Shame this'll be the last of the .hack conglomeration, but at the same time... what more can they do? I hope this does justice to the earlier parts of the series.
I don't know whether this will be the last, but then again, if it is, it's probably a good thing. Honestly, GU wasn't exactly the most impressive piece of work when you compare it to SIGN and the first four games. And I definitely wasn't impressed with Haseo's random change of affections from Shino to Atoli. But anyway, point being, I don't want .hack to turn into the American series Survivor, never-ending.
ANYWAY... very true. It's better that they stop now before they turn into a never-ending series that just gets worse and worse.
But... while I must agree that IMOQ and SIGN were much better than GU plot-wise and so forth, GU was still quite enjoyable. And I wasn't impressed with Haseo's change of affections, either, but like I said, I did like the games. They had their problems, but overall they weren't bad. I wished it had tied into the first set more, though, because it just seemed so detached from the feel of the originals (some changes I didn't mind - I liked the new Grunties, for instance, but... ehh...).
I just worry about this game, based on what I've seen of the manga via scanlations. True, the manga and game are (as I read somewhere) supposed to be rather different, but still... I wait with trepidation to see how the plot unfolds.
