Playstation Tablet 1,772 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 It's cheap now on PS4, Switch , PC. Now with he quarantine it's a perfect time to give more games a chance. I urge everyone even remotely interested to buy it Link to post Share on other sites
Sabo 449 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I love the game. Its a toss up between it and REmake 2 for my GOTY 2019. Link to post Share on other sites
JonDnD 2,818 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I played the demo on pc and I couldn't get into it. Link to post Share on other sites
Casual 756 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 DQXI was so disappointing for me. It's like the most generic take on a JRPG I've ever played. Maybe that's DQs thing? It was my first DQ so i dunno. The battle music was also just so fucking bad. if you're gonna have a 100 hour game with 50 hours in battles you gotta make that shit a banger.

Twinblade★ 4,077 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I would be interested in trying out. I like the idea of game that lets you build stuff but theres also a purpose to it and a narrative to keep things moving. Link to post Share on other sites

Thats literally the answer I give to people who ask me how I can enjoy DQB2 and not something like Minecraft. DQB is structured, there's a point to everything I'm building. In something like Minecraft I'm just building stuff just to build it. There's no real point besides a self-made reasoning because I don't really have to build it. The game is too open and that's not a good thing IMO. A game needs a clear goal or something to focus on so everything you do actually feels like it matters. Link to post Share on other sites
Remij 4,835 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I can't honestly believe it's a better game than DQ11. I haven't played it though. Does it have a good story? Link to post Share on other sites

Sabo 449 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I dunno. Depends on what you plan on doing. If you just want to play through the story then that'll take 20-30 hours, I'd guess. The story is more of a requirement that is needed to do in order to unlock building materials and stuff like that. Beating the story is when the 'real' game starts. Its a building game and you have your own island that is yours to do whatever you want with. The game can easily give you 100s of hours if you dive into that aspect of it.

But once you finish the story don't you lose the carrot on a stick and it just becomes a sandbox builder like Minecraft? if so then im fine with getting my fill after 20-30 hours.

Sabo 449 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Not really. You can invite people to come live on your island. These people will have different roles (farmers, miners, cooks, soldiers, etc.). These people will also have different tastes that you can choose to pursue if you want. Some people will want a big house, others a small one... Stuff like that. People will also ask you to build different types of stuff for their needs (Parks, Gardens, Stores, Restuarants... Etc). I've redesigned my island so many times because I would get new ideas for themes. I've had the village built in the mountains, tropical settings with beaches and lakes, a city in the sky... I've done so many different things and I never got bored with the game. That's just me though, who knows if the game will grab you the same way it did me. Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,982 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 thanks, @Sabo it doesn't sound like my kind of game, but you answered every question i had. Link to post Share on other sites
Sabo 449 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) Oh, I forgot to mention this. Your island is split into 3 sections and each section will have a stone tablet. On that tablet will be a list of objectives and goals. These will range from simple to more involved tasks. You're going to want to do these because this is the only way to unlock the most useful building tools. The most powerful building tool in the game requires you to complete ALL of the objectives on these tablets. So after you complete the story there is still plenty of carrot chasing to do. Easily at least 20 more hours worth. Edited April 20, 2020 by Sabo Link to post Share on other sites
