Unskippable: Drakan: The Ancients' Gates

[Darth_Payn]

Hear hear on the Dr. Claw voice! Now do Soundwave.
I'll be back when i have more to say about the video, besides the subpar graphics and nonsensical story.

Don't forget the unemotional voice acting, which is probably caused by poor directing.

...But I liked Draken... well I liked Order of the Flame...

Dude, you got to ride around on fucking dragons!

A bad font? Don't make fun of the ancient, revered language of Squiggles That Kind of Look Like Nordic Runes If You Squint and Also Has Never Seen Nordic Runes Outside of a Videogame. STKoLLNRIYSaAHNSNROoaV is the official written language of Hyrule and of the Daedra so treat it with respect!

The joke about the game being Japanese because the moon is big is weird, because... go play GTA: San Andreas. Look at the moon. IT'S HUEG. You may know that if you shoot it it grows then shrinks, but only after it shrinks it actually looks like the moon you might find on planet Earth. Then again the cities in San Andreas are smaller, so maybe the entire planet is smaller and the moon is closer!

The other thing about the Book of the Over-Long Introductory Narrative is that, not only was the manuscript in a poor font, but it was also clearly faded from time... While the illustrations were still in full, vibrant color.

I actually used to own this game (PS2 version). I enjoyed it, too, but never completed it. Can't quite remember why, but I'm pretty sure the controls were a bit wonky. I know for certain that it was somewhat buggy, with plenty of places where you could get stuck in the scenery. Shame, really, the game world was richly imaginative, varied and detailed - a joy to explore! I'll never forget those boats with gigantic turtle shells for canopies.

 

[Voulan]

Bloody hell, I nearly bought this game when I was little because it had dragons and you could ride them, but instead I went for Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness. Even though it was a buggy mess, it was definitely better than whatever this is.

Captcha: "Words of Wisdom." You got that right.

[countz3r0]

Hahaha Oh man!! I was a QA Lead on this game back in my Sony days.. The stiff game play! The horrible "British" accents!! I bet I could still crash it in 4 minutes..

Worst voice actor in the game? Old man who says "PLEEEAZE, MY DAUUGHTERRRR!".

Ahh memories.. Thanks for taking me back there!

Loading Ready Run delivers again!

Personally I actually like the dragon's voice, but then I have an affinity for those types of voices.

QFT!

I actually really liked this game, sure it had faults but it was fun none-the-less and the dragon riding worked really well.

 

[Bors Mistral]

Ahh, one of those titles that seriously need a resurrection. The Dragon Knight Saga didn't quite scratch that particular itch.

 

[idodo35]

i dont get the idea behind the plot its like if you took the eragon siries
replaced eragon with a woman
waited untill after the actual plot ended
and then started the plot for the game!
i mean the great evil is already defeated what else do we have to do?

 

[CrazyGirl17]

I can't help but feel like this is a sequel to something. Though if Drakengard was considered a better game... then I doubt this one's any good.

Also, I'm with everyone else: Graham does a great Doctor Claw impression.

 

[Hero in a half shell]

Up next week: Drakes' Drakeguards 2: The Drakening!

 

[chapomon]

Ahh...Drakan: The Order of the Flame was my very first PC game. Too bad The Ancients' Gates wasn't as good even though Arokh got a great make over.

 

[bdcjacko]

Wait, is this the game where Susan lost her dragon?

 

[Cosplay Horatio]

Oh wow, I haven't played this game for many years. It's like Skyrim but the DLC where you can learn that shout to ride a dragon except there are no shouts just weapons, magic, quests, grinding for gold, loot, and weapons in caves and dungeons, Riding on the back of a dragon, and landing in an enemy camp to roast them alive...so satisfying.

 

[Skeleon]

There was another Drakan game? I only knew of Order of the Flame and that was kind of enjoyable. Never heard of this one before.
