[Now live with .hack//G.U. Vol 3]

There's something to be said about corporate decisions in times of peril. Whether they're said in earnest or said with harsh, direction action, we'll have to see.

Just beat .hack//gu vol. 2. Took me about a month compared to vol. 1 since I was playing other games and wanted to take my time anyway. Bittersweet ending again but at least Atoli is okay. Looking forward to playing vol. 3.

.hack//G.U. Last Recode PC 2017

[flameof]

And now, a bit more than 12 hours later, I've cleared Vol 4.

It's the gift that just keeps on giving!

Some day, I'll get through the Terminal Disc and Parody Movie options, but for now.

PEAK. FICTION.

There really is a shortage of perfect games in this world. It would be a shame if people haven't played this one.

Guess who's finally managed to beat .Hack G.U. volume 3 in time for the release of Armored Core 6?! This guy!

Still gotta do vol 4 at some point, before wrapping up the last of the .hack series, but... My God, I have been sleeping on G.U. for too long. Talk about peak fiction.

Haseo is just... He's such a great character! GAH! I wanna gush so damn much!

XBLAZE: Remaster/Remake Idea Poll

Here's gameplay of the two XBLAZE Games to give you an idea of what they are and how they play (They're both Visual Novel Games, but Lost Memories adds "Dungeon" segments);

==============================

Explanations for choices;

Include an English Dub (Dual Audio): Adds an Engligh Dub alongside the Japanese Audio.

More Anime Cutscenes: Adds more Anime Cutscenes outside of the Opening Movie. An example could be Es' introduction scene where it can be animated instead of CG Illustrations and Story Portraits.

Add a "Third" Game to the Duology: Adds a new XBLAZE Game along with the two existing ones, similar to .Hack//G.U Last Recode's exclusive .hack//G.U. Vol 4//Reconnection chapter.

Expand Parts of the Story: Include additional story scenes to answer questions or reveal more that the original two games couldn't do (or believe didn't clarify enough).

Include Bonus BlazBlue DSi/3DS Games: Based from an earlier Hypothetical Collection Poll, include BlayzBloo: Super Melee Brawlers Battle Royale and/or BlazBlue: Clone Phantasma as bonus games you can play.

Simplified TOi System for XBLAZE: Code Embryo: Make the TOi System easier to understand or use to get better use out of it for Story Progression in XBLAZE: Code Embryo.

More Challenge to XBLAZE: Lost Memories Phantom Field Segments: Make the Adventure Sections in XBLAZE: Lost Memories a bit more challenging. For example, the monsters can actually hurt "Me"/Konoe beyond stunning her and their are more hazards. If you die, you'll be booted back to the start of the area you are in or forced to reload your last save.

Dialogue Options for XBLAZE: Code Embryo: Replace the TOi Mechanic with a traditional Dialogue Tree Option to decide routes and endings in XBLAZE: Code Embryo.

Add a Mini-Game Mode: Add Mini-Games based on the XBLAZE Cast. Just a fun bonus mode. Like fighting Unions as Es, Cooking as Hinata, do science stuff as Unomaru or punching training dummies as Drei.

Remix the Soundtrack: Remix the songs and music, similar to what BlazBlue Chrono Phantasma did when it remixed the character themes for the Calamity Trigger and Continuum Shift Roster.

Add an 'Elise Route' for XBLAZE: Code Embryo: Add a new story route featuring Elise von Klagen for XBLAZE: Code Embryo. While Kuon is meant to be the heroine to expand on Ishana, Elise could add more to it, although the diviation point would be during the Es/Hinata Route.

Add an Adaptation of BlazBlue: Bloodedge Experience: Adapt the BlazBlue: Bloodedge Experience Light Novel as an extra Gaiden Game.

Here's a Video Example of how the Mini-Game Mode Idea would work and how the DS BlazBlue games play;

Where do you recommend someone start out with the .hack franchise? 'cuz there's a lot of stuff and it's kinda intimidating to get into

RUBS MY GAY HANDS TOGETHER a friend just asked me this on discord lol

OKAY so there's a ton of games and a lot of anime and manga to read and I'm kinda trying to remember it as I go because it's been years

ok so the first wave of games that you should check out in chronological order is infection, mutation, outbreak, and quarantine. Along with those came 4 episodes of the Liminality anime which goes along the game but happens outside of the game in real life. Liminality is very worth checking out if you play the games in that order.

Then you can give a spin to .hack//SIGN which happens in the same version of The World as the first games, it's super interesting and emotional and I highly reccomend it. It includes a parody episode called GIFT that actually used to put me on my ass as a kid.

I didn't like legend of the twilight, it's an anime that even to me in my peak anime cringe moment was very anime cringe, but I guess you can check that out too.

