  • Half-assed DQ for Wii

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

Why is it that you always post about things that you don't find interesting?

Also, just to educate you, it is not a "Half assed DQ game", DQ7 was a "half assed DQ game." This game that you linked to is Dragon Quest Swords, a totally different spinoff series. Kind of like Paper Mario to the main Super Mario series, or Final Fantasy Tactics to the main Final Fantasy series; or more closely, Dragon Quest Monsters.

Are you insinuating that I never post a positive thread about any game? I can find mountains of evidence against that if that's the case (ie. Shadow of the Colossus, Guitar Hero, Viewtiful Joe; just to name a few recent ones).

I know what the game is, I was just saying that it's not really a DQ game. It's an on-rails FPS rather than an RPG and an uninteresting sounding one at that, so nothing really to get excited about.

I just fail to see the purpose of posting one sentence about an unreleased, unreviewed, low-profile game just to say it looks uninteresting.

It's hardly low profile, it does look like shit and it's basically just a brushed up Kenshin.

THat's kinda the point I was making. It's got the DQ game, but it's not really DQ and it doesn't look interesting to boot.

I'm just on Seek's hit list now that I've actually said something bad about Nintendo that he can remember :-)

I kinda have to agree... why bother posting about something you aren't interested in?

Why not just post a story about a kitty in Anytown, AK that got stuck in a tree and burned down a city block?

I was interested in it, until I read that article. I was hoping it was an action RPG, not an on-rails FPS. When they announced DQ for the Wii, it was a big deal
