NIER LP

Jan 25, 2011 12:03

I know Kibi talked about finding one in Weiss's intro post, so in case anyone is interested, The Dark Id is doing an LP of the game here. The forums are usually open for nonmembers, though they close them for several days once a month (usually) to try and coerce people into buying a membership ( Read more... )

NIER was honestly my game of the year of 2010. There were prettier games, games that played better, and all that jazz. But fuck them, NIER was a memorable labor of love by a company (that still absolutely hates you, the player) that got its shit together at the end to pump out one really great game.

He also LPed Drakengard, poor soul, and here's what he had to say comparing them:

"Drakengard was a repetitive grind that got old after about an hour of gameply. Nier, while not brilliant with its gameplay, does frequently mix things up to keep it fresh. Drakengard had a dodgily translated, barely comprehensible at points plot, filled with a cast of utterly unlikable assholes that all had subpar voice acting. Nier has one of the best damn, natural sounding translations I have heard in a JRPG, has an interesting and coherent plot filled with a very likable cast of jerks with outstanding voice acting. Drakengard had a soundtrack of chaotic dissonance that was unsettling at best, ear raping at worst. Nier has a goddamn phenomenal OST that was so well received it got a second one released just last month."

"a very likable cast of jerks with outstanding voice acting" :3

/Aaaaaand, LIKE A BOLT FROM THE BLUE, I come back from the dead.
Hay ya'll.

But YEEEESSSS, I shall check this out! :D
I've been watching some of the boss battles on YouTube and downloaded... pretty much the entire soundtrack, but I haven't sat down with an LP yet, SOOOOOO...
Thanks, tkino! YOU ARE THE BEST. <3

Hullo you!

I might be able to dig out a link to the second OST if you'd like. It's basically remixes and alternate versions of songs. I'm in love with Emil's theme in piano.

No problem, always happy to pimp the game out! The Dark Id's usually pretty good with updating regularly, so that's a plus even if the LP isn't done yet.
