Congrats to builders. Dragon quest doing well on Playstation this gen it seems. Excellent decision bringing the series back there.

Sony's Japan president didn't lied when he told to Hori on TGS Stage 2014 ''welcome back home!'' Dragon Quest appeared on a Nintendo platform first like FF but it's heart and souls beats better on Playstation systems ;)

Yeah it's great having so much FF and Dragon quest on Playstation this gen.  The former was badly missed last gen for sure.

I feel personally this isn't something I can applaud for, as it feels like it borrows a lot from Minecraft to the point where it is essentially MC with Dragon Quest characters in it. Using the success to of another game to sell your own is not something I can applaud, and I expected better of Square Enix.

You would be very very wrong.

That is basically the same as "this game has guns - so this game is Halo" or "this game has jumping so it is mario".

just because it has harvesting and building doesn't make it minecraft.

Yes, I understand that there are games that borrow elements from others, but this looks to take the whole MC aspect to it, down to its blocky appearance. This isn't like platformers being similar, or FPSs using guns. The look and feel is very much that of MC.

Roketan and Kerotan are here !  Are they different person ?

Different people, similar opinions, about similar tastes, and dislike for similar company (you can easily guess which one). Honestly I can easily see the confusion. 

I am curious on the game, I prefer picking up Heroes first.

Maybe this person lives in the UK and didn't see the game anywhere on TV and shit. 

Where do you live? And did you see any commercial on your TV or ''shit''? I didn't see a single commercial. Heck i didn't even see any promotion online and i am broswing tons of videogame sites everyday.

The only joke here is that Builders had a marketing campaign.

I live in Australia and I sometimes see it on Cartoon Network, but mostly on Youtube. 

 

Sooo are you from the UK?

Makes me happy to see that japanese games are doing good in our countries:)

Not to burst your bubble, but all three of those titles sold like garbage in UK. This isn't an accomplishment... unless you consider <5k as an accomplishment and/or "good".

I consider all of it commically bad, and irrelevant.

I know it's not that great, but it's only u.k and if these games sells good around europe and america, it's good for future games too

Infiniminer, a game that came out before Minecraft.

This is how gaming progresses.

To be fair, DQ found some success on the DS with IX being the best selling game of the franchise. The 3DS is also getting some great content from DQ, though unfortunately it doesn't translate to solid sales overseas. Hopefully VIII can do better.
