psu: do you like the background story???

[CpwninOBrien]

im sure just bout every1 by now knows bout psus backstory whats ur feelings on it???

i kinda like the idea of alien invasion its lot more fun than just gettin on ship and going to new planet

[Mitz]

I have no clue what the background story is. Well I do a bit, therefore I like PSO's one more. With the sinister miliraty plots and such.

Man, I hate when porn video games try to have a story. Really though, the story seems like it might be interesting.

I don't know enough about the backstory to really make a comment on it's quality. I know the quick synopsis most everyone else does, of course, but I won't know the whole story until getting the game myself and really digging in.

So far I don't like it nearly as much as I liked the PS backstory - but a lot more than I liked the PSO backstory.

I don't think it could be as good as the old Phantasy Star games, but it seems like you're more invovled with the plot than PSO, although the hidden storylines in the game and subplots were really cool.

[Openget]

No idea what the story is, but hopefully it wont be generic

[Kindaichi]

It's meh....but its all about the online baby.

[Sevenfold]

Couldnt care less.

[Genobee]

zomg earth sux lets go the ragol! OHNOES DARK FLZ PWNS US! Send rico she will save us! ohnoes can't find rico! send more peoples! the end.

in a nutshell

History of the human race in a nutshell:

Guy 1: I don't like you.
Guy 2: No u.
Guy 1: NO U!
*armies march*
Rinse and repeat.

It's pretty easy to present anything in an uninteresting way if that's your aim.

I myself liked the PSO backstory. I didn't like the presentation of the story, at least up until they finally figured out how to do some actual storytelling in Episodes 3 and 4. But the story itself was good, IMO.

Couldn't care less.. If I want a good storyline I'll play Final Fantasy. I'm buying this for the online play.

[tank1]

To me the story is pretty meh but in the end aslong as it gives me an excuse to blow stuff up i dont care.

[Ryogen]

I know I'll enjoy it. Sad that some neglect that sega made a "story" for us.

[Ryudo]

I quite like the offline story, Ethan gets hurt lots, which pleases me

[Saner]

ya I love the backstory, it's FAR SUPERIOR to PSO's story scenario, plus closer to the classic Phantasy Stars. and not just 3 planets in a solar system and stuff like that, PSU's atmosphere and style is truly beautiful and cool. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

I lol'd.

Ugh... for god's sake don't turn to Final Fantasy for a good storyline. They can't even make a half-way decent movie. Crack a book once in a while. The Elder Scrolls has a far, far, better stories than anything Square has produced - and even they are ranked well below even most of the dime-a-dozen AD&D module novels.

If you want good storylines, don't play videogames, read a book once in a while.

While not even being close to accurate, that pretty much resembles PSO's storyline structure.
