Chris Carter: "And for seven long years we've been waiting for Sega to announce a localization of Phantasy Star Online 2, which happened today thanks to Microsoft. This totally would have been a Sony thing to do during their conference given that PSO 2 has been out on Vita since 2013 and PS4 since 2016. But Sony isn't at E3 this year.
Instead, the madmen at MS pulled it off. The free-to-play Phantasy Star Online 2 is coming to PC and Xbox One in 2020 with cross-play. Mic drop."
Some WoW-like MMORPGs are better than others. Here's a curated list that offers a wide variety of games that let you play with other people but have something unique to offer.
WoW is a mess and it will continue to be a mess. Still, the less-developed MMOs are going to have trouble gaining a fan base because they lack content right now. Even if people do flock to FF14 or BDO, they'll go back to WoW if they fix enough features or give players a shred of hope.
Blizzard is going through some stuff right now, and people are seeing the writing on the wall— World of Warcraft might not be the best game in which to invest your time at the moment.
Nah, I'll keep playing the game with the millions of other people. The writing on the wall says "game is not dead" even though people have claimed it is for 15 years.
I'd guess that people are going to filter out but then come back for the next expac when the turmoil is over. I do worry about content delays, though.
With the release of a global server, this MMORPG is available on PC and Xbox. However, does Phantasy Star Online 2 have cross-platform play?
Here, let me save you the click: "Yes, Phantasy Star Online 2 does support cross-platform play between Xbox One and PC"
That "mic drop" was met with golf claps from an unimpressed audience. Shocking? Come on.
and Sony stole the show...
Wayyyyy too late for this. I wanted this localized years ago, but it was apparent Sega weren't listening to what fans wanted.
Yeah but how many Xbox gamers are actually excited about this? Most JRPGs flop on XO anyway
