>catch metal slime
>effectively beat the game

It's never not funny how all the pokemon clone losers like to act indignant about pokemon mogging them so hard. Yes you're all so much better and pokemon just got lucky beating every one of you.

>>731107624
No, his base HP is too dogshit. It's one thing if you breed a metal slime/king, but just catching one is asking for trouble when a single crit is enough to kill it and there's skills that can crit with a 50% chance.

>>731107612
They're both Nintendo dumbass

>>731108261
>more popular = better
Idiot.

>>731107023
Is the monster catching simple and accessible like Pokemon, or is it overly complicated and convoluted like Monster Hunter Stories?

Oh? Then where are all nintendo's official ports to PC? And no, I'm not talking about emulation.

>>731108845
No.

>>731108845
Not really but you'll miss out on "Oh it's the Goobly Spoobly from Dragon Quest XV."

>>731108845
Not really, but it has some references in it. DQM2 for the GBC was the best version, or maybe the PlayStation version if you can read moon.

Palworld is fixing the genre.

>>731109037
Palworld needs breeding mechanics like DQM before it does that. And world keys (the good kind from DQM2 GBC, not the shitty kind from the 3DS version).

Process for catching monsters in Pokemon:
>Beat Monster up
>Throw Pokeball to capture him

Done

Process for adding a monster to your team in Monster Hunter Stories:
>Beat Monster up
>Hope the Monster flees to his RNG cavern
>Enter cave to steal egg from its nest that is guarded by the sleeping Monster you fought earlier
>It might wake up and you might have to fight him again to put him down for good
>Bring egg back to your barn
>Hatch egg
>Say hello to your level 1 monster that might not even be the same species of the monster you fought.

It's a completely mental system. Too mental for its own good. Especially for the genre its in and who it is competing against. I guess it has its fans, the series is one of the best selling monster catching/battling games in the genre. But there's just too much to deal with.

>>731107023
I personaly liked it a lot
DQMJ,J2 and J3 absolutely shits on everything Pokémon it's not even close
The remakes of DQM and 2 were crazy too
That said I really don't like where it's going with DQM3, which was very underwhelming

>>731109234
>>Say hello to your level 1 monster that might not even be the same species of the monster you fought.

>>731109258
>That said I really don't like where it's going with DQM3, which was very underwhelming
"Supposedly", it was in development hell for years. I kinda believe it since it doesn't even feel as advanced as Joker 2 and 3.

I fucking hate the cockteasing they did with its story relating to 4. It's almost as bad as the cockteasing they did for 2HD relating to 6 and 3, but the difference being that 3/TDP's cockteasing at least led to disappointment. 2HD's led to literally fucking nothing.

>>731109161
I don't know how is breeding in DQM, but breeding is palworld is already pretty deep as it is.
>IVs
>passives
>breeding trees and values
>passing down special moves

>>731108454
you have to feed them to make them like you then there is a chance they join you

>>731109392
I mean breeding for different monsters. The two games are fundamentally different, Palworld is like Pokemon and DQM is not similar to either.

Which game should I emulate to get the quintessential DQM experience?

Start with the first. Now.

>>731109331
Every single monster in Stories lays its eggs in other creatures nests like Cuckoo. Also Diablos can hatch in heat

>>731109516
In palworld when you breed pals from different species the resulting pal will be a completely unrelated 3rd species.

Every pal species holds specific breeding value, the resulting pal will be a combination of the values of the parents, this means that you can get a specific pal that you want earlier by breeding other pals in a specific way, although stronger pal species will always require strong pal species or just species with abnormally high breeding values like relaxaurus.

>>731108845
nope.

>>731109513
I was hoping Stories 3 would change things up, but it looks like they're keeping things the same for the most part.

>>731109713
I'm playing it on GBC, but have no idea what I should focus on breeding since Sky Dragon just murders everything atm. I think I beat the arena rank quests like three times and just opened up the breeding cave area.

Why are you retards recommending the GBC versions over the infinitely superior 3DS versions? Literally the only reason to play the GBC ones is nostalgia.

The 3DS breeding sucks dicks. It all went to shit when they started the retarded fucking rank-based breeding. The large monster sizes are also stupid since you can't get a team of 3 cool monsters.