Then we have G.U. which happens in a different version of The World for reasons that I won't spoil, and revolves around a different character. These were my fav games: Rebirth, Reminiscence and Redemption, the third one being my fav out of the whole saga because it made me cry a lot.

There is an anime prequel to G.U. called .hack//ROOTS. I believe there's also a cd drama that I had my abusive exboyfriend rip for me back when we were together and he used gifts to demand physical affection for me but I have no idea what it is about so if you don't speak japanese you can skip that. Roots is very interesting too, I feel like it gives you a lot of context for Haseo (the MC of G.U.). But I did watch the anime after playing the games so I dont feel like you need to do that in chronological order.

There's also the G.U.+ manga which is like a G.U. alternate spinoff and honestly I really really really loved it and I think it's worth checking out

This is where it gets complicated for me because I stopped paying attention to .hack// for a few decades following a really bad breakup in 2010-11. I think .hack//Link came out next but I didn't keep up and I'm not sure of what comes next.

G.U. Last Recode came out in 2017 I believe, I own the game but haven't played it; I think it's like a remake/summary of the G.U. saga with a few things added in and others taken out. Liek I said I haven't played it yet so I can't speak for it.

But that's all of the .hack// knowledge I can provide at the top of my head. Hope that is helpful! And I really hope you can give the .hack// franchise a chance, it has some really beautifully thought out lore and some characters that even 13 years after playing it for the last time still live rent free in my head!!!

.hack//g.u+ last recode is literally 90% off on the psn store if you haven't played it get on that shit

[mister-e-muss]

The last time I posted something about my backlog, it was just a quick thing about setting a record for myself. I figured I’d make this sort of thing regular, and give my thoughts on the games I play at the same time.

.hack//G.U. Last Recode

I’ve wanted to get into .hack ever since Kite and BlackRose made appearances as guest characters in Project X Zone all the way back in the early 3DS days. I can’t say that I regret this at all.

This collection lasted me about 50hrs. I will say though, that these games are best played in short bursts. Wailing on the enemies until they’re ready for you to use a Rengeki on them is fun, but it can get repetitive very fast. Combat itself doesn’t become as fun as it could be until Vol. 2, where you can actually change weapons without going into the menu.

As for the narrative, I found the setting of [The World] fascinating in concept, but not the best aged in terms of visuals. The characters however, were a delight the whole way. Haseo is a great protagonist in that, he’s an asshole, but not an unbearable asshole. If you enjoyed Neku in TWEWY, you’ll probably enjoy Haseo.

Star Ocean: First Departure R

Full disclosure: I got this game because it was on sale and the Sci-fi/fantasy vibes called to me.

If you don’t have a tolerance for older ARPGs, then you might want to avoid this one, as its age does begin to show. That said, it’s not nearly as ages as it might seem.

The skill system was very engrossing, with level ups and new skills happening very fast. There were a few difficulty spikes, but I feel like part of that was on me for not engaging with the item creation/customization until a little over halfway through.

Finishing this left me wanting more in the best way. I can’t wait for November and Star Ocean 2.

Trails in the Sky FC

My experience with the Trails series has been a little bit. . . Bumpy. As someone who only owns a Switch and an HP Notebook laptop, the series hasn’t exactly been very accessible. Near the start of my sophomore year of college, I downloaded and played a demo for Trails of Cold Steel 3. I was, to my mild surprise, only slightly lost about the world and characters. I enjoyed my time with Cold Steel 3 but that’s not what we’re here to talk about. After finishing that game, I decided to play as much of the series as I could before diving into Cold Steel 4. This was my first step for this.

The Trails series’ reputation for deep world building is entirely deserved. I was surprised at how much space this game’s world has. As an example: there’s an orbment shop in one of the towns where a third story counter can be seen. There’s no reason to go there, not even any sidequests, but if you talk to the NPC there, he’ll explain that the third story is where they handle repair requests. It’s a small detail, and the developers didn’t have to make that extra room, but they did, and the world feels more real because of it. Even the magic-science techno-babble tends to make a degree of sense!

The gameplay is as solid as you could want from a turn-based rpg. The Arts and Crafts are great levers, and I never felt too weak for the enemies in any given area. It took me a while to realize that Arts using two turns was a benefit rather than a drawback. Using the cast times to manipulate the turn order is great fun.

I will say though, that I miss the additions of Master Quarts and Breaks that later games brought to the series. They’re not quite necessary, but they did bring a lot of good to the series.

Charting through the rest of the series is going to be a blast if this game is any indication!

Expecting copious amounts of steve blum from tonight's stream. Hopefully the results will speak for themselves too because grinding has become much easier.
