>Already out in Japan
>Still no word on an English version
Why do they do it? Just to watch us suffer?
I guess I can import it once I have a better handle on moonrunes, but still god dammit.
>>339272569
because the first one bombed hard on PS4 and also on Steam
>>339272870
Well yeah the first one was mediocre, but the new one looks way better.
I've still got the first game lying around, haven't opened it yet. Did they ever release a Sofia skin for the female protagonist? It irks me that it wasn't one of the first things they put in.
>>339273140
I don't think they're ever gonna have the heroes of the main games playable
>>339273590
Didn't they have hero skins for DQV? Maybe I'm not remembering correctly.
Games don't get localized, because they will probably cost more to localize, than it would to not localize them due to how shitty they sell outside japan.
>>339272870
0 Advertisement sure helped, I mean nobody knew that shit was on STEAM. Also why the fuck did they give it a -33% discount on that store? COME THE FUCK ON SQUARE ENIX.
>>339273865
I don't think there was any DLC at all, the PC version came with some bonus Slime themed weapons but that's all. There were alternate costumes but for most characters they were just recolors. Surprisingly I don't think they ever bothered with DLC costumes.
>>339274154
Really? I could've sworn I looked up a bunch of DQ mainline character skins as DLC. Maybe they were Japan only? That would suck...
>>339274258
Possibly. I don't see any DLC on the Steam page though, maybe the menu is in-game or something and I just never noticed it.
Why didn't you buy it /v/?
>>339274390
I just checked, looks like it was just the DQIII protagonist outfits for the hero/heroine. Pity. I hope they bother to put in more options for the second game.
>>339274642
Well, I bought the one that was available in my region. I'm not sure we even got that one, PAL kind of sucks for Japanese game releases.
>>339275045
Oh yeah, that might've been included with the PC version? I'm not gonna bother reinstalling the game just to check. I'm amazed that KT of all devs didn't bother flooding the game with DLC costumes. I guess they must've started working on the second game almost immediately or something.
>>339274642
I did buy it though
>>339272569
I hope it does come out here. I avoided the first one because buying the first title in a musou series is always a waste of money
>>339274642
Because it ran like shit and was horribly unoptimized.
>>339275484
I bought it too at full price even kinda regretted it but 2 is sounding waaaaaay better so im optimistic for a steam port again.
>>339277723
It wasn't even really a musou outside of the combat mechanics.
The missions were more of a weird blend of action RPG or a janky ass tower defense.
>>339274642
Because its only 33% off
>>339277723
it's not even musou, it's a shit aRPG with some similar to musou things
I wish I never bought first one
>>339274154
The slime weapons were pre-order bonus for the PS4 version and I guess just included in the Steam version.
I dont know about any other DLC for the game
>>339277830
Even still there is no point buying anything from Koei Tecmo when you can just wait for the highly superior followup a year later
>>339274007
By that, do you mean eview bribes or commercials ?
Because seeing some weirdo anime game on the TV isn't gonna make people buy this game
>>339277824
It was a pretty barebones port but besides some controller issues I didn't have any problems running it
>>339277829Green Man Gaming had a solid preorder discount for the steamcode.
Think it'll get a PC version? I could get the PS4 version, but the only guy I know who would play with me is on PC.
>>339277978
I doubt they gave the localization enough money/effort to bother advertising it, but any advertisement is better than none at all.
>>339274007
It's more because Dragon Quest never got to build a big fanbase in the west like Final Fantasy. There is no installed player base which means you need to actually market your game.
>no model rips of the first game at all
>more than likely no model rips of this one
I just want my fucking SFM porn
>>339278128
If they bother releasing it outside of Japan it probably will. If it stays Japan only you should probably just import the PS4 version or something.
>>339274642
Because it's a DQ game. On PC.
>>339274642
I bought the special edition on PS4.
>>339272986
musuo is an objectively shit genre.
