don't even bother with the original 4 games, they are borderline unplayable disasters. i even have intense nostalgia for them and it was a fucking shitshow when i revisited them a few years ago

GU is alright, although you have to deal with Haseo being a little shit for 2 entire games

user, don't listen to this guy, he doesn't know what he's talking about. Go ahead and play the first four games, they're really fun and immersive.

Those games were absolute shit. Great premise gone wrong.

The first 4 are the best.

Don't .hack is terrible. There's way better JRPGs on PS2.

Not him but explain yourself.

Nah, IMOQ is alright. He should at least give that one a shot.

this intro was so fucking weird. I'm gonna need a run down on this shits story. Why was a game putting niggas into comas.

No, it's not, go back and play them yourself and you'll see. Story is dumb and the gameplay is ass.

Huge empty maps because it was trying to mimic an MMO, weak story, terrible gameplay and way too long.

redpill me on the bad shit like Link

Alkaid should have won. FUCK

If she liked Haseo so much then how come she never said anything? Why'd she have to be such a bitch?

So basically side materials is good but the "mainline" after GU is basically dead right?
I should read that one manga posted last thread

We heard you the first time. Go back to your generic weeb trash instead of shitting the thread up with your zoomer tastes.

Well she won in my game :^)

Time travel or some shit according to some people, I never really got into it. Actual time travel. Not sure if they were just shitposting or not though.

>Old hag
Absolutely disgusting

>ywn play The World

She won if you want to you fucking retard

.hack//Link is basically a fanfiction story that pretends to be canon and it centers around some retard named Tokio going around time and space, screwing about in the various points of the series and interacting with the main characters of the older series like Kite and Haseo (who by the way has his character development destroyed in this game) and fighting these goofy group of hackers who want to do some dumb shit, I don't remember and near the end you fight an evil Aura, for some reason.

Basically, yeah. The manga that was posted last thread was GU+

Do you have the link of the thread user? I missed

Neither.

>all-female eco-terrorist group called "mother" or some shit or am I mixing it up with some other post-GU bullshit?
I think that was something else.
>Emma was a terrorist all along to brainwash Harold into making The World or some shit

None of that garbage mate, just give me my upgraded daggers.

i think IMOQ and GU show how MMOs were mostly changing and the changing scope of the internet. IMOQ was far more like original PSO and GU was how it was changing with the times to other MMOs on the market at the time. Though it had much more refinement to make it into a singleplayer game.

I'm not sure if that was revealed in Link but you are correct, that was something we find out in Thantos Report which is canonically the last thing to happen in the timeline and it ends on a stinger that goes nowhere because .hack is fucking dead.

COME WITH ME IN THE TWILIGHT OF A SUMMER NIGHT FOR A WHILE

>Emma was a terrorist all along to brainwash Harold into making The World or some shit
I really don't like that.

I'm sorry to say there's a reason .hack died, and it wasn't just because of SAO.

I just rewatched SIGN last week, it's still fucking great. Halfway through I decided I'd replay the games too once I finish Wild Arms 3.

How was that GU remake by the way? I heard they fucked up the difficulty and made it too easy somehow at one point. Never actually played GU so I might pick it up after IMOQ replay.

There's a private server for //Fragment out there.

They made the GU stuff easier but upping Haseo's stats and making him run faster too I think.

Though I think you can toggle all of that off.

I know. They went full retard after GU.

Attached: image.jpg (1448x2047, 1.9M)

I hear GU vol4 (the short new one included in the remaster) apparently contradicts some of the shit from the post-GU stuff, so if by some miracle we do get new .hack content, it might be ignoring that complete mess.

Nope, can't be turned off.
It's so easy that you've gotta gimp yourself to have any sort of challenge.

Jesus christ G.U. was basically a completely perfect sequel, how the fuck did they even mess it up going forward
Just have a new game in the same breath as G.U.'s concept of moving on from the old cast and focusing on the newer generations complete with its stories and it'll still satisfy everyone

I only ever used the scythe weapons after getting and never looked back. It's so fucking cheap, you can hit from a distance, can hit crowds of monsters, can hit flying monsters normally without using aerial attacks and it's three hit combo string is easy to cancel out of and it's fits Haseo since he's The Terror of Death and Skeith uses a scythe as well.

*mellow*

I always found it interesting how this series made use of "everyone uses the same character models / basis" rather cleverly and realistically. Even if R:2 downplayed this by allowing for far more in-depth customization, which only highlighted Shino and Atoli's uncanny likenesses even more.

