What keeps you playing PSO?

[halibabica]

PSO is a game where you go out and kill stuff. By doing so, you find better stuff that helps you...kill more stuff. And you kill more stuff, finding even better stuff to help you kill EVEN MORE STUFF in an endless circle of slaughter and self-improvement.

So, what keeps you coming back to this game for more? For me, it's in the challenge the game presents. Even after playing for a long time, the game still manages to be difficult enough to hold my interest. Also, the wide variety of weapons and fighting styles have kept me hooked. Sometimes I'll ascribe myself to just one of my weapons and do my best to take down an entire area using just that weapon.

And then there's the whole issue of me being addicted to finding little red boxes...heh heh heh...

So, yeah, what keeps you playing PSO? It's endured console changes and series advancement for this long, so it must be persevering somehow!

Well me personaly i fight my little brother over the red boxes lol... when ever one sees one it's always a race to it even if there are monsters around it. which is how i got my delsabers buster. there were 5 delsabers and the box was in the corner. he died lol. EVERYONE loves when they see a red box! but its the enjoyment that i get. even still i get my but kicked in the ruins on ult as well as the mines. PSO is just a challenge i think everyone likes. its a fun, addicting game.

Rare items.
Urge to use new items.
Urge to get to level 200.
Urge to find all weapons.
Fun factor.
Social aspect (BB and future GC).
Quests.

Many other reasons I can't think of right now.

It's fun. :3

Fighter- I'd like to add that while seeing red boxes rocks, when hunting a particular rare for ages and you see one, you get this sinking feeling... "It's a PD, I know it is."

Yes, those little boxes are addicting!

[zfighter14]

Yes, those little boxes are addicting!

Yea when you see them you get happy!

[halibabica]

It's kind of scary to think of how rare item crates can affect us like that. Maybe if they weren't just that perfect shade of red...

Hardly anything, which is why I barely play anymore. It's mostly that I've lost the addiction, but I still have a good time, so when I actually do have free time and I decide to play PSO, I normally play for a while.
