Just finished .hack//Infection

Post by FioKupo »

Hey all! New poster here.

After binging a bunch of Tales of games, I decided to give .hack a try (my brother LOVES the animes so I figured I'd try out the games. I really enjoyed myself! The gameplay was pretty simple (besides the final boss. Oh boy did I struggle for a bit) but still enjoyable. After coming off nine Tales of games, it was nice having a game where I can kind of turn my brain off while grinding levels and catch up with whatever series I'm watching at the moment.

The story and characters were delightful. I really loved Kite and I'm super interested in continuing on to //Mutation. I think I'm going to play my next Tales of game instead. Gotta have some time to let everything set in and so that I can properly digest the story.

A short question though: how did you guys feel about //Infection?

It's super cool! I'm so excited to play //Mutation but I'll be playing Tales of Innocence R and working until then.

I hope you enjoy it!!!

I'm about 7 hours in. I'm a big fan of the character designs, gameplay, and plot. Just good vibes all around. To be honest, I wasn't expecting anyone to be active on this forum, lol. Just trying to relive aspects of my childhood, I guess. The discord is much more active...

Maybe I will! I'm honestly surprised there's no one posting here, considering y'all get 3-5 new members a month.

Most of them end up being spambots that I remove and ban. Though be hard to say the remaining 3-5 are real people or spambots that have a delay posting scheduled.

Lol there's been a lot of posts + replies within the past few days. I'm wondering, what was this forum like, say, 10, 20 years ago? I'd assume that it'd be a lot more active, since .Hack would've still been popular.

The dothackers.net forum started on Sat Aug 09, 2003.

.hack was released in Japan in 2002. With the manga releasing in January 2002 as chapters in a magazine before the books, the anime in April 2002, and the game in June 2002.

Later it was localized in the US in 2003. With the anime airing in February 2003 on Toonami, game releasing in February 2003, and the manga in September 2003.

Wow that's pretty neat!! I've never really posted on a forum before (I just kind of lurked on forum posts when I was a kid), but it's something I've been interested in for a while. Figured this would be an appropriate place to start. x3