>they did like, 3 or 4 mobile games
>all of them failed

But why thou

Jokes aside it didn't change rengeki too much, the issue is they made the game easier. Too easy, i'd argue. If you ever step outside of the main storyline, even for just a single romp around a dungeon you'll end up significantly overleveled for every bit of game content, and it ruins it. 0 tension. And they never patched it or offered an option to return to the original exp curve. It's a terrible way to make an already pretty easy game (due to rengeki spam) even easier by overleveling you by just trying to explore outside the constraints of the main story.

>which only highlighted Shino and Atoli's uncanny likenesses even more.
That was a real nice touch

Kuhn would probably hit on Mia if she had a PC body.

The fun thing is that in both the original games and GU it was a select number of recurring players, and even the people you could encounter in dungeons (short of things like the Chaotic PKers) could be met in town, each with specific things they'd say, their own items to trade, and dialogue that changes depending on which point in the game's story you were at. It really makes it feel less like it was nondescript folks running around as background dressing and more like consistent players that were off doing their own thing at the same time as you.

The games themselves got a lot of things right about the future of tech. If you read the news posts in both sets of games.
Shame the base VR tech had to be given to indie shitters to make political walking simulators and "ironic" games.

Yeah but Saku is shit though. I'd rather marry Bo.

That's one aspect of these games that I really like.

I love the games have done since i saw a review of infection at 3 am on a gaming tv show in the UK.
We did not even get the GU games here, i had to import them. I even suffered through //link.
I want more .hack but Namco and CC2 fucking hate me.

BOING

Wait, did Endrance play Elk in the first game? Wasn't Elk a girl? I thought she was, and the Cat character was named Mia, right? Holy shit I just put the connection together. Damn, Endrance was a NEET shut in even when he was a kid.

>Yata is white IRL lol
He's also a rich loner that hates gold digging whores and likes digimon

Elk is Endrance
Wiseman is Yata
Seig is Kuhn
Sora is Haseo

I don´t know... i kinda liked the terror of death.

The older I get, the more I appreciate how much in the right Gabi is for never reading more than two lines of email.

I still can't believe Elk is Endrance...they seem so radically different, but I noticed how Endrance called the cat "Mia" but was Elk not a girl PC? I thought Elk was a girl? Or did Endrance just play a female character?

I remember Sora being a real asshole

Haseo goes from EDGELORD ASSHOLE EMO to LET ME COME OVER AND PRAISE THE LORD WITH YOU AND THEN WE'LL HELP THE HOMELESS.

That's a whole lot of suck.

You're probably confusing Elk with Tsukasa. Tsukasa was a girl using a male Avatar which was the same as Elk's.

One thing that is a small plot hole is Kuhn not recognising Asure Orca and Balmung.
He was a self described "rival" to Balmung. And was always dogging him in the Time trials in //IMOQ.

Yes, Endrance and Elk are the PC's of the user Kaoru Ichinose picturedThe other wavemaster that looks like Elk was the protagonist of //SIGN, named Tsukasa who was friends with a cat player named Macha
Macha becomes Mia, who was attracted to Elk due to his similarities with Tsukasa

Oh righttt that's the one I'm thinking of. They had the same character design.

>One thing that is a small plot hole is Kuhn not recognising Asure Orca and Balmung.
same goes for Yata, Endrance, and Piros not recognizing any of the Azure Knights

no he was just really shy
he played R:1 in an attempt to make friends

The same can be said for Yata and Endrance. All three of them don't react at all to seeing the Azure trio, it's like they forgot all about R:1

imagine taking Piros the 3rd to a boss fight against azure kite, and having him turn against you and return to his old ally's side.

This is the first part of the series when shit gets real.

Looks like he is taking BIG STEPPY there right now

It sounds a lot like the whole Azure Knights thing beyond "Tri-Edge" Kite were kind of a late development addition so they didn't write the script to accommodate.

I remember seeing like a manga page or something, not sure what timeline or .hack it was from, but doesn't the guy that plays Kite log back into The World as an adult to help save it or something? Like we don't see him as an adult but you see him sitting at the computer and can see his hand and torso, like the nigga got really buff or some shit. I think Orca, Kite, and Balmung's players are all in college or adults by the time G.U takes place. Would have been cool if they had made new characters and played in G.U as party members, or made like cameos. What if they fought against their old characters?

he'd probably try to reason with Azure Kite, and upon not getting a reaction he'd know something was wrong

I want to know more about this.

