.hack//G.U. Last Recode

I love/hate the dot hack games. The anime tropes are really annoying to me, but the idea of these games and their gameplay keeps me hooked. I can't even say the games are good, yet, I've replayed both series multiple times. I hope they remaster the first four games. Or just make a new series.

The gameplay and pacing are quite dated by now, but the aesthetics and sincerity shine through. The fake forum posts are awesome and make me nostalgic for a bygone era. Long live Blue Eyed Samurai

Pegar os volumes para jogar em sequência é um pouco cansativo, mas são ótimos jogos!

This game ♥♥♥♥♥

[h1]Story (6/10)[/h1] It’s on the interesting side. I liked how things like forum posts or news articles expand the world building. Lots of lore dump in a separate file (game selection screen), which I noticed when I have already completed all 4 games. [h1]Graphics (4/10)[/h1] From character models to animations they look dated (since these are old games it's ok). Battle animations look a bit better in the 4th game. [h1]Gameplay (4/10)[/h1] Dungeon design is monotonous and there are a lot of them. The battle system is ok, but feels a bit clunky. [h1]Sound (5/10)[/h1] The normal battle theme is used way too often. A few good music pieces here and there. [h1]Performance/Configuration/Settings (4/10)[/h1] Experienced screen tearing when moving the character (even with V-Sync on). I'm 99% sure this is not intended. Didn't hinder me to play the game. There are also no Steam Cloud saves. No sure, if the manual backup will work. Game crashed 3 ties in the Arena. [Misc] I like a certain character voice acting a lot (Atoli)

So I have been playing this game on and off for years, I've been the original 3 back when they came first came out back in early 2000's or so, (can't remember exact dates) and honestly I loved it then and I love it now, this is probably one of my first jrpg's besides the original .hack (still waiting on that remake Atlus) and also Final Fantasy. and I have come back to this one more than any other ones, I will admit sometimes it can be a slog but if you do the normal amount of leveling and work in the game, I honestly don't think it will be that difficult. and if you want to make it more difficult you can, I also love the extra quests although I hate the every person one (can't remember the name of it) but the others are quite fun, question is, is it worth 50-60$ honestly, yes you're getting easily 100 hours or more if you want to 100% it for all 4 games, and depending on when this game gets discounts. that means it's an even better deal.
