Each game comes with an extra DVD containing an episode of .hack//Liminality, the accompanying original video animation series which details fictional events that occur concurrently with the games.
The games are part of a multimedia franchise called Project .hack which explores the mysterious origins of The World. Set after the events of the anime series .hack//Sign, the games focus on a player named Kite and his quest to discover why some users have become comatose as a result of playing The World. The search evolves into a deeper investigation of The World and its effects on the stability of the Internet.Show more

.hack unfortunately is the unloved middle child of Bandai Namco stuck between Digimon and SAO. The Sequel games from the "second season" of the .hack series were already remade, so it's only right to make these historic gems accessible...especially since the 25th Anniversary will be in a couple of years. Please just give these games a chance.
I'll never forget how excited I was to have started playing this game so long ago. What many felt at the end of "Avengers: Endgame" and the build up to it was the original .hack games for me. To see this large epic story come to a close, one that even to this day still gives me goosebumps, was both bitter (because it was over) and satisfying. It honestly was my "Man..." moment of gaming.
I would love to see this series come back, and I really GOG will make that come true.
.hack//IMOQ is probably my favourite set of PS2 games and one of my favourite franchises to this date. The old MMO aesthetic of the four/five games is a relic of a bygone era of gaming, with oldstyle menus to flip through, different and elemental areas to test your strength, quests for rare items and volume exclusive companions, and loads of NPCs to both trade with. I would love to see this game be available on GOG 💙
This was one of the first rpgs I ever played, after pokemon. I fell in love with the world, the characters, the level grind, all of it. the .hack series has always had a special place in my heart and I've been dying to be able to play them updated for pc. In these uncertain times, this game would bring a real spark of joy to my life.
.Hack// Had such an intriguing story, that spanned various media, including videogames, anime, manga, and light novels. Unfortunately, .Hack// and it's story have been burried thanks to Bandai heavily promoting Sword Art Online. .Hack//IMOQ was one of the first games to really pique my interest in both anime and gaming! Now, as a streamer, I would love to show these games some love, and share these 4 games with my audience, because the series means that much to me, as i am unable to setup an emulator to play these games! Yes, it is a typical grindy RPG, but I found the story quite phenomenal, and still do to this day!
I already wrote what amounts to an fluffin essay about why i love these games (on the post for INFECTION) but.. honestly QUARANTINE, despite being the most expensive, is literally one of my favourite games of all time. It's the climax of the story and even while reading the book i was insanely pumped the entire time and even while playing the game... chill bumps.
Everything i love about these games about the story was just brought to light here and it was just the best way to end it imo(q ɔƐ:). I absolutely love this game and the other three in the quadrillogy (or whatever the word is), but this one... this one is my absolute favourite. it is absolutely a damn shame how difficult it is to access these games these days. I hope that one day we all can enjoy them legally and without costing so much as they do today.
I can't express how much I want the whole IMOQ to be remade/remastered/re-released on PC. It just makes no sense that made the whole G.U and not IMOQ (I STILL LOVE G.U WITH ALL MY HEART, BUT I ALSO WANT IMOQ!) I'd 100% drop money for IMOQ if they re-released them on Steam x.x.
The final chapter of the four part Kite saga, definitely a necessity to find closure to his narrative. And granted we did get .hack//Another Birth which is the same story told from Black Rose's point of view. To those who played the first three games will find it difficult to find this game affordably to finish the story. Having this game on GOG would make this game accessible to everyone who can't afford the second hand market prices.
.Hack is a famously inaccessible series with rare and expensive games. Despite that, it has a strong and dedicated community who are eager to explore the games again and share them with their friends. This would be a wonderful addition to your digital collection.

Breath of Fire: Dragon QuarterBreath of Fire: Dragon Quarter is a radical departure from the previous titles of the Breath of Fire series, and in some ways from standard Japanese-style role-playing games in general. The game is built like a huge dungeon crawler, with no overworld map. The combat is tactical: each character has action points (AP), which can be used to move around the screen during an enemy encounter, and perform a variety of combo attacks. There is no magic in the game, and many of the items found in dungeons are random. All the enemies are visible on screen. Depending on who first initiated a physical contact, the party or the enemies get an extra turn in battles.
The game allows (and even encourages) the player to restart it from the beginning, keeping the items and the party experience. The game also features a special counter - Ryu can use his traditional dragon transformation abilities, but the counter raises with each such transformation, and when the counter reaches 100, the game is over. Raising the D-ratio allows characters to access new areas every time the game is replayed.Fantasy

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 is a role-playing video game developed by Square Enix and Tose and published by Square Enix for the Nintendo 3DS. It is the sequel to Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2, and is the sixth game in the Dragon Quest Monsters series. It was released in Japan on March 24, 2016.
The top screen of the Nintendo 3DS shows a third-person perspective of the main character and the world around him, called "Break World", while the bottom screen shows a map of the nearby area, with the current goal circled in red. The protagonist carries a device known as a Reactor, which can be used to discover hidden objects or paths. Some paths require the player to be riding a monster to traverse. Players will be able to ride on the 500 different monsters that populate the game world. The monsters come in either land, sea, or sky varieties, meaning that different types monsters are required to traverse different paths. Players can also equip them with accessories and level them up.
Leveling up a monster can give it new abilities, such as the ability to do more jumps in a row and therefore access areas previously out of reach. The Reactor device can also be used to scan monsters to discover information about them. If the player attacks a monster while riding, the other monster begins the battle stunned or knocked out. A competitive mini-game is included called "Great Riders Cup" that uses the monster riding system of the main game and allows up to four players to compete either with the game AI or with local players or others over Wifi. The games protagonist can be visually customized with different color for hair, scarf, boots, pants, and gloves. Monsters can also be color customized by finding and rescuing a monster called Color Fondue who can perform "Color Fusion" on monsters a player controls.
As with the previous game, Square Enix released Joker 3 Professional, an expanded version of the game, on February 9, 2017. Professional is the final entry in the Joker series.Fantasy Science fiction
