PGL for Phantasy Star Universe?

[m0nj0]

Yes, I am n00b, and yes this is my first post.

I am looking for friendly, mature, and just plain decent folks to play Phantasy Star Universe with. Does anyone here play the game, and is perhaps interested in starting a pseudo-guild?

I need friends to play with, as all of my current XBL buddies are consumed by GoW and Halo.

Here's to hoping!

Welcome!

Honestly, I have never played this, and am pretty consumed by the bombardment of new games coming out too. However, I think you should give in, and play some GOW, COD3, or RS:V with us. Where else can you use so many acronyms?

Welcome Monjo!

There hasn't been a lot of talk on this game here, but I'm sure some people have it. There's a gamertag list in the Connecting Forum, feel free to check it out and look for some people with the game.

Good Luck!

PS. and I hope you'll join us in other games as well! If you haven't tried them both GoW and RS:V have excellent co-op modes!

I too play a lot of GoW, and a Halo game which I am not supposed to discuss (). However, I need some MMORPG running through my veins. PSU seems to be the only game on XBL right now that can satisfy my need.

I'll check out the connecting forum. Thanks!

No problem, good luck!

GASP! He taunts... that's just not called for!

I have it, but I doubt I'll be subscribing. The single player campaign is enough for me right now.

Have you tried FFXI yet? That's more MMO than PSU.

Poor thing... the only viable option is to let me take this mystery game off of your hands. Wouldn't want you to get burnt out on it so soon!

I haven't yet. How come it got such a piss poor rating at most of the game review sites?

Hehe, not burnt out, yet. I play this game far more than any other game I own. And, well shit, I only get to play 3 different maps and 2 different game types! It's fun, but I need something on the side.

Btw, if any of you are MS employees, PM me.

I was very exited to play this game but one of my buddies rented it and I was not impressed with the first stage which is all that I saw of it. The music made me want to throw myself off a bridge lol. Does the single player get any better after the first stage?

Its basically a PS2 title. The graphics haven't been updated since it arrived in 2002. So asking 360 reviewers to view it next to other 360 titles really hurt it. However, the gameplay is solid enough (as it has been since the game first appeared, though its a little bland compared to current PC MMOs). Another benefit is you can play with PS2 and PC gamers, so there is always a nice crowd (I actually played with a PC guild for a while).


The biggest problem is that it requires a 6 gig installation. It wouldn't be a bad idea to pick up a USB keyboard either. I bought it at launch and played it for a while, but have since retired it. Its 12.95 a month. Most places are now selling it for $30 with a free thirty day trial.

The single player, in my opinion, is worthless and boring. The storyline is bland, and dull. I'd much rather spend my time playing online with other players. I do enjoy the XBL aspect of the game quite a bit.

Nice... Thanks for the explanation. I think I am going to steer clear of FFXII, but I'd love to see future Final Fantasy releases for the 360. I doubt I will have such luck, though.

Man, I played the hell out of PSO back in the Dreamcast era. Loved it. I haven't had the urge to play it since it went to a monthly fee. I would be all over it if it didn't charge that fee. Sorry. Oh yeah, welcome to the site. Enjoy and feel free to shoot me a friend request.

You have to subscribe & pay an additional monthly fee (Other than XBLive fee) to play this online?


I was thinking about getting it but if you have to pay online, FORGET IT!
