.hack//Infection was the flagship title in a series that went on to span seven discs in the U.S. (not including any Japanese releases). Conceptually, the idea of a game set in an MMO world was pretty unique for the time. The soundtrack was pretty solid, and the voice acting wasn’t a disaster. Where the game ultimately lost fans, however, was in its potentially repetitive gameplay. If combat staleness isn’t necessarily a problem, the player will then be able to fully submerse him/herself in an interesting narrative and enjoyable characters.
.hack (Dot Hack) is a gaming series that started when technology was still evolving and growing. These games showed us some of the horrors but also the best parts of online gaming. But these games are decades old, and perhaps it's time for a remake, a remaster, or even a game in the series.
the OG games, yes they do.
but.. they are very niche to begin with.
bk then, i only knew one person who played the games, beside me.
The Xenosaga trilogy also needs a remake or at least a remaster. I never got into .hack when they came out on the PS2 I would try them out. A remake or a remaster would be great I am not paying an arm and a leg for the original games.
The list is as long as it would take you to grind through Dragon Quest VIII. Here are the best JRPGs on the PlayStation 2.
Good list, kudos for adding Shadow Hearts, Covenant is probably the best Jrpg most people have not played and what an improvement over the first one (plus ties with Koudelka which is an awesome game as well).
Take a look at the libraries of your favorite consoles. I guarantee you, other than a handful of fighting games better suited on the Dreamcast, PS2 still has the best, biggest, and most varied library. Literally something for everyone. JRPGs on PS1 and PS2 really were special.
Edit: the article basically just lists every single JRPG on PS2 lol
Today Cyberconnect2 released a new video starring President Hiroshi Matsuyama responding to a rather popular question about the .hack series.
They've literally been saying this since 2017, but it's good to know.
I would buy it! I don’t think it’s the greatest game or anything but the story and premise I find novel. I’m getting through .hack GU last recode right now.
