That seems well above expectations for a shoddy port.

>>15532660

Could have been worse. Anyone else having problems posting and with 502 errors?

>>15532664

Nowadays anything sub 500k is a massive flop.

>>15532664

Could have been worse but nowadays anything sub 500k is a massive flop. Codemonkey let me post.

Pretty much all japanese ports to PC have issues because they're still learning how to do them. It comes with the territory.

>>15532702

That's not an excuse. This is not the first time.

>>15532714

If they don't sell enough there's no good reason to put effort into the port.

>>15532691

>disabling camera control on the model viewer for female enemies despite saying they wouldn't censor the game

wew!

>>15532707

>>15532691

>>15532735

I could forgive denuvo but censoring the game is never acceptable.

>>15532750

>>15532707

>>15532750

As far as I'm aware the costume related censorship is in the Jap version as well. No idea about the camera stuff though.

>>15532660

Did they even advertise the damn game? The only reason I knew it was coming out was because of a thread here of all places.

>>15532672

If expectations for that one Tomb Raider game are any consideration, even sub-10 million is considered a flop these days.

>>15532764

>Did they even advertise the damn game?

No, they never do and they never will. That guy who streamed all 9 games like a retard did more to advertise this series than Square ever did, barring the FF12 demo.

>>15532771

In 8 they were censored for the 3DS remake even in Japan.

>>15532783

I tough that they sold a like 1 million copies of Dragon Quest Builder.

>>15532782

I was referring specifically to the original DQ8. The 3DS version is dead to me. I would've loved to have Red playable with sexy outfits though…

>>15532794

They barely sold a million units of 11 even in Japan.

>>15532797

I know. I just wanted to break your heart even more.

>>15532804

>>15532794

We're still getting a Builders 2.

>>15532782

>censored for the 3DS remake even in Japan

Who is responsible for this should commit seppuku to try and make up for their dishonor.

>>15532804

If you add up the PS4 and 3DS versions they sold more than 3 millions copies of XI.

>>15532821

Square as a whole needs to commit seppuku.

>>15532823

I meant to mention the PS4 version specifically there, yeah. Seems like Japan already forgot about it.

>>15532823

Yeah, the J-wiki has them both at around 1.7 million. Isn't steam spy an unreliable source of info as well now that valve did a restructure update? Plus there's ps4 sales to account for–I'd say 500k+ is a conservative estimate.

>>15532834

Whats wrong with DQXI?

I beat it and it seemed like it was a perfectly fine DQ game to me.

Why would I trust a site giving a shoddy estimate that can be a whole 100,000 off as a valid source?

>>15532842

One beef I keep hearing is people saying it's a little too easy.

>>15532851

There's a town that speaks in haiku and every other one has random European accents.

>>15532857

I've never known DQ games to be particularly hard, outside a few odd bosses here and there.

>>15532873

The original DQ II is stupid hard.

>>15532869

Exactly, it's a dumb complaint when you can customize draconian quest's parameters.

>>15532873

I think the reputation stems from normalfags being stupid and not realizing how vital kabuff, insulatle, and acceleratle are, or that instant death works 80% of the time.

>>15532771

It strikes that Square-Enix, at least the western branch, holds series offered by the Square side in favor (aside from SaGa, maybe, and assuming a given franchise is still alive), and thus pushes them much harder here than what Enix brought them. And in terms of rereleases, while there's certainly still various Square games missing from the western PSN and VC (BFM, SaGa Frontier 1 and 2 for instance), it's very telling that none of Enix's old games, ActRaiser aside, have been given the treatment: no Dragon Quest I-IV or VII, no Valkyrie Profile, no Star Ocean PS1, no Quintet games (beyond the aforementioned ActRaiser). Hell, as far as official availability, Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth, Star Ocean: First Departure, and Star Ocean: Second Evolution have remained UMD only here, locking them to the PSP instead of allowing Vita compatibility (though I would assume a hacked Vita can run ripped ISOs, but I can't say for sure). And then there's that Second Evolution got a PS4 port that's remained Japan only. Really comes off as disdain for properties Enix had held when they've been left to the aftermarket and piracy zone if you ask me.

>>15532793

I'd say marketing has a big factor to whether a game can do adequately here. Looking at something like Tales, the PS1 games we first saw, Destiny and Eternia ("Destiny II" here in burgerland) sold absolutely horribly out here with very little advertising that I can find (I know Destiny got into that extra "Namco Booklet" their PS1 games like Klonoa could get, and I've seen a single print sheet add for Eternia), to the point we didn't get Destiny 2, and it wouldn't shock me if Namco, as far as on their own terms, had decided that there wasn't a market here. Then when NoA offered to front the localization bills and handle marketing on Symphonia here for Namco, suddenly that game did extremely well in comparison. Namco, being Namco, didn't learn much from that, and to my knowledge acted as if they could ride Symphonia's popularity for Legendia and Abyss, which didn't do nearly as well (and Legendia in particular being a very odd entry didn't help its case, either). Vesperia at least got a decent western trailer while Graces f's English trailer didn't make it seem too appealing. It took until Xillia for Bamco to actually try to give decently marketing the series themselves a decent shot, and surprise surprise, the game either did close to as good as Symphonia or better in sales, to the point they went ahead and cleared X2 out here on pre-order numbers alone, before X1 had even reached store shelves. Point being, niche games actually benefit from proper marketing. Unfortunately, Square seems to act like it's been much safer for them to dump far more than is needed to push stuff like Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts, which are already "household name" tier and really don't need the push, whereas Dragon Quest would need both awareness of a new game, but also a building of series awareness since Enix and Square-Enix don't seem to have tried to enough.

>>15532873

Replay the original trilogy on NES and say that again.

