@NoxAeturnus Yeah, video games have been becoming less enjoyable to me because developers want to appeal to the āmatureā audience who canāt seem to appreciate light-hearted simplicity and fun. I get that some series start out like that and take that route or have a more āmatureā entry every once in a while and thatās totally fine. But if Dragon Quest takes this route for every game in the future and changes the way itās played, it just might be lost on me.
@ApostateMage Thatās exactly what they did with Final Fantasy. Now look at it. When you hear people talk about their favorite final fantasy it is usually not one of the main entries that released after the year 2000.
We already got a remaster of Dragon Quest 8. What we need is a remake of Dragon Quest IX. The multiplayer, downloadable quests and vocations gave hours upon hours of fun. You could challenge bosses from previous games, recruit certain NPCs into your party, and so much more. Dragon Quest IX is the game that really deserves a remake. On top of that, Dragon Quest X should be localized as well. It looks like a very fun time.
@Col_McCafferty I donāt have an Xbox bro. I donāt know what it is with you people jumping to the Xbox thing whenever someone talks about your PlayStation overlords. Just because Iām a PlayStation fan doesnāt mean I have to worship them and like everything they put out.
@doctommaso Simple. You get a protagonist who probably just got done mourning someone in the first hour or is going to. Then you have them placed slightly to the left with a third-person over the shoulder camera and you just keep holding forward and pressing X until something cool happens. Oh! Letās not forget stopping every five minutes of gameplay to talk about something
I have the feeling theyāll still be making walking narrative simulators with different skins. I doubt theyāll make something fresh. Iām more interested in what third party developers are up to because third party exclusives are the only reason I got a PS4 back then.
They are still having this problem, yet want to give away their exclusives and had the gall to extend FF7Rās timed exclusivity. It just gives people more reasons to not get a PS5.
@GREGORIAN Your comment itself is a bunch of nonsense especially when you say Iām reaching when what I say is true. The walking sim is debatable, but thereās no denying that fans of the game will call people haters and homophobes no matter what is said about the game.
And Holy crap. Your last paragraph is the most pathetic thing Iāve read on this site. Iām not going to be able to take you seriously in the future. If you seriously think that then you must be new to all of this, and if youāre not, youāre ignoring the facts.
@RubyCarbuncle If thatās the case then there would be no point in buying PlayStation games. If you want to play PlayStation games invest in a PlayStation.
@TuckNorris85 Donāt waste your time trying to argue about the story. All the fans of the game are going to do is call you homophobic or a hater regardless of how good your arguments are.
@Odium Persona 5 Royal is a re-release and is the exact same game outside of what is basically DLC. You can complete the game the same way as you did in 2017 with the endings and all. Final Fantasy 7 is a complete overhaul and new experience
@Ralizah Here we go with the deflecting instead of holding Sony accountable like most PlayStation fans. Maybe no one told you but people were pissed about that too. Just about every Wii Shop channel game made it to the 3DS and Wii U if you didnāt know & both systems are backwards compatible with Wii & DS games.
As usual the people on this site are defending this & not considering the people who would rent movies that arenāt on Netflix or Hulu. I would have friends and/or family over and weād pick a good movie to watch for old times sake while we eat good food. I guess Sony wants to kill that now.
@LiterallyDoNotCare Iām not making it up. Either youāre in denial or you didnāt see the 2018 game awards chat. Iām free to say whatever I want. I just call out things in Sony that other people wonāt. Or are afraid to because of backlash.
@LiterallyDoNotCare Jesus. Step out of your Sony shell. They arenāt gods. If you played one Sony game, you played them all because they all offer the same experiences with a different coat. In the past few years Sony games havenāt even been the #1 highest rated games of said year.
@PSfan4Life22 all of them 10/10? Lol no. The story was a 6/10, serviceable at best. As for everything else God of War was no different from the average action-adventure game.
@dark_knightmare2 Itās because Sony is full of babies. I remember them calling TGA 2018 rigged because Red Dead Redemption 2 was sweeping awards, then they had a different tune once God of War won game of the year.