The famitsu threads turned a bunch of posters into fucking retards that are unable to judge a game by how good it is.

>>731107023
The attack animations in this game were very impressive to me compared to 1st gen pokemon. And having 3 monsters at once seemed so much more dynamic.

>>731110351
Ok cool
Those other games were made first however

>>731108839
Not just sales but reviews and how well in stuck with the public psyche. This isn't one of those games that 5, 10, 15, 20 years down the line people are talking as if it was some tragically overlooked classic. Equally fallacious claims:
>Marathon (Classic) mogged Doom II
>Aero the Acro-Bat mogged Sonic the Hedgehog
>Quest 64 mogged Final Fantasy VII

Do you see anyone still referring to FPS games as "Doom clones"?
Pokemon didn't invent a single thing, it just happened to become the most popular franchise in the world (and as you may now if you're not too retarded, selling more doesn't mean that it's better)
Stop shilling that dogshit series, it's done since a while you'll only be fed complete garbage from it, and play other games

>>731111241
>how well in stuck with the public psyche
You're fucking stupid. It had remakes and re-releases on every Nintendo console, and the mainline games ensure that it keeps getting attention. You're just continuing to show how fucking retarded you are by implying that popular=good without any additional thought about why it's popular.

>>731107023
I just downloaded this on my chink handheld

I've never been able to get into these games and I don't know why because I love mainline Dragon Quest.
Furthest I ever got was like 10 hours into DQMJ3 and maybe 5 hours into DQM3 and I've at least tried most of them.

Wouldn't say it mogged Pokemon. Popularity and reception points the reverse.
But shit, I loved DQM way more than the Pokemon games. DQM and DQ3 were the big gameboy games I got sucked into as a kid.
Iru and Ruka's Adventure was really fun, too, but something about Terry's Wonderland just sucked me in. I kept on going back to it.

Try the GBC versions if you haven't, if you liked classic DQ I think they're the closest to feeling like those.

Conersations on "how good a game is" often devolve into gay sophistry and pedantic bullshit when you're dealing with annoying anti's so at some point people get fed up and use sales as hard data to tell them to fuck off

Sales are the most retarded metric because that means suddenly all the ball and gun games are better than almost everything else that releases.

>>731107612
dqv is well liked because it's a monster sim, then they stopped doing that. dq games aren't even monster sims anymore

DQM 1 and 2 have 3ds remakes with fan translations

>>731107023
I fucking loved this game as a kid I replayed it a few years ago and it's not nearly as fun when you aren't a dumb kid who doesn't know how to properly breed monsters and just uses his favorite birds.

Absolutely video game kino. Always wondered what happened to this series. Then I found out about Joker and was immediately disappointed that they strayed from it's roots.

Is the Joker 2 professional fan translation finished yet? I've been wanting to replay Joker 2 for a while now, but not playing Prof feels like a waste...

>>731112973
DQ5 is well liked because of the waifus and the story that spans from childhood to adulthood where you have your own family and adventure with your kids. It would be incredibly popular with or without the monster capturing.

>>731107152
1 and 2 fanslated on snes
3 fanslated on snes
4 on DS with partychat patch or IOS as it has partychat, Im not a huge fan of the NES graphics and menu systems.
5 I'm partial to the ps2 version
6 I'd recommend the DS version though I prefer the SNES
7 PS1 is good but 3DS is the more accessible option if you fucking hate fragment hunting
8 3DS has new content but the crunchy graphics and sound piss me off so I pick ps2
9 DS is the only way
11 original has better lighting but can be difficult to find so S edition is the defacto version
I recommend the original GB monsters games over the 3DS ports as they look kind of sterile and soulless
Besides that your options on the other games are generally limited to their original console version
DQ1-3 are a trilogy but they're all relatively independent
DQ4-6 is a trilogy but again relatively independent
11 is part of the 1-3 trilogy but recognizes 4-6. doesn't make any real attempt at connecting them but if youre partial to one or both trilogies they make mention to things from both

>>731108303
bro all you have to do is breed it with a high hp slime family monster once. they’re immune to almost all magic. I had a granslime with 999 defense and 500hp that knew revive and double hits. disgusting broken
