Phantasy Star Online Gets Carded, PC-ed

Posted by simoniker on Tuesday January 13, 2004 @12:01AM from the rappy-in-your-lappy dept.

Thanks to IGN Cube for their article taking an in-depth look at the U.S. version of Phantasy Star Online Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution for GameCube. They note the advantages and disadvantages of the GC-exclusive online CCG title: "Since it is a PSO game, the legions of fans that can't get enough of dungeon crawling will immediately be interested in PSOIII, but since it no longer holds the same basic hack n' slash mechanics that made Episode I so popular, Episode III by its nature will turn off many of the same fans that are meant to embrace it." Over at PSO World there are multiple resources for the import version of PSO: Episode III, including a card database and a guides section, and the site also has news on an in-development PC version of Phantasy Star Online: Episode 1 & 2, though a U.S. release for that is as yet unknown.

PSO2 problems by stylerm · 2004-01-13 03:36 · Score: 0, Offtopic

I think its PSO2. The one on xbox. My youger brother got it and xbox live for christmas. He played it for 3 days before the rampant hacking caused him too lose interest. What really is the point of playing when anything good you might find has been duped to hell and back. When everyone has the same good equipment. When someone gives you awsome items right off the bat. Hes got 2 months of free xbox live gold servie (I think its called gold), and hes already looking for a way to cancel it. If they charge a montly fee then they should have 24-7 game moderators. Moderators with the power to suspend/ban accounts on the spot. The should also keep the data serve side instead of on the xbox hard drive.
