The PC/PS2 refugees thread, why did YOU quit for 360/JP?

[Sinue_v2]

PSU became in 3 months what at least took PSO a year+ to accomplish.

Apperantly, you never played PSO. PSU's level of cheating is absolutely nothing compaired to the mess that PSO was, even in it's early days. Were the PS2 servers not connected to the PC servers, then the PS2 version would most likely be almost X360 clean themselves. And for the record, PSO PC had far more, and FAR MORE HARMFUL cheats out within 24 hours of it's release than what PSU has, or probably ever will have. The only reason why the NGC version wasn't cheated en-mass immediately was the lack of a cheat device to use on it. Even then, shop dupe (and the more common memory-card pull dupe whatever) was out from day 1.

With all it's problems, PSU for the PC/PS2 is still a goddamned paradise compaired to the old days - expecially the v.1/v.2 days.

Xbox is in a similar situation as far as the reason for there being a lack of cheating, is theres a lack of cheating devices. But thats more largely due to Microsofts efforts, than to SoA's efforts.

And its probably very possible to hack on ps2, but it just doesn't look like its persued because its so eas y to do on PC, or it would involve a PC proxy.

Amen. . .

That's why the cheating on PSU doesn't bother me, and it shouldn't bother others. FSOD is gone, and you have no worries of character corruption. And your character can't be 'ck'ed' in a game by another player.

PSOBB as I've heard, has it the worst of all the PSOs.

I played PSO V2, and there was a fucking booma in the lobby killing people and I got NOL'd every few weeks to boot.

Fun stuff. PSU hacks have nothing on the dreamcast days