>>15532728

>>15532728

>buy it now so they'll maybe do it properly next time!

Fuck off, it's not like it's a small studio.

Anyways who is that autistic suit who wants SE to be the Final Fantasy company?

>>15532898

I played a good bit of 1 and its nothing more than a grinding simulator when it comes to difficulty.

Good, Dragon Quest is garbage and Toriyama should be hanged.

>>15532821

Probably Square since VIII sold really well in the west so they had no excuse not to bring it over.

Then they decided to censor the jap version too so people can't complain about the versions not being the same

>>15532851

U WOT

STONE THE CROWS

COR BLIMEY

'ALLO GUV

>>15532879

I've never played that one so I wouldn't know. I have played a good sampling of the series though and I can't think of a boss that strikes me as terribly difficult. Not including post game super bosses.

That's really good for a PC game. If it's that high on PC it should be several hundreds of thousands on console.

>>15532915

They then went and botched the soundtrack for both it and the 7 remake overseas for no good reason. 7 also had terrible menu lag and a crashing bug that was extremely common which was never fixed as far as I'm aware.

>>15532916

Original II is weird because sizzle, kabuff, and kasap are bugged to the enemy version damage range and to affect defense by 12.5% respectively. A few monsters have really bullshit abilities as well, like the frostburns exploding to kill at least one party member every time.

>>15532880

>I JUST WANT A STRAIGHT TRANSLATION WHY IS THIS SO HARD?

I've heard rumor that someone with power at Square, either the western or eastern branch, has had it in their head that the "LOL SO FAHHNY" accents make the games stand out and provide reason to buy them here after VIII started it. And sadly I've seen plenty of western fans over the years say they do make the games charming for them. Granted, accents work a lot better with actual voicing, instead of text only, but unless being used for a couple valid reasons, they're an extraneous cost. Unfortunately, weighing the additional editing costs against potential profit to be made was probably what led to the second "NOGAEMS" period of the series here (the 3DS/Wii era). And then there's also the censorship/content removal aspects, like cutting party chat in IV DS because the accenting was expensive enough without doing so for it too. Also the renaming of shit, be it for puns or just because.

Would be nice if the series at least allowed for custom spell names, like how Wild Arms used to. Would at least help bypass one issue.

>>15532913

Also the issue that when they were going to bring the Romancing SaGa 2 and 3 remakes west, they only wanted to do so for mobile, at least at first. Considering how few Square-Enix owned vita games made it west, I think the western branch also had a lot of spite for the Vita. That said, I'm not sure I trust modern Square translation quality with either of those games.

>>15532928

>Also the renaming of shit, be it for puns or just because.

9 really over did it with the fucking puns.

>>15532923

That and the final boss can cast heal all whenever he wants.

Also the cave to Rhone is fucking bullshit, oh and the final stretch that makes you fight 4 bosses that respawn if you save your game.

>>15532906

You could say the same about any old fashioned RPG, faggot. Go kill slimes for a week and you could probably take on a dragon.

The original DQ trilogy is incredibly hard for the genre with how it forces you to think about risk and reward and plan your adventure, battles, rest, and shopping. You have to always keep money and time in your mind.

I'm holding out for the switch release, both for the physical copy and the fact that the PC version likely has Denuvo.

>>15532928

I thought IV's party chat was bugged and squenix was too fat and lazy to fix it with a second printing, hence it being there immediately for the mobile version. It wouldn't make any sense for them to spend more money for a quick cash in.

As for the RS ports, they're just barely above NISA tier.

>>15532936

>>>/ara/ is your friend anon.

>>15532950

Plus the 3DS exclusive content–whether that is in HD or the original sprites is anyone's guess.

>>15532942

You don't have to think too hard when you can just curb stomp everything after that week of grinding.

The worst thing about 1 is that you have to go around aimlessly following incredibly minor clues as to where to go.

As soon as I made it to the to the area that was supposed to have the crypt of the legendary bard or some shit I got stuck as fuck, apparently I had to go through a god damn secret passage way. Fuck that gay shit I might as well look up a guide then.

>Steam metrics

topkek, what kind of fucking margin of error is that? Absolutely trash

also how did it do on consoles?

>>15532660

Not really marketed and then some fags wanted the 3ds version and some are waiting for the switch version(for some reason) but I doubt it will come out.

Don't know how much they censored the game but I kinda think that SE is kinda afraid of the game when it comes to the west, also this is a weeb game so the weebs would probably have bought it already but there are some stores that don't carry any JRPGs and that trend of not carrying games I've kinda disturbingly seen more and more from.

I bought Valkyria Chronicles 4 on xbone and the reason for xbone is because they did not have the game on ps4 or switch, I was kinda blown away. The store clerk told me that it was a non interest game and they just wanted to try some few copies, and I would bet money on that it was in the same situation with DQ11 where some stores don't want to risk too much money on it.

>>15532771

how censored is the western compared to the Japanese version, please elaborate.

>>15532966

I wonder how terrible a modern version of this line would be.

>>15532959

I beat the NES version when I was 8 years old. You have to be some kind of retard to get stuck in 1.

All you need to do is collect the stuff to build a bridge, you don't even have to save Laura.

>>15532898

Most of the "difficulty" on those is just the lack of direction.

I gotta say though, that non-random encounters make the game less annoying to travel trough, but also takes a lot of danger from exploring away.

But doesn't matter that much because of this:

>>15532959

JRPGs are a very flawed genre, grinding can topple any possible challange, no matter how much you make the monsters strong. So playing one for "challenge" isn't very interesting, unless you gimp yourself by choosing to not grind or speedrunning, which is still pretty stupid considering how much RNG affects the game.

>>15532920

Yeah, it doesn't make much sense.

