DS Daily: Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest?

Sep 14th 2008 5:01PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
It seems to me that older generation who started from NES era find themselves more comfortable with Dragon Quest series whereas PlayStation generation prefers Final Fantasy series by a big margin. I myself prefer Dragon Quest series over Final Fantasy series especially when FF series began to lose its magic.

Some pointed out that they don't like DQ series because of lack of changes, however, it is probably because the series sticks to the fundamental element of RPGs rather than trying out new things, which can be good or bad depends on your preference. On the contrary, those who like changes and new things will definitely prefer FF series.

There are reasons why Dragon Quest series are the 'National RPG' and the best selling PlayStation game of all time in Japan despite of western gamers favoring FF series. Japanese government had to pass a legislation to ban release of a new DQ game on weekdays because too many students and salarymen skip school and work to get a hold of a copy. When a government passes a legislation to ban release of a new game on weekdays, there must be something.

Anyways, I'm picking up my reserved copy of DQ4 tomorrow and will relive those precious moments all over again~

DS Daily: Redesign disappointment

Jul 19th 2008 6:37PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
Very disappointed for not having any announcement on the redesign. I know DS lite is still selling very well and there's no real need for Nintendo to introduce new hardware, however, I wouldn't say it was too early to introduce a new redesign that closely resemble GB Micro.

I don't play GBA games on DS lite because color doesn't
look natural at all; color saturation is messed up to the point where I just can't stand it.

It would've been nice if something with higher volume and better LCD, not some cheap stuff, was announced at E3 this year. Oh well, I will wait for next year.

Deny all you want but you know you're owned by instead of owning them; how pathetic.

Gamestop shenanigans sell open games as 'new'

It's hard to believe that some of you are actually
making an argument FOR GameStop/EB.

When you open a factory sealed game for whatever reason, it's not new anymore.

Not to mention the fact that the displayed artbox is probably browsed and touched by dirty hands-
Just browse through few games and check your hands if they still feel clean or greasy.

And the argument that GameStop is doing this to reduce the cost- ha! I don't think their game is necessarily cheap when they only discount $2.50/5.00
for the used copies-

Anyways, I stop going there long time ago because it's not worth it.

This is what I've been looking for:

a laptop with simplified design at a reasonable price with moderate performance.

And personally this is the one of the best design for any PC laptop with more than enough horsepower, then the price is more than reasonable-

Lastly, whenever there's a simplified, nice looking laptop, it's a rip-off from Apple, eh??

6. Here's my problem with MD players. I've owned two (Sony brand) and both broke after a few months of regular wear.

Poor quality product, not expecting anything different here.

.. so I wasn't the only one eh? Spent $120 to fix it at Sony yet got same problem after 3 months..
Samething with $500 Sony DVD player with all the sound decoding functionalities.. lasted only couple months.

And did I mention broken analog stick on my PSP?? (which Sony refused to fix it because it was my negligence??)

Well, I'm still satisfied with PS, PS2, and 20" TV but Sony lost my trust after having expensive but poor quality of MD and DVD player.
