Divinity Original Sin 2 is a really good co op game. Me and my friend love playing that game and decided to play the premade characters the game had and found the story to be a lot more cooler with their backstories. There is also a lot of characters and ways for things to do that may not be obvious without a second playthough and knowing how the mechanics works together.

Heavily recommends the game if you are into fantasy and difficult but fair turn base games.

Hey everyone. I need to make a quick survey for a class. If you don't mind using a few minutes to fill this out that would be great. Here is the link.

Me and my friend loved the first game so we will try to get this one soon. I want to finally play as a Lich character and hopefully this game can make my dream come true!

I believe so, which is really weird because I didn't expect a turn based game to actually do that first. MGSV and other games had enemies that adapted to you but to my knowledge no game attempted to do the Nemesis system. If anything I would expect a Assassin Creed game to try to copy that system.

If the loot box system is a huge success then I would expect a lot more games trying to copy it to get some of that money.

I backed this game for a good bit of money a very long time ago and almost completely forgot about it. I understand if something happens and things need to be cut, even though I am disappointed at what was cut.

But when it is really close to release and you only announced what happened after someone else basically have to reveal that you cut things without saying a word is in pretty bad taste. All of these changes was made long before and yet only relatively recently was it announced.

Remember that this is not just an artist doing their craft, this is an entire company working on Torment with their own business people who will change the project just as much as the creators. To say that all of the cut content decisions came from the developers I would say is most likely false. People worked the numbers and calculated what to finish and what to cut out, hence why the Italian translation was taken out, it would not be profitable enough.

We will never know if the final project would be better with or without all the promises, what looks good on paper may not translate well in game. I am not going to witch hunt the developers for not keeping all their stretch goals, but I will condemn them for hiding it, or at the very least not being transparent on what has changed especially when they have regular updates.

I have been disappointed with most of the kickstarted games that I think I will not back another game in a very long time. This is one of the last projects that I am waiting full of hope to see what comes out of it. If this game becomes a great game then I think everyone will forgive them for it. Bioshock Infinite had cut content but the end product was really good and no one gave them too much hardship. No Man Sky also did not deliver on everything they promised and the game is considered mediocre at best to most people which led to extreme anger.

I am willing to wait and see. But I interested in more perspectives on this incident.

There was a small Fire Emblem Direct that talked about two new Fire Emblem games on the Switch. Fire Emblem Warriors this year and a new main line FE game for next year. Granted Warriors is also going to be on the New 3DS but usually lower quality to how a home console version. There is also another Fire Emblem game coming out this May as well for 3DS which I believe will be the last big game for the 3DS.

I honestly cannot think of any last gen consoles with an AMAZING line up their first year. I do not recall the Xbox One and PS4 having a good first year or even a decent second year. Last console I believe that had an amazing launch was the original Xbox with Halo as a big system seller.

Granted with how low WiiUs sold (imo I had a good value with all the things I bought for it) I can believe that Zelda will be a great console seller for people who did not get a WiiU.

I asked whether or not to play DQ7 on 3DS a while back.

I decided to play DQ7 and from there decide on what to do. This is my first Dragon Quest game and so I just want to talk a bit about what happens and my thoughts on this game, I hope you enjoy!

OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE SPOILERS SO CONSIDER THIS YOUR WARNING

This game starts out pretty slowly. The music just sounds fantastic and I love how everyone looks, I loved Dragon Balls and how Akira Toriyama draws his characters.

I like the time traveling aspect of everything. You with your friends go to different islands in the past and save them from whatever demon was controlling them. You then go to your present, which is hundreds of years later, and see whatever happens to the islands. I love how each island had different events that isn’t just everyone living happily ever after you saved them in the past. A few of the islands made me feel bittersweet on what happens to them.

I also love how your party and how many people will react to what is happening. I didn’t know you could tell Kiefer’s sister when happened to him and how some people in your island will react to whatever island you made appear. Some islands have mini quests line things where you get to resolve to help people but are mostly just there to help resolve some character arcs, which are nice.

The little bit of dialog your party will say once in a while is also nice. Not only do they have something to say after major events but even when you are just talking to no named people in town they may have something to say!

There are a few islands that stand out to me and that I would like to talk about them:

Regenstein:

Frobisher:

Greenthumb Gardens:

Alltrades Abbey:

Al-Balad:

Grondal:

El Ciclo:

Wetlock:

Providence:

Nottagen:

Hubble:

Vogograd:

DEMON KING FIGHT:

SUPER SPOILERS:

My thoughts on the party:

The Hero:You would think after saving the world your dad would let you not do chores or the king would probably give you a bigger house or something.

Kiefer:Nice arc with him. Also nice of him to give back all the stuff he takes from you after he leaves.

Maribel:She was my only mage when she left my party, which was a rough time. Kind of a jerk but she is our jerk.

Ruff:I like when he sits down that the wolf would be sitting next to him, that’s a nice touch. Good kid, reminds me of kid Goku.

Mervyn:You would think being a legendary hero would mean your stats would be fantastic right? Nice guy but no one talks like him at all, even in his time period.

Aishe: Like Maribel but not a jerk. I thought there was some hints of attractions when she talks to the Hero. I don’t know if the Bro Code allows you to date a long distant decedent of your best buddy. I liked her but I didn't really know what to do with her classwise.

Overall I really enjoyed my time with this game. A lot of puzzles are really vague and I had to look up what to do when I missed a key clue or the game is just trying to screw with you. Music was great but can get pretty samey at the end. I really like the story but not sure if this is the one I would personally recommend newcomers to play, then again I didn’t play the others as well.

I plan on getting the Dragon Quest 8 remake with a gift card I was given at Christmas and enjoying it. Looking at some of the footage it looks leaps and bounds ahead of DQ7.

Sorry if something is missing or I didn’t mention a scene but these are what I was thinking when I finished this game. This is not really a review of this game but more of just mentioning some moments of it.

Thank you the people who recommend me to play this.

Thank you for the people who warned me, I understand now why this game probably should not be the first game in this series to play.

And Thank you for reading! (or skipping though this).

So with no definitive answer on what I should do I decided to start with DQ7. People are saying that DQ8 is the superior game over all so I rather not play 8 then go back to 7 and see how much better 8 is gameplay wise to 7. I feel like I would appreciate the changes much more if I played an older entry to the series. Luckly no other games are on my radar to play for quite a while and I could use another long JRPG to play, it has been a while.

@justin258: If i get DQ7 now I would not playing 8 right when it releases. I am just wondering if 7 was good enough that I should just play that then do 8 later in the year or if I should just wait for 8.

Hey everyone,

I have been looking for a good RPG for my N3DS and I wanted to wait for the Dragon Quest 8 remake that is coming out in January. I am around the end of Pokemon Sun and I wanted another Big JRPG to play pretty soon. I did not play any of the other Dragon Quest games but I have played other JRPGs.

So I was wondering how well DQ7 is holding up and if it is worth playing for someone who wants to get into this series for the first time.
