That'...@ Yeebo - I have to agree with you there. That's why I'm glad they changed so much for this. There is no failure for grinder upgrades now, there's no crafting, and monsters are loot pinatas. Of course, it's only multiplayer over WiFi, but at least they fixed all that stupidity.Marty Runyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08456700794989273981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38541167.post-44006354261439228622009-06-25T09:52:13.063-07:002009-06-25T09:52:13.063-07:00I lost my damn mind to PSO. I played it for month...I lost my damn mind to PSO. I played it for months on the Dreamcast. Then when it came out on the Gamecube, I promptly went out an bought a Gamecube and played it all the way to the cap again. I consider the definitive version to have been PSO:BB on the PC. It had a third world, and the stories in the first two worlds were expanded to the point that they made sense. Unfortunately, I was pretty much done with PSO by the time I tried it...only played for a month or so.<br /><br />PSU was an enormous disappointment to me. My main gripe was equipment barely ever dropped from mobs. They actually expected you to either save up meseta to buy weapons in stores or mess around with their craptastic lottery style crafting system to get weapon upgrades. That's no Diablo clone!<br /><br />The system where you could explode your best weapons while trying to upgrade them was also a pet peeve. If they had simply stuck to the same loot and upgrade system as PSO, Sonic Team could have had a real winner on their hands. The class system and the environments were certainly different enough from PSO that it would have been entertaining to play through.Yeebohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08028940396189544294noreply@blogger.com
