The west never got this title, but I think it would fit wonderfully into a remake of the original four games as bonus content. Since the 25th Anniversary will be in a couple of years, it might be more feasible to try too get these games re-released for the 30th anniversary. Either way, please give these games a chance. There's a dedicated fan community keeping this game alive.
i mean lets be honest this game just has the coolest lore/concept and the fact that you can acutally play the game as a real mmo making your own character. so much could of came from this if they just kept wanting to try but ig money talks..
I never got to play this title, as the US never saw a proper release, but, having played IMOQ, and recently, GU, I would love to experience this game for the first time, as well as continue to share the world of .Hack// with my viewers.
.hack// always made the online gaming world seem like such a magical place. I was excited to learn they made an online version of "The World" in this edition of .hack//Fragment. It never made it to the USA, so I would absolutely love to see this preserved and playable. I want to get in and explore!
This would probably gather a very niche crowd, but released along side I.M.O.Q. (Original 4 games) with a server for multiplayer, this would probably encourage a small spark of curiosity for folks to explore.
The music, the artwork, the mysteries of "The World", but this time with you being able to create a character and meet characters throughout the franchise to party up for leveling. The character creator is a little limited in some aspects, but wide options and alternate character friendly.
With the multiplayer, it plays like it normally does in offline mode/solo like in the originals, except the game doesn't pause when using the menus and you can equip skills to quick buttons, makings the "classic" combat a little more fluid.
Would be fun to play the game with others, see who they create, the adventures they go on, and the memories they share while playing "The World". :D
This was a neat change from the original .hack//Infection Mutation Outbreak Quarantine game. It uses the same exact game engine but with improvements. Such as the most complaint pausing the game to do anything has been fixed with the shortcut feature. It comes with a story available in the offline game mode. Your character is transferrable between offline and online. You can create up to 3 characters from any of the 6 classes. But the real appeal of this game is the online mode. You can play up to 3 players per run, it's not a true MMO but more of an instanced online party. If all 3 of you and your team mates are wearing equipment that have "Awakening Skills" you can do powerful attacks. You can create your own guild or be invited to an existing one. Players can trade items one on one or sell items through your guild shop. Players can post public messages on the BBS or private in the mailer. And if you are really fortunate you can run into event NPC's online on specific days to run challenging dungeons. And the rarest of chance in running into an online boss called The One Sin, known lore wise how Balmung got his wings. Other features sees the return of grunties which can be raised in offline mode and be used in fields in online mode. There's much to do and the grind is real. Even if the game doesn't end up on GOG's published games, there's always the fan made server (more info at dothack.org/articles/fragment) to play this game today until they day we officially see this game available for everyone.
I never played this game. But, I played the original 4 .//Hack games on the PS2.... I think that, a remake/port of those games being made along with this, a game that never came to the west. Would be an amazing thing for .//Hack fans.
Just got into this game, and I can't believe it was never (officially) localized in the West. Imagine: Phantasy Star Online, except it's .hack! Pretty cool, huh?
The character creation is a little bit lacking, but getting the opportunity to play as something that isn't twin blade is great! There's a bit of an offline story to show you the ropes and allow you to gain characters from the series as party members, but you can also define your own area keywors and host your own server--or join someone else's. It's great!

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake EaterMetal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is the follow up to Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. It is the first prequel in the series, taking the series to the year 1964. The player takes the role as the series' original antagonist, Big Boss, then known as Naked Snake.
MGS3 is the first game in the series to take place in a jungle. This unique setting created an opportunity for new mechanics. The player can adapt to the environment by swapping Snake's camouflage, hunt animals and gather plants for food. This iteration in the series introduced a new feature in which the player must apply medicine and perform medical procedures on Snake if he is damaged in combat. Apart from the survival themed features, the controls and gameplay of the game are very similar to Metal Gear Solid 2. Like other Metal Gear games, the focus is on stealth, but the player can go through the entire game like a shooter if they choose to. Throughout the game Snake acquires weapons of all types; non-lethal firearms, handguns, sniper rifles, machine guns, shotguns, sub-machine guns, and explosives.
Metal Gear Solid 3 was the first game to implement the CQC (close quarters combat) system. CQC allowed Snake to beat enemies down to knock them out, or put them in a chokehold to knock them out, kill them, or and/or question them.
Metal Gear Solid 3's health system required the player to occasionally pause the game and treat Snake's ailments. When Snake is shot, there is a chance that the bullet didn't pass through him, requiring the player to use a knife to remove the bullet, apply disinfectant, apply styptic and bandage the wound. This was done through a submenu in the pause screen. Other ailments the player must treat Snake for include: leeches, broken bones, burns, cut, arrow/bolts/needles, stomach sickness, colds, and food/venom poisoning.
Adding to the survival elements of the game, Snake Eater lives up to its name by requiring the player to scavenge food for Snake. Under the life bar there is stamina bar. If Snake does not eat any food the bar depletes, causing various effects. When the stamina bar is low, the player's ability to aim is severely handicapped, Snake's hands will shake in the first person aiming mode. Just like real life, Snake's stomach can also rumble, enemy soldiers can hear this, and will be alerted to Snake's presence.Action Fantasy Historical Stealth Survival Drama
Resident Evil Code: VeronicaResident Evil Code: Veronica is the fourth video game in Capcom's Resident Evil survival horror series. The game continues the survival horror gameplay of its predecessors: the protagonist explores the surroundings, fighting monsters and solving puzzles. However, it is the first game in the series to do away with pre-rendered backgrounds using a fully polygonal 3D engine instead, which allows for features such as real-time lighting and camera movement. Still, such movements are only used sparingly, and the use of perspective is mostly unchanged from earlier installments: the camera automatically switches to different static angles showing protagonists, monsters and rooms from different spooky viewpoints.Action Horror Survival
Resident Evil ZeroResident Evil Zero is a third-person survival horror video game and a prequel to the first Resident Evil. The gameplay remains largely the same as previous entries in the series but also introduces what it calls a partner zapping system, which allows you to switch between the two characters Rebecca and Billy at any time. This feature must be used at times, as the game requires both characters to work together to solve some puzzles. New to the game are a bunch of terrifying enemies, like the mutant centipede, new areas to explore, and the ability to drop items on the ground instead of having to find an item box.Action Horror Survival