I don't understand what's going on over there

>>15532920

Doesn't VIII on the PS2 also have longer loading than the JP original? Also heard rumor in the past that with the bundled PS1 ports of Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy IV, those suffered lag that the Japanese one didn't due to improper dealing with the text (think it was something like just stacking the English over the Japanese and changing calls, instead of replacing) pushing the data past a limit the Japanese ones didn't hit. Makes me think whoever's handling the technical/insertion end of the western releases either hasn't done a good job factoring file weight against the Japanese versions, especially in cases where the western version has had stuff added that the Japanese version didn't (like voice acting or orchestrated music).

>>15532937

Heard IX also changed the personality of the Celestrians or whatever they're called out here compared to how they are in Japan.

>>15532951

>squenix was too fat and lazy to fix it with a second printing

Wouldn't shock me either, even for other companies. And not just NISA-tier ones; I've heard Agetec outright pulled a game from stores to address a bug it had, but proceeded to never do another print and told fans they were lucky to even get the game in the condition it was in at all. And that was on top of the English script feeling like it had only had a few weeks put in despite being delayed two fucking years.

>>15532966

Thees and Thous are different from OY MATE ITS EIGHT BONG and friends. I'd say the former isn't even accenting, as much as an attempt at archaism.

>>15532974

Probably about what this looks like:

https://legendsoflocalization.com/lets-talk-aboot-those-dragon-quest-iv-accents/

Actually, on that note, I know they brought some rerelease for I-III over, for phones only of course. Anyone know if they just ported the original Enix translation over or redid it under "Modern Dragon Quest Localization Standards™"?

>>15532999

I don't know about load times but the menus are slower.

>>15532968

>non-interest game

Well that pisses me off, these fucking faggots are going to ensure that the fucking digital-only future reigns with this sheer level of incompetence

>>15532999

The "Modernized" menu in VIII added a bunch of load time.

>>15532959

It's a Role Playing Game. Not a spreadsheet simulator. Contrary to popular belief there is a wrong way to play RPGs.

>The worst thing about 1 is that you have to go around aimlessly following incredibly minor clues as to where to go.

Yeah, it's a traditional non-linear RPG for a reason. Tell me you've played one before. This makes a good RPG. Modern ones that just hand you EXP and tell you exactly where to go with an arrow on a map ruin the experience and are just bad walking simulators holding your hand so you don't trip and fall.

You're supposed to feel proud of yourself for finding clues throughout the world and piecing them together to discover things.

>Want to look up a guide

Yeah, you don't know what an RPG is about.

>>15532999 (checked)

Erdrick's world has few accents except for japanese speaking in haiku, but in Alefguard it's ye olde english. I and II have slightly different scripts, but use olde english like the nes versions did.

>>15533010

Anon, I played along for a while but shit got incredibly cryptic and downright bullshit at some points. How the fuck was I supposed to know about that secret passage way?

>>15533026

There is no secret passage way in DQ 1.

>>15533017

>I and II have slightly different scripts, but use olde english like the nes versions did.

It's been a few years since i've played it, but i remember them going out of their way to scrub out all the 'thees' and 'thous' from the script/

>>15532991

>JRPGs are a very flawed genre, grinding can topple any possible challange, no matter how much you make the monsters strong

Some RPGs try to stop you from doing that, either by stopping the monsters completely after a certain point or just cutting the EXP gained in half after every level(the original Ys games) but none of the modern ones seem to bother.

>>15532974

Not bad at all really.

SPOILERS

>>15533016

It's mostly because games back then were so short that they were made to be very hard. It was the norm and you get used to the norm. Games today are made for the lowest common denominator, if you grew up with FF VII going back to DQ 1,2 or 3 will feel a brick wall.

>>15533027

Eh, I'll get back into it soon an see for myself.

I was playing the GBC version on my n3ds btw, maybe it was a graphical issue?

>>15532820

But will it come out stateside? I owe it to the first game for getting me into the games proper so it'll suck if it stays in Japan, region-free be damned.

>>15533035

Has Rubiss ever gotten official art? I know the wiki has her short-story illustration and there's her sprites in VI, but I can't find anything else.

>>15533031

They probably did, but the script benefits greatly by not being shackled to nes text restraints.

>>15533031

Falcom figured that shit out in 1987 and they still use that system in their games.

>>15533039

You have to use torch to see shit in the caves (until you learn spell to raise you filed of vision). Maybe that is what you meant by secret passage.

>>15533043

But don't Falcom games make even a single level up have far more impact than most games?

>>15533052

Don't support the Denuvo release, buy a physical copy on PS4 or pirate

>>15533052

It's not very indicative of the series as a whole but it's not a terrible start. Don't buy it though since there's a crack.

>>15533040

I'm sure it will. Builders even got a re-release for the Switch with new content.

>>15533010

>1

>non-linear

It's literally the most linear one.

A game being not linear is determined by different options of things to do and/or in varying orders, not by having to wander around until you find out what the only possible route is.

You don't know shit of what you're talking about.

The classic Famicom ones were made intentionally lacking in direction, even if you interact with the world. That was because at the time they had a strategy of making games harder to figure out to increase sales of Guide magazines with direction, strategies and secrets.

>>15533031

>either by stopping the monsters completely after a certain point or just cutting the EXP gained in half after every level

Ys really does this pretty well,

DQ XI has an option to kinda do this, but it's very badly implemented.

>>15533052

The best start is DQ1&2 for Super Famicom with a translation patch.

If you want to be hardcore, play the original NES versions.

>>15532968

I'm not sure how "weeb" a game that looks like DBZ (by way of the same artist) can really be, even out here. Dragon Quest certainly isn't as popular here as Final Fantasy has been, but I'm sure the designs on their own at least catch the eye of some mainstream entry level animefags at the store, though maybe not quite during the actually relevant period of new sales. Point being there's number of series I'd consider much further on the "weeb" scale than it, be it in visuals or content.

