.hack//G.U. Last Recode

This is a wonderful game. The thing is, after I finished volume 1, my game crashed multiple times, after which I cannot transfer my data to volume 2 for some reason. Then, when I uninstall it to try and solve this problem it wipes all of my save data. It's heartbreaking really but I cannot recommend this to anyone.

[USER FIX BELOW] Cloud saves used to be enabled, now they're disabled and I lost 27hrs of playtime. Fix this Namco. Stay clear of this game until the cloud saves are fixed! While a user fix is listed below, my review will remain negative until the game is updated to feature cloud saves natively. [UPDATE:] Apparenty inputting this command in the Steam Console should fix it: Steps for Windows: Win key + R steam://open/console Steam Console command: testappcloudpaths 525480

Notes: - .Hack//G.U. Last Recode covers the G.U. portion of the .Hack series and what happened after .Hack//Roots, which is an 26-episode anime series (Optional but not required to understand the story past Volume 1). - The first 4 installments where Kite is the protagonist (.Hack//Infection and so on) are not included and are NOT required to understand the full story of G.U. - Other than that, there's complementary content and alternate versions of G.U. outside of the game but this game is the canon story of the G.U. portion and other games, mangas and animes are vaguely referenced in the game as a jig and not part of the main story. Main Story: The game starts where the .Hack//Roots left off after the Twilight Brigade events where Haseo becomes a PKK (Player-killer killer) and hunts for Tri-edge to avenge his friend Shino. The game is divided into 3 acts where Volume 4 serves as a 3-hour long Epilogue to the whole G.U. Saga. Online Jack (on the News Capture) occurs at the same time as the G.U. events. Gameplay: It's a 2007 JRPG where you smash Attacks to perform 1-2-3 combos and use skills as a mix-up. Combos change depending on the weapon and you gain more weapon-types later in Volume 2, a slight rework in Volume 3 and a full rework in Volume 4. It's a 2007 game, it can feel severly dated yet nostalgic- very similar to Tales of Games. You gain increased EXP from enemies with higher level, Damage scales off Level disparity, between the range 1 to 10 and grinding for EXP isn't much of a thing unless you skip pass all the enemies on the field- but it doesn't take long to find a word combination outside the main story and start grinding 3 - 5 levels in 10mins. Exploration: You use a 3-word system to generate an instance and walk around hallways with enemies located on specific areas, repeating the same combination of words will yield the same result and you can fine tune the enemy's level range and rewards with the 2nd and 3rd word- as well as area objective and location. It can feel quite repetitive. Aesthetic: The game tries to replicate the feel of booting up your old PS2, XB360 or even Gamecube menu with functions like email, movies, forums and such to emulate the feeling of an old PC from the early 2000s. Every time you logout the game, it's as if you're done for the day and log in the next day, hence the gimmick of "logout > check email > login > repeat" model through the entire game's story. Rating: As dated as the game is, it's a solid 6/10 for new people, 7/10 for those who ride on the nostalgia of old games and probably a 7.5 to 8/10 for the .hack fans- as it's the last game CyberConnect released since 2017 related to the .hack series. If Bandai allowed them, they would, willingly, make a sequel, with all of these traits updated to today's design philosophies and a modern twist to the .hack series.

oh, so .hack games are hard to come by, and I get that the orginal ps2 versons may be hard to come by plus the 4th addon game in this pack is extremely enjoyable... I recomend this game but I feel the need to warn.. people complained that the orginal game was too hard or too grindy so they increased the experance gained by what feels 10x. so it's great if you only care about the story but if you enjoy the gameplay and want a challange or honestlly a better experance i highly recomend playing the orginal ps2 verson, somehow,. and yeah i own All the /hack games, both this trilogy and the orginal 4 on ps2.

Cloud saves were disabled, turn them back on you monsters :(

Release the original trilogy bandai stop gatekeeping this amazing series

[h1] 掉帧解决方法：找到hackGU.exe，右键修改默认图形处理器 [/h1] 开篇剧情很精彩，一下子交代了故事背景和主要矛盾，但是接下来前期的整体节奏是偏慢的，可能需要玩家耐下性子。不过伴随着好听的配乐，这一过程倒不算难熬。 随着进度加深、游戏要素增多，战斗会更加有趣，剧情也会越来越吸引人。主角 Haseo 最初的性格可能并不讨人喜欢，但后期的角色发展一定会令你满意。 游戏最大的优点是演出优秀，人物的面部表情丰富且生动，故事体验非常好。至于战斗系统，设计的较为简单，没有太大难度。
