    As long as the reviews and sales keep going good, PSO might have a brighter future!

      Yep.. that's the first thing I thought when I saw this news post. The GameCube version deserves no better than a low to average score.. I mean, look at it :

      -Fucked in Japan because of all the exploits that allow users to cheat

      -US version also filled with exploits that allow users to cheat

      -US and Japanese gamers separated

      -No keyboard in the US

      -Hard to find network and modem adapters

      -Reset, craches, and freeze problems (all like the DC versions)

      -Tons of other bugs

      Any reviewer that gives a score like 94 is obviously biased, walked away with huge money bags, or didn't even play the game.

      Now the Xbox version.. so far it's looking to be much better than this.

      wow thats all u can say about the xbox version? well i havent heard anything that bad about the gamecube but i heard the xbox loads too long thats what i dont like. the controller sucks and u gotta be the rich to own an xbox (like bill gates!!?)i would like to feel good playing the game without loading shit and a uncomfortable controller wouldnt u? so i would stick offline wait till they fixed it, if what u say is true, than enjoy the Gamecube version online.

      Xbox only costs $50 more than a Gamecube... To counter you're argument futher those of us that have $150-$200 to spend on entertain as more well off than most ppl in the world who can't even afford a hot meal. The Xbox version actually loads much faster, i've seen it in action, it uses the hard drive to preload areas. The controller is just fine... Anyone who makes fun of the controller obviously hasn't used one; And if you don't like the basic big controller get the Controller S it's an official alternative that is much more compact. Either way I felt the Gamecube controller to be very cramped when playing PSO... It's all a matter of opinion.

      1 the game isnt "fucked" in japan. There arent any "chaet devices" for GC pso or codes yet. The dupping prob has been corrected.

      2 "us version isnt filled with expoits", I play it every day, havent seen one "exploit" at all. FSOD rumor are lies just to get low ass lvl lazy players to get something from high lvl players.

      3 US and Jap separated. Well thats OUR fault. Sega calims that the US was the major source for all hacking via GS or xploder codes.

      4. Reset, craches, and freeze problems (all like the DC versions) I've played over a week now , am lvl 70, and havent seen it crash ONCE

      5-Tons of other bugs..This a vague statement, there arent any bugs that have been found yet.

      6) BBA and Modem avaialability. Thats BS theres tons of them out there. If you would have just reserved a copy you woulda had one. Order one today instead of complaining and by the weekend yu'll have one.

      The only thing I agree is the keyboard issue, it really sucks ass that we dont have one yet.

      I'd give pso gc a 95. Ive seen ep2's lvls. I've understood the new play mechanics. Anyone who reviews this game below a 90 isnt really a true gammer.



      you state:

      "Now the Xbox version.. so far it's looking to be much better than this."

      perhaps it will be SOMEWHAT BETTER, but not "much better" smells to me like your're simply a x box fanboy..lmao Noting wrong woth that tho.

      The only hassle is the keyboard.

      WRONG. The dupe bug hasn't and can't be fixed because it can be done offline. There's also already hacks available that allow the Japanese gamers to : Modify items and create, modify your character, and improve stats, etc.


      2 "us version isnt filled with expoits", I play it every day, havent seen one "exploit" at all. FSOD rumor are lies just to get low ass lvl lazy players to get something from high lvl players.
      The FSOD rumor? That's a bug fool.. I think he was talking about the already discovered method to dupe items.


      3 US and Jap separated. Well thats OUR fault. Sega calims that the US was the major source for all hacking via GS or xploder codes.
      No, actually Japanese players have always been the bigger cheaters.. but that's beside the point, you're misinformed. The real reason Japanese and US servers are separated is because the Japanese version is an older build than the US version that allows easy duping offline. In a few months, Sonic Team will be releasing an updated version in Japan that fixes the offline duping, and once again combine the Japanese and US gamers.


      4. Reset, craches, and freeze problems (all like the DC versions) I've played over a week now , am lvl 70, and havent seen it crash ONCE
      Liar. This game is a buggy piece of shit. Just look at the forums, there was a poll almost everyone said they had already experienced at least 1-2 FSOD's, and RSOD's. THESE THINGS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN AT ALL, EVEN TO ONE PERSON ONLY ONCE.

      You people are to harsh on SEGA.

      I think you peoples think only of your self.

      Plus Things aren't producted in one day.

      It takes many days to create a product and you people don't know half of the production process.

      The keyboard will come out when it's ready.

      Plus I think the game is quite good.
