Personally I love it... I wrote up a review of it on my website (in the sig) if people dont know what its about... and with my BBA working with it very nicely, i would have to say that I am very happy with it! :)

how about all of you ?

I had the import (multilanguage) and just couldn't get into it. Maybe it's because I have a small amount of patience for console games, but I couldn't even figure out what the hell I was doing. I felt like I was running around in this huge scenario, talking to all these people, not even knowing who I was or who they were or what in the hell I was supposed to be doing.

I got to a lvl 31 HUMar and found out any character wielding a sword will suck because all of the characters with a gun will stand back and let you take the hits while they get the kills because they are able to range shoot. As for the people playing this I haven't played with one person who stole my weapon, didn't revive me, etc (knocks on wood). You must also have a keyboard for this game, as it is almost impossible to play without one (i would know :). If you have a dreamcast and you Like RPG games go get this you won't regret it

mas:
i prefer my sword weilding bizzach... simply because all the guns are quite weak compared to a sword. i agree about the keyboard though.

After clocking in over 25 hours with PSO, I can honestly say that this is one of the greatest games I have ever played. It is fun, it has tons of replay value. Definitely a must buy.

P.S- WHat are your guys names for PSO?

I wish I never bought the game. It is one of the most unexciting, over hyped games ever. I prefer my PC games anyday over PSO.

Welp JSM, it wasnt overhyped, mostly because they hardly hyped it at all. It was atypically quiet in fact, specially for a game with the name of one of the best RPG series in the business. however everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so thanks for sharing!

anyone else?

I'm dying to get this game! (I know, I'm way behind) Riddle me this, if I get the game this weekend, will I be able to play with my friends online immediately or do I have to pimp out my character before I can have any fun?

thanks.

Does anyoen know for sure 100% if this thing will work with a Linksys router, using PPPOE? I've heard mixed messages regarding that...

And you guys who aren't happy with it, wanna part with it for some $? Shoot me your price if you're interested..

never used it with the linksys, but i presume it wouldnt be very hard to setup... you need to the the BBP (broadband passport) though to set up your DC properly for use with the BBA (broadband adapter). setting it up thru my lan was no trouble at all, except i go thru a server, not a router.

Aye, I have the passport, and both Q3A and POD work flawlessly with it, but I've heard that performance with the linksys is "flakey" at best..