@Wallo Right, because of all your Kickstarter games and scraps right? š
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on Horizon Forbidden West?
Iāll need to see more. Iām playing HZD rught now and it looks pretty and all, but it lacks soul.
Re: There's a Brand New Sonic Game Coming to PS5, PS4 in 2022
Itās hard to get excited about Sonic games when there have not been many good ones lately. Or at all depending on your opinion.
Re: Dragon Quest XII: The Flames of Fate Is a More 'Adult' Dragon Quest, Has Player Choice, New Combat Style
@Ralizah Probably the reason. But Iām sure Dragon Quest would also do better in the West if they didnāt keep so many of the games Japan exclusive.

Re: Live: Dragon Quest 35th Anniversary Showcase Promises Plenty of Announcements
@MidnightDragonDX Dragon Quest XII was confirmed to be in development like a year or two ago, so this isnāt really news.
Re: Dragon Quest XII: The Flames of Fate Is a More 'Adult' Dragon Quest, Has Player Choice, New Combat Style
Iām going to be disappointed if itās no longer turn based. Dragon Quest being traditional is what makes it so loved.
Re: Live: Dragon Quest 35th Anniversary Showcase Promises Plenty of Announcements
@MidnightDragonDX Yet we saw nothing about 12 and X is still Japan only.
Re: Live: Dragon Quest 35th Anniversary Showcase Promises Plenty of Announcements
That was terrible.
Re: Dragon Quest Creator Hypes Up This Week's Event, Has 'Plenty' to Announce
I would love a remake of Dragon Quest IX. I loved it on the DS and I think it would be awesome on a next gen system.

Re: Dreamy PS5 Controller Colours Cosmic Red, Midnight Black Announced
The black one looks nice! I think the red would look better if the colors swapped places but they look better than the default white one.

Re: Epic Games Offered Sony $200 Million to Bring PS5, PS4 Exclusives to Its Store
If Sony went through with this theyād be the biggest sellouts in gaming history. Itāll give people one less reason to want a PlayStation system.
Re: Epic Games Offered Sony $200 Million to Bring PS5, PS4 Exclusives to Its Store
@RubyCarbuncle If thatās the case then there would be no point in buying PlayStation games. If you want to play PlayStation games invest in a PlayStation.
Re: Sony Extends Final Fantasy VII Exclusivity, Intergrade Won't Appear Anywhere Else for Six Months
They have the gall to do this when people are still having trouble buying PS5s.
Re: Awesome Co-Op Game It Takes Two Tops One Million Sales
Amazing. I hope there are more couch co-op games in the future. Games have been focusing too much on single player stories lately
Re: PlayStation Absolutely Dominates the DICE Awards
@TuckNorris85 Donāt waste your time trying to argue about the story. All the fans of the game are going to do is call you homophobic or a hater regardless of how good your arguments are.
Re: PlayStation Absolutely Dominates the DICE Awards
@fR_eeBritney And The Last of Us Part 2 looks like a walking zombie simulator. Shouldnāt judge something if you havenāt played it.
Re: PlayStation Absolutely Dominates the DICE Awards

Re: Sony Backtracks PS3, PS Vita Online Store Closures
@Ralizah Tell that to the developers who canceled Vita projects in light of the news.

Re: Sony Backtracks PS3, PS Vita Online Store Closures
Here we go. People giving Sony credit for not being anti-consumer. They shouldnāt have made the decision in the first place.

Re: Microsoft's Bethesda Bid One Step Closer to Completion as European Union Approves Acquisition
@Trajan Hell no.
Re: Microsoft's Bethesda Bid One Step Closer to Completion as European Union Approves Acquisition
@StonyKL I think with Microsoft behind them Bethesda wonāt release so many bug filled games.
Re: Microsoft's Bethesda Bid One Step Closer to Completion as European Union Approves Acquisition
@OrigamiCrane Iāve never heard any Nintendo fan say that but I wouldnāt put it past them.
Re: Microsoft's Bethesda Bid One Step Closer to Completion as European Union Approves Acquisition
@OrigamiCrane Thatās how the Sony fanbase is. If something isnāt in their favor or in favor of PlayStation, they hate it.
Re: Microsoft's Bethesda Bid One Step Closer to Completion as European Union Approves Acquisition
Haha. Glad to see this. I hated how Skyrim had limited mods because of Sony being idiots with the internal assets thing.
Re: PS Store Discontinues Movie, TV Rentals and Purchases in August
@themightyant My thoughts exactly. There are movies I really enjoy that arenāt on streaming apps & I want to watch one or two a few times.
