lol exactly if you don't like easy games then don't play GU. However, again GU's only main point is the storyline
I wouldn't say "main" point. I would say "strongest" point. It's a videogame so gameplay, graphics, and story all have thier share of importance.

For me, gameplay is the most important element in every game. RPGs are no exception (even though most people believe they are). While the gameplay of G.U. is easy, it's still enjoyable, which is why I play it. It's just not on my top 10 favorite game list.

I agree with that, but I'm saying majority of the people enjoy GU because of it's story. And the first four .hack games, the gameplay wasn't that good, but people liked the story and continued to buy the next volumes to see what happens next.

I had more difficult with Infection than i had with Rebirth....

But yeah, i mostly play GU because of the storyline. I also enjoy the gameplay and graphics...but its just too darn easy.

The story will continue to get better in vol 2 and 3, along with slightly tweaked gameplay and new features. So can't wait for that.

Normally I level up only when needed (I find it tedious)
But My second time through, I'm going to level up as much as possible to get all (Atoli) to 50.999

If you fight alot, you'll get an Atoli with 50.999 at the beginning of Vol 2 anyways.
Experience is shared among everyone. Not much, but it is.

I'm a little bit in-between. When i heard they recommended lvl 20 for the arena (though i didn't expect there to be more quests before you actually got there ;P), i decided to level up to 30 because i wanted to pull off an Endrance (which they never let me do T_T).
So basically, i was overleveled for a while, untill i got to the fights around lvl 39, where the game caught up to me. Then i stayed at the level i suppose the devs expected you to be.
Didn't really disrupt my experience. Rather made it more fun since i got to kick ass in the arena, but not too much^^

So I guess you're one of the few people who actually think the game deserves a 10 out of 10.

It is good but can you really say it beats final fantasy?

I just started playing my first final fantasy and i gotta say, gu actually beats it, I like being able to controll my character, not just pick the word and hit X. (stupid FF7)

That was the main and only system in old RPGs...there wasnt any action other than selecting your own commands during periods measured in a time bar.
But it isnt just 'picking the word and hitting X'...more advanced in the game, you'll see that you really need to think which 'word' you have to choose, and doing it fast. That's called strategy (although i doubt you'll need that in FF7 much

)
Saying that RPGs are just 'picking the word' its like saying GU is only of 'smashing a button'

The FF games might get abit boring when it comes to fighting
but the story line was more complex
and longer

Why don't we just say all RPG's, hell all games are boring an repetitive if we are going to nitpick every detail no matter how obvious they may or may not be?

Though 1 is easier, 2 is the better choice. It atleast makes the game more challenging. I took on everything that was five levels ahead of me, and fought Azure Kite at lvl. 39. It made the battle challenging and fun. :3

All games are boring until you find out how to use the 'repetitive' stuff in different ways or with a different point of view, actually.

my option was 1 it makes things uterly easy for u

Cless · Post by **Cless** » Thu Dec 21, 2006 4:16 pm

I kinda have to choose both one and two. Leveling up was a bit easy except for when it came to not being PK'ed by the Black List PK'ers. The arena battles were really fun and challenging so the mission you had to do to get stronger before taking on Alkaid or Endrance were a big help.

#2 because I didn't want to make the game any easier than it already is