>>15533008

To be fair, even with big name stores, they'll only order what's within range of demand for. Even a single preorder can at least get a few more copies requested. Saw an anon on cuck/vr/ many years back lamenting how he could never find a copy of Dual Hearts where he lived because not a single person had ordered one (or any that had been had gotten shipped out of the region). Still, I'd think it would be in a store's interest to at least order a handful on their own, and depending on how fast they move out, order more based on that. And what strikes me as also odd is that the copies ordered were for the BONE, as opposed to the PS4. I know companies have taken to trying to make a weebbase amongst microsoft fans in having stuff multiplat between the PS4 and it for remasters these days, but I really doubt there's as much interest in visually anime games there in comparison.

>>15533051

In their actions games it does. In RPG not so much.

Actually it's pretty cool, in the old Ys game you can set the challenge level by facing the boss at the level you get be not grinding or eliminate the challenge by grinding until monster exp become very low.

>>15533008

the reason why it pisses me off is because there are only some few games that are certain to be in some few stores.

So last year I wanted to play the evil within 2 on what happened was that I had to go on amazon to get a copy because 3 of the stores I went to did not even know what kind of a game it was, then one clerk straight up told me that the game is too niche to carry for that store.

So I got that LOTR game and the fundamental problem is that there are only some few games that sell, and the regular stuff like BF and COD sells allot of copies.

Funnily enough the store I went to get the evil within 2 from had more niche games like YS and utawarerumono which kinda blew my mind.

I'm surprised whenever I go into a store to buy a game, I get this weird feeling that I should just get it digitally or from amazon because it's highly unlikely that the game I'm looking for will be in the store.

Also gaming has turned so much and become so weird that I dunno what the fuck vidya is anymore, btw this comes from a dude that enjoys single player games.

>>15532880

>I JUST WANT A STRAIGHT TRANSLATION WHY IS THIS SO HARD?

Because jews and liberals

>>15533086

Mostly because translator are failed writer, so they inject their personal touch in their translation thinking that they know better that the original writer.

>>15533085

>So last year I wanted to play the evil within 2 on what happened was that I had to go on amazon to get a copy because 3 of the stores I went to did not even know what kind of a game it was, then one clerk straight up told me that the game is too niche to carry for that store.

Fucking mind blowing to me, considering i've found shit like Wonderful 101, first print copies of Tales games, vita games like Toukiden, and hatsune miku at my local wal-mart

>>15533066

I know, the demo won me over and I like what I saw of the second game so far.

>>15533055

>pirate

Duly noted, but isn't the crack prone to crashing?

>>15533108

I'd heard last thread there was a fix for that already.

>denuvo

>cucked censorship

>turn-based jrpg in 2019-1

>RIP Dragon Quest

and nothing of value was lost

>>15533052

You'll appreciate the series a little bit more if you play in release order (doesn't matter what version you chose to play of course, eg. I is on NES, SNES, GBC, phones and shit)

But you can easily start with XI.

I think it's the first DQ to be officially HD.

The DS remakes are fucking ugly outside of battle

>>15533079

>eliminate the challenge by grinding

>pretty cool

It's not.

It's supposed to be an action game, git gud or git out.

>>15533083

It's been a long time, I really don't remember being able to get different stuff in different orders. But I still believe it's the most linear of the first 3.

What I remember clearly is that it was the shortest and easiest one of them by far.

2 was incredibly bullshitty with it's hidden shit.

3 I remember being the most open-ended of them all.

>You can beat the game easily if you don't have a guide. Just pay attention.

No shit, if they made an impossible game without information outside of it, I'd figure they'd get shit for it.

The point is that the lack of direction is intentionally made shitty to make sales of guides more relevant.

It has nothing to do with it being "a real RPG".

>>15532928

>I've heard rumor that someone with power at Square, either the western or eastern branch, has had it in their head that the "LOL SO FAHHNY" accents make the games stand out and provide reason to buy them here after VIII started it.

He's a westerner and a goon. He worked one some of the retranslations of the GBA ports.

I'm up to Dragon Quest III but I've a hankering for replaying Builders. Also, I'm starting to see where Monster Girl Quest got its inspiration from.

>>15533096

I'm in Norway so that probably explains allot also either way I'm blown away that there are only some few games that is available that is SP and sometimes the most niche stuff is in store and available.

Either way, I kinda find these stores to be unreliable and it's easier to just go to amazon.

>>15533166

>where Monster Girl Quest got its inspiration from.

More like 90% of all japanese media with a "Fantasy" setting, lol.

Watch the switch sell one million at least

>>15533152

Dragon Quest was in no way made with a mind to sell guides. The whole game was an experiment by Horii and crew to see if RPGs would work in Japan, and he dumbed down the experience as much as possible from games he was really into such as Ultima and Wizardry. That's why there's only one Hero in the first game.

And it flopped at first and it took Toriyama making a manga about how to play that made it finally sell.

DQ2 was made in a rush after sales picked up, so that's why the end of the game has a lot of bullshit. DQ3 was meant to be his definitive RPG experience as he put in a lot of stuff he wanted to add to the first two games such as making your own party.

>>15532928

3DS only got ports/remasters which also got over here after a while.

DS/Wii era had the DS remakes, IX and X

No idea why they would almost kill the series because of accents even when Nintendo helped with the localizations.

Then again I fail to see why accents are that bad.

>>15533166

Everything fantasy RPG in Japan got it's inspiration from the first three games.

>>15533187

Japan still has some taste left. It's not just DQ but also Wizardry, though DQ is way more known due to its normalfag status over there

>>15533229

Oh right, I forgot about those. I was just thinking of mainline games

Maybe the DS spinoffs didn't do that well?

