A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I'm still playing Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen. I'm enjoying the game more now. I thought I had finished chapter 2 but it turns out there was a lot more to do! I find the characters more interesting to play now that they're higher levels and have more spells and gear. The story is developing more too and it's looking good.

I've been playing Valheim with a buddy as well and it's been a blast. Combat and exploring the open world are great fun. I could easily let myself get lost in this game until dawn if I wanted.

Which version of DQIV are you playing?

[–] dirtySourdough 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm playing it on Nintendo DS!

A great choice! The DQ DS remakes were one of the main reasons I got a flash cartridge. I've yet to go through DQVI

Oh there's more DQ remakes? I'll have to check them out!

Yep! They remade IV, V, and VI for the DS. VII and VIII on the 3DS as well if those interest you.

Now if we can get even just a bit more news about that gorgeous III remake...
