Drakengard Starts Today. It's Gonna Get Weird.

Now that I am a (debateable) master of Blasters, I needed a new challenge.  I chose that my second featured game would be another piece from my backlog that I had a challenging history with.  Something that I had tried, somewhat enjoyed, and then promptly gave up on at the slightest challenge.  That game was Drakengard, for the Playstation 2. 

I had tried it, and enjoyed some of the bits where you're flying on a dragon.  It spoke to the D&D geek inside of me.  However, the slightest bit of challenge, and I sent the game packing.  I forget my logic back in 2005, but it probably boiled down to some variation of "Ain't nobody got time for this", and I probably started re-playing God of War. 

When Square Enix couldn't be bothered to publish Drakengard 2 in the US, and that task fell onto Ubi Soft, I felt my decision was validated. 

Then Drakengard 3 was announced, and by god, it looked bizarre.  I remembered my brief time with the original, and I decided that this series (along with its side story Nier) would be worth exploring on this channel.  After a brief bit of deal hunting, I found reasonably priced copies of both Drakengard and Drakengard 2 to bring into my collection for future play.
