What is the deal with Dragon Quest? Why is it so popular, is it that good?
I've played a bit of FF, SMT, Pokemon, Suikoden, etc. What is it that makes Dragon Quest different, and where should someone who has never played a game in the series start?
It's simply the best, my man.

But why? I'm not asking for an essay, just give me a basic rundown.
It's about as standard a JRPG you could possibly get. The biggest draw though would probably have to be that it makes an incredible attempt to make it feel like you're on an adventure, rather than just following along with a story.
It also doesn't mess with its combat system much at all. Every game in the series, for the most part, just adds onto the mechanics instead of replacing them. When it comes to basics of control, if you've played one, you've played them all. I really enjoy that about it, but it's not for everyone; it doesn't try to innovate mechanically.

all memes and shitposts aside I am actually kind of excited about Far Cry 5
I've never bothered to buy a single far cry game before this, they have all seemed derivative as shit and not very interesting, but this one actually looks intriguing.
I loved the show Justified and this game legitimately looks like the closest thing we have ever gotten to a Raylan Givens video game. I get to be the lone guy that brings law to a lawless land of backwoods hicks that run the country through drug money and religious cultism.
I am fucking hype I get to run around and fuck with Boyd Crowder and a bunch of mountain hicks.
Can't wait to play to be honest. FUCK DRUMPF AND FUCK WHITE PEOPLE *sips tea while holding cup with both hands*

Looks like it could befun
But 3 and onwards are hardly day one buys, they are short and lack replayability
Oh look, another marketing thread
Let's see if we can set a new record today
Do you like touchscreen controls?
In some rare situations made for it, it's fine. When their goal is a sad attempt to emulate buttons it just sucks and makes me wish for real buttons.
>>378675512
Fuck no.
Who the hell likes touchscreen anything?
So what are your thoughts on the original FEAR?
The best FPS of all time.
It's a video game I enjoyed. Next.

hasnt aged well
Why was everyone so convinced that MN9 was going to be the Next Big Thing?
>>378674601
Hopeful optimism
Marketing
Because it was being made by THE CREATOR OF MEGAMAN. HE MADE ALL THE MEGAMAN GAMES, ALL BY HIMSELF.
Remember that? Those were the days. That was literally the sales pitch.

Thoughts on DSPGaming?
hell be fine
>>378673813
Not a thought on DSP but on the "This is how you don't play Dark Souls" featuring him:
Comments picked to make him look like a retard are sometimes even more retarded than him coming from Dark Souls fanboys that can't see that he's sometimes right and the game has lots of horrible designs in it (ie the kick input is absolutely retarded for such an important move).
tried to dodge,
couldn't.
>mfw I actually start enjoying video games again
I just returned to my roots, and played a lot of old games I've played before. Then suddenly I rediscovered the magic of vidya. Its a good feel, lads.

>play games I've played when I was younger
>play them again now, with nostalgia-tinted glasses
>games still hold up after all these years
>have a blast playing them
The sounds, the gameplay, the mechanics, the graphics, the designs, the whole atmosphere of it all..
Magnificent
I bought mgs for psx at a con and decided to go back through my games when I got back for some nostalgia
I'm happy I played rayman at like 5-6 years old

Hypothetically speaking, what would it take for this game to be GOTY?
Get rid of the Rabbids
Apparently it's being built as an "entry-level Fire Emblem" and is closer to Final Fantasy Tactics in terms of gameplay than other Mario RPGs
Mario X-Com would be pretty cool
What is your most favorite DS game?
>>378673324

>>378673324
Jump Ultimate Stars, Ghost Trick and Pokemon Heartgold are the only 3 games I played on the DS that I actually went trough the trouble of buying after playing them even if I have an Acekard.
