Story:Drakengard 3 transports players to a medieval world where six goddess-like sisters known as "Intoners" have brought peace to the earth with their power to manipulate magic through song.

As the story progresses, players find themselves in a battle to unravel the mystery of Zero and learn her true intentions.
A prequel to the original Drakengard, Drakengard 3 features the series’ signature brand of action, pitting players against hordes of fiends and foes in remorseless hack-and-slash ground combat, and then sending them soaring for pitched aerial battles on the back of the dragon Mikhail.Show more

Drakengard 3 is a game thats very existence is a miracle. Nobody expected the series was going to continue when Cavia closed down after releasing Nier.
The game holds a special place in my heart, with its fantastic story and music, and surprisingly enjoyable combat.
My favorite moments were all the fun interactions between Zero and Mikhail.
Drakengard 3 is one of those games that sticks with you, not because it was perfect, but because it was utterly unique. It's messy, chaotic, and downright broken at times, but it had a raw energy that few games capture. The story was unforgettable, dark, twisted, and emotionally brutal, with a cast of deeply flawed characters you couldn’t look away from. And the OST is brilliant.
Underrated gem stuck on a dead platform, deserves to be played on modern hardware at 60 FPS. Lots of players who like modern Nier would really enjoy going back to series roots.
Drakengard 3 is such a weird experience. Definitely the weirdest game, in a good way. A prequel to Drakengard 1 but it's a LOT more bloody but filled with more meta jokes and fourth-wall breaks.
The original Drakengard 3 on PS3 ran pretty poorly at low frame rates with lag, but even so it was still an experience that stays with you. OST is my personal fav in the Taro series of games, and characters have gorgeous designs.
Also, Zero is the best and she can do nothing wrong.
Drakengard 3 is a game that is only available to be played on PS3 and had quite a bit of issues with performance. Despite this, It is a strange incredible game that should be experienced, Despite some dated aspects It'll stick with you like no other.
Like the previous games it presents a pretty dark story but the cast of characters really set it apart from the others in the series. This game is brutal, ALOT of blood, uncomfortable and dark character interactions and jokes. Some of these do feel "of an era", rough around the edges but some have such a lasting impact that you'll find yourself remembering even the rough parts of this game fondly.
The OST is incredible with some of the best songs in the entire DrakeNieR series and the game culminates to one of the most incredibly difficult and unforgettable boss fights ever in gaming.
At first I bought it just as a collector but once I played it I couldn’t put it down, while the game had frame rate issues I barely even noticed them most of the time, the characters are fun if not somewhat annoying at times but that is their character, the music SLAPS!! dlc was great too had a blast playing as the other sisters and the final boss, while many seem to not like it or just find it lazy I loved it especially the feeling I got once I finally beat it! It was the first game I get platinumed on ps3 and I had an absolute blast with it!
Drakengard 3 has a terrible level design, clunky controls, annoying characters, awkward jokes, boring side content, hardly innovates and doesn't try to hide it at all.
And then, the game becomes self aware of how it works and suddenly decides to turn everything upside down. The good parts shine so much that even those "bad" parts are remembered fondly after clearing the game. Maybe they were not bad at all. It's a 9/10 disguised as a 2/10, an unforgettable experience that makes us think of why we play videogames. We all find our answers when we clear The Final Verse.
I had the absolute pleasure of playing this game back when it released. This was my first Drakengard game and I absolutely loved it. Yeah, it was a very weird game for the time but almost no one else was doing what Yoko Taro was doing. The only thing that held this game back, was really the performance on the PS3. It was like watching and playing a 1920's silent film with the choppiest of choppy frame rates you could ever imagine. I don't know if GoG or even Square will be able to preserve this game, but here's my vote if it can happen. Yoko Taro should want to preserve his legacy with this and the first Drakengard game.

L.A. NoireL.A. Noire is a neo-noir detective action-adventure video game developed by Team Bondi and published by Rockstar Games. It was initially released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms on 17 May 2011; a Microsoft Windows port was later released on 8 November 2011.
L.A. Noire is set in Los Angeles in 1947 and challenges the player, controlling a Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officer, to solve a range of cases across five divisions. Players must investigate crime scenes for clues, follow up leads, and interrogate suspects, and the player's success at these activities will impact how much of each case's story is revealed.
The game draws heavily from both the plot and aesthetic elements of film noir—stylistic films made popular in the 1940s and 1950s that share similar visual styles and themes, including crime and moral ambiguity—along with drawing inspiration from real-life crimes for its in-game cases, based upon what was reported by the Los Angeles media in 1947.
The game uses a distinctive colour palette, but in homage to film noir it includes the option to play the game in black and white. Various plot elements reference the major themes of detective and mobster stories such as The Naked City, Chinatown, The Untouchables, The Black Dahlia, and L.A. Confidential.Open world Action Historical Thriller Sandbox Mystery

XenogearsXenogears follows protagonist Fei Fong Wong and several others as they journey to uncover the truth behind mysterious, cabalistic entities operating in their world. The principles and philosophies of Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung influence the plot, character design, and world of Xenogears. Additionally, the symbols, theological concepts, and devotional practices of several world religions are represented in fictionalized forms in the game. Major psychological themes are the nature of identity and human memory, particularly as these relate to the phenomenon of dissociative identity disorder. The relationship between humanity and machines is central to the game's plot, as indicated by the presence of giant robots dubbed "gears," which almost each playable character can control.Fantasy Science fiction