>>15533229

They're stuck in a weird circular logic trap

>What the hell! These games don't sell in the west

<so we shouldn't release any more of them

<and let's not waste too much money advertising the ones we do release

>these game don't sell in the west

>>15533187

Monster Girl Quest is especially obvious. That gaping crater leading to another world, the Road to Rhone leading to the final dungeon, and the six orbs raised A LOT of flags.

>>15533278

>Talk about fanbois and one shall appear.

When fucks here called me a wizard I never thought they meant an actual wizard. Rage all you want it not going to suddenly make DQXI into a good game. That said if you calm the fuck down nigger I might use my wizard powers to turn DQXI into a copy of DQVIII.

>>15533254

Don't forget the king looking for you is literally Dr. Gero.

>>15532660

>The game is great

The localization is NISA-tier and one of the main characters is a flaming faggot.

>>15532660

Deserved it. It was shallow as fuck. Most boring jrpg i ever played.

Anyone protecting it is a huge retard.

>>15533336

Welcome to Dragon Quest, you stupid faggot. Turns out Toriyama can only design a couple dozen human characters.

>>15533102

Congratulations, you just told everyone you have no clue what weeb actually means.

>>15533254

>DQ Builders

Now THAT is a real game. But stupid square will think west doesn't deserve DQ Builders 2 on PC because "huh they didn't bought DQXI maybe they don't like the series"

>>15533368

You seem upset.

>>15533374

You talk like a retarded goon.

>>15533369

Do i need to remind you that definition of weeb as in "wanting to be japanese (wapanese)" was lost somewhere in 2008-2009? Its like 10 years already how people on imageboards call everything anime looking a weeb shit. At this point its far longer trend than "wapanese".

Now that you're reminded of that you can meditate on it.

>>15533388 (Heil'd)

'Weeb' literally means nothing, as it's just a normalfag response to anime. Colloquially, though, it refers to autistic shit like CGDCT that even many anime fans can't stomach.

>>15533417

>Wow, you're really a newfag, huh? "Weeaboo" means "Wanting to be Japanese and thinks everything Japanese is superior."

No, that's literally what normalfags decided it should mean. I would call you a total fucking retard, but you're pretty good at making webms, so keep it up.

Moe is the feeling you get when you look at a cute woman and want to defend her. This isn't fucking difficult, and fuck you for thinking you're hot shit for knowing baby's first Japanese word.

>>15533435

>>15533417

We have IDs you spamming faggot.

>>15533435

>Reminds me of why I never come to /v/ in the first place.

Because 4chan and reddit are way worse than this and promote feminism/trannyism and communism on video gaming boards? And there are "women" who complain at you that you're too homophobic and racist for not liking nigger dick. Either ironically or trannies from /r9k/ tranny general

>>15533430

No, I'm hot shit because I've been here for longer than a weekend.

>>15533445

What do you mean? This isn't spam.

>>15533454

>>15533480

>faggots

I'm the same guy you've been talking to all thread, you brainless pile of shit. Like >>15533445 said, I don't think you understand what IDs are.

>>15533452

What?

>>15533490

>Where did I ever samefag?

No one said you did. But you referred to me as 'faggot(s)', which implies that you're retarded, and were under the delusion that you're talking to multiple people.

>>15533237

>Maybe the DS spinoffs didn't do that well?

Squeenix put out a few, and nintendo put out Joker 2, which may or may not have been already done by squeenix around the time DQV bombed and they gave up, but i don't remember how that old rumor goes 100%.

>>15533510

>I'm an outsider calling all of /v/ faggots.

We know, you can go back to SA/Reddit/RetardEra now.

>>15533380

So you had to go on tor to tell us you looked it up. Good for you I guess.

>>15533525

We have better Dragon Quest threads on /a/. At least there I can expect people to know a few things about games.

>>15533535

Dragon Quest isn't an anime, despite being drawn by Toriyama, so it doesn't even make sense that there would be /a/ threads. Do you have proof of this?

>>15533543

>/a/ is anime only

Okay, serious now, that's not true at all. Take a look at our catalog sometimes. Rule 7 is an important part of our board. It was 4cuck that banned Touhou for "not anime".

We had a /jp/ gaming thread a while back where we talked at length about Dragon Quest.

>>15533543

It had an anime.

>>15533553

I prefer this one.

>>15533525

>proceeds to give more (You)s

Also both Dragon Quest and /a/ are shit.

>>15533565

The original tracks really are terrible, especially when put side by side with the older ones. I don't know what the fuck is going on because every game up to 10 had a fine enough soundtrack. Sugiyama must be getting too old.

>>15533581

Real men play Pathfinder Kingmaker at the moment.

Sorry, I block all Torpedos as a matter of course.

>>15533604

Good luck on talking to 8channers in few years later when it gets banned in more countries.

Does the game still have characters talk like limey cunts or did the (((localizers))) finally stopped doing that shit?

>>15533709

Read the fucking thread.

>>15532966

In fact, it is archaic in that manner in the Japanese version too. そなた is used, which is an archaic, obsolete word for "you". That translation is almost word for word exact by the way.

Agreed, I love when absolute fucking mouthbreathers pretend that they have any business in a thread for gentlemen.

>>15534028

Aye, wee bawbag whos translated this shite shouldve his heed kickd in awright.

>>15534079

What happens is some nip gives it a normal translation and then they hand it over to SJW (((localization))) editors who are paid to bastardize everything and take a giant shit all over the script.

>>15534100

No you fucking schizo, chill the fuck out.

How do you guys have trouble reading the english translations?

>>15534122

It's not a trouble to do so, it's more why the fuck it happens in the first place.

