The counter to God of War is the fact they had to release a God of War game in 2018 that was a total rebuttal to the earlier games because they aged badly and everybody got sick of them.idk I think most of the people that liked the old God of Wars still do. Just as a different sort of experience than 2018 GoW. --- It's Reyn Time. |

KamikazePotato 04/05/24 8:34:26 PM #49 | Also side note, it's wild to look back and see how quickly games came out two decades ago. GTA3, Vice City, and San Andreas being released in a 4-year span is insane. These days a 4-year development cycle for one AAA game is considered brisk.

I think its 3. It basically invented 3D open world game design. Yeah, but San Andreas was the bestselling game on the system and I think has had the most enduring cultural impact out of the PS2 GTAs But GTA3 is already off to a big lead so I might just switch anyway --- It's Reyn Time. |

DQ3 is the first game to have Classes be what JRPGs use them as today - skillsets where you can swap in and out of them, building your own ideal team. Notably, all of the class based FF games like 3 or 5 are using this system, rather than FF1's, which is really just picking 4 characters at the start of the game but not being able to change them on the fly or influence their growth.In addition to this, Dragon Quest 3 set the standard for overall world/environment gameplay design. This is something that's difficult to describe but becomes apparent if you play the game and compare it to what came after. The overall ebb and flow of JRPG pacing comes mostly from DQ3. --- It's Reyn Time. |

Normally I'd just say "well must be a Japan thing"In Japan DQ3 is culturally the most important (or 2nd-most important after FF7) JRPG to ever exist. It influenced LOTS of things. This goes beyond games - lots of other fantasy media, especially manga and anime, take all their cues from Dragon Quest III to this day. Outside of Japan, it's still incredibly important. Even if the game itself didn't sell like gangbusters in the west, it has influenced essentially all JRPGs since it came out, including the ones we did take to. DQ3 laid the groundwork for the genre as a whole. FF7 is probably more influential overall due to how it shifted the genre's focus to cinematic storytelling, but it's a close race. The original Dragon Quest is extremely bare bones by comparison and didn't set nearly as many themes/gameplay mechanics in stone. Leon's FF1/FF4 comparison is a good one. --- It's Reyn Time. |

Artifact is a rabbit hole that is going to lead to even more brainworms than you have now, so watch at your own peril (you'd have to actually beat the game from scratch again anyways).I did look that one up, and I'm okay with ignoring it. Seems more like a reference to similar Silent Hill endings than something to focus on as part of the plot. Speaking of Silent Hill references, --- It's Reyn Time. |

Red Steel might not be one of Nintendo's big esteemed franchises, but I remember it very clearly being advertised as the Wii game at the time, the one that was going to make it compete with Playstation and Microsoft in terms of "serious, mature" games, giving you realisitic katana-wielding action not possible on normal consolesCounterpoint: it was ass and anyone who actually played it (hi) decided to forget it existed. I never would have remembered Red Steel until this post. You have inflicted this upon me. --- It's Reyn Time. |
