But seriously, there is an incredible amount of money to be made in PC
gaming and it just keeps going up year after year. Publishers have woken
up to that fact and the trend to port previously console exclusives
will continue.
If only Sony would wake up to the fact that their first party games would probably do amazingly well on the platform as well but so far they just refuse too.
I’d buy Bloodborne in a second if they would, but they will not.
Haha great picture 🙂
Is console still appealing???
Nintendiots as well…
Looks awesome! The first good Dragons Quest game since VIII.
This is a nice surprise. Can’t wait to play it on 2k/4k with the gorgeous visuals 🙂
pc wins again.
does ps4 even have any games?
Very pleasant surprise honestly. I’ve never played the series, but this one seems like a good starting point since they haven’t butchered it like Final Fantasy. Oh, and this always makes any announcement better.

“This game will never reach the PC”
Much like everybody else, I’m pleasantly surprised by this and maybe considering a purchase since it genuinely looks good and Dragon Quest is one of the few JRPGs I can actually stand to play without my brain hurting.
Exactly! 🙂 I was like OMG! what!?
Very cool news! Day 1 for me.
