Was willing to give it a try because the visuals are nice but if the gameplay is stale then nevermind. It is a beautiful game, that's for sure, very polished. I loved the game, but the gameplay is 100% traditional DQ. If you've had your fill of traditional DQ games, you'll find DQ11 boring. Also, I think you'd probably find the game too easy as well.. so I'd suggest passing on it, unless you get it really cheap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But in his case, I think he's pretty much over traditional DQ games at this point. It won't hold his interest till the end.. I'm fairly sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What I really liked about the game was the sense of exploration and discovery in the first half. You visit so many different towns with their own look and feel, its really impressive. Unfortunately the back half of the game is made up of a lot of backtracking through those same towns and areas so it losses a lot of steam. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonDnD 2,648 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I also picked up Arcana Blood. This is just the right amount of anime fighter that I need rn Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pat McCrotch 55 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 @-GD- How was Persona 5 Royal? I'm thinking about picking it up when it goes on sale. I beat the original game but found that the mementos and the last 2 palaces were lackluster that I forced myself to beat the game. How different is it too? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I beat the original game but found that the mementos and the last 2 palaces were lackluster that I forced myself to beat the game. How different is it too? I didn’t bother even fighting anyone (except for key requests) in mementos. It seems like you can now skip battles way easier. the combat has been enhanced, with showtime attacks and other cool tactics. each palace has 3 new hidden rooms to locate. Finding them is like an optional puzzle. the new final palace/section is awesome, providing a way better ending (and also one of the most charismatic enemies In the series) the two new characters are fantastic! Kasumi is bae af! akechi has been completely reworked, and it’s amazing what they did with his character. It’s now easier to max your 5 status ranks. there’s a gambling aspect added to the persona fusion (when an alarm goes off). I’ve gotten sick ass fusions, but some shit ones too lol. there’s a lot of new ways to spend your free time now. Mementos now has hidden stamps (Like some require you to crash through walls) and other stuff to collect, but I didn’t bother with them. ———- bottom line - it’s the definitive version of p5 by a mile. I too didn’t care for the previous final palaces, but they didn’t bug me this time. Weird. I completed everything (New palace + perfect ending) in 95 hours, which was less than my previous playthough. Perhaps, it’s because I didn’t waste much time in mementos. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmaltese★ 2,588 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Finished AI Files Somnium. Actually stunned how well they wrapped every single plot point, mystery and story thread so perfectly. Loved it, thanks for the recommendation guys! If yous haven't played Danganronpa (developed by these guys) and enjoyed this, I highly recommend you do. They are superb. I'd recommend playing them in order though, makes the ending to the trilogy even more amazing (One of the most unique endings in gaming history) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,937 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Finally finished DQ Builders 2. Props to @Aza and @Sabo for selling me on it, I would have missed out on this gem if not for them. Will definitely hop back in from time to time to finish some of the optional content, but right now im gonna dive into XCom Chimera Squad. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade★ 3,937 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 ^ Chimera Squad is alright but seems pretty shallow. The loop so far is enter a small room, kill the 4 or 5 enemies in it, and then move onto a similarily sized room with a similar number of enemies. It feels small compared to regular Xcom.

Getting this shit when I beat FF7. haha thanks bro keep in mind, though, that i probably loved p5 more than most here. also, i didn't force myself to play it, this time, whenever i felt burnt out. i'd take a break and then hit it hard when i was ready. i feel like that made a huge difference, whereas i tried super hard to complete it, as fast as possible, with the OG game (which made me feel like "when is this going to end?". but, unless you are a die hard fan of the original, i'd wait for a price drop. the changes are fantastic (way better than the jump from p4 to p4g) and it's now, easily, my favorite jrpg (i'm working on getting dat platinum now). however, unless you share my enthusiasm for the original, you should wait until it's $30 -$40.
