@Xain

wow you got banned for THAT?, they DO only care about sales. thats why i am getting so much "Who CARES!" replies x_x;

It was very harsh, he says fanboy once and gets banned, i see waron say it in most of his posts and it gets ignored.

DQ IX must be really bad if people say that DQ VIII was a lot better.

 I can second this. Has there ever been a good Dragon Quest?


have you ever played dragon quest??? you havent right.

Unfortunately for me, yes I have.

Which one?

VIII all the way through, including beating the real last boss. 3 hours logged on either IV or V DS remake, I can't remember which.

Best just to drop this. I have almost nothing nice to say about that series, so let's not derail.



I thought it might be disappointing when I heard about the create your own characters feature. In these types of games, I like it when strong characters are already there and you uncover their stories like FFVI or FFX instead of making your own characters like Kotor or Mass Effect and maybe this new DQ.

All of it? especially the laughable art style... it looked.. childish. DQ8 didn't have that.

Achievement is its own reward, pride only obscures.

HATING OPHELIA- Coming soon from Markosia Comics!

I think the major complaint is that it's too easy.

Too late if it is getting bad reviews. All of Japan has it now.



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

I wonder how many of those poor reviews are honest reviews, and how many are just expressions of fanboy rage? It does strike me as odd that a game (even Dragon Quest) can truly be an overwhelmingly 1-star product...and that we can decide this less than a day after release.

Yes, IV-VI are wonderful games and even III is pretty solid if you pick up the GBC or SuFami remake(s). (VII and VIII, however, are pretty weak entries in the series.)

I can't believe Square Enix would let this happen. Great, now for all I know FFXIII sucks/is mediocre and DQX is just as good as this DQ is.


What does DQIX have to do with the quality of FFXIII? The DQIX department isn't made by the Final Fantasy team, AND Dragon Quest IX was made by LEVEL-5 NOT Square-Enix. Square probably did write the story though.



*giggles*

It's Dragon Quest. Reviews don't mean much because you already know what you're getting into. I doubt this is much more than obsessed fans nitpicking (since most of the negative "reviews" people have been squawking about here are just people bitching on amazon).

And Dragon Quest VIII was awesome. Chew on that you damn haters.

VIII was awesome, one of the best RPG I have played. Whatever thats just personal preferences. Fortunately, about 6-7 million people won't think like you and will buy DQIX.
