I almost finished it I think (played 70+ hours, was in backlog). Good game so far. Bought the Switch version because you get the orchestral score (which is so much better than the usual synth soundtrack), the SNES style 2D mode + extras and the japanese voices. I tried the english ones, but I prefer the japanese. Graphics are good enough, nothing to worry. You can try the demo from the eshop for free, if you're skeptical.

That's ok, scouring the market.

It's the best game of the generation and not even the Switch version can take that away.

Good game, respect your opinion. HZD is mine personally.



If you liked the game on one of its other versions, sure. It's pretty identical barring the resolution downgrade, but it has additions that make it worthwhile. For that reason, it's one of the best ports done to date on Switch, if not the best one.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first. 

It is a great game on any system, I encourage all to buy it.

It's fantastic. I put like 200 hours into it. I even did the true final boss. One of the best looking games on the system and the prime example how to do UE4 games on Switch right by 3rd party developers. There is an 8-hour demo on Eshop and your progress transfers over to the real game. The fixed music helps it a lot. Additional stories and costumes are a very welcome addition. Having the DQ8 overworld music never got old.

DQ any good on Switch? Want to give the game another go, PC is under construction until April.

It's actually one of the best PS4 to Switch ports out there and one of the best looking Switch games...

I couldn't agree with you more and its pretty insane how good this game looks on Switch and makes every other RPG on the system look like they slacked off big time! FE Three Houses and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 I'm looking at you...

That's the greatest thread title I've ever seen.

Anyways, if you're talking about DQXI, there's a 10 hour demo on the eShop, and I think you can transfer your progress, so yea.

See I don't get that. Why would the publisher of DQ11 put a demo of that game on the eShop and not on the PSN? Makes no sense to me. The point of a demo is to make people want to buy the game by trying it so what gives here? Is our PS4 money not as good as Switch money?

Of course I don't per se need a demo of that specific game cause I already know I want to play it but a demo would be nice nonetheless. If for whatever reason they don't plan to make a demo then fine but making a demo on one platform and not on the others is just double standards.
