Thread 724573378

I've been playing DQ1 for 10 hours, holy fucking shit the Draconian Quest is overtuned.

I'm very high level for a boss encounter of two Dragon Zombies, I have 310 HP and best Ice resist gear from grinding Gold Golems, these dragons can deal anywhere from 30 HP to 400 HP a round. There's no crowd control, no spells other than Buff from the Faerie Blade that can take this range down to 30 HP to 300 HP.
All of this would be fine if I was playing DQ2 with a party of characters, but I have only one. This is the kind of bullshit difficulty I fucking hate, where you're hard level checked. I've beaten DQ8 at pretty much purely Boss EXP and finished at level 28, so it's not me.

I was so excited for this game and now I kinda fucking hate it.

That game is complete garbage. Why are you even playing it? You play it muted at least, right? The battle theme will drive anyone insane.
There really is no reason for any human being to play such an awful "game."

>>724573869
you are a fag an your opinion is ignored.

>>724573869
Why are you mentally ill? Is it because sugiyama called you a faggot or because your a filthy chink?

Just grind more lol

I dont know about these basedmakes but DQ1 is not a game Id ever want to make harder.
Or easier for that matter.

>hard mode is actually hard

This site is fucking stupid.

meds nigger

Dragon Quest never puts up a wall like that, even with the draconian difficulties that new games are offering, so I don't think that would be the case with this new game either.
If you're in a situation where you lose 100% of the time, and you're not brutally underleveled, then you've definitely missed something. Some item, or skill, or magic, something that helps you resolve the situation.
DQ battles are like card games, you won't always win, but you can considerably increase your chances of victory with the right cards in your hand.

How are you being filtered by DQ1 of all games?

holy fuck there is a legitimate epidemic of retard anons who play games on the intentionally hard HARD labeled difficulty because they're so sure of themselves and when inevitably the game is HARD they complain it's the game's fucking problem and not theirs for surprised pikachu facing at their own fucking choice. pic related

>resist gear in dq1
What the fuck. The game notoriously has no attack attributes.

>>724578632
I typed basedmake though

>>724578634
cant blame them.
too many "hard" modes are piss easy and were obviously normal mode before they had to be dumbed down for the masses.
gotta play some puzzle or rhythm games where harder difficulties will humble anybody.

>>724579196
we're talking about an RPG
when people say they want difficulty from an RPG what they really want is unfairness
they want something like mot in SMT3 just assraping you repeatedly from the first round because you didn't prepare in advance for the worst case scenario

DQ1 is a baby game for brainlets. 0 complexity, no systems to fiddle around with

>>724579292
not necessarily.
people celebrated the hard mode option in gen5 pokemon and that just made the game less of an absolute babby mode walk in the park.
of course gamefreak fucked up the distribution of it.

DQ1 isn't DQ8, idk how the remake is since I haven't started yet, but what you're describing is the normal DQ1 experience, I don't know why you thought otherwise or why you're playing on draconian if you're upset with it

>>724579296
DQ1 can't even be considered an RPG, in my opinion. It's more like an adventure game. The real challenge is figuring out what to do with the information and items you collect. It's no different from an adventure game where you have to solve puzzles with the items you find when exploring.
The battles in DQ1 function more as a check to see if you've done what's necessary to proceed to the new regions...
You can't compare DQ1 with proper RPGs, like Ultima 4, for example, which was released a year earlier and has legitimate RPG systems despite being primitive as fuck.

I'm at the beginning of Draconian quest so far and its very easy, If its anything like the original then if you cant win a fight its just that you need to grind more, Almost the entirety of the original game is grinding in order to unlock the healing spells that will keep you alive for long enough.

What I've found ridiculous so far is the fairy flute being in plain sight in Kol

>>724578938
The original was also 1v1 fights. The remake is not a 1-to-1 copy of the original.

>>724583747
Adding on to the part about the Fairy Flute, you also have an NPC in Rimuldar who informs you of the Flute's location as if it's some esoteric secret once you tell him where the girl he is waiting for is at.

The only useful "directions" I've gotten from an NPC were the ones about treasures hidden in the little secret area in the desert north of Rimuldar. If you search the shadow of the tree that's on the left side of the rocks by the pots, you find an Edged Boomerang, and, if you circle around the aforementioned rocks, you can find a pretty good chest armor just laying on the ground.

>complained that the remake was going to be "too easy" because of optional quest markers
>now complain that it's too hard because you picked hard mode

>>724573378 (OP)
They're called Drag-on Quest because they drag on with all that fucking mandatory grinding.

DQ2 has four party members now, right? If so I think the Draconian Quest option is basically required, the original was one of the harder ones with three members.

>>724583747
lol, nothing is in plain sight in the real game.

>>724589606
That's what emulation and fast forward are for.