>>15534122

No one does. It's just annoying and hackneyed knowing your money would be going to people who think running shit through an accent parser and wholesale editing things just for lame puns is a good way to translate something.

>>15533161

>>15533168

So somehow one of the translators, or perhaps editors, now has that much sway over the western branch?

>>15533967

If I had the game and knew how to work the angles, I'd fix it.

>thinking a microtransaction ridden mess selling poorly is a bad thing

>>15534138

>>15533967

Why bother with sound anyways? Just makes the file bigger

>>15534308

Sound is usually a fraction of the size of the whole webm.

The only reason not to have sound was because cuckchan doesn't support it.

I want to play the game but the system requirements are too high.

>>15534308

The anger and indignation is mostly over the fact that the webm is clearly from cuckchan and the disdain of a crossposting scum shitting up this site instead of staying in cuckchan.

No one should have been anything but NoA insisted on stupid offensive speaking stereotypes being injected into Dragon Quest and we're still having to suffer it in future Dragon Quest titles

>>15534324

>>15534338

I got it here on the previous Dragon Quest thread. I haven't a clue on how to capture video game footage and such. Even if I did, it wouldn't matter because…

>>15534337

…as far the requirements are concerned my PC is a toaster. A shame. The occasional upskirt thread could use some new content.

>>15534324

It still makes a difference and it adds up.

I always cut them out if they're not needed unless the music or something like that fits well (only .webm I can think of right now would be offtopic)

No idea why some are obsessed with that other place.

You can easily keep/make a normal and a soundless version. Also easier for a loop without sound

>>15534324

>>15533967

why the fuck would you want sound in that webm anyway

>>15534416

Yeah, all those billions wasted on making accents.

I had that happen to me once in here, to be fair. Someone used multiple proxies to samefag and create false dissent against my posts. I caught him in the act because he forgot to change his proxy when he used a different IP to refer to his own previous posts.

/v/ is not only full of idiots but it's also full of actual, degenerate autists like that. His level of paranoia is very reasonable.

How are the Atelier games localization by the way? I hear a good trilogy of them are getting a PC port, might give it a try.

>>15532660

>Ever buying (((localizations)))

I hope games never get released in the West again period

>>15534498

Anons in this thread have already addressed some of atelier's localizations >>15507302 .

>>15534498

Fair amount of them have been done by NISA, haven't heard any real complaints about the Koei translated games, but they likely didn't retranslate the games.

>>15533379

>That song.

Its so damn 80s

>>15533379

Goddamn I miss when Dragonball was good.

11 is the first one I've been too bored to keep playing. The characters are so obnoxious. Annoying bitch kid, huge faggot that harasses you, new yorker thief. They outdid themselves making the translation the worst thing I have ever had to read only this time unlike the DS ones there isn't an original SNES version to play instead.

The story sucks. You are raised by cuckolds (repeated with mermaid story where guy leaves the love of his life to raise some other bitch's kid); there's the useless asshole royalty you help, a guy who killed a bunch of people to get drugs and you ignore it completely.

The combat is functional. It's not the joke difficulty I heard people say but it's certainly easy for the series. One boss spams aoe and confusion on everyone. Though this is likely exacerbated by the horrible lack of random encounters meaning you don't fight any battles other than if you want an enemy in your monster book.

Alchemy sucks. You can only make what the game gives you recipes for so you never make anything really useful. The actual minigame of crafting is an improvement.

You get a bit of leeway in where you go once you get the sea gate open. The map shows you the spots you can land though so you aren't actually exploring.

Music is awful, midi or not, it's the same shit it has always been and gets played somewhat inappropriately.

>>15534392

>It still makes a difference and it adds up.

Don't talk about shit you don't know a single thing about.

>>15532691

I upgraded nvidia drivers and they have a thing now where alt+f2 stops the game to let you free move the camera around to take pictures, sterescopes or actually save the whole thing so you can move around again (at 700MB). Pretty cool.

>>15532928

The accents in 8 were fine because the actual text was written in fucking readable English. When you are trying to read 20 hours of text you don't want it in fucking ebonics.

>>15532959

The original game was given out free with a year subscription to Nintendo Power. It came with complete maps that show the exact grids monster encounters use, monster stats, and everything else you would want to know.

>>15533027

There is a passage behind the Dragon Lord's throne which is a damage zone if I remember correctly.

>>15533026

>>15533060

>New Yorker Thief

His accent threw me for a loop for a while, but it clicked once I stumbled across the Ice Kingdom place. The guy's a viking.

Looks like a patch is on the works. They've been working on it for a while.

Hopefully it fixes the performance issues on AMD cards that caused the huge disparage in the minimum requirements between AMD and Nvidia

>>15533130

The hero's ring is bugged is all. It is supposed to raise strength.

>>15534873

If it's a PC only patch, it's probably got something to do with that mod that replaces all the music.

>>15534931

That doesn't take that long to implement if it's already using Denuvo

>>15534911

It matters in the context of them making more ports and maybe not so shitty ports in the future.

>>15534968

I'm not alluding to anything OP said.

Sales on Steam matter if you want to measure the future prospects of other ports for Steam. They're not going to port something if it doesn't sell.

>>15534988

>They're not going to port something if it doesn't sell

With ports like these I'd rather wait for emulation

>>15534990

I will have forgotten about this game or have given up on games completely by the time PS4 emulation is a thing and I can afford the PC hardware for it.

Either way I'll be content with the port if the fix the optimization shit

>>15534999

>I will have forgotten about this game

If thats the case then the game isn't worth your time right now.

Stop consuming video game equivalent of fast food.

>>15535006

I seek enjoyment and unwinding in games, not learning or depth. I do other things to cover for that.

