Rune Factory 4. I'll probably play this game for ten or fifteen more years at this rate. :lol:

There's a game I've never been able to get in to. A lot of people really, REALLY like that game but try as I might I can't muster up any enthusiasm while playing.

What about the other games in the series?

If VII is your first DQ game, I could understand where you're coming from. I know a lot of people think the games feel very dated, as Enix has really held onto tradition and, for the most part, keeps a lot of things from the NES days, like game mechanics and even sound effects.

As a long time fan, I don't recall having too many complaints about the game. I think I had more complaints about IX than VII, and IX is an awesome game.

Admittedly, this was the Android version which lacks the voice-acting that the same people claim adds to the charm, but from what I played the mechanics seemed basic and I didn't really care about the characters or story.

I don't remember the PSX version having voice acting (it's been over 15 years), but if you don't care for the game without it, I doubt having it in would change your opinion at all.

Does it pick up at all after the first five hours?

From what I remember, no, not really. Five hours is probably about as far as I got, though.

Not to say that I quit playing due to lack of interest.

Moonblood, which is a Doom 2 wad. It's not bad, a bit reminiscent of Icarus, which I played a few weeks ago. The maps haven't been very differentiated from each other though, and I'm not sure that this game will be suited to a 32-level megawad. It has a rather washed out palette also, which appears to have been deliberately created.

^^Oh, well. I'm not sure if I like VIII yet or not, actually. I might see if XI looks fun once it comes out over here.

D'aww, silly goose.

I'm not sure that what you said still holds. I only really want to know what I'm missing, if anything, about DQ8. I must still be missing SOMETHING, because people are crazy about this game and from what I played it felt like a whole lot of nothing.

I've been playing the Crash Bandicoot remakes. I'm a huge fan of the series, and in general I like these remakes because they're VERY accurate to the originals. The slight discrepancies in control do bother me, and if feels like they needed to do more testing and fixing of issues... there are many points where I was screwed over by the new controls and by broken hitboxes, and watching other playthroughs has confirmed this
