I enjoy walking around. I do it daily.

[Yoshi]

kof must be like level 1,000,000!

Even at that level, I can never beat the big boss my wife owns me for free

[Tsubaki]

Which is why Tsubaki's comment is so funny. He lost interest once he heard you would have to control movement while level grinding.

Maybe, but remember I haven't played DQ since the first (which I disliked). I just want to try a recent DQ to see if my opinion will change. I do the same for other games (Final Fantasy, Tales) although they've yet to change my initial opinion...

Also, I was under the impression that DQ is grinderific not for difficulty/lack-of reasons.

Oh and Yoshi, yes. That's a huge reason why I think Metroidvanias are absolute garbage. The other reason is they took out the platforming too.

Well this is a great day for my router to take a shit.

I get a thread with my name in it bearing some of the most awful videogame news I've ever read in my life and I have no time to type some unread diatribe about it.

Quite simply - it's thanks to people like Yoshi, who had resisted buying a DS for so long and then just couldn't bear not being able to play the latest shitcoil in a series that they have emotional attachment towards, that this has happened. Thanks guys, you have permanently fucked everything up.

Barring the highly minimal chance that this is multiplatform, RIP DQ. Nice knowing you.I wouldn't be so optimistic - that is unless you're talking about a PS3 revision of DQ9 in 2011.

Ok I will elaborate. You have this odd anger towards handheld gaming in general, and that there's some reason to stand on odd principals of gaming that some one buying a handheld to play the games they want to play are part of a problem. A problem that doesn't exist.

This isn't the some of the most awful video game news ever. There is no reason to think that the game will terrible. Writing off a game simply because of the system it will be on is garbage. Unless they take decades leap back and put it on Atari Lynx or some shit.

This is you not giving Enix or the DS any credit. So you don't like Handhelds whoopity fuckin do. I remember you in another thread some how claiming that games are far more about graphics then they actually are. If that was the case then games like State of Emergency with fancy ass graphics would be regarded as better then Super Metroid with simple sprites and scaling type shit. I would go further but for you to write off DQIX because it's not going to be on Wii/360/ or PS2 or 3 or whatever is short sighted idiocy the likes of which I haven't of for a long time, and I don't want to risk Burgundy banning me especially since I got "warned" for calling you a moron.

BTW if this is too much Burgundy I'll clear this post out and drop the whole issue. I'm not big on being banned.

He never said anything about the game being trash.

Why else would it be "awful news"?

[bbobb]

Why else would it be "awful news"?

Because he loves DQ and hates portables, refusing to play games on portables. Thus he won't get to play the new DQ, and he finds that awful.

[Joust Williams]

He has a point though. If Ion Storm (ok, someone that still exists) made a new Deus Ex on DS, PSP or Wii, I would be ripshit. I didn't spend tons of money on a setup so I can play with one of those.

Then he's limiting himself and preventing himself from what can be an enjoyable experience due to his arbitrary hatred of handhelds. Why would anyone do that to themselves?
