/vr/ - Retro Games

Out of the main Dragon Quest games for me:

5 = 8 = 3 = 4 > 2 = 1 > 6 = 9 = 7

I've only played the GBC version of 2 which might explain why I didn't find it as frustrating as most of you, I just disliked the characters in 6, and I hated 7 which I got on the PSX when it came out. 7 was, and still is boring as hell to me, and 9 was not nearly as enjoyable to me as 3 was. I'd rather just replay 3 than even look at 9 again.

And yeah, I did like 8 a lot. Bitchin' music, and graphics, fun characters, good voice acting and sidequests. I fucking loved that shit goddammit. The real problem with 8 was that they didn't explain the skill system very well. But I got over it.

Generally I liked 3 for gameplay and grinding, it just hits a real sweet spot in terms of gameplay difficulty, and I liked pretty much all the versions of it I've played.

Five and four just have nice characters and quests. I liked the gameplay of 4 just a bit more.

I've now played most of the Dragon Quest Monster games, and I wish they'd release that shit in the States. I loved DQM1 and 2 when I was younger, and really enjoyed the DS game (hated the multiplayer), I'd be stoked to buy a remake of 2.

Shit do I love Dragon Quest.

King slime is best slime.
