Dafug? The sheer insanity of Drakengard is fun by and of itself. I understand how it isn't for everyone, but it doesn't really stretch the imagination to see how someone can enjoy it.

Don't get me wrong, it's a one of a kind experience in gaming, and I loved it. It just made me feel super uncomfortable. Everything from the disharmonious music that screeched in your ears to the story that slowly revealed itself as more horrifying each time you thought it couldn't get worse. It's an absolutely insane game, especially if you have no clue what you're getting into.

ÝYYYYYYTEEEEEEESSSSSSSZ

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Time to listen to Song of the Ancients Fate for the 300th time

Lmao, truuuue.

This is shaping up to be a badass game so far.

 

[Hesemonni]

My face: all over it.

Didn't they add another singer? I saw her at the Nier concert, but I can't recall the name...

Two actually although I don't remember their name either

 

[Moonkid]

Her live singing was a bit disappointing not gonna lie, but she knocks it out of the park for the soundtracks so this is great news nonetheless. It'll be interesting to see where she takes the lyrics as well.

Nier Automata vs Persona 5 vs Final Fantasy XV.

The battle for the Soundtrack of the Gen will be brutal.

 

[Cipherr]

Thank the stars.

Okabe, Shimomura and Meguro all in the same year.

The year of videogame music

Wonderful news.

Nami Nakagawa also sang on the first game's soundtrack. J'Nique Nicole, who's doing Automata's main theme, is new to the series, though.

 

[YianGaruga]

It's hard to imagine Nier without her honestly. It's an essential part of the experience.

 

[Shin-chan]

I thought I couldn't be more hyped after the boss battle gameplay. Everything about this just looks incredible. I've wanted an RPG with DMC level combat ever since playing the first Devil May Cry and Kingdom Hearts ... and here we are, with a sequel to fucking Nier!

 

[spiky]

Is she the one singing in this?

This game is going to have epic music!

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

So happy!

 

[Iriscomeback]

One of my most anticipated games.

2017 is already shaping up to be an awesome year!

 

[Croash]

This game is more amazing with each passing day.

No, that was Nami Nakagawa. I think the boss theme is the only track we've heard so far with Evans.

Nah, that was way before Evans was included back into the fold. The tread about that trailer actually discussed the matter and there were mentions of both Okabe and Taro saying something along the lines of wanting to experiment with new stuff on the music and vocals and not knowing if they want to add Evans or not.

 

[Azure Phoenix]

I knew that it could only be Emi singing on that boss trailer, all the right pieces are in place now.
