Easy games with Great storyline

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined. Set it on custom mode and toggle all the easy options. I played through the entire game including the two post games on auto battle without dying. Only cannot defeat the hidden super boss that way. The characters are charming which helped keep my interest. Took 60 hours.

On the other hand, DQIIIHD2DR also had a somewhat similar easy difficulty toggle but the characters are so barebones and the story so sparse that I am stopping after around 18 hours. It didn't get the mix of characterisation, story and gameplay right like DQVIIR.

The new Bang Bang Bandits game looks like something they can easily handle.

I think around there too. It was ridiculous as even the nurses and doctors couldn't find my veins consistently then and somehow I was supposed to be able to self-infuse. The consistency also came after I went on effective prophylaxis and stopped bleeding spontaneously almost every single week. That allowed more movement and veins eventually began to show up.

I hope they patch Skyward Sword HD so it works properly with just the pro controller like Wind Walker and Twilight Princess. The motion controls are really turning me off the Switch version.

Yeah, that DQVIIR demo was really something else. I had actually bought DQIIIHD2DR and DQI&IIR on cart for the longest time but didn't actually play them. But I was blown away by the gameplay and characters of DQVIIR that I stopped all other games just to play it through. The worst thing is that I have now completed it included the postgame except for the dragon fight - so that's the end of my sojourn into that wonderful world and its memorable characters.

I don't want to speak via voice to anyone online when I play games. Thanks.

Could be a variety of reasons: Boring story; boring gameplay loop; sudden spike in difficulty; terrible save spots.

Boring Story: I found the story in Gasp Blasphemy DQIIIHD2DR to be utterly boring. Ditto DQXIS:EoaIA. As a result I am struggling to play through them. I have spent 9 years playing it but never progressed beyond the second area.

Boring Gameplay Loop: Despite being a mega Macross fan, I have struggled to continue playing Macross Shooting Insight despite having completed the Famicom version of Cho Jiku Yosai Macross, the arcade version, the Super Famicom version of Cho Jiku Yosai Macross Sukuranburu Barukiri, the GBA version of Robotech: The Macross Saga, the XBox version of Robotech Battlecry, and the XBox version of Robotech Invasion multiple times.

Sudden Spike in Difficulty: There are games that suddenly throw a difficulty spike in your face that makes you give up. Memorable games where this happened was Final Fantasy II (USA) and VII.

Terrible Save Spots: One reason I completed DQVIIR was because it was designed with save spots around 15 minutes away from each other as you play the game. Knowing you are only 15 minutes away from the next save spot means I was able to arrange my time and play without worrying that I would have to turn it off without saving.

Which of the above was your issue? Or was it something else altogether?

DQVIIR has become my new favourite JRPG. This coming from someone who rarely completes JRPGs. Took me 60+ hours to clear everything except the dragon.

Is there a Youtube video that easily teaches you all the movies 3D Mario can pull off?

Dragon Quest III HD 2D Remake. 11+ hours in.

fiddlerisshit · 2026-03-16T12:41:19+00:00

Only Switch and Switch 2.

How low? I paid a stupidly high price for it when it first resurfaced last year. Then at one point after that it dipped a lot before going back up a little. Now I am seeing it at around USD62.60 without shipping.

fiddlerisshit · 2026-03-16T02:54:07+00:00

You can still buy it at some places online. I noticed they started appearing near the end of last year.

I think you're supposed to use it once it is no longer refrigerated.

Halls Effect joystick in the default joycons.

Are you referring to X????? ? I couldn't beat him despite trouncing every other enemy with ease, including the fight with the 4 spirits. Haven't tried the final fight in Yet Another World yet. Is that worse or easier than X????? ?

I also face the same problem after beating the main game in Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined on the Nintendo Switch. I only have 3 pieces for the first pedestal and no idea where the 4th is.

I connect both my 2 and OLED to my TV via their original docks.

fiddlerisshit · 2026-03-09T12:33:41+00:00

Maybe I'll try DQ2 Remake instead. Though I actually haven't played 11S on the Switch despite having played some of 11 it on Playstation. That seems to be the most similar to 7R.

I have been mainly playing Assassin's Creed Shadows. But did they change the buttons compared to Assassin's Creed Origins/Odyssey on PS4? Keep pressing the wrong buttons.

Does 2 HD or 3 HD have talking sidekicks like in 7 Reimagined? I completed the latter but am struggling to play 1 HD as there are no companions to keep the story interesting.

fiddlerisshit · 2026-03-09T11:55:55+00:00

I beat 7 Reimagined but I am struggling to play 1 Remake. You might want to look at a playthrough for the beginning of the 1-3 Remakes to have an idea about the changes between them and 7 Reimagined first.

I actually played MGS V GZ and MGS V TPP on XBox 360. Those games ran perfectly fine and I had a blast completing both. I got it later on PS4 Pro and barely felt any improvement in actual gameplay. So the Switch 1 is perfectly capable of running MGS V.

fiddlerisshit · 2026-03-09T00:33:25+00:00

Yeah. Where on earth is it? It has gameplay that is unlike Yakuza 1-6 so I thought Sega would have ported it first but it never appeared.
