Posted October 12, 2009 Ahh... brings back so many good memories the game that started it all, I'll never forget the first time I played it online, I was a relatively low-lvl char - had lvled a ltitle bit offline before though - and was taken to the Ruins for the first time by a kind and helpful higher lvl Fonewearl, never did exchange Guild Cards but it was such a good first online experience that I remained hooked to Phantasy Star type games to this very day.

Posted October 14, 2009 Arrived today from Lostmario: ] I have considered getting this game in the last couple of years.. but I have never played a Phantasy Star game before. Is there a decent game to be had offline or was the game basically only any good when it was played online? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 14, 2009 Is there a decent game to be had offline or was the game basically only any good when it was played online? I had it on the cube, and I have to tell you, it blew goats. If I didn't unlock the next level after going through 5 stages out of 6, you have to repeat it all over again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks.. I have plenty of games to be getting on with anyway and many more I can by when the time is right With that in mind, I imagine I can give Phantasy Star Online a miss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fucking lies! the game owned, the thing with the unlocking levels part is only that you need to play each area to the end, Forest takes fuck all time at all, Caves etc fair enough but perfectly doable, once you complete an area you don't have to do it again, the only part where you need to repeat is activating the three beacons on the first three stages to open up the ruins. Seriously, saying the whole game is bad because of that one game design choice is a huge oversight, anyway if you're only judging it by its offline mode then there's little point because it was online where the game truly excelled.

Is there a decent game to be had offline or was the game basically only any good when it was played online? Before PSO, the PS series were completely different. They were traditional overhead RPGs in the overworlds, but turned to a first person maze view in dungeons. I haven't really played the pre PSO games, but I do own them. PSO (And PS Universe) are an aquired taste, much like WOW and other MMOs. They're all about grinding levels and searching for rare items. The PS MMOs are a lot more "casual" than WOW and others, mainly due to it being quicker to level your character. I personally love PSO and PSU, but I can see why someone would hate them.

The PC version (PSO: Blue Burst) is also a lot better than the original DC release and it's free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 14, 2009 I want Uncharted, but I'm too poor, too many good games to complete first (one) and too busy to play it for any reasonable amount of time this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 14, 2009 Saw this at HMV a few weeks ago, but chose not to buy it as I didn't want to read 'Up' spoilers. Just ordered it for £15.75 from Amazon. Posted yesterday - hopefully here before Saturday - I've missed you Bauer.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 14, 2009 Lemme know what the Pixar book is like, I imagine its just like a "this is Buzz, these are facts about Buzz" etc kinda thing. You checked out 'To Infinity and Beyond'? That was £12.50 in HMV a while ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 14, 2009 Finally replaced my stolen copy of Drake's Fortune on friday, cleared it yesterday night. Uncharted 2 arrived this morning. Perfick! 3 and a half hours in... best game ever, basically. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was £12.50 in HMV a while ago. Jeepers, that's cheap. I've got media-pricer tracking that for me, but the cheapest I've seen it online is £30/32! Will keep a look out next time I'm there, thanks! Yeah, I was a bit wary of buying it, thinking that it was mainly for kids, but from the quick hands on I had with it at HMV it does seem to have plenty of stuff for all ages, plus hardcore Pixar fans are giving it the thumbs up.