>>15532660

Maybe they shouldn't have purposely made the gameplay in the Switch/PS4/PC version worse than the fucking 3DS version.

>>15534487

t. shiteating goblin

>>15534990

>Wait

You could emulate DQ11 on Citra before the kosherized version even happened.

>>15535052

The voice acting you mean?

>>15535057

What voice acting?

>>15535059

On the PC version of Dragon Quest XI. I'm wondering if that's what you don't like about it.

>>15535061

I'm talking about it getting a (((localized))) release at all. Never trust other people's translations.

>>15532928

>And sadly I've seen plenty of western fans over the years say they do make the games charming for them

I fucking hate these people with a passion. What is it with brainless, cringeworthy, unfunny americunts? Why are they like this?

>>15535017

>I seek enjoyment and unwinding in games, not learning or depth

You are brain damaged if you don't get enjoyment out of depth and learning.

>>15534763

I thought Ansel was exclusive to a select few games. What GPU do you have?

Bungled translation of the inferior version of a bad game. It won't sell as badly as it deserves.

>>15535113

No, you're brain damaged for making such an awful strawman, since I can tell this is honestly how you process information.

>>15537038

He says as he doesn't actually know what strawman means.

>>15535077

Because they're the sort that believe that accuracy in scripts (IE: not localized beyond what is required) equates to them handling in a boring fashion translated properly to English, need punching up, and as such praise what they feel makes them stand out as enjoyable to read/sit through. The sort that were Working Designs' intended audience for their rewrites (and continue to be for their reincarnation as Gaijinworks), whom support censorship decisions because even sprited based perversion in something like Breath of Fire IV JP would make them feel uncomfortable to play, and like having stuff like lyrical tracks and moon audio cut from games to reduce the "weeaboo" factor and again make them feel less uncomfortable to say they enjoy. I'd see those sorts even half a decade or more back on cuckchan.

Need to see the PS4 numbers to understand if the localization was profitable. Dragon Quest XI was made using Unreal. They can produce a build for PC without much issue. The extra development for Steam could have been done by a couple programmers. After localization, porting to Steam is worthwhile in that case.

>>15538101

This is the same publisher that somehow managed to make no money selling 6 million copies of NuRaider so I wouldn't give them too much credit there.

>>15532691

I had my mouse on the buy button and had the sense at the last minute to check if it had Denuvo. It's too bad, I did want to play it. I'll have to get the remastered kike edition in 50 years as part of some collection I guess.

>>15537943

In other words, normalfag cancer that should never have been remotely considered a viable audience.

>>15538101

>Dragon Quest XI was made using Unreal.

Only on the shit versions.

>>15538195

You can run the better version on Citra if you want to play it on PC.

>>15532660

That's 9 million dollars from a cheap low-effort port. Peanuts, but still, seems really profitable

>>15534937

>let's buy this shitty port to show we want better ports!

They'll just keep doing shitty ports as long as the sales numbers aren't bad enough

>>15538348

>They used it liberally back then but now they stuff the games full of it

What do you think 'liberally' means?

>>15533229

>Rocket Slime 3DS never ever

it fucking hurts. I loved the one we got in the west, nothing else really scratched the itch as well as that one did with the tank combat.

Joker 3 seemed good, have a fan translated that run good on Citra, the Joker games certainly seem to err on the darker side of things, and DQ take on Mon Fighters never disappoints so I'm pretty good with this stuff in general.

>>15532691

>>15532664

what's wrong with the port?

>>15532660

>Shame too since the game is great.

So is my penis.

>>15538652

>"Sparingly" is what I thought.

That is the exact opposite of what liberal is suppose to be. How you could fuck up Conservative and Liberal i'll never know.

>>15532660

I mean… $60 per game with 100,000 owners is at the very least 6 mil right?

>>15538815

Most of which gets eaten up in costs for (((localization))) and other such bullshit that would make any sane company never bother with the West.

>>15532966

>Another thing they can't wrap their fucking heads around is advertising it here. They've never fucking done it.

Wasn't there that one "poncho" commercial?

>>15535855

An old 760. It comes up when game loads saying you can press alt+f2. Never seen it before so assumed it was the driver update I did.

>>15539070

In the multiplayer, but I probably won't play that unless it hinders the singleplayer in a significant way like with GTA:V That game was stingy as fuck with money and had virtually no side activities where you could earn it, due to their idea of rolling all SP into MP in some form but Red Dead Redemption 2 doesn't seem to be suffering from that issue. There's multiple ways to make cash. I haven't preordered, if it's shit then I won't buy it, but so far it looks like the sequel I always wanted.

>>15539009

950 here. I'll have to see if this works with Neptunia. Apparently there used to be a camera mod on Steam but nowhere to be found now. Still, does that mean Nvidia can't detect pirated games?

Back. Turns out the latest driver update merely included DQ11 on the Ansel list.

>>15537738

Were you actually following the conversation I had with him or is this just you samefagging? Or do you not know what strawman means?

I very clearly never said I don't seek depth and learning from videogames. I consider that a stupid task because it's so limited and there are much better sources for that, but I digress.

Then I said I seek depth and learning from other things. I never said I don't get enjoyment from learning. That's clearly a strawman.

Basically, you're both fucking retarded faggots. Go read a book.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 and Dragon Quest X were held back. The 3DS version of Dragon Quest XI isn't making it out. Dragon Quest got no representation on the NES or SNES Classic editions. I don't know what they're thinking.

>>15533031

If you want to grind - if you'd rather whack metal slimes for hours so everything else in the game offers no challenge - what's wrong with that? You know exactly what you're doing, don't you?

The Switch version has to get a localization then. If anything DQXI-s in a western Nintendo Direct would be more marketing than Square Enix would ever bother giving the game.

