Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake Playstation 5 Remaster Review

Dragon Quest 3 HD 2-2D Remake is one of those games that truly show how these games should be done. They don’t try to change the original, they simply improve the orginal by updating it for a modern audience while keeping what people loved about the initial release.

For starters, you will need to create your own character, take a little quiz, and find out what your personality is. This will help determine your stat growth. When you make your group, you will essentially be assigned random ones as you choose a vocation for each member. Don’t worry, there are plenty of ways to change these during your adventure, and you can even swap out people pretty easily. I definitely recommend keeping a monster rangler with you at all times, however. I didn’t do this, and finding friendly monsters to help me in the arena became annoying. There is an item known as Musk that can help replace them, and a move the thief learns also helps, but it is easier to just have a wrangler.

The story itself is nice, but it is the typical you are the child of a great hero and go on a quest to defeat a great evil. You will spend part of the game finding orbs and following in your father’s footsteps. I won’t say more than that because I don’t want to spoil anything, but most of you will already know where this story is going.

The combat is also a typical turn-based adventure, but it is also one of the more challenging games in the series. The difficulty spikes can be brutal if you aren’t expecting them, and when you change vocations for your other characters, they restart at level one and lose half of their stats. This is a great way for people to build an extensive spell and ability list, and a character that has reached level 20 in two different vocations will absolutely be stronger than a character that has reached level 30 in one. (It takes a similar amount of experience to do this.) So it is worth doing this, but choosing when and how is important.

As always, killing metal slimes before they run away is important for leveling

If you had any reservations about picking up the HD remakes of Dragon Quest, lay them to bed and pick them up. They are fantastic, and are easily up there with Suikoden 1 HD Remaster Review in quality of Remakes and Remasters. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

The Conjuring: Last Rites

The Conjuring: Last Rights is basically the perfect example of how to not make a AAA horror movie. As I do every year around my birthday, I crashed at @torstenvblog house, ordered pizza, and we watched movies. Nine this year to be exact, and I am sure you will be reading about the rest soon enough from him. This one, however, I insisted on writing about myself.

The movie itself mostly revolves around the Warren family and how Ed and Lorrain had a daughter, Judy. They had stopped their investigations for years by the time the Smurl family haunting had taken place, and they were focusing on Judy’s upcoming wedding.

This obviously has nothing to do with the Smurl house, but they did shoehorn Judy having visions and whatnot into this about the Smurl house and the demon that is haunting the family; they came from a mirror shown earlier in the movie connecting the Warrens and Smurls. This never happened in real life, by the way.

In fact, the entire movie never even bothers to make you care about the Smurl family. You spend very little time with them. The little kids are mostly shown running around, playing. The older kids scream a bit about how they can’t keep living like this, but outside of a few scenes, they never really show what this even is. We do get a couple of great scenes towards the end where one daughter finds a video from her birthday and is chased by a crazy ghost with an axe, and this is the same night we see the father molested by one. This, however, is after she screams about living like this; what was going on before then is very little that is even mentioned.

Even ignoring that I come from the same area as this Smurl house (I’ve literally driven past it more than once in my travels) and shared emails with people who lived there while working on a book and helping a friend with a podcast (decades of people who lived there have denied anything happening there, going all the way back to the 1980s) and even ignoring the fact I personally think the Warrens are probably frauds, the potental for this to be a good movie exist. The first two Conjuring movies are good. This movie, however, does everything wrong, and nobody should ever watch this pile of garbage. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Romancing SaGa -Minstrel Song- Remastered International Review

Romancing SaGa -Minstrel Song- Remastered International was sent to me to check out by Red Art Games and, of course, Square Enix. It is always appreciated. It is also important to note that if you already own the 2022 version of Minstrel Saga and want to access new things released in the international version of the game:

Features

Localization in French, German, Italian and Spanish (exclusive to the International edition)
Full HD graphical update
Schiele, Marina, Monica and Flammar can now be recruited
Enhanced and more difficult bosses
High speed mode
Mini Maps
New Game+ mode
Voices in either Japanese or English

You will need to buy this separately. Now on to my actual review.

The story itself depends on which of the 8 characters you pick to start, they are all different, and how hard they are to start changes quite a bit. In fact, there are a number of guides for older versions of the game, and I strongly advise you to look one of them up if you aren’t familiar with this series. It might save you hours of headache and possibly needing to start over, as certain characters are very much intended for second and third play-throughs.

Another thing to know, and this is a thing that you may love, and you may hate it. Grinding will not only help you raise stats and learn moves, but it will also increase things called your battle rank and your event rank. This will mean your current gear will not be able to handle the monsters that scale with your level. Worse, as your event rank climbs, some quests become completely locked. Those rewards will disappear unless you start a new game. This now makes the game even harder and forces you into endgame content that you aren’t equipped to do. This isn’t to say you shouldn’t fight at all, but many RPGs allow you to outlevel your problems, and this is not one of them.

This brings us to graphics. Graphically, this is probably the best way to play this game, but it is still very behind modern times. They feel very slow and out of place compared to modern games, and honestly, while they are better than ever, they still look rough.

I will say this: the Saga series as a whole has always been a series that you either love or hate. This game won’t suddenly make you a fan. Fans of the series, however, will love this game, and if you missed out on the 2022 release, this is a 2nd chance to pick it up with some great add-ons that made the best version even better. Personally, I didn’t enjoy my time with it; I felt it was a 6/10 game that was better left in the past. Fans of the series, however, will absolutely disagree with me, and I am fine with that. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

My Wife Threw Out My Card Collection (So I Bought a Dump to Find Them All) Steam Review

My Wife Threw Out My Card Collection (So I Bought a Dump to Find Them All) might be the game with the longest name I’ve ever reviewed, and was sent to me by the nice people over at Polden Publishing.

The game is quite simple, your wife tossed out your prized card collection, so now you are combing through the garbage dump you bought to find them all. So you spend your time filling a garbage bag with bottles, ammo boxes, and various other garbage, then tossing them into what appears to be a mimic for money. When you run out of energy, you grab some beer from a nearby vending machine to get more.

Every so often, you will come across something of real value that you can sell in the online store for a bit more money than the garbage sells for. This can be used to buy various upgrades, such as a bigger bag, more energy, better beer, or even a dog. This will let you rummage through your garbage piles faster, so you can find more cards or valuables.

You can also occasionally find birds and return them to their nest. The game loop can be fun, and honestly, for $8, you will get some decent time and laughs out of it. Nothing about the game is groundbreaking, but it is still a fun little title. Graphically, it is cute, and the sound isn’t bad at all. It is a solid 7/10 title that will give you a good bit of fun for the money you spend, and that is really all you can ask for. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
