...I hope that this isn't going to be a drip feed of content already locked away on the disc.

Please.

Without the offline story mode, would you ever know?

Yes, that would not be good. But is there really any reason to make a new topic about it, when there's no information on it whatsoever?

Wait I thought people could scan through the game clients files...

That usually how a lot of people find future content in a few F2P games I've played in the past at least.

But it's usually when said content is actually close to coming out, nothing as severe as what they did to us in PSU... Well... USUALLY...

The people who know how to do so can. Initial limitations, like the barricading of certain travel points in PSU, may also give it away.

I already expect people will datamine the Alpha client. :wacko:

Having the game only for PC, I wouldn't be too worried about that, but I don't see it bad that they put the game online with not too much content unlocked yet, I mean, poor people, thye just made a game, let them have some vacations before working on updates. <_<

Yes, the Alpha will be data mined to hell.

It would have been mined if it were a console game, but now that its a PC game....even worse.

There's no need to drip content from the disc if the platform has no data storage limitations (PC).

Much agreed, but if I had a nickle for every time I thought SEGA did something that was unneccesary...lol

If and IF there's a story/campaign mode, it MIGHT (massively qualified before I die in a fire) be indication of an offline mode. That's a very big IF.

Why ask for an offline mode in this day and age? As long as I'm not forced to Ethan Waber my way through, why not? :p

I actually liked playing as Ethan...

Over my own precious original characters being treated like lame sidecharacters.

With the main character being technically being Laia or someones sister...

I liked Ethan Waber as a character for the most part. What i hated was PSU's storytelling.

I really liked Ethan, Karen AND Hyuga. Until Karen became a little wimpy bitch, and Hyuga...well, he's just been the butt of every fanservice joke ever now. The whole "HYUGA'S A DUMAN NOW" thing made me facepalm so hard i still have the imprint in my face. The characters in PSU were fine. The terrible plot twists is what killed it for me in the long run.

When Mirei died, i wasnt even sad or surprised. I was just confused.

Hyugas always been gross pale...

But at least he was entertaining before he became a bishounen.

I miss fugly pale smartass Hyuga... over sparkly eye, wise-ass-asian-guy-glasses, emo hair, and confident smile Hyuga...

If you think Hyuga was bad, you should see how bad they raped Flowen and Rico.

the WHOLE POINT of Rico and Flowen being legendary is that 1) they're dead, and 2) you'll never be able to compare their strengths because you'll never encounter them. When a story paints a character as legendary, amazingly skilled, or super powerful, they usually SPECIFICALLY model it in order for you to build their fighting image with your imagination.


Great example is Sephiroth (lol). In FF7, you're told of how amazingly ridiculously powerful he is. For about 10 minutes of gameplay, they actually stick him in your party. He's completely AI controlled, and pretty much everything he touches dies instantly, using magic and doing damage you wont even be seeing until the end of the game.


Rico? Regular ol' AI cannon fodder.



Anyway, the Hyuga's character rape was especially bad, seeing as he was established as one of the best fighters in the whole game.
