Dragon Quest Builders Preview: More Than Just Minecraft | MonsterVine

Since its reveal, Dragon Quest Builders has been seen as “Minecraft with slimes.”. This is a fair observation, as there are few games other than Minecraft that successfully take its “pixel-block building” gameplay, and make it their own.

Yeah, I will play this game over Minecraft.

King_Lothric2796d ago

I played the demo without any expectations and I really liked it. Personally, I don't like Minecraft graphics style. I ended the demo wanting for more so I am expecting to buy it.

My only complaint is that both this and world of final fantasy release within two weeks of each other... Not.... Enough.... Time ...
😖

cash_longfellow2795d ago

We make time!! ;)...aw crap, I have Battlefield sprinkled in there too...we make lots of time! LoL!

mockzer02795d ago

Who are these 'we' ? I need to hire them to make me some time too!!!

cash_longfellow2795d ago

As a huge fan of Dragon Quest, and a not so huge fan of Minecraft, I was concerned that I wouldn't enjoy this. However, after playing the demo, I have decided to make the jump and preorder (perfect example of why demos are still so important to gaming). Looking forward to it!

scark922795d ago

Well said, demos are important and do encourage, and possibly discourage people, they should stay with us.

cash_longfellow2795d ago

It makes me skeptical about games that don't release with a demo...seems that the devs are trying to hide a less than stellar game (not all the time).

slappy5082795d ago

This is 100% me. And what's great is that it is story focused. I generally don't warm up to crafting games but I'm getting this day 1 and I can see myself sinking 100s of hours into it

cash_longfellow2795d ago

I just have to figure out when to play with school and mandatory overtime at work..but I will put in some serious time on this.

They should have brought 2 since it is a much more complete experience

Feels strange to release now after Dragon Quest Builders 2 has been available for so many years. It was good for its time, but DQ Builders 2 improved on it in so many ways. I'd have a harder time going back to the first one now.

TGG_overlord120d ago

You are correct...So I don't know the thought proecess behind this move...Besides an easy money grab.

OtterX120d ago

I do hope they make a 3rd in the series, so I'll support this easy money grab. I really enjoyed DQ Builders 2 especially. :)

I'd like to see them bring in more advanced building concepts, like Minecraft's redstone machines. I much prefer playing w non-blocky characters, w this Dragon Quest feel.

UltimateOwnage119d ago

Awesome! I love the first game.

ZeekQuattro119d ago

Odd choice. The sequel is better and more realized in every way.

Wait, no new PS1, PS2 or PSP additions?

CrimsonWing69594d ago

It’s frustrating how they barely update that library. I get that Jimbo hates old games, but c’mon, the classic catalogue with trophies was a big draw for me. Was really hoping to get some heavy duty classic PS1 games to platinum. Looks like they’ll do exactly what they did on PS4 with the PS2 library…

LucasRuinedChildhood594d ago (Edited 594d ago )

Games like Resistance: Retribution have already been rated as well so they have some stuff ready.

I think they still don't have a healthy supply of classic games for the next few months and they have to really spread them out ... so because of all those Yakuza remasters on Premium this month ... they made the decision to hold off putting up more PSP or PS1 games until next month. :(

They need clearer communication on this. They could have said that we can look forward to some PSP games next month or something.

FinalFantasyFanatic594d ago

I'm so glad I stuck with the essential tier, I'd be ticked paying more with the expectation that the classic catalogue would be regularly updated and built up. The classic catalogue was the biggest draw of the upper tiers for me, so not seeing any new PS1 games is pretty disappointing.

Ben Dover594d ago

While the VC remake is a turd, this is an impressive month.

SlothLordPootus594d ago

Has vice city been fixed? If not it feels like a weird addition. Lots for Dragon Quests fans.

jeromeface594d ago

fixed? Its kinda hard to fix something that was a mobile port to begin with... so no

cluclap594d ago

It wasn't a mobile port though? The team that made them did the mobile games but if I remember the actual remakes aren't the mobile versions.

andy85594d ago

Playing it at the moment. It actually looks pretty clean. I'm on PS5 though, can't comment for other versions. I guess the updates helped a bit

VersusDMC594d ago

If you like assassins creed and Dragon Quest enjoy the multiple games.

Just plan on playing Medium and the Yakuza remasters right now.

EvertonFC594d ago

"inside" indie game looks interesting for sure too

SlothLordPootus594d ago

Inside is great. If youve played limbo it's very similar

dazzysima594d ago

Seems the PS Plus offer is running out of steam already.

Have they even added any new trials since launch?

rob-GP594d ago

Yes, loads - they just stupidly havn't updated the list on the console!

I can't recall of the top of my head but there's been a bunch of games, probably about 10 or so. I'm gonna drop Shu another email and try and get him to tell the UX team to update the list. It's annoying when they don't update things

VersusDMC594d ago

I checked out the soulstice trial recently. And i heard they added dying light 2 so i might check that one out as well.

MrNinosan594d ago

Running out of steam? This month is amazing, and the months before it has been great aswell.
At least 3 of the Dragon Quest games are great, Medium is okay, Assassins Creed is nice gems for those who missed put, Inside amazing, Castlevania superb, the Yakuza remakes are fantastic.

Lots of Trials has been added simce launch.
If you don't use the service or are interested enough to first check what's there, why comment?