Well Yata is an admin that has eyes on literally every part of R:2, and he knows the deep lore about Aura, so it can be assumed that he knew it wasnt really Kite

If the real Kite was in R:2 he would assfuck Ovan and AIDA Sakaki at the same time

Attached: kite drain heart.png (852x640, 1.38M)

Starting from later parts got you "good enough" (Read:Shit) equipment to start the part with. So you would have a bad time. Soft punishment i would call it. I would say it is almost mandatory to start at infection and work up.
I think //link started out as something like that but got fucked up in to a fanfiction that fucked up everything about .hack
There is some new story that was translated about Kite, i have not read it yet. I think the guys who translated //link also did a quick translation of it as well.
>it's like they forgot all about R:1
That is not true because when he informs you about Cubia it shows a flashback from R:1

I know a lot of the players in G.U have autism, but some of them don't even fucking play the game and have fun, like they just fucking login to pretend to be someone else. They don't even level up or go on quests. They just do jack shit.

Same happens IRL.
WoW for instance had players just join it for city chat and to use as a chat room you could walk around in.

Endrance was so mentally fucked from losing Mia that the only thing thaat mattered was getting stronger and he forgot about his other friends
Then Mia's data became his Epitaph, and ten AIDA started fucking with him

i mean if we had that kinda tech it would be like the people who log into second life/VR chat and just fuck around

IMOQ remaster when? :(

Is Kite a bad enough dude to take on Ovan when he's using Corbenik though? I also think it's bullshit that Kite never got Drain Heart, after seeing Corbenik/Morganna use it on the .hackers in the final battle, shit got me pumped and made me think I was going to learn it and to add insult to injury, Azure Kite knows how to use Drain Heart and so does Haseo near the end of Vol. 3. Shit ain't fair.

you can literally learn Drain Heart ingame

For real? Is there a special animation for activating it?

...

No, if i remember it 2128 Drains multiple enemy's.

When people buy enough copies to convince Bandai Namco to give CC2 the ok to remake IMOQ

no all 4 Data Drain variants have the same animation
pretty sure it unlocks just by using Data Drain a lot

Ah that's balls

Aura would give him some special power
Azure Kite had an Epitaph-like form

The games would probably need remakes altogether to be frank. They likely don't have the source code for 'em anymore, and even if they did, all that menuing and gameplay design isn't something to be enthusiastic or nostalgic over, it was all in the music, setting and overall design.

play fragment

I always remember two of the female beast players in GU.
One only ever talked in *meows* but I keep coming back to her because she had nice items for trade.
The other one was named "b1u3" who's dialog is the story of how she wanted the username "blue" but it was already taken.
.hack NPCs are the best, despite how little attention they are given.

No pausing during menus doesn't fix the issue.

I am still mad G.U took so many of the gameplay mechanics that made IMOQ cool away. Like, i loved the negative effects of data draining or the portal system that allowed enemies to get reinforcements mid battle or fight a riddiculous MOB on an all or nothing fight.

They wouldn't, they are Japanese remember

what issue? you have also have 16 shortcuts for skill and item usage

Henako is probably the NPC I remember talking and trading with the most, she's also weird.

I liked the IMOQ npcs named Waffle, Panta, Alicia, Flare, and Stare

Attached: tail_concerto_cast.jpg (2073x1154, 773K)

The problem being that GU no longer felt like some sort of single player game trying to imitate an MMO like IMOQ did which it did perfectly.

I think there is one NPC from Kestral that just sucks ass as a PK. In the towns he talks like a pussy, but you meet him in the battle areas a lot trying to PK people.

That kitty has some serious titty

if I remember right, Henako had some of the best items in the game. I think it was because she was a trader or part of a treasure hunter guild.
so whenever I saw her character model, I would rush to check if it was her and see what she had.

In vol 1 she had an unlimited supply of beginners text that helped you get your skill attacks faster. Corpral Yano also was the same. But from vol 2 onwards they fixed it.

Wouldn't it be cool to be able to party up the NPC characters? I think one of the Sword Art Online games allowed you to that. I think it would be neat.

Hollow Fragment and Hollow Realization. The latter especially lets you basically romance everyone even if generics don't get special scenes obviously, and turn any random into steadfast party members.

>mfw i wanna replay the games but my pc is almost dead

Sucks desu. Also stealth bump, we gotta keep it alive for OP!

