I won't pay monthly for this crap, free online I would gladly buy the game...but to bad so sad.

Microsoft Master6430d ago

I've never liked Japanese games (i'm not racist for the record) they just don't appeal to me. But i may give this game a chance...

TheXgamerLive6430d ago

But I wont buy unless it's released for less than $20.00.

ElementX6430d ago

I remember Phantasy Star 1-3 on Sega. Those were awesome games, even though I was in elementary school and didn't know much about plotlines and stuff. I remember finding Odin in the first Phantasy Star game in a tunnel somewhere and how you could only walk through forests if one of your characters had an axe.

THE TRUTH6429d ago

after quiting FFXI on PS2 (just takes up too much time to do anything!) I will be picking this up with or without monthly fees. I'm excited about the voice-chat because using the keyboard to talk is just so slow.

Can't There Be a Good Xbox MMO?

VGU.TV's Andrew Nino explores the sad legacy of MMO attempts on the Xbox and Xbox 360, and why massively multiplayer gameplay has had such a hard time getting by on Microsoft consoles.

MMOs and consoles aren't good friends.

kratos1234072d ago

DCUO is pretty good in my opinion and you can see that the devolpers are quit happy with what they have build on the ps3.

ab5olut10n4072d ago

i think it's just difficult to do mmo's on consoles in general

wwm0nkey4072d ago

PSO2, TERA, Defiance(is coming to 360) and maybe Elder Scrolls Online will work since it only has 5 action buttons.

Seriously though PSO2 and TERA need to come to PS3/360 or next gen systems at least.

InMyOpinion4072d ago

I have been wondering that all this gen.

Still amazed why they didn't create an MMO game where you play as your avatar. Give the accessories you can buy attributes etc.

theWB274072d ago

Dammit I was looking forward to True Fantasy Online back with the old box. Shed a tear when it got cancelled. It was to be my jump into the MMO arena. Sigh : (

The article talks about most of the games pretty quickly and then all of a sudden STAR WARS. STAR WARS EVERYWHERE.

Why is there no mention of Diablo 3?

kirbyu4111d ago

The only thing I don't like about SMB2 is the controls for picking up stuff is confusing.

kirbyu4111d ago

Also, Doki Doki Panic is a Nintendo game. So SMB2 isn't a copy, it's a localization.

Goodbye to a game that gave me quite a few memories. I met some people on PSU that I still play with today. Always sad to see a game go..... Thank you Phantasy Star Universe.

Griffin48714226d ago

Was a good game, and it should have been treated much better than Sega did.

Never played any phantasy star game but it seems as though I'm missing out.

How is the DS game ?

nihonlight4226d ago (Edited 4226d ago )

Phantasy star online was awesome and so fun for it's time.
