Games so far: Dragon Quest III Remake Dragon Quest I & II Remake Darkest Dungeon II These three! I haven't played Dragon Quest II in... well, decades (cue getting older memes I remember that was for a long a favorite of mine. I'm sure by today's standards it shows it's age, but looking forward to the remakes, I think they're a long time coming! And I have to play Darkest Dungeon II -- I'm hoping it will be as good as the first. Reviews are mixed, with some people saying it needs some updates (hopefully they're doing that) while others think it's not nearly as good as the first. Will give it a shot for sure, and to be fair, DD I was not perfect either (Crimson Court = junk mechanics)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the same as Dragon Warrior III in the USA right? I finished that game and it was just a primitive Dragon Warrior game but when I saw the preview of this release, it was like a Octopath Traveler aesthetic, did they completely remake it and just use the same story? I don't understand how this relates to the NES / Famicom game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? why would that be bad? I think it would be great! You got to experience the games as they were originally envisioned, and now you can experience the remake. Seems like a win-win situation to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Bot | 98 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I kind of wish remakes included the original. It's fun to play both and compare them. I remember a Monkey Island game where you could switch back and forth between old and new graphics. Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles on the PSP included Rondo of Blood along with a remake of it. I came to appreciate both versions of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeatherRebel5150 | 1,096 Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 (edited) I’m not usually one to talk about purchases but I hit up gamestops b2g1 sale today in my local store and had my first “score” Ive probably had in 7 or 8yrs that I can remember. Trine Series 1-3 has become surprisingly rare, as in none on ebay available, and I found it amongst the stack at Gamestop today. Best part is that it was my “free” game Edited July 2 by LeatherRebel5150 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Rothchild | 9,932 Editorials Team · Posted July 2 Author Share Posted July 2 Funny, because back in the day I specifically bought the 1-4 Collection instead of 1-3 because I didn't care what was on the cart. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro Bot | 98 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Anyone else pre-order Chained Echoes? There's been a lot of issues over this thing getting sent to buyers. Here's the latest update: https://firstpressgames.com/blogs/news/statement-regarding-the-ongoing-delay-situation-深刻な遅延理由の詳細の公式発表 I'm not too angry or stressed about, either I'll eventually get it or I'll get a refund. It's still unfortunate to see a situation like this though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a lot of people who can’t get a response from the company to get a refund and I would think it’s outside the window on paypal/cc’s.
