The Return of the King

I'm so fricking high on copium right now but honestly, I just want everyone who plays Pokémon seriously to get stomped out by what a real Monster Collector is. The Switch is a fricking graveyard for the genre but that won't stop me from wishing Monsters the absolute best on it's (futile) revitalization.

      I’m surprised the censorship on a game aimed at 12 year olds is what bothers you mongoloids, not the fact that there are Dreamcasts games with better graphics than this, or that the game still runs like ass in spite of it. Seriously, why couldn’t they just reuse assetts from XI, it’s just so butt ugly.

          11 had monsters on the world map too though
          My assumption is the lower poly look is so they can reuse some of the monsters from the 3DS games with some touchups instead of having to make higher quality models for everything

            the lower poly look is because the game has 0 budget since Square are israelites and need to funnel budget into games like final fantashit despite the fact that series has been floundering in sales since forever.

            Square and Enix merging was a disaster for the DQ series.

        It's a conceptual argument and saying you are surprised means you'll never get it.
        It's like Jordan Peterson and the compelled speech stuff. It's the principle of the matter at the crux of it, not the general issue itself.

        I'm a reasonable guy, I can understand changing something if you decide that it is too risque. The choice itself is risque but you can justify it in ways that make sense.
        You can't do that for DQ girls that panhandle for cash by dancing for pervy men or that have charm effects or sexy beam attacks. The character itself is inherently sexual, censoring aspects of them years later is a conceptual nightmare. They were created as these sexy objects in a playful manner.
        When you censor it you are telling me you don't see it in a playful manner. I do see it in a playful manner and it's a game. It isn't meant to be taken seriously enough that you censor it.
        We aren't talking about Nazi depictions freaking modern day germans out, were talking about things designed to be sexy from the outset.

        I know it's hip to pile on the absolute state of Pokemon right now but you're a fricking moron if you think DQM is better and has a fifth of its gameplay depth. DQ and its spinoff will always be the most casualized, dumbed down RPG series in the market.

          All things DQM has and more, including having battles that are 4v4 instead of 1v1.

          DQM has all of these. It even handles elemental damage way better. Every monster has a whole status page on what they're resistant and weak to. It's not the dominant strategy you apply to all situations.

                That's a cool mechanic and only born from having the monsters be AI beetle battle proxies to start with.
                I liked using monsters and seeing what type of "personality" the monster has based on it's attacks or defending or the like.

                I like the simplicity of DQ games and the rare complexity works as a funny moment more than anything big brained. Take DQ11 and Sylvando. He resists almost all charm effects from female enemies. In DQ 8 Angelo would fall for it from those sexy witch monsters more than my 8 or Yangus did.

          I loved Siralim, but it's an RNG dungeon delve sim. It doesn't have the same feeling as the few fixed worlds and then RNG key worlds that Monsters 2 had. It felt so immense in scale and scope, and the shit that could happen in those worlds was crazy. Pacing was also excellent, Monsters was fairly fast while Siralim is a grind sim. Similar in goal but really different in execution.

      They typically have dungeons. The tournaments are a staple of the series and usually play into plot progression but there is a story at play, usually tied to whatever game the installment is spun-off from. In this case, DQIV.

          He's just giving a concise breakdown on how the methodology of the censorship is working because the shills try to catch you in fallacies.
          Establishing a consistent pattern in the modifications points to it being a directive and the people noticing aren't just being paranoid. There really has been a dedicated attempt to remove the sexual elements to the women (who often have their sexual nature part of their character all the way down into how their combat operates).

          There just hasn't been a big game in a while. That and most of the doujin scene getting devoured by gacha games

          DQ11 was recent and we saw the success it had due to Nintendo marketing.

          Dragon Quest Builders 2 sold that well?

          The rumors are it sold really well for what it was but SE has no interest in it only the director of those games cared and he has left SE.

              Ganker is where I learned what the canon names of the yuushas were before they had canon names in the west, because anons care a frickload about DQ due to it's quality and consistency.
              The quality and consistency was a meme about the series, most of the complains surround that quality and consistency not being of the same standard as the past.

                The problem with canon names is that some of them have multiple names, and not just in the jump from japanese to english. Like V's hero being Abel or Luka/Ruka. Or his son being Cooper, Rex, Timmy, Alus, or Parry.
                Although I suppose they're bad examples since they have in-game default names, as opposed to other Heroes whose only source of names come from Audio Dramas and the like.

          Dragon Quest 11 having the Jade/boogey arc felt like they were begging doujin artists to make content from the game. Like it actually felt desperate and cloying like they knew they wouldn't be a presence in that sphere without it and they needed to be a presence there.

            Same. To me it was the difference between a piggish man rubbing his own manbreasts and licking his lips when seeing a hot chick vs a sophisticated pervert giving a slight head nod or nose flick in the direction you should look to see the goods.
            DQ always felt like the sophisticated pervert, that was the first time it felt like an ugly fat bastard was in the room with me.

            It seems to be multiple people all doing their own short sex stories, if that helps.

            Sounds cool but also sounds like there isn't enough demand for DQ smut anymore so they had to pool together to make something. I've molested myself to worse things.

        Most of the doujins I recognize are a dedicated artist spamming his waifus. They all tend to filter into a niche like that. Raita made his own canon but it's the same concept.
        Even a group like Motchie just keeps doing the same types of content. These people know what works and doesn't and when they find something that works they stick with it until they burn out.

        That whole Hunter Mech/Killing Machine family of monsters goes SO hard.

          I kind of love them ever after the DQV story with the dying scientist.
          Also, they are usually the first monster that will do double attacks per turn like a boss so they tend to frick you up good.

        That fusion (Mazin) might be in Monsters 3! Fingers crossed for sure because I like him too. It won't work the same way as it did in 8 though.

      These lil homies are the coolest monsters in the newer age.
      I love monsters that have turn wasting attacks that tell a story of some sort. Jailcats being high and staring off into space is a close second for that.

        Think we'll be required to make a RogueNite as part of the story?

    There's a ton of monsters introduced in DQM2 I haven't seen back, and they're some of my favorites.
    Where's my fricking SHARK WITH AN AXE?

    >60fps on emulator
    Kind of regretting ordering the physical copy. I guess it'll sit pretty on my shelf.

      Nevermind I lied. Drops to 20-30 in the field just like the Switch demo. Battles are 60 but have studders.

      No, this is.
      The blue guy is Toilen from DQV
      >But 4 and 5 are set thousands of years apart, how does that make sense?
      Not sure yet. Or if the game cares.

    It's a remarkably... okay game. $60 is a ridiculous ask for this, let alone $85. I don't think I'll continue this.

      That's how I feel about a lot of games recently, Persona 5 Tactica was an alright game, too easy on even the highest difficulty, but the kicker was that it was just like 20 hours to get to the end and see everything, and that's with them recycling every major boss once to stretch out the little content they made

        Probably some random consumable junk set.

        I just redeemed it and I got the preorder DLC. Probably just a handful of consumable items.

    all the day 1 dlc killed the hype for me, don't even think I'll bother emulating. It's just a bad look and there's too much other stuff out there.
