Whats the consensus on the DQ remakes for the gameboy color and DS?

as much as I like gameplay I think a game isn't complete without a good story, in fact story is what raises games from a kids hobby to a hobby for anyone

definition of based or definition of Soul ?

"Nintendo" didn't hate RPGs, but Yamauchi criticized RPG fans at one point, apparently. Although I've never seen real source of that quote, could be yet another of the many lies western journos invented about him.

Why do I find the "open world" of old semi-linear RPGs to be so much more rewarding to explore than modern open world games?

Does Dragon Quest have any unique elements that make it a valuable game even today? Or is it's legacy firmly rooted in "making CRPGs accessible to the mainstream" and "it was good for the time?"

I want to talk about the history of the RPG video game. We all know it began as a simulation of the tabletop RPG experience but I feel discussion beyond that is sparce. How long do you think the genre tied into D&D, when did it become it's own thing, if ever? Is it still linked to the tabletop experience? Is the name "RPG" archaic or does it sill accurately describe the genre? Since RPGs started as a way to abstract things that couldn't be performed in reality of by video games of the time, do you think they are becoming obsolete now that we have the technology to adapt those systems in a more literal, action gameplay manner?

Fuck you Tyler.

I feel like I would have gotten into this series more if you had returned it.
