Is PSU fast paced? Is it more fast paced than like... Ragnarok Online or FFXI?

If so, which game would it look more like? I really like speed.... thanks.

I'd say so. The clips seem to indicate that a twin dagger combo goes by in just a second or two. Theres no clicking on enemies to attack them, you run up to them and attack, strafe, w/e.

You could say RO is pretty fast paced in that you have to constantly mash skills and potions hotkeys. PSU isn't fast paced in this way (actually I don't really find it that fast paced) but you'll have to manually aim and dodge attacks most of the time.

For a game in general, it isn't very quickly paced. The pace can easily be compared to that of PSO's, though just more player interaction.

For an online RPG, it still isn't as quickly paced as WoW, but it's more interactive.

If you enjoyed PSO's pacing, you will enjoy PSU's.

That's just a lot of things happening at once. Look at the speed the player recording is playing.

Then again, why would anybody play an online game meant to be played with other people alone? You would only play solo if you're going to wait for your friends.

Whoa what's with the personal attack, i'm not making anything up, I've played WoW (as a rogue in fact) and PSU; in my opinion PSU is faster. Also, I never said WoW sucked, nor did I say PSU rules.

Also do remember that in solo play you usually will have a partner card to help you out, but I have seen some really good videos of people solo'ing and its just as hectic. I will see if I can find one. Oh and be grateful considering games like FFXI have almost no solo play whatsoever http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I know you never said anything like that. The reason I said that was because I hadn't any other idea how you could think PSU is faster paced other than biasedness.

In all honesty PSU is slow and clunky compared to most encounters in WoW. I'm not sure how else to word it; maybe I should go look for that Razorgore video, lol.

Weak
Oct 14, 2006, 09:10 PM
I wouldn't say PSU is slow compared to WoW.

Hell, why compare them at all? They're very different.

They're both fast paced in their own ways.

I'll just end my opinion with this, lol. First mistake by me was trying to compare the two online RPG's over a PSO fansite forum.

Canor, I didn't really mean for it to be a personal attack on you, more like something to back my opinion. I apologise if it hurt you personally. We're only going to go around in circles debating over it, let's end it with

Maybe it just feels faster to me cause i'm using a controller rather than a keyboard, but in most WoW enounters (non boss) you just stand still performing attacks, and waiting. In PSU there's strafing and dodging mixed with strategy.

how 'bout Monster Hunter?

Weak
Oct 14, 2006, 09:36 PM
Monster Hunter's gameplay is.. slow depending on who you are. If you're a gunner, you spend a lot of time aiming and switching bullets, reloading.. It's pretty fast I'd say.

Melee is slow depending on the weapon, but even still it has the PSO mentality of "you can't change direction while attacking".

I'd say it's a medium, for speed.

I like that you can hold left bumper to lock on to things and strafe round them, as for turning during attacking, you can to a degree but it's never wise to put yourself into a position where you actually need to turn around

Oct 15, 2006, 12:35 AM
WoW isent fast paced, they just let you string your abilities faster, once youve done that and your abilities are on there cooldowns its actually quite slow


Really though, why call a game like RO fast paced just because they let you spam one ability over and over as fast as your fingers can press it, that aint fast paced thats crappy game mechanics lol(same for WoW, sinister strike spam ftl)

in this game you have to manually manuever your character away from mobs before they smash you down, that movie seemed to be a party who outleveled that content because they were in no danger, once they fight something that is there level it will become a game more similar to a fps than a rpg because of the dodging youll have to do to stay alive, that my friends is what fast paced is

I think it depends on how you define a fast paced game.

You are in less control in a game like WoW than you are in PSU. There is no way to dodge something like a fireball or step out of range once the warrior has begun a swing of his weapon to avoid an attack, which you can in PSU.

WoW may have times where it can be fast paced, but it is usually either through spamming skills and/or huge hits that end things fast. Spamming skills until you are in range won't work in PSU or even just spamming skills while you are in range as the mobs will just attack you anyway, which brings up another point. In MMOs like WoW, they have a tank class hold the attention of mobs, while in PSU you usually try to avoid getting hit when you can, even as a hunter. You don't just stand in one spot fighting a mob(s) until it dies/rans away. Well I guess you could, but you'd end up either wasting a lot of money on healing items or wasting the force's pp on using resta over and over again. Mobs (at least certain types, especially if it is like PSO at higher difficulties) tend to be much more deadly/dangerous than the typical MMO mob.

I'm sure some of the people more familiar with WoW can make arguments on why it is more fast paced, but IMO due to the fairly major differences I mentioned I don't feel WoW is nearly as fast paced.

Candor
Oct 15, 2006, 10:03 AM
The main reason i say PSU is faster than WoW is the cooldown system WoW has, some of the abilities have 5min cooldowns (or longer), and then there's the recovery time inbetween fights. When I play PSU it's kill one monster then on to the next, it's missions even score you on how long it took, PSU was designed to be played fast.
