digdugnate Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 this guy is! i played about twelve hours on the demo- which was twelve hours enough to see that I realllllly wanted to pick it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybercylon Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I may pick it up at some point as there is more content compared to the PS4 version. I did plan on getting it for the PS4, but I always said to myself, "you have too many games you haven't played yet". I could continue to use that excuse for the Switch version though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChildOfCv Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I'm still waiting for DQ7 for Android. But Nintendo seems to have commandeered and then buried the localization licenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to admit it, but he beat me to it, minus the PS4 part as it would have been on Steam. Most my Switch games aren't done, and I've got a stack of DS and PSP untouched or lightly used stuff and it eats at me. Maybe it's time I just take the pain and start dumping things in mass to clear up the backlog. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digdugnate Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 Fortunately, I'm in a pretty good place game completion-wise for my Switch- I'm six hours into FFVIII, but otherwise I've actually finished 90% of my Switch backlog. I tend to hyper-focus on one game until it's completed so generally there's not a bunch left for me to play. Dead Cells and Rad are probably going to be the exceptions, since I don't think I'll ever conceivably complete them, lol. Steam would probably be the only exception since I can't resist Humble Bundles and free games. I have games on there that will probably never be finished. I don't own a Playstation, so this is a cool chance for me to check these titles out. I was pretty stoked when FFX/X-2 came out and pre-ordered the Asian English version- I'm probably going to pick up DQ1/2/3 on cart in a few months after I finish DQ11.

Tempest Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I played the crap out the PS4 version and I loved it, although I could have done without the 'after story' part. As cool as this new version sounds, I can't see myself playing it again any time soon, I've just got too many things on my plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Salamon Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I played through the PS4 version last year and sold it soon after. I'm now waiting for the Switch version and will play through that one. I really enjoy the DQ titles. Speaking of which, I'll be grabbing DQ I, II and III this week on the e-shop. This will finally allow me to play all my mainline Dragon Quest games on my 3ds or my Switch. Now if they slide over DQ IV through IX to the e-shop I would be over the moon in excitement! (Really though... how big of a stretch is it to think this will happen? It's going to happen... right?!) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Lucky you dig dug i decided to take three games off my shelf to sell I barely touched I don’t see doing now. Vesperia and Capcpm belt action along with wonderboy. Pulled 12+ total last night. If I can’t find the time sell it to make some. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankJovine Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 A pure masterpiece. I've played through a lot of unforgettable JRPG's over the last few years, and Dragon Quest XI is easily one of the greatest. Please don't skip this game, it needs as much love as it deserves in the West. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Yeah you get it, it's not fun, but well it sucks but solves the issue when time is impossible. I'm semi tempted to do it with FF12 and Lost Sphear too. Octopath I need to keep going on with that one. Crash, Skyrim, Golf Story, MM11, Monsterboy, Pokemon, Ys 8 and even Mario are unfinished as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lot longer than I seem to remember it being when I played it back on the 360.

I've been hoping they will some day localize the SNES versions even though there's a patch for them (although II still has that nasty bug in it). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not certain but I do recall one website saying that these are the ios versions? I played DQ I on my phone and it was fine as the controls are not a big concern as you are using the direction for map movement. From the screenshot I saw as well, it was definitely not the NES version... maybe it's the SNES version? I've never saw SNES versions so I can't compare. One thing I enjoyed from the ios version I played is that they removed the 'stairs' menu option. That was a nice update that they made for it. It would be nice to see a company (like the former Prima books) make a strategy guide for all three of these games again. Not that we need them but those old games came with nice maps and fun to read manuals etc... it would be cool for a strategy guide to be available for these re-releases.

Well I had started on it, did a few hours, got to where you need to head into these woods I think as like a back way into the next area to avoid the enemy pursuit and I hadn't gone back because then other games came out. I kind of forgot that I had it on amazon preorder for like nearly 6mo. I easily can come back to it later, either on that, or on a really cheap Steam deal for PC. I figure I may get to it, if I do so late, that well you know, the next thing may be along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Im 50 hours into it (doing all side quests) and I think I'm only half way through. Loooong game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King_Salamon Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 So I Picked it up today and purchased DQ I from the eshop (still deciding if I want a physical cart of the trilogy or not) and started playing DQ I... it's all I've played today (oh and a round of Tetris 99 just because it's Tetris!). Tonight I should get some time in on this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digdugnate Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 i finished the game last night (well, to the credits) with about 85 hours in. looks like there's more to do yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybercylon Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I have been wondering if the Switch version is worth the price of admission since the PS4 version can be had for much less. On the other hand... to heck with it. I don't have time for either version....maybe I could carve some out if I spent less time reading about tacos.... ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 It's like a 100 hour game. I think the Switch version has more content and can play in a mode that makes it look like a SNES. I haven't even finished the demo, so if I buy and start the full game, I'm officially a not-so-smart person. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quests to do, worlds to save, Tocklings to find. *cries* without spoilers, there are some bosses i've run into that in the low 50s are just not doable for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Salamon Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Well I finished off DQI as it's a fun little romp! And I started up DQ XI earlier this week. Then we lost power from Thursday night until Sunday early morning. So while we were without power, I managed to play the 3 or so hours of charge on my Switch in the dark on DQ XI. Even though I played through the game on the PS4 (nearly to the end, I wanted to save a little bit for the Switch version!) I'm enjoying it much more in handheld mode. It's just easier to play for half and hour or longer with it playable anywhere. I'm a total of about 5 hours into the game, which is nothing but I'm enjoying the ride all over again! One day after I finish the game, I'll mess around with the 2d mode! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
