really amounted to much in a game like this, at least for my one playthrough of the game. I did not playthrough it more than once because I felt that would be like waterboarding myself or some shit
Some people mainly applaud its story, but my one playthrough gave me a really bad impression of it and as I said playing through it again would be like torture, so can't bring myself to do it. That said I fully expect it to be bad in its conclusion same as 99.9% of all games
Edit: And god, all the terrible sidequests. Like Animal Crossing or something with these damned errands
Drakengard games are pretty mindless, which I think is better since I'm not sure Access or Cavia can make games that are particularly deep. But I will keep my eye on this

Good music is good music. I didn't catch any feels from the game, so instead I just listened to the lush and gorgeous soundtrack. Sounds just as good out of the game as far as my first playthrough went, but I agree with you the best game music gets even better when married to good games. I just would disagree about whether Nier applies for 'good'

The brilliance of Drakengard 1 is that even though I read the entirety of the LP, and listened to the soundtrack dozens of times, it still paled in comparison to playing the actual game.
It's a profound experience.

It's not awful, just mediocre. The Drakengard games have a better and more focused combat system while Nier feels like a mishmash of not bad ideas executed in a not good way.

I'd assume since this is called Drag-on Dragoon and not Nier means it's set not set on Earth.
Wasn't there something in the Nier backstory about Legion being banished back to the world they came from? That might be a bit part of the story here.

At least the soundtrack should be fantastic, fingers crossed for the game itself.
Damned with faint praise.

Deadly Premonition didn't start with gunplay in mind. It wasn't added until very late in development (PSA Director's Cut comes out next month). Access Games is coming off a Action RPG right now being published by SE as well. I'd like to take that as a good sign.
They're enjoyable. I'm up for another solid Action RPG with a crazy world/characters and great music. I think it can at least live up to that
Yes very much so.

Mindless is a good way to describe Nier's gameplay, and I'm okay with that. Playing it did not feel like suffering, like Magna Carta did, which is my criteria for awful.

Probably a new take on "Pacts".
Magna Carta felt like dipping my cock in pure sulfuric acid; Nier was more like stabbing my arm with a nail over and over. If that makes any sense lol
Actually, Access Games shouldn't have been surprising at all in retrospect. Takamasa Shiba is the producer of not just Drakengard and Drakengard 2, but also both Lord of Arcana and Lord of Apocalypse. Since he's the producer here again on the third game, it makes sense that he would select the developer he's working with right now, since Cavia is dead.

Hm. you're right. I guess the world of Draken still lives on while

I bought the Vita version at launch, and it's a relatively good looking game. Especially for an up-port.

I respect the things people like most about Nier (the story/characters/music) because I appreciate games that convey a strong sense of self.
But the gameplay. Man, I wouldn't even say it fell flat. It tripped down an extended flight of stairs and broke every none in it's body.
But I digress. This isn't a Nier reflections thread, it's about this new game. I think it looks cool. That's a great start
