      While I do like GX, I have to agree. I don't remember them, at any point, talking about the genuine charm the writing has, but I do remember one of them mentioning how the overarching story was (don't remember the exact words so I'll just put something that has a similar meaning) unique, when the story is really just the junk food of fantasy plots. My guess is because they grew up with the original Dragon Quest games, they don't have a strong ability to differentiate between what's part of the Dragon Quest name and what's actually good, ex: some bosses suck, but that's a jrpg tradition vs. You can do good things for the world that aren't part of side quests

    • @reginlief1
      @reginlief1 5 років тому +9

      Druid T I have a habit of not watching reviews, as most of the time, if I know I’ll like a game enough to buy it, then I won’t be too disappointed. So I haven’t watched their review on DQ, despite that being probably the best place for me to look for what I’m complaining about. (Hypocrisy yay).
      It’s moreso just that they’ve pushed the game so much, which is fine, just tiresome, considering they simply say “people BuY tHiS gAmE!1!”.
      I’m not gonna say they have a sneaky agenda, simply that they probably love DQ as a whole and want it to be more popular in the West and are pushing their audience in its direction, so to speak, which I don’t like, purely because the market will consume what it wants to. But then if I had a chance to artificially inflate the old Golden sun games’ sales I’d probably take it.
      ANYWAY, paragraph over, my apologies, to anyone who cares I’m probably popping this game on my Xmas list this year.
