More like anonymous forum goer lies about "perfect" run of Dragon Quest V, only to be called out and claim to be robbed.

Pretty much, yeah. But describing the link as such would be like advertising Fungi Forums as "a bunch of cranky neckbeards who argue about everything but Mario".

I'm sitting here cackling at the news that DQX is a Wii U online-only subscription-based MMO. WeeGee schadenfreude is delicious.

Has anyone ever actually uncontrollably laughed and pointed at someone? It's the greatest feeling in the world.

It looks like ****ing World of Warcraft.

It doesn't look like World of WarCraft, unless Blizzard hired Akira Toriyama at some point and I hadn't heard about it.

I'll be [darn]ed if that doesn't look like a retextured WoW screenshot.

Anyways, these revelations regarding DQX's gameplay do indeed have me quite perturbed. Let me quote a post I made on Dragon's Den:

Quote from: Mario

I'll only buy this game in the unlikely circumstance that it supports offline gameplay that doesn't omit any inherent online benefits. No DLC-exclusive content, no "online-only" areas, no tagging/canvassing system, no added benefits for using multiplayer.

Video games should offer the same experience to all gamers, whether they're playing in downtown Tokyo or in the uninhabited Siberian tundra. Restricting certain gameplay elements doesn't benefit anyone, all it does is make the game seem more expansive than it really is. Gaming in the age of social media sucks.

If it doesn't "omit any online benefits"? I don't think you understand. It's an MMO. Online-ONLY and recurring subscription-fee required.

The Japanese FAQ does note that you can play the intro tutorial area offline, but that's it.

Weegee · « **Reply #104 on:** September 07, 2011, 11:51:40 PM »

I wasn't sure if that had all been confirmed. Alrighty then.

I'm expecting this game to be a runaway hit in Japan, but a relative flop in North America.
