I replayed the hell out of the remake and it wasn't the same. I'd kill to experience this for the first time again. This is my favorite game series hands-down.
i disagree. i mean the first dot hack games where awesome ....the g.u trilogy is just a whiny guy in tight leather screaming.....im ashamed to say i know this because i played the games hoping they would get better XD but they dont. could it have worked? yes. the fighting mechanics of it were ok. did they ruin it with a very bad story line and 100000 fetch quests ....yeah XD yeah they did lol
@@bladoodyscabloody1143 well the games are gems that didn't show us their real value, what I mean is that the games had all the potential to be better than IMOQ, however points like lack of good narration and rush of plots made this games feel incomplete.
Here's to one of the greatest anime/manga/game series of all time! The games may no longer be the same, but it was a great ride, the thrill of fighting the phases of Morgana from the first 4, the incredible story behind it also. The troubles of a young man wanting to help his friend and get revenge only to find something more than he hoped for, along with the changing of his personality and it's great story. May they be forever remembered in our lives and the next!
The G.U series was my all time favorite of the .Hack saga. I fell in love with the storyline and the characters and would LOVE to see more of them, especially haseo and atoli.
I love how this is a remix of gentle hands, a song that to this day makes me tear up. But there isn't a single shred of sadness in this rendition, the memories are still there, the wounds have left their scars. But what's left isn't pain, just the determination to keep others from ever feeling that same pain Haseo went through.
the music, the animation, the story...everything is beyond the bounds of incredibly amazing. I love .Hack//G.U. as well as the movie and Roots. The best of all of the .Hack//'s in my opinion. I can't stop listening to either of these songs, they're perfect in every way.
Add Xenoblade chronicles on to that this, honestly this was the xenoblade chronicles of the ps2 era. An overall amazing game with great music, even better voice acting and a badass concept.
ANime cna teach you a lot of things.it can teach you to vlaue others,yourself,and that a strong will always wins in the end,even if the outcome may not be entielry pleasent.
Haseo apart from possessing an Xth form that literally with that already would make shit kirito, has SKEITH and the data drain that also gave Aura, is very broken. LOL
one of my all time favorite anime,manga,and most of all video game will always be my number 1 game and the music is so awsome mostly relaxing to me at least but awsome at that!!!!!
I wouldn't go that far. You never know what'll come. But up until now, it's surely on my toplist as well. And I guess it's gonna stay there for some time longer.
Just watched Hack Quantum and wow! Where has this been all this time lol. To bad it was only a 3 eps OVA though. It was just starting to get interesting. Anyways haven't seen this one yet though have to check it out.
Sorry, Kirito. Asuna. Whoever else there is in your ecchi nabe but I would rather risk being the next vessel of Macha the Temptress for my unrequitted love towards the dot hack series. UNREQUITTED BECAUSE Cyberconnect2 never made anymore new .hack series because your series was created!
would have been classic if I'd checked out a death-note ost just then to read this and write..."shockāhœ!" too bad I didn't feel like it -_- *roars in this lil sewer opening
actually they Did make 2 new games after GU but never came out of Japan, ".hack//LINK" (sorta a series Crossover conglomeration in the style of ProjectXZone but any&everything .hack from teh first Manga to end of GU and it's manga.) it was for the Sony PSP (playable on the PSP1000(JP) 1001 (international only w/ CFW ) and .hack//VERSUS (was bundled w. that OVA-Movie and was for the PS3, it's a Fighter w/ various famous characters from each series in the franchise upto the end of //LINK for GU Chars like Ovan, Haseo they use thier end-forms (ovan's AIDA-ARM unlocke din his Special Mode and haseo transforms to his "Xth" form in his Special, and Yes Kite's in it but has Some "Azure Kite" Moves (there may/maynot be Azute Kite in it too. my PC is way too potato to run it past 12fps in the PS3 Emulator) Kite will have Azure's Blue Flames Mode which increases his Attack damage and Speed for a short time, and Does have Data Drain. any GU Character is temp-turned into a Chim-Chim and takes a flat 25% of health of dmg) there IS an untitled Project in the works from CyberConnect2 at the time they gave us the English trailer some months ago that only bares the .hack project name so either A: its IMOQ's remastering possibly? or something entirely New.
