Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker. Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2. A Joker Review! A video for you. Today on Questrospective, we're going to break down the majority of the Joker sub-series and talk about how it's contributions helped evolve the Dragon Quest Monsters formula. What you might not know is: Joker is basically the blueprint for modern Monsters- and even a little bit of mainline Dragon Que...

It's not an April Fool's Joke! It's time to take a look at Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth in our ongoing Like A Dragon video series!

Did Tsuyoshi Furuta get his grubby hands on this one, or is Kazunobu Takeuchi's fresh contributions curbing t...

Normally, I skip the entries in a series I’m covering if they aren’t localized in English. I do this because A. I only speak and read English and Spanish, so anything in a different language is a bit hard to get through, B. Fan translations are a lot of work, and not every game is graced with one. And C. I like being consistent; I don’t want to cover one non-localized title and then not cover t...

The Dark Prince is the first Dragon Quest Monsters game to come out in the West in over seven years. Does it live up to the expectation of rabid fans everywhere? Will Square Enix ever learn how to market their games again? Can GC Vazquez come up with interesting video descriptions that aren't just copy and pasting his script? The future will know. Kick back, relax, and settle in to a Dragon Que...

If you’ve been here before you know how this works: For Like A Dragon spin-offs, I try to avoid the thoughtful, storyteller approach in favor of a list of valuable reasons for why you should play them. Ryu Ga Gotoku spin-offs tend to lean more on the side of having a fun romp through a fictional world based on a historic time period, wacky premise, or intellectual property- as opposed to provid...

Recently I wrapped up a playthrough of Mass Effect 1 Legendary Edition. Mass Effect was a formative trilogy of RPGs for me in high school, so I wanted to revisit a perceived classic to reevaluate how I felt about it. Most of it held up!

Replay Value is Nonsense

When I choose a video game to play, I balance a ton of factors against one another until I sift out the misfits, and am left with one matching the time and place I’m looking to play it in. Factors can range from main story length, to genre, to whether or not it’s an indie- you name it. But I’ve noticed I’ve never really cared much for one, particular, popular criteria: Replay Value. I see it me...
A Thirty-Minute Roast of Lost Judgment
Просмотров 8 тыс.10 месяцев назад
The original Judgment was a flawed if earnest attempt at crossing legal drama with detective mystery. Sure, the mystery was as exciting as waiting in-line at the self check-out of your nearest discount grocery store, and the dialogue was pumped full of more fun facts than a bar owner hosting trivia night to keep the lights on, but it had promise. Takuya Kimura and Shinshu Fuji had great on-scre...
The Greatest Game I've Ever Read
Просмотров 3,7 тыс.11 месяцев назад
When I was a kid, my parents weren’t the most adamant about giving me new games to play. They were expensive, they were always an argument waiting to happen between my brother and I, and they were annoying to listen to in the living room. So no new releases for me. No old ones either as long as they were still above an arbitrary price point my parents would move the goalposts on in order to fee...

This time, this time we’ve got some ground to cover. If there’s one thing game developers can’t get enough of, it’s packing in an entire other game into one they’re already working on. And there’s nothing, nothing more popular than building your own card game in the middle of your other, bigger game development project, and finding an organic way to include it in the deadline. But before we can...
Kasuga Ichiban Is Like A Dragon's Greatest Hero

Previously, I revisited Dragon Quest because Like A Dragon Seven has been said to be directly inspired by it. I’m hesitant to call Like A Dragon “Like A Dragon Quest” because in truth it borrows much from other RPGs as well. The job system and even unique character classes each party member can take are definitely reminiscent of Dragon Quest. Ichiban’s Hero class is parallel with Dragon Quest 3...

    They simply didn't get localized. You can't forget something you didn't get. Like it happens with a lot of amazing DS and 3DS games stuck in Japan. I bet in Japan they still remember and play these DQ games. Hope we get a localized remaster collection or something but I doubt it.

    @IWriteTooMuchForBleachIGuess 9 дней назад

    This is well timed. These last few days I've been trying to try Terry's Wonderland, but be it the "-ware" side or "game" side perhaps because of Nintendo's actions lately...I can't seem to find a way to play it in English or the process is too complicated for me. Mysterious Key though is an available option that's working and ready to start. I'm curious if I should just skip Terry's Wonderland and settle for that or get some insight on why it's a struggle to even setup for me otherwise. I don't necessarily want to "spoil" myself on a "better" game, I'd like to get as much value out of the franchise as possible as I've only played 4/7 Entries! As for this video itself you've convinced me that Clashes returning might be the thing that could save Dark Prince's PVP. 💀 (Praying for the alleged content update.)

    GC got me into Dragon Quest and JRPGs in general. Now, it's my favourite genre of gaming. Final Fantasy always seemed imposing, though I was intruiged by the mechanics and storytelling and GC made Dragon Quest seem more manageable. In hindsight, I would actually say that late game Dragon Quest to Final Fantasy are reversed, with Dragon Quest being the harder ones in my opinion, but that's likely due to the more limited resources for newer players to learn boss strategies etc with DQ being less popular in the West comparitively. Anyway, it's great to see a new video from one of my favourite video game essayists out there!

  • @MysticRyokan
    @MysticRyokan 9 дней назад

    I feel like Dragon Quest Monsters 1+2 is especially forgotten so much so that the team that tried a fan translation even forgot about it. Which is unfortunate cause for people in the west we really didn't know what we're missing out on, these are hidden gems. the monsters 3DS games had 3D monsters in an overworld with hundreds of them to collect, years before Pokemon did the same (this coming from a die hard pokemon fan) these games really need more praise and unfortunate it was Akira Toryama's passing that brought the series to my attention

I don't think I want to hear that original dqm battle theme ever again at this point lol

I also like how simple and relaxing the game is with the art style. I am not over overwhelmed with special effect that muddy the visuals. Everytime I see a pretty barmaid or hit 100% build up, it reminds me of the anime Dragonball. RIP Toriyama!

And they always show an animationn the a cut, then they show the impact. Instead of showing all in 1 SCENE just like in dqxi.. I mean this game cost 60 euros, as much as a main title.

    I'm not really trying to make a big point or excuse bad writing here, just two things that came to mind: 1. Yakuza is Satire. Female characters in the series are caricatures of themselves the same way the male cast is. Woman mostly are depicted as either cute or sexy dolls who are passive, subservient, insecure etc... (with exceptions, of course) while most of the important men are hyper masculin, proactive, stoic badasses, always talking about what it means to be a man/leader/father/Yakuza member. 2. Yakuza families are literal Patriarchies, where the concept of being fathers and sons is the basis upon which the entire criminal organization is built
