Gamers Don’t Give a Crap About Dragon’s Crown the Game

My Stupid Opinion writes:
Dragon's Crown is a game the masses of Atlus and Vanillaware fans have been anticipating release for years now. The climax of that build up has almost come upon them. European and North American gamers will soon no longer be holding themselves in suspense.

The media outlets have been gorging themselves on this game because it’s so easy to get people’s eyes on it. The formula couldn't be easier.

No, I actually want to play this game. Why would I spend $60 to see animated tiggos flopping about when I can dl teh pronz for FREE???

the whole feminist-anti-sexism-in-gaming movement is getting old and lame now

gaming = entertainment. if sex sells, then so be it.

I hope this game sells quite well (even though I know it's a niche title).

A) We need more detailed non-anime art like this in the game industry. I'm not saying anime art is bad, but Dragon's Crown has a very "western" look to it in many ways, and it's nice to see a hand-drawn art style that isn't dripping with primary colors and oversized eyes

B) We need more "arcade revival" games. This game takes the old-school beat 'em up and modernizes it by adding significant RPG elements. We need more of this. Bring back shmups, but add in 360 degree exploration (I think Thunder Force II had that). Bring back arcade racers that focus on zany fun instead of maxing out car-porn graphics (Crazy Taxi comes to mind).

cyguration4014d ago

YES!

Gosh I love beat 'em ups and every time I go out looking for them they're so hard to find on ANY system. It's such a shame.

I'm glad this game is coming and, I too, hope that it revives this genre that's been abandoned and overlooked for modern war-shooters and "gritty" reboots.

rextraordinaire4014d ago (Edited 4014d ago )

YEAH

Exactly. Sex sells, I love sex, I love video games, I want dragon's crown for what it is as a whole.

Bub up!

LiQuiZoN4014d ago

I care! Mine is already preordered! Such a fantastic looking game!

miyamoto4014d ago

Kamitani is a genius!
I am playing this game because I am a fan of Streets of Rage, Castlevania Symphony and Aria, Gunstar Heroes, Guardian Heroes, Golden Axe, Shinobi, Guilty Gear, and Vanillaware artstyle.

Yet Morrigan gets a pass every year with hers tits and Cammy with her exposed thighs and butt cheeks. And it was in the 90s. Double standard?

Dragon's Crown is no. 5 now it Japan's most wanted.

So yeah no one wants to play this game.

So sad S:

Tsar4ever014013d ago (Edited 4013d ago )

Im getting this game due its great art style and throwback to side scroll action of Golden Axe and Guardian heroes. And also im getting this because i pasted up Odin Spear and Maramusa. This game has Way more dept than it appears. The over sexed amazon and boobed sorcerer is just extra frosting to me.

And tell if not One fucking drawings, main characters or bad guys in this game wouldnt make a Badass Tatoo!?

ShinMaster4013d ago

The game is $40 - $50 btw :P

BS! i will be buying this on day 1! I might buy it for PS3 as well as PSV..

Sarobi4014d ago

I'm definitely getting this day 1

blackmanone4014d ago

Any interest in this game went out the window when I saw the art. I don't care about the sexism, feminine rights, or anything else when I play a game, but I can't get into games made for such a juvenile crowd.

cyguration4014d ago

All right, then...don't let the Sorceress' boobs smack you on the butt on your way out.

BlaqMagiq244014d ago

Your comment makes you sound like a juvenile.

iceman064013d ago

That's a bit of a shallow take on things. So, you pass on a game because there are big boobs? You assume that there is nothing of substance to the game because of the big boobs? I would just warn you not to take that approach in your personal life, you might miss out on a good thing.

MuhammadJA4013d ago

Same here. It's like these people only care about sex, and they're trying too hard to get laid but they can't.

Hicken4013d ago

Horrible, HORRIBLE reasoning, especially since the crowd isn't juvenile.

Usually, when someone takes one look at an art style and assumes it's for the immature, it's a lack of maturity on that person's behalf, not on behalf of the media in question.

