1 letter and 1 word X play
Re: How were you introduced to the G.U. series?
I was looking through a New Type magazine, and I turned one of the pages and I saw a Rebirth advertisement-thinger, and I was running out of things to play so I got Rebirth, beat it the first day, got Reminince the second, and Redemption the third, haha. Then like a month later I got Infection, Mutation, and Outbreak, but I STILL cannot find Quarantine...But I'm glad I found out about the series.
Re: How were you introduced to the G.U. series?
for me it was .hack//roots that led me to GU but being a old school original fan i knew something was going to happen especially the way the last game eneded and we were still getting huge amounts of .hack// related products.
but that first .hack//G.U trailer made so excited and over the years pissed off, (new Zealand is still waiting for GU) but then Link came along and i am happy again

I'm in France, and I don't know how it is in US, but here, the whole project is quite unknown. The first anime .hack//SIGN has been released and dubbed in french, though it was useless as several teams had fansubbed it 2 or 3 years before.
I was on an errand on my favorite anime BT site, and I saw a new anime, it was .hack//SIGN. I could download it, as it was not released in France, and I watched it.
After that, I spent dozens of hours seeking all about dothack on the internet !!! xD
Two years after, the four IMOQ games were released in France, and translated in french ! Each game had an episode of .hack//Liminality as a bonus, so you could see the consequences IRL, in Liminality, of what happened in the game...'t was quite good, even if I watched Liminality years before, and fansubbed (BTW, in France, I don't know why, but the fansub is WAY better than the professional subtitles when the animes are released in dvd...is it the same in US ? ^^).
Since that, I desperately hoped and waited for a next step in the project. And so I discovered .hack//roots. I watched it, and I found out that the anime was a prequel to a new game, in several parts like IMOQ. I hoped for a french release, but it never came.
So, lately (about six months ago), I bought a Swap Magic for my ps2, and I downloaded the games.
And here is how I was introduced to the GU series ^^

I hope you enjoy it!!!
Re: How were you introduced to the G.U. series?
I do, for sure !!!
I did begin a game several months ago, but there was a freeze in a cinematic, in the third game. That is, when Yata is in a dungeon. He just met Ovan, and he seemed to suffer a headache...it really bothered me, so I stopped.
B'sides, I didn't succeed in totally completing the first two games (Ryu Book, side quests...).
And I just recommenced a game from the beginning, a few days ago...I'm almost at the end of Vol. 1 ^^

hmmm... For me actually it was this site hahaha. If I didn't come across dothackers, it probably would have taken me longer to notice. But hey, either way I'm on this site aren't I? haha

I believe it Was Shugo_Lover's fault for me -_- I had thought it ended with Legend of Twilight...

Haha XD A good thing to be blamed for lol arn't you glad it didn't end with Twilight though?
Re: How were you introduced to the G.U. series?
Not at all...When G.U. opened for me I was devastated! I hated it at first, It just meant that Cyber connect Corp. was reusing old ideas. It didn't feel new until Reminisce. But now my viewpoints have changed.

Re: How were you introduced to the G.U. series?
For me? Funny story actually... I had cleared Infection and Mutation, I swung by game stop to grab Outbreak and Quarantine, but the place was flooded with people. I wasn't paying attention and grabbed G.U. Volume 3 Redemption by mistake. I didn't even realize the mistake until I got home. I've been stuck on G.U. ever since. I've beaten all 3 G.U. games countless times and I havn't touched IMOQ in over 2 years.

Re: How were you introduced to the G.U. series?
Was already enjoying .hack and checking dothackers.net, eventually there was a countdown with the title Project G.U. so the wait began with me,my brother and a friend on gaiaonline talking about it. Had watched .hack//Roots and couldn't wait to play the sequel for the series to play as Haseo,especially with the changes in the game.
:/ Was waiting forever for a UK release but it never came, had some things spoiled for me over the years of waiting so eventually asked a friend in the US to send a US PS2 just so I could play the games. ^^' didn't help that the first copy of G.U. 1 didn't work and that 2 and 3 arrived before the replacement of Rebirth lol
Though wished they would have made .hack//Online Jack longer and included it on dvd much like .hack//Liminality.

I guess I found out about G.U. from watching roots and I found out about roots from dothackers
