Dragon Quest 9 |OT| Last chance* to shine

i have one question:

is this a loot game?
In the traditional sense, no it isn't. However there is a metric shit-ton of gear to collect, most of it optional, and some of it relying on luck to get. You'll be pleased with the loot, but I can't say if the gameplay will be what you're looking for or not.

SundayGAF never ceases to entertain.

Just make sure that you enjoy it with a refreshing Coke Zero!




Product placement in threads, I need to get a quick copyright on this
 
I'm a good 4 hours in now... tried tag mode. failed.
all-in-all the game is amazing.

summer redeemed.

I'm off to work on comic pages! I'll reward my completion later tonight by creating my party members :)

I love seeing everyone's enthusiasm. I really hope it sells well. I think the last time DQ was in north america on a nintendo platform was 1990?

GLORIOUS RETURN!

dude are YOU serious?

frozen pizza + video games = heaven


You're a savage sir. Pizza = greasy controllers.

Coke and Cool Ranch Doritos + new JRPG = happy place

I...I don't even know what to say. I'm kindof frightened of and in love with Jimmy Dean.

I just turned into a thief, but rarely steal stuff :(
Btw, why is the stealing ability called "half-inch"? I don't get it.

Well, I made an impulse buy on it. Gamestop I went to had 4 copies total they received and only one reserved. I bought two (one for me and my brother) so we could play some multiplayer.

Has anyone gone to the Gamestop event yet? Were there lots of people there playing? What about the free map. Is it worth traveling out for, or is it better to just stay inside and play?

The Gamestop event isn't until July 31.

game controllers aren't game controllers unless they have several layers of grease and crumbs and shit in the nooks and crannies. whenever I buy a new controller, I just take it to McDonald's and have them bathe it in the french fry tubs.

Alright I finally managed to dig out my fat and red Generation 1 DS, after seeing a lot more media for DQ9, I think I might pick it up :D

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
I love being able to play this in English! It's the best.

But the title of this thread is kind of weird. Sounds negative to me.
 
I can't believe I was actually skeptical about buying the game because IGN said it had a less than stellar plot. Good god, this is easily the most embarrassing moment of my life thus far.
 
Picked it up at Best Buy so I could eventually get that lame slime hat :p Unfortunately, the employee working did not allow me to match Toys R Us gift card offer, which I thought was pretty stupid. I may try later today when a different employee is working, and printing off the Best Buy Price Policy.

Whoever gave the advice of blowing into the shoulder buttons to get them working again.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

My Left shoulder button works after years of it not working!

Anyway, this game is pretty nice so far.

This game is beautiful. I admit I was skeptical after falling so deeply in love with VIII, even after I saw how IV and V turned out on the DS, but wow. This game is fantastic so far!
 
Yeah I'm kind of in love with this. Just got out to the world map finally, I really love how you can see the enemies instead of a random battle every two steps. It's pretty much a perfect jrpg so far.

It's Cockney slang for pinch/steal. Lots of stuff like that in Plus Alpha's DQ translations.

Got my copy and put an hour or so in. Unfortunately, I have a lot of work to do this week and I'm meeting my parents for dinner soon, so cannot play as much as I'd like to. :( Jealous of the people playing on DSi XLs as this is the most gorgeous DS game to date.

Man, between this, Peace Walker, Starcraft II and the Engineer Update I pretty much don't need any entertaining for the rest of the year.