Why mention PS5 when talking about PS3

425d ago
Magog425d ago

The load times in retrospect are unbearable but I did have hella fun playing couch co-op with my gf on the PS3 and PS2.

anast425d ago

Couch co-op is the best alternative.

Rynxie425d ago

Resistance 2 co-op was amazing! I wish they would remaster resistance 1-3 and killzone 1-3 for the PS5.

Let me save you the time to scroll down no Warhawk or Starhawk, 2 of the best co-op games on PS3

I have a friend who still has a sealed copy of Folklore. I’m sure it’s worth more now than it was when it released but I’m not sure how much more.

franwex1217d ago

Bought it for $5 at Walmart. I have yet to play it. But I did open it to look at it. Heh.

phoenixwing1217d ago

the game is actually good. I'd rather buy and play it than keep a sealed copy

Indigon1217d ago

Yeah I gave my brother my PS3 for free with a lot of games but I kept Folklore.

Teflon021217d ago

Folklore is an amazing game. Should have bought 2 copies. 1 to play and one to keep

Seraphim1216d ago

yeah I still have a sealed copy of Folklore too. I almost never do this but I had originally rented it. One day I saw it for like $20 at Walmart so picked up a copy. Always meant to re-play it but just never did. I think in part because it never got trophy support[?]. It was an interesting and unique game that didn't get the love it deserved.

I see Trails of Cold Steel II is tagged. Not sure where PS3 prices sit but the PS4 version of both Trails I and II were around $140 as recently as a little over a month ago. Ended up buying both of them digitally then buying III and IV on disc. Shame I kept putting off buying them. Just a couple months prior you could still get them both for about $45 each. Anyway I'm almost finished with II and hopefully be playing III and IV next.

Petebloodyonion1216d ago

I would suggest using price charting to evaluate the value of a past game.
https://www.pricecharting.c...
value for the game new is 60$

Hawk1986661216d ago

Its not worth much, about £20.

monkey6021216d ago

I want Folklore. I've been trying to find it for some time now. It's one of the only games set in Ireland so I've been busting to play it some time

And wait for emulation and/or till their PS3 dies?

franwex1217d ago

3D Dot Game Heroes is a cool game that may soon go up in price too. I enjoyed it.

Indigon1217d ago

That's one that has been quite hard to find for some time.

Godmars2901216d ago (Edited 1216d ago )

At least you didn't own ALL Panzer Dragoon entries only to sell them all on ebay.

Don't talk to me about seller's regret...

nommers1217d ago

I'm so glad I kept my copy of this game.

Soy1217d ago

Great game, lots of fun - and definitely tougher to find. I'm glad I kept mine.

Teflon021217d ago

Glad I still have it. One of my fav games that gen

PS1, PS2 and PS3 BC right now is pointless. The top games are extremely overpriced or aren't available anywhere anymore. The best that can happen is Sony putting all the games on the PSN and/or PS Now. That way we all can play the classics, with trophies and some optimizations.

Godmars2901216d ago

Pointless, unless you have a 2st stage production model PS3.

One have to get fixed, but still, I've got it.

gold_drake1216d ago

exvuse me
i still play games on my ps2.

Gardenia1216d ago

That's because you only think about yourself. 90% of gamers don't have PS1, PS2 or PS3 games lying around. What do think is going to happen when there is BC and games like Vagrant Story, MGS, Suikoden 2 will be on sale? The few that are will be sold for hundreds of Euro's/Dollars.

Digital is the only option for everyone to be able to play those games.

gold_drake1216d ago (Edited 1216d ago )

ooff yea im only thinking about myself by playing my ps2 games haha.
the whole point about my reply was that, BC is not pointless. alot of ppl still have their old games mind you.

HankHill1216d ago

Nobody agrees with you so I guess you're the one only thinking about themself.

TheColbertinator1216d ago

Still have the Neptunia box sets unopened. Every year they get more valuable
