BakonBitz 07/23/20 5:29:06 PM #1:	Went back and looked at the trailer and my God it looks so good. And by Xenoblade I mean X, the open-world game on Wii U. Expansive alien world, running and jumping exploration and fast-paced combat? I've never actually played PSO before but it looks really fun. Edit: Scratch the "Microsoft's answer" with "Sega's answer" because I just found out it's multiplatform including Switch. Though the localized version may be Microsoft only. --- Game collection: http://www.backloggery.com/bakonbitz Gaming channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwVQm69J7bGScbv3_50C0dA <cite>BakonBitz posted [p:942497435] in New PSO2 t...

The combat system is being changed but it doesn't look that different and you can start earning some cosmetics that carry over into New Genesis. I tried it when the US release finally dropped but the lobby runs like hot garbage and the menuing is abysmal. The gameplay itself is fun enough, but the game also does almost nothing to explain it's decade-worth of mechanics added post launch and most class guides are outdated to year-old balance patches. And this is coming from someone who ran a connection from his dreamcast to his PC so he could play PSO1 online through his cable modem. I wanted to like it, but it's just... so, so dated. So the idea of a functional reboot that brings the game up to modern standards has me very excited, but I can't see myself jumping back into the game now just for some cosmetics. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
