OT: Waypoint hated it, So you know it's good!
Glad it's well-received among the actual RPG enthusiast sites.
I look forward to Waypoint's review of the new Senra Kagura game coming out in October.
don't worry, by the time i play the game you'd probably got it's platinum and forgot about itI have zero issue about him give the game honest try and he just didn't like it, everyone has their own prefernces. The problem becomes after it when he goes hyperbole about it and call it worst game he ever played and how overrated it is. Seriously you should see his post about Valkyria Chronicles.
Why should I forget about it!!?don't worry, by the time i play the game you'd probably got it's platinum and forgot about it
Why should I forget about it!!?
That needs to be on the box.OT: Waypoint hated it, So you know it's good!
Let me just stop for a second and say I love Sylvando. His intro chapter devotes several hours to his totally queer-eyeing the toxic masculinity right clean out of this cowardly prince of a horse-worshipping desert kingdom.
In this day and age where almost every single player game tries to be "deep" and mature i appreciate that there are still some games with simple archetypical stories. And in Dragon Quest's case i think (based on the DQ games i've played) it was always more about the characters and the journey than the story itself which for me is perfectly fine.Why does this series have such a lazy story EVERY SINGLE TIME?
Agreed, Dragon Quest is the opposite of Final Fantasy storywise and I like them both. FF always has a super convoluted out of this world story. DQ's story is more linear and with less nonsensical plot twists.In this day and age where almost every single player game tries to be "deep" and mature i appreciate that there are still some games with simple archetypical stories.

Also DQ series might not have complicated story like some other JRPGs but the characters are absolutely charming. DQVIII was like that for me.Agreed, Dragon Quest is the opposite of Final Fantasy storywise and I like them both. FF always has a super convoluted out of this world story.

I agree with the Waypoint review personally, the series hasn't evolved. Final Fantasy games, for their various flaws, typically experiment and try new things with every iteration. Outside of graphics, Dragon Quest has barely changed in decades. The series is only enjoyable if you want some very glossy nostalgia to old JRPGs with an uninteresting story and basic gameplay.
So I read the Waypoint review because I needed to get angry apparently and this is, I shit you not, an actual quote from the review:
Which is followed up by this beauty:
We don't deserve Dragon Quest.
Some parts just made me go "What drugs are you on?". This quote, though, takes the cake in the cringe department:
If there's a social justice angle to be had, Waypoint will dig through a 100 hour game to find the hour that offended them and talk about it for 50% of their review. They also bitch about the country accents and call it racist. I didn't know France and Italy and Cambodia were races.
Isn't Waypoint run by Vice? That should tell you everything you need to know about them right there.So I read the Waypoint review because I needed to get angry apparently and this is, I shit you not, an actual quote from the review:

You will feel right at home.I never played a DQ game, how does the gameplay compare to FF? (pre FFX, I only cared for FF from 7 to 9).
+1. Excellent referenceDragon Quest: This One Goes To XI
Yeah, I don't understand how can Pokemon gets free pass for this? Also Pokemon games gets released much more frequently than Dragon Quest does.Typical IGN review, old rpg combat, 8 out of 10. Pokemon still using old rpg combat lets give every Pokemon game a 9 out of 10.
Kotaku review is up: https://kotaku.com/dragon-quest-xi-the-kotaku-review-1828646512
1st sentence: Dragon Quest XI is the best game in the 32-year-old series.
Looks like IGN is jumping on the SJW train also, goto 3:38

There's nothing wrong with puff puff.He's complaining about a optional side quest also, which you don't even have to do. And complained about puff puff, which also you don't have to do. Its like he went out his way just to find these things and complain about them.
This review is awful. Talks about himself more than the game, and the writing itself is... something else.Kotaku review is up: https://kotaku.com/dragon-quest-xi-the-kotaku-review-1828646512

That's the sjw M.O.
Don't enjoy something for what it is, dig as deep as you possibly can to find something that makes you upset and then let everyone know about it.
Any spoilers?I liked the kotaku review. It's a 30 minute video with one throwaway joke line about toxic masculinity. Don't let it push you away. He's a huge fan and did a great job explaining things the game does new, things it does old, and why all of it is good.
So far happy console gamer has the best reviewGotta get them clicks somehow I guess.
But seriously - I just want to enjoy the latest game in a long running franchise that I've immensely enjoyed over the past 30 years. I don't really need someone telling me why I shouldn't like it, I want to watch a review so I can be informed about what to expect. Everything is so negative these days.
Any spoilers?
Thanks, I'll give it a look then.Not in what he says. The footage he shows is some probably early monster boss fights and cutscenes/battling, but nothing that seemed like a spoiler.
Not having orchestra music doesn't mean its broken or unplayable.Man I hope a PC mod fixes that music, there's no way in hell I'm playing this as is.