Bump for OP

PCSX2 runs them quite well. You do not need a top of the line PC to play IMOQ or GU. Upscaling however is a different story.

So...
Sub or dub?

What was the tl;dr on the overall story of .hack?

~DEEP IN THE NIIIIIIGHT~

It's one of the few cases that i don't mind either.

I love that the News section in IMOQ has an ad for Tail Concerto

man creates virtual daughteru as a tribute to his late waifu that didn't love him. daughteru was being nutured by a program that realized it would stop existing once the daughteru was properly born. all hell broke loose as the program didn't want to die. all this happened to be tied to the world's biggest MMO because they used that man's programming as a basis and just sorta black boxed it not expecting shit to get bad and then they tried to cover up shit going bad. some kids and the daughteru stop the program, but it doesn't stop all the problems that linger, and the dev corporation tries to make more money with stupid ideas as everything escalates even worse until an amnesiac victim of the original incidents comes back, accidentally becomes the chosen one and has to fix even more problems gone rampant because his most trusted person was really an asshole.

then things get really stupid after that

A group of Eco terrorists run by feminists want to put everyone on the planet into the game world to protect the earth or some dumb shit like that.

I feel like the phone game stuff was a bi-product of the series not doing that well after a point. I know one of the phone games was meant to be a multiple part game series like the Kite and Haseo saga of games, but they ended up scrapping that idea, which tells me it didn't do well as well.

The over use of Kite's character has no excuse however, they justify it as he and his party are legendary players now, but do we need to follow people that are using his character so much? Both Link and Versus have 3 Kites due to their crossover nature for crying out loud.

What was the actual intended lore of the games?

A dying world. "Twilight" was the result of the epitaph the game was based on. But the twist is that the twilight also means daybreak.

Unknown where the Cursed Wave was born…
After the stars doth cross the heavens,
The sky in the East doth darken and air doth fill with mourning.
From the chosen land beyond the forest, a sign of the wave comes.
Riding the wake is Skeith, the Shadow of Death, to drown all that stands.
Mirage of Deceit, Innis, Betray all with the flawed image, and did aid the Wave.
And by the Power of Magus, a drop from the Wave doth reach the heavens, and creates a new Wave.
With the Wave, Fidchell, the power to tell the dark future, hope darkens, sadness and despair rule.
Gorre schemes when swallowed by the Cursed Wave.
Macha seduces with the sweet trap.
Wave reaches the Pinnacle, and escape none can. Tarvos still remains with more cruelty to punish and destroy.
And with the turbulent destruction after the Wave. Only a void remains. From deep within the void arrives Corbenik.
Perhaps then the Wave is just a beginning as well.

I remember watching this as anime like 13 years ago. Is games related anyway to it?

1. You're a newfag
2. How the fuck do you get a SPEAKER out of this?

SIGN is a direct prequel to the events of the original 4 games, and Roots is a rather dodgy prequel to the GU games. Legend of the Twilight is a shitty anime and better in its manga storyline, and everything else is spinoff stuff, but there's little non-canon material besides certain manga or bonus material.

Also fapped furiously to that winged loli girl with axe who was leading that group of incels guards.

Every bit of .hack is connected.

Well, it seems that a MMO about .hack is out of the question.
youtube.com/watch?v=azIVtxp6hhM
But I have to say, I would love for the next game to have at least coop.

any of those games has same characters from anime?

Congrats, you've masturbated to thoughts of a cripples girl in a wheelchair.

I found the game pretty comfy to farm in with a podcast in the background. There isn't much bullshit with getting items, so data collection is easy.

Characters from SIGN show up in the first four games and two of them end up as party members near the end.

She was an okay character, but Aika was the best part of //Link, followed by Flugel.

Lol he sure uses bunch of buzzwords avoid real reason being that they dont have money to do it.

No one should ever expect an MMO out of this franchise, but co-op isn't unreasonable. Don't even have to host actual online servers for it with the right setup.

SIGN characters cameo in IMOQ, complete with recreations of certain scenes as optional flashbacks, with a couple actually becoming party members. Notably, a certain character from SIGN is the protagonist of Roots and the GU games, but even knowing that is a spoiler.

Why is you're daughter chocolate milk?

Yeah this makes it even hotter.

>apparently contradicts some of the shit from the post-GU stuff
Nope, completely false.
>it might be ignoring that complete mess.
CC2 loves the third season (everything from Link to Thanatos Report), so that is not going to happen.

