Mainly due to there not being a whole lot of "challenge" to the game, but tons of weird things going on for Arino to react to. I'm going to guess, finished in four hours so Arino can go to another appearance he had booked.

Probably on the short side, but I guess Arino will get stuck on the first stage (I know I did) Seems like they've added some more PC Engine games recently? When are they gonna play Rondo of Blood?

Is this just wishful thinking but are they playing music from Death Note whenever Watari is on screen? I just watched the 4k episode and I hope this is true lol

I just watched the 4k episode and I hope this is true lol I don't know the music from Death Note so I can't say anything there, but low budget shows in Japan get a library license to music rather than licensing individual pieces and consequentially, they often pull from other television and movie scores. So it's entirely possible.

I want Arino's character to get put to sleep by a Golem and then fail to wake up as it lays into him and kills him before he even gets a chance to enter a command. ...not that I'm speaking from personal experience

Was it DW1 or DW2 that ended with the the annoyingly huge poison swamp before the dark maze-like dungeon, filled with enemies that could cast an unavoidable insta-kill spell on your whole party, with no save points except before the swamp?

Calling it now, someone will either grind for him or give him a password taking him to a higher experience level (fun fact: Dragon Quest on Famicom used passwords and not a battery, as did the 2nd game). Or they'll use realtime speedrun strats https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecZCwVHJlG8 Jamesman posted:Was it DW1 or DW2 that ended with the the annoyingly huge poison swamp before the dark maze-like dungeon, filled with enemies that could cast an unavoidable insta-kill spell on your whole party, with no save points except before the swamp?

Isn't Dragon Warrior about 99% of grinding? Can't see that being very entertaining.

Yes. If you remove the grinding and know where to go, Dragon Warrior is a short as gently caress game. There are only like 2 proper dungeons in the game and everything else is just a question of getting rich enough to buy gear and hopefully be high enough level to not get wrecked.

DW1 still had its share of bullshit, especially with only have one character, but 2 was such bullshit I swore off the series after that. (Until I bought DQ8 and it was SO GOOD despite them still doing those insta-game over spells.) univbee posted:Yes.

Part 1 will be him struggling over and over and barely knowing where to go. Between parts 1 and 2, the AP will spend all night grinding metal slimes.

GCCX has survived two video format changes (480 to 1080 and now to 4k), led to three Nintendo games, and produced nearly 250 episodes. Still, I'm not gonna be satisfied until Arino finally beats Happy Clown.

Vlaphor posted:17 min 47 sec to be exact According to speedrun.com's leaderboards, the current record without manipulation is 5 hours, 15 minutes. Trying to replicate the TAS gets down to a very respectable 25 minutes, 21 seconds. With that in mind, Arino is totally going to get lost in the tablet cave for an hour.

Yeah, it's impossible to overstate how massive Dragon Quest is in Japan and more or less always has been. Hell, the very first Nintendo Power issue (1988) has a picture/mini-article of Japanese queues circling the block to get a copy of Dragon Quest III.

There's a side quest in Yakuza 0 that's basically about the Dragon Quest craze (it takes place in 1988 too)