- The fighting is heavily based on “switching”, meaning to jump back and forth while waiting for your attacks to cool down and allowing your team mates to storm in without you standing in their way. This makes each battle to feel silly for being based too much on tag in and tag out of battle.
- Every single problem in the game is based on the exact same thing. Not being able to use of crystals. There are crystals to teleport or heal and if for any reason they can’t use them, tragedy occurs. It becomes predictable early on and so every time someone shows or talks about crystals, get ready for something stupid to happen.
Yes and no The great thing about SAO is that it not all powers, everything they do, can be done in both their avatar & real bodies .Hack the 8 phase are only in "The World" but DO have enough power to harm someone in the real world. I think that SAO has enough depth to the characters to match the .hack characters despite the fact that SAO only has the LT novels and 25 anime episodes as .hack has over 8 games, manga & over 100s of episodes. In truth I Connected to both series & characters
Well, that's true, specially GU's characters. However, if you mean on how well developed they were, I think in both stories the characters were really well done. I find a fatal flaw in SAO, though, and that is they neglected the plot factor in favor of characters. While SAO's plot is incredibly simple and straightforward, .Hack's plots are full of mystery. That's what makes .Hack far superior to SAO, IMO, even though both were pretty enjoyable stories.
well, that's just some person's opinion. If they don't like it, they didn't need to be here writing something bad about it. Whoever this Nakateleeli is, I don't give a damn about his or her opinion. All that matters is that I love .Hack// Roots and G.U. and will continue to do so.
As for not all .hack fans not caring about plot and characters, you haven't seen my brother when he used to just slave over that game and everything about it, while I haven't read manga/novels except for one, I personally loved listening to the plot and understanding the characters, spending some hours looking stuff up to "read deeper" or understand some things/gain additional backstory. It's a good series because it brings back the general theme as .Hack, but it isn't a carbon copy. No space :C
Also, I'll have to take back what I said about SAO. I just watched it recently. For the SAO world, I really like the idea about the floors. Also the no-class system seems quite interestening for me. In terms of setting, I'd still prefer .hack though. And that what would make my decision still fall for .hack. I just prefer it more than the typical fantasy world of SAO.
Considering that the three games each span about 40 hours each, give or take, they actually got quite a lot of the story from the games into the movie. Overall it was good.
actually, dot hack takes place in many settings such as shown in liminality, you don't know all the chapter s and its one big puzzle revolving around an AI named aura that can affect reality along with morganna AI and AIDA, the world aka the game is just her home, you need to pay close attention to dialogue to get clues from the animes, and dot hack has a novel i believe
@HackLiminality Watching the movie I didn't get mad at all. I like the fact that they took different directions but stuck to the same plot. I was a little unset they ignored the recoil effect from the use of Rebirth but I still loved the ending of the movie. (not going to say much more in case of spoiler)
I didn't watched GU Trilogy, since I thought they just took cutscenes from the .hack//GU games. But I never really try to bother myself watching it. I don't know, I seem already satisfied with the game myself.
ive played the first and second hack gu and there is a third one but i was wondering if there is actually a movie?? cuase it would be a really good movie with the animations from the game
i totally agree with you ^^ some anime i watched in dubb (just for laugh) were as good as the original version ( for exemple full metal alchemist dubbed in french was as good that the japanese one the voice were almost the same xD) Still i usually stick to watch the series in its original language ( for exemple avatar the last air bender or ben10 totally sucked in french dubbing and i'd rathr not talk about kim possible dubbed in japanese ^^ sometimes some things are better left untranslated)
Morgana, you need to silence your blatantly biased notions and concentrate on this magnificent music, comprehend how marvelous the series is, and discuss the good points.