Unless other games improved upon IMOQ on this, there really isn't much to the games. Grinding to Lv99 with best weapons/armor is trivial.

I'm not sure if anyone knows this but I wanted to point out that in Fragment's offline mode, you ca pretty much party up with most of the SIGN and IMOQ cast, even Shugo and Rena from Legend of The Twilight show up as unlockable party members.

>Time travel or some shit according to some people
For things like this, I'm convinced that the vast majority of people who hate Link never played it. There is no time travel at all.

Wasn't it more akin to a literal Akashic Records in terms of revisiting distorted memories of The World's history but not actually, you know, time traveling? Though Tokio being a dumbass fucked everything up anyway.

How can they look at Link and say its good and actually like it?

why would you want an online version of an offline MMORPG?

The story is 100% .hack, and some of the characters are good, but unfortunately Link has the worst protagonist of the franchise, Tokyo, who is an annoying, generic shonen hero that sounds like Boruto; that and the gameplay is absolutely ass, to the point where I think it would have been better if it was a VN.

would you take a custom protagonist that has VN style decisions, or try to hope for a new protagonist that can live up to their predecessors in quality

Tokyo basically travels through The World's history records, using the data stored in the Akashic Records. All the characters he meets from the previous eras are just data. They are not the real Haseo, or the real Kite, for example.

>precedessors
>s
Après Kite, le déluge

New protagonist who can decide shit for himself or herself and live up to the same standards as Kita and Haseo and pray that he/she doesn't become the new Tokio, nobody wants another Tokio.

I don't know. But in any case there are some good things in the third season. Like the //Bullet novel, or the film //Beyond the World, for example. I also read that //Versus was good, but I never played it.

The remaster of GU looks great, but it does make it easier. If this is a bother, emulate the PS2 versions and look up vol 4 on youtube. The PS2 versions of GU do emulate well but if you plan to upscale they have an issue with a ghosting effect software renderer is not affected.

she really does

Girls love the Twilight.

>look up vol 4 on youtube
What's specifically wrong with this entry? It emulates just as fine as the rest.

Vol 4 is only in the remaster. The PS2 only had vol 1-3.

He's talking about G.U.'s volume 4.

god that model is so much better than this shit

Yeah should've reread it. Thought he was saying quarantine was bullshit and not worth playing through.

Are you able to start from the beginning of vol.4 in remaster like you could with the other games? Maybe use a trainer or save editing to get stats in line?

She is fun character.

UH

Anyone else listen to the .hack OST while they grind in games? I'm finding it really helps in FFXIV when I level an alt job

It comes with cheat mode that maxes everything. This cheat mode can also be used on the other volumes in the remaster.

>Are you able to start from the beginning of vol.4 in remaster
Yeah. You can play the whole thing in like 2hs or so. It is pretty damn short.

Honestly it's fine as far as CGI goes
Always figured The World would look like that if it was real

Have you seen prototype Sora? She's way fucking cuter than the finalized version and her Prototype Kite model looked way fucking better as well. It looks like Azure Kite except not all fucked up.

Agreed. I would love to see an entire film that looked like the prototype version, did you see those backgrounds? Fucking beautiful shit.

How come Did Nothing Wrong isn't popular around here? He killed millions and fucked the world economy in the ass just for an one-in-a-million chance to save his loli.

Ovan is pretty based.

If you wouldn't burn the world for your loli then you need to get the fuck off of this board

Wow, this 100% new to me. Yeah, it looks pretty good, but I still love Sora's final design.

More like he gets to fuck his little German sister only because Shino got mad at Ovan for trying to kill himself.

They RUINED Kite's design in Link and for some reason almost everyone in that game has an Xth form.

I've busted so many nuts to this over the years.

That's Mistral's daughter you sick fug.

This shit got me diamonds as a kid
And i'm now understanding where my love of the dark skin tag originated from. Bless Blackrose.

Mine was the beach one with the cute girl and cute furry girl in bikinis with the surfer in the background

I found Rena's English dub voice very erotic at times, especially when she called out Shugo's name. She would say his name in such a way that it implied she wanted jump on his dingus.

Don't let the thread die now, it's like stopping right before the finish line.

>Blackrose just hanging out with the SIGN crew
The hell?

The .hack series is severely lacking in the r34/doujin department, and what does exist is pretty low quality
That's enough motivation to get good at art. This series deserves more love for it's girls

It was an OVA were the Sign crew and game crew come together to throw a party after Aura was born.