>>339278232
no its not. it's a generic shit musuo just like that zelda one or any dynasty warriors. a real dragon quest like 10 or joker would be a hype machine
>>339272569
It took them a couple months to announce DQ builders was getting a localization after it released in Japan. This game literally just came out this week.
I really hope they do decide to localize it though. Looks like it is basically the first game except even more characters and online multiplayer which sounds like fun.
>>339278724
>>339278895
learn to spell, then judge other genres with your shit taste.
>>339279040
>Literally came out this week.
6 months ago.
>>339279213
Heroes 2 came out the other day. Builders came out 6 months ago and was only recently announced that it's being localized
>>339278724
Eh people like different things. Musou is the top of the hack n slash genre. Character action games are also great, but musou have a different appeal to them. I find musou games to be by far the most enjoyable game to play when you're stressed or tired.
Omega Force just does a really good job when they want to. Decent production values, great character models, satisfying movesets, good music, etc... I've been having a shit ton of fun playing Samurai Warriors 4 Empires recently and I plan to try Pirate Warriors 3 soon too as I've never played one.
The issue with musou games is that more and more they are making shitty half assed games with the intention of just making add ons and then followups.
Hyrule Warriors was great too.
>>339279356
Oh my bad.
>>339279403
>and I plan to try Pirate Warriors 3 soon too as I've never played one.
Fair warning, the PC version looks like garbage compared to the PS3 version for some reason. Still plays fine though. There's some file floating around you can dump into the game folder to at least fix some things like draw distance.
>>339279696
I'm getting it on PS4. I'm well aware of how shitty the PS3, Vite, and PC versions of the game are
>>339272569
Do american companies do the same thing? Release game exclusively in America than release in europe and japan months or years later?
>>339280974
Nope and if it is it's either a literally who shovelware game or an indie dev who only knows english.
>>339280974
I can't think of any major examples where Europe is concerned. Ubisoft is a bunch of french fucks so obviously they release in Europe as soon as possible, and EA and Activision are fucking gigantic and love money so they obviously aren't just gonna give up a whole market.
Japan I'm not sure about though. Square Enix publishes stuff in Japan for a ton of other devs. They publish Call of Duty there, among other things.
>>339272569
DQ Heroes Maribel is sexy! SEXY!
>>339282071
when are we going to play her game?
>>339272569
looks like no more HxH for a while then.
>>339283268
August 26th 2000.
>>339282071
She looks fat in this pic.
>>339285323
rude
>>339285323
>>339285323
Not really, her arms and face are thin
Stupid thickfags
How about an actual game and not a mediocre musou?
>>339286104
this shit isn't musou, not even close
just mediocre aRPG with similar to musou but more basic moveset
>>339286104
SoonHonestly my excitement for this game can barely be contained. DQ8 was a wonderful journey which still persists in my mind to this day. The prospect of DQ11 doing the same and more, all while looking ever so beautiful just overwhelms me with hype. I know the game itself will deliver, and if they're willing to localize Builders I can 100% guarantee we'd get this too.
>>339286704
I've been waiting for another DQ in the style of 8 for a longass time now
If we had actually been getting more of the Monsters games or DQ10 in the meantime it could've controlled my extreme thirst a little but we all know how that went.
>>339274642
I bought it on PS4 - even though I already played it in Japanese - to support the localization, then the PC version was announced a month after that came out. I kinda wanted to double dip, but it wasn't worth it.
>>339282071
>Voiced by Yuuki Aoi
Instantly the cutest girl.
>>339286704
I think DQ builders is the dumbest thing to come out of the franchise in a while and I can't believe they're localizing that over other titles. The minecraft frenzy isn't what it used to be and they're late to the game.
>>339288573
Towns are one of my favorite parts of DQ so a game where I get to build one while protecting it's inhabitants seems up my alley.
I just hope you can set the town theme yourself.

Good thing it's not musou.
>>339288876
How is it not?