What does DQXI-s have that'll make it worth waiting for? Not like my dinky GPU can handle it.

>>15539474

>what's wrong with that?

>>15539611

>What does DQXI-s have that'll make it worth waiting for?

Portability, supposedly has extra content from the 3ds version according to the thread, and that's about it, really.

>what's wrong with that?

Aside from fucking up the developer's intended way of playing the game, nothing really.

>>15539611

No clue, but the Switch version has an S added to the title for a reason. Speculation notes that the "s" stands for "special". I think the s just means for Switch. I've been playing more RPGs on the Switch. I think the suspend option is worth it for DQ XI, if the Switch version gets a western release. Otherwise I'll pass. I don't waste time pirating Denuvo games because they're usually shit not worth putting in the backlog.

I don't care about the main DQ games. I only pay attention to the Monster games now

>>15539645

One of the devs said it stands for "seiyuu" because apparently the nip version is going to get voice acting as well.

>>15539782

Voice acting in DQ? I prefer silence to the Western dub but a good Japanese cast would be nice.

>>15539828

https://archive.is/VbXwA

No word on if it will get a Japanese dub or not, but it would be weird if it didn't after these comments.

>>15540355

I hope you're ready for probably the single most pointless twist in the series.

>>15538964

>Want Rockstar shit over DQ

I want Reddit to leave

>>15540355

Didn't Dragon Quest III do the same thing? Though I don't recall that being foreshadowed either.

>>15540687

11 foreshadows the shit out of it actually and one of the main reasons why it's not a very good twist.

Anywhere else I can pirate DQXI that doesn't involve a repack? Fitgirl's keeps giving me a bunch of errors.

>>15543716

I can upload the .cxi if you want.

>>15544233

No idea what that is but is it the PC version?

>>15543916

>That pic

I dunno what the OP in that pic is whining about, sounds like an interesting person to me.

>>15544739

It's a file for 3DS software that can run in Citra, so yes, it will run on the PC.

>>15544775

That sounds nice, but is anyone set on translating that version seeing as it'll never come out here? I'm only hankering for DQXI for Veronica upskirts.

You know what, I'll take the .cxi. Could use some reading practice and my 3DS has CFW on it.

>>15544919

>Translating

It's already in Japanese, no translation required

>>15545045

…very funny. As I said, I could use some reading practice so if anyone has the .cxi or .cia or whatever, lay it on me.

>>15545224

https://volafile.org/get/Bgdt5JfgiZK0y/Dragon%20Quest%2011.cxi

When DQ decides to get a backbone and make some actual fucking music for their games i'll start to care.

>>15533109

>that image

I often wonder if the japanese have a font that they hate/feel cheapens their message on hiragana/katakana, the way we hate comic sans. Can any weebs/japs confirm?

>>15540696

At that point it wasnt really a twist, but pretty much obvious.

>>15548554

Why does that nigger has blue eyes and the same body as those other white characters?

>>15548554

Why does that nigger has blue eyes and the same body as those other white characters?

It's just me or this shitty game doesn't even have boss music? I'm up to that Jarvis nigger fight and still nothing but the regular fight theme on every single encounter

>>15549055

For whatever reason the first boss with an actual boss theme doesn't happen until the desert town.

>>15548554

>「はい、それでよろしくお願いします」

>>15545045

>2.5GB

Oh, right. 3DS. So how do I go about installing this on my 3DS?

>>15548554

And it's compatible with Ansel. All it needs now is to let us put someone else in the leader slot. Played the demo at NYCC and I didn't dislike it. Then again, I played very few Dragon Quest games (III, V, and Builders).

>>15549055

I thought that shit stopped after III. I excused it on I and II because of how ancient they are.

>>15549055

Most of the bosses don't have boss theme because the game is shit Anon. It is not people shitposting it really is crap. Dragon Quest fans in the west are so starved of DQ games they will say shit like Heroes and XI are good. They will defend that crap till the end even though they deep down know its shit.

>>15549635

5 was the first game to have a boss theme. 4 didn't get one until the remakes, which just makes me wonder why the 1, 2 and 3 remakes didn't have any.

>>15547093

How'd I respond to the wrong post hours ago? As I was saying, thank you and how do I use this filetype for my 3DS? It's already been CFWed.

>>15549651

Heroes isn't horrible but it's not really great either.

Builders is just fantastic though.

>>15549635

>>15550394

>Oh, right. 3DS. So how do I go about installing this on my 3DS?

Good question. I'd assume FBI or Godmode can do it, but just in case I'll start ripping a .cia version - I ripped the .cxi to run it on Citra, so it'll take a bit to pull out.

>>15550498

Isn't Builders the one that plays more like Minecraft? I would assume it's awful by default in that case.

Builders is more action adventure like Zelda than anything. You can build your own stuff, but that takes a back-seat to adventuring, doing quests, and unlocking recipes. There are build quests too, and you can go crazy in the "creative" mode, but the actual meat of the game is much more linear.

Fair enough, maybe I'll pick up the Vita version sometime then, it looks like it's down to about 3600 on Amazon right now, so maybe once it falls under 3000

Isn't SteamSpy completely useless now because of some change Valve made to how profiles worked? So actual numbers of games sold/owned are hidden or obscured in most cases?

I think something like that happened a while back.

the PS4 version has a better framerate, not sure about the switch one.

How big a difference? The price isn't that far off, only about 500 more for the Ultimate Hits rerelease, but ideally I'd like not to sacrifice the portability of the Vita version.

In case the thread disappears overnight, the DQ11 .cia is uploading to https://volafile.org/r/HF33Go and should be done in roughly 2 and a half hours.

Thanks again. Now to make space and kick myself for getting a 16GB SD card.
