It is the other way around. Nintendo published the Switch version and is therefore in charge with its the promotion while Square handles the remaining version, so the PS4 one.

Anyone excited about Dragon Quest Builders 2?

Never purchased a digital switch game before launch before. Will this be playable in the next hour in the UK? Suppose I could just wait the ten minutes and see, but maybe it could be at 1:00am?
You know how far I've gotta be? I borrowed my little guys copy just for the outfit, but not sure if just having the save is enough or if I need to be at a certain point.
so it should be going up at midnight EST? i'll definitely stay up to play for a couple hours if so. excited!
Mine unlocks on PS4 at 11pm central so yeah midnight eastern for the US
Question is do I keep playing DB1 which I got on vita (for cheap) or move on to this which apparently has a lot of improvements. I haven't gotten past the first island and am not sure I like the idea of starting from scratch and losing recipes/blueprints. Am having fun with the gameplay as someone less inclined to like crafting/survival games.
If purely just to build, then definitely go to 2. That said, I do still like the locations and scenarios in 1.
the first one had framepacing issues similar to bloodborne which i cant stand, so unless thats fixed here im not excited :(
I ended up skipping it because its for building things outside the main campaign on different islands. I didnt play that mode in the last builders and I know I wont be doing that here.
Ah, so no story or singleplayer stuff? That's an unfortunate pass from me, too. Thanks for the clarification!
Played the Switch demo. Fun game! I'm especially charmed by the writing.
Only performance issues I noticed was at the end when the world opens up en route to the boat. Here, the camera stuttered a bit when panning across vast vistas. I was still fully in control, though.
I immediately picked up a pair of vouchers and redeemed them on this and Fire Emblem. Good times!

Biggest bummer for me. That demo drained my battery so quickly. I was playing the original today and it's nothing like that. I wish more switch reviews brought it up.
Played over 2 hours, battery drained from 100 to 18. That initial load time when you boot the game up is rough on Switch. I'm enjoying it though it does feel like it's a bit of a slower start and I'm not sure about the premise just yet, I've only just arrived on the first outer island. I think I'll end up loving this game though, just like the first. I've noticed some frame drops which would bother me in an action game but it hasn't been a problem for me so far.
Now I need sleep though. Looking forward to continuing it tomorrow.

Is that mode even in this game though? It seems that mode is merged with the main story mode. I also got notifications about my dlc before starting the main story as if I could use them at some point.

First one was OK. Not excited enough to get it right now. If I wasn't playing Mario Maker I might've gotten it.
Weird question, but I'm on vacation and the only store near me that would conceivably have this tomorrow is a Walmart about 20 minutes away. Does anyone know if they typically have games in stock day one? I vaguely remember them not being super punctual with new releases.
I'm too excited about this, I can't wait until I get home.

I might get a used copies once it gets knocked down 15-30 bucks. I've been trying to avoid the Minecrafty games,
Huh? Don't you just unlock new islands you can go to, explore and learn recipes, like the other islands, but still go back to your main island and use the season pass recipes on your sp stuff? I think that's how they handle it.
The Switch season pass also has all the PS4 digital deluxe edition items.
I am so very excited to play in 15 minutes but very sad that there is not an OT!!!
Is this game seriously not getting one? This is like in my top 3 most anticipated of the year and apparently is great to boot. DQB2 deserves an OT lol!
Question: I bought Deluxe so is the season pass stuff available from the start tonight or being released on some kind of schedule?
Excite!!!

I've had pretty good luck on launch with Walmart. Maybe call ahead to check as well. Should be good though.
No OT or review thread for potentially one of the best games of the year?
Good ol' DQ in the West :(

Thinking about DQ Builders 2 or DQ 11? Any suggestions?
It's good to know that Builders 2 isn't just a Minecraft clone, but does have narrative quest direction.

Jesus Christ at these black screen text with 6 words on them that you can't skip past. Is it a loading thing?

So I played the demo for 2 and enjoyed it; then I went back and played the demo for 1. I've spent like ten hours in that demo messing around building the town up into a big tower thing by smashing up a mountain and had an amazing time. The demo for 2 didn't grab me quite the same. Should I get the first one or skip to the second? Will 2 have the stuff I liked about the 1 demo and I just missed it? And is there like a compelling narrative I'll be missing out on if I don't play 1? (I'm gessing not but I oughta check)
I just got my surface back, so I have to reinstall my apps and such, but if nothing comes up, I'll try and make one in the next couple of days.
