Re: Review: Dragon Quest - A Classic JRPG Marred By Odd Choices And Technical Issues

You can’t compare one screenshot and competently assess a game’s art style. The biggest problem is how this game looks in motion, with constant stuttering rendering it very unpleasant to look at. As far as the art style goes, it’s not consistent across all elements of the game, which again makes it visually disappointing, especially when this “new improved” version looks worse than basically all previous versions. I found the stuttering so irritating as to make the game unplayable.

Re: Video: Astral Chain's Launch Trailer Brings The Hype

Not sure I believe this trailer. Maybe if a lot of other trailers come out and have similar content to this trailer, I’ll start to get on board, but as it stands I feel like this trailer is a little too focused on promoting Astral Chain. I’m happy to be proven wrong, though. Although if all the other trailers are TOO similar, I probably still won’t believe it, because if there aren’t enough dissenting opinions, it’s a clear sign of corporate and industry conspiracy.

I’m not sure about the single-player value, but this game is a bloody riot in multiplayer. The versus mode is an amusing riff on Mario Kart (but on foot), the L.O.B.S.T.E.R. party game is great for those who know their way around a controller a little, and Go Go Trolley is hilarious for just about anyone. The tagline, “It’s Just Like Regular Bowling!” makes me laugh every time I think about it for some reason. Probably not a game you’ll play for hours at a time, but a fantastic short-term diversion at a party.
