Queues have unsurprisingly been massive in length for the launch of the long awaited Dragon Quest XI, the first new single-player entry into the franchise in over 5 years, clearly demonstrating the passion that gamers still possess for the legendary RPG.
Some of the ridiculously long lines:
Dragon Quest XI is available now for the 3DS and PS4 now.
I clearly don’t understand the fandom behind it. I mean some of them look like dragon ball dudes and the net has a f♥♥k ton of it. It’s just… weird.
now i know Hitsus x Hiatsus will go back to Hiatsus mode again
Dragon Quest is basically a national holiday in Japan. In the past, companies would shut down for the day because a majority of their employees skip work to buy the game.
And yet another piece of s♥♥t JRPG whose mechanics are stuck in 1988… Bah humbug.
you can f♥♥k yourself, pls?? this comment only shows how unhappy you are about your self and your life. You are just pathetic. What have you produced by yourself today? besides s♥♥t ? because unless you´ve created some serious form of art, you have no right to say that about DQ.
Nice bait. Up vote. 12/10. Best comment – FBI
Nice try troll.
Go back to nothing but FPS clones in the West.
Please don’t talk s♥♥t about something you clearly know jack s♥♥t about.
Try playing a Dragon Quest game sometime. The series hasn’t put realistic graphics above everything else, like certain other well known RPGs. It’s old school all the way.
I guess they don’t know about digital purchases in Japan yet.
these are local stores and if you buy them physical some stores will give out prizes and freebies or some coupons. having a line outside of your shop is a good advertisement for other people who are passing by.
Bull. s♥♥t. Evidently the line is only for fans and god bless any brave naive soul wondering what the line is about. At least if it is food like ramen etc, there’s a payoff: the flavor rendition that store is selling which, if you find it in your own taste to be good, you now have an incentive to go back.
The fucking gamestore has none of that payoff and the only thing you could hope for are discounts for purchasing “in-event”. If you’re not participating in that said event, you’re screwed for buying another game that’s not in the event requirements.
If I’m passing by and I see that I would have to wait hours to get what I want, I’d go to the next store, thank you very much.
But they still can pre-order physical copy with all the bonuses.
