10 Console Exclusives That Desperately Need A PC Release
3. Dragon Quest VIII: Journey Of The Cursed King
Unlike many other entries on this list, Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King never got the updated re-release it deserves, only getting a downgraded mobile port that arrived in the West very recently. Despite its commercial success and dedicated fanbase, Square Enix hasn't opted for a re-release on the PlayStation 3. Again, this is a case of a game that's mostly great on PCSX2, but would benefit immensely from a legitimate release. With its colourful characters and eye-catching cel-shaded art design, this game would fit right in with the other JRPGs available on the platform. As is the case with Final Fantasy X, more support from Japanese developers is what PC gaming needs. Now that Final Fantasy III has launched on Steam, it's time for developers to round out the genres available to players. There's no shortage of shooters and strategy games, but what about those overlooked genres from the East? Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King represents the genre as one of the most highly-ranked games in Japan.
Ken was born in 1994, and before the turn of the century, he was already a gamer for life, starting with Pokémon Blue Version. He has a passion for storytelling, especially in the gaming medium. Growing up on a healthy diet of JRPGs and point and click adventure games, young Kenny grew up playing Nintendo and Sony consoles, before becoming a snobby member of the PC Master Race. Nowadays, he resides in a time warp, refusing to believe the nineties ended as he fills up his Steam library with old point and clicks and cRPGs.
