Over the past year me and my cousin fell back into the original game on a private server that actually addressed some of the badly aged parts of the original game (like the XP sharing issue) But yeah, I'm looking forward to giving it a try at least.. I'm not expecting to love it, but if it's a fun fill in til Diablo 4 comes out (since that actually looks like the sequel to Diablo TWO I've wanted all along -- though they're miracle workers if they can fix the saturday morning cartoon dumpster fire they turned the canon into), I'll be happy enough.

Also, for the people interested in trying this out, I figure we should all roll characters on the same ship so we can play together more easily. I suggest we use Ship 2, just cause. Looking forward to running with you again soon GS!

2 works for me. I really haven't deep dived into it because I want to go into it and form my own opinion. I know and have already made piece with the fact I'm probably gonna hate the storyline, but if the gameplay is good, that's all I care about

How do you fuck up the launch of a game that's been out for eight years? The unholy combination of Microsoft and Sega, that's how!

Bwahaha, yep.
At first I thought it was my rapidly getting long in the tooth PC being stupid, and gave up for the night after some updates, then I saw it was Sega being Sega. *Facepalm*
So probably will try again tonight, but won't be able to play much for a bit.

I guess I got lucky. Not one hiccup during download, installation, or gameplay so far. Ops had a smooth experience too. Our roommate though, ran into quite a bit of issues getting it to work. But he eventually got in too. I first rolled up as a bouncer. Jet boots are fun! Once I got in I went through the tutorial missions to try out all the classes. And thus did I learn of the Talis. It is amazing! I switched to Force to give them a try, and haven't gone back yet because I'm having too much fun flinging cards of death around. Probably going to try techter next since they also use talises. I'm also looking forward to playing Summoner at some point, but that can wait.

But he eventually got in too. Spud was ready to murder someone at Microsoft by the end there, I swear. Meanwhile, after a day or so of convincing the microsoft store to even let me see the damn thing, I managed to download and install it. I promptly rolled up a new version of Skuld, took her into the forest, shot a Rappy, and watched it play dead on me. "I didn't fall for that twenty years ago pal, I'm not falling for it now."

Yeah, it's installed fairly simply for me, dunno what seems to be the case there. Freaking Ragolian Roullette. Will be looking to get into it a bit more over the weekend.

Well, it wouldn't be PSO if it wasn't rage inducingly difficult to get to run on a PC. But yeah, I may cave and just install it on the Xbox to try it, which I would have done weeks ago if I could have gotten a straight answer on if your characters worked on both platforms. I don't currently have live so I can't get online there, but til I figure out the PC issue it'll at least let me try it.

So, did the first couple basic "explore this area start to finish" missions. I'm not 100% positive, but I swear I took damage when Vol Dragon fell on me in his death animation.
