this is such a fascinating game to me.
i hated playing 90% of it, didn't really care for any of the characters besides Caim and Angelus, the ost made me genuinely angry sometimes because of how repetitive and incoherent it is, the chapters structure makes no sense. some are unusually short while others are unbearably long.
and yet in spite of that, i kept playing and did every single ending. even during my miserable time i was fascinated by the lengths this game went to to make my experience as horrible as possible.
was this a good game? i'm not sure. was this a bad game? i'm also not sure. was this a very unique experience that i can't see being replicated in anything but in this medium? absolutely.
Drakengard fully takes advantage of its medium to create this one of a kind experience and i will probably never forget about this hellish piece of shit anytime soon.

how bad was getting all the weapons?
not that bad since i only got about 60% of them before deciding on getting a custom save that has all of them since it just wasn't really worth the trouble
ahhh i see what you did. When i played the game 4 or so years ago I think I gave up on my third(?) playthrough cause i was just getting tired of it and i heard i needed all the weapons so i just youtubed the rest lol
getting all weapons isn't that bad, getting them all to level 4 isn't hard either, just tedious (assuming you do the first level fireball spam strat). iirc you don't even have to get them all to level 4 to unlock ending E, just wanted to do it for a. pointless self-suck points b. the stories c. i cannot overstate how much i want to suck myself over that
honestly the worst weapons are the ones that are like "okay you have to defeat every enemy on this floor, then go all the way back to the first floor to find a random treasure chest that appeared"
