@BloodyFandango i know the drakenguard 1 dragons name :P
-
He's talking about the dragon from Drakengard 1, I won't say her name because I don't want to spoil it for anyone.
-
A couple things - I don't remember anything about Leonard being a preist. And I wouldn't describe Caim as a murderer. Philosophical issues aside, killing in war is not generally seen as murder, and I don't remember Caim killing anyone that wasn't in self defence.
The word is projecting. You take what you think the world looks like and apply it to other things.

It IS fucking cool. Drakengard is amazing! Better than any XBOX game that is or ever will be. Caim is a freaking awesome character. There are 64 weapons. They aren't THAT hard to obtain. It's the 13th chapter that really gets people pissed. I don't use any of the dogding or blocking, those pussy Empire rats have no chance to kill me. XD

I love how this game says Square Enix right...too many times I have heard people playing SE games and saying EEnix...Wow. I love Drakengard.
@TheFallingNight Wow... @6:15 I hope that Cavia didn't hear you say that... I mean, the whole "This game has no depth" thing. You're really being inconsiderate of the elements that it took to compose this game. Sure, it's fucked up, but it really is trying to deliver a different view on life. You're semi-right about this game not having some philosophical moral... But you're wrong about it's lack of philosophy. This game has built it's own legend. I'm just sad that YOU missed the point.

I think by Cavia, you mean Yoko Taro, the director of the game and honestly the only one who actually cared about it (if the sequel is any indecation). And I stand by what I said. An ATTEMPT at depth is not the same as HAVING depth. Yes, there are flashes of brilliance here and there that I will discuss when I get to them (well honestly, IF I get to them) but they don't elevate the whole product.

If by the sequel you mean Drakengard 2, you're wrong. Drakengard 2 isn't canon, the first ending in chapter 8 isn't canon, the ending where you get all the weapons and get shot down in Tokyo is canon. The sequel is Nier. Also, I really think you missed a lot of the point of Drakengard, and you take that as it has no point except gruesome murder, you should look at Nier. Nier puts the point more out there than Drakengard, so it'd be easier for you to understand.

@BloodyFandango No, D2 is still canon, NieR didn't erase it. A series is allowed to have multiple canons, just look at comic books.
Also, I consider NieR to be one of the best games of all time, but there still wasn't a point to it. There was no moral unless you count (spoilers for NieR here)"No matter how hard you try to fix things, you're probably going to wipe out the human race."
The real "message" of these games is "Yoko Taro loves your pain."

Well, I suppose it's canon to a degree, since it wasn't written by the same people or directed by Yoko Taro, I don't see it as canon as Nier is. Well, there's as much a message as there is in King Lier or Hamlet, it's a dark, "nobody wins" scenario, the point is in the experience rather than the message. He's trying to tell a story that makes you think, but also depressed, rather than tell a story to deliver a message.

@BloodyFandango The problem is that Drakengard fails so completely at making the player depressed and at telling a story that any attempt it was making to do either is nullified. I agree that Drakengard is more and "experience", but it's mostly experiencing how fucked it can get.
Hamlet was an exploration of the human character, Drakengard is an exploration of how many drugs someone can take and still be coherent enough to pick up a pen.
