Scarlet V: The Video Game Stigma

Clint plays Lollipop Chainsaw and watches his life flash before him as he once more insists that games are culturally valid in spite of themselves:

After a stress filled week rife with the jovial highs of college registration and the harrowing lows of student loan applications I'm back full force and ready to run roughshod over whatever topic happens to haphazardly wander into my mind's peripheral vision. The field I've chosen to pursue in my second trip to the hallowed halls of higher learning is game art and design so the topic at hand has already made itself readily apparent. Well, unless this whole The Player Character gig starts paying dividends and continued secondary education is no longer my passport to a contemptuous lifetime of enjoyable toil. In other words I suggest you immediately donate to our non-existent Kickstarter. Premium members will be deigned worthy to grace my Facebook request box with a humble plea for friendship. I won't ever accept but you'll at least have the golden opportunity. Anyway, despite my undying passion for the video game industry I find myself entering it with a certain amount of trepidation. Yes, I know, that last sentence affords me the unique opportunity to make a horrendously filthy joke but this is a serious topic so I have to set a serious tone. I'll take a cue from the majority of my bodily orifices and make sure this article remains a penetration free zone.

I've never played a DQ game, but this honestly makes me want to check it out. I really dig that art style.

Grab DQ III HD/2D Remake. It comes chronologically before these two. It's out now.

And, if you play it first, the dev said there's a surprise for when you play I & II.

Cacabunga84d ago

Yes, the perfect fit for PS Portal

I never played one till I played 11 and as an old school turnbased fella, I don't know why i waited so long. Its pure turnbased jrpg goodness. If that's your cup of tea you have to give them a try. Now I'm gonna play all of them

I remember getting Dragon Warrior for free with a one year subscription to Nintendo Power. Super deal! Might just have to pick it up again.

Numbers 6-9 were some of my absolute favorite early gen PS3 games. I'm still bitter about Incognito and Japan Studio.

Goodguy01384d ago

The white knight chronicles and infamous games really need to come to modern platforms. MAG I really miss...poor zipper. The ps3 was definitely a unique console despite it being the worst home console of PlayStation.

Dragon Quest VIII 4th? Yikes. That's easily number 1 for me. I'd love to be able to play it again on newer consoles.

Zeldafan64583d ago

III, XI and VIII are my top 3 in that order. While I think XI is the better game overall my nostalgia for III will never be beat.

thorstein83d ago

3 for me too because I loved that you could build your own town. Then the monster hunting and monster arena were such a great side distraction.

And, of course, the companions, jobs etc.
