The Erdrick’s Sword pull sets a new course for the series. This would be the first time a core series game call back to a completely existing trilogy. I suppose they broke ranks with DQX and canned the old “loose” trilogy idea. Because up until now, we had 1-3 (Loto), 4-6 (Zenithia), and 7-9 (Heaven). With 10, we…

To some degree I agree and disagree. The field/world graphics look fine and are in-line with the other 3D games. But I do agree that the DQ Heroes style graphics for the heroes doesn’t work in this case, mostly because the heroes themselves are so drab and generic looking. At least in DQ Heroes, we had established…

In all honesty, I’m more excited for the 3DS version than the console version. As a long time huge fan of the series, I feel like the console version looks kind of generic. The heroes look extremely generic and dropping the cel shading / anime style was kind of a mistake IMO.

I was going through the list like “That’s...not fucking God Hand....not fucking God Hand...not fucking G- oh there’s God Hand”

I know a 100lb Japanese girl named Mika who I used to work with in Misawa who could plow through this in less than 20 minutes. She routinely surprised me at how quickly she’d destroy giant bowls of ramen when we went out to eat.

On the plus side, they did bring back Crystal Pepsi.

OMFG! WINDJAMMERS!

Ugh...fucking Nadine? She was the worst thing about Uncharted 4. Such a frustratingly annoying character. I hope she’s barely in this one otherwise I might skip it.

I didn’t say MGS was a one-hit wonder; I said it was his The Sixth Sense. Metal Gear 1 on NES/MSX were both great, MG2 on MSX was great...he peaked at MGS1 and then lost his fucking marbles...much like M.Night Shymalan and George Lucas. They gave Kojima too much praise, power and money and he went full retard.

Kojima is the George Lucas of gaming. He did better under constraints and budget. They gave him too much praise/power and money and turned a great series into a CGI mess of confusion and lunacy. Just like someone else.

Yeah well I got a coffee cup that says #1 Dad so I guess I should really take that to heart.

“He did a really good thing once! Praise him forever!” is the same stupid argument as “You said something racist once! Ruin him!”. The guy made a few good titles pre-PS2...it doesn’t make him a god. Everything else he’s been involved in since then have been overblown tripe.

No, you got it all wrong....peaked with MGS1. and in my house, we don’t even talk about MGS after 2.

Yeah, don’t voice my opinion because I have one! Fuck me, right?

More like the George Lucas of video games. He did better without boatloads of money, total freedom, and surrounded by yes men.

Thank you. Citizen Kane was a bore. The sad thing is that there were at least 2-3 other films that came out that year or a couple years before that were vastly greater, yet all the film snobs will tell you how stupid you are for not “getting it”.

I saw Citizen Kane, movie wasn’t even that good

I’m actually not upset about the Snake swap at all; and wasn’t when I first played. The main character is the most minor of problems with that game. The gameplay isn’t a problem at all...everything else about the game is retarded.

Not jaded, just not a blind follower of a series just because it was once great. I also don’t care for Final Fantasy after 7, and even back when it first came out, I didn’t see FF7 as the godsend everyone else still sees it as. FF6 was the last great one IMO.

MG1 (both NES and MSX) and MG2 and MGS1 were all fantastic. This was before they decided to take the series down the retard road...assuming we continue to ignore and negate Snake’s Revenge.