2. The game is dangerous because their bodies cannot be kept alive in a hospital forever, and if they just sit there and don't do anything, they spent their entire lives in the game, away from their families and friends. 3. Kirito - Main Character, was the Best Beta Tester with the highest reaction speed (gives ability to dual wield), he was able to use his knowledge to level up fast and over the course of the years (their time in SAO was 2-3 Yrs) became one of the best players, And no space :C
Supposedly, he really didn't make it up too far into the game, and using prior knowledge of mob attacks isn't really as big a deal as its made out to be, without it, many more people would've died since they lost their commander. I don't remember his specifically hunting people who are cheating, other then when he hunted for people who are dying inside towns (which lets anyone in the game die where they should be safe).
tbh, even though I love .Hack more than I like SAO, I'd be more leaned to play SAO more than "The World." In SAO, they challenged you to clear the 100 floors of Aincrad, but in "The World" there isn't a real objective. So, unless they gave players in "The World" an objective other than "Being the very best" or "Hanging out with friends," which unfortunately is what most MMOs are about, I'd stick with the offline versions.
In a way,yes. I mentioned this in my earlier comments. "It is also a worse variant to .hack, since it is a lot more about catering videogame nerds than exploiting properly its interesting concepts. Seriously, you watch .hack to think about the meaning of life, and then you watch SAO because you play videogames and like to have fun with the gaming terminology." Painful Forest was an event. Heck,Haseo went there to prove his strength. That's not for beating the game.
Part 3, weeeee... Which Game Mechanics, in specific, I know you didnt have space, but do tell. I'm assuming you aren't watching SAO, and only saw the first episode or so, so I'm assuming the mechanics you speak of are abilities/eating, I don't remember the first episode completely, but I believe you were supposed to hold the position you would be in the start the ability, then when you feel the power pulsing, you let the system guide your attacks, I do not remember, so this probably isn't true..
It's 2020 but its gameplay, music, and story is still one of the best for me
Agreed. It's been so long, I had to replay it recently. Currently halfway through Vol. 2
I replayed the hell out of the remake and it wasn't the same. I'd kill to experience this for the first time again.
This is my favorite game series hands-down.
Just rewatched SIGN, this was some good shit
yes
just found d,hock and i am now at the beginning of volume 3 and watched the aniems 2 times
The G.U Trilogy is so underrated. One of the best games ever.
The movie adaptation however wasn't very good for me..
i disagree. i mean the first dot hack games where awesome ....the g.u trilogy is just a whiny guy in tight leather screaming.....im ashamed to say i know this because i played the games hoping they would get better XD but they dont. could it have worked? yes. the fighting mechanics of it were ok. did they ruin it with a very bad story line and 100000 fetch quests ....yeah XD yeah they did lol

agreed
I'll never forget playing these games for the first time man
BRING THIS SERIES BACK
Seriously, someone needs to start a petition to Namco Bandai to re-release this game on HD platforms, digitally or otherwise.
Mazryonh
I did this for my entertainment reporting site, but it didn't really go anywhere. There are fans, but not nearly enough I guess. :/
SaigoSentinel Damn, we can't let the only legacy of this series be an extra costume (Haseo's Xth Form) for a character in Tales of Graces!
Mazryonh just share it over and over until it becomes viral lol
for me a HD release for steam would awesome, similar Final Fantasy franchise
2023 i love this games ost
gonna re download to play this game again

So beautiful. This and Chrono Cross OST are the best in videogames!!!!. So much love, care and talent!!!
Add Xenoblade chronicles on to that this, honestly this was the xenoblade chronicles of the ps2 era. An overall amazing game with great music, even better voice acting and a badass concept.
Well you must be happy with the Chrono Cross remake. All the Bridget memes going around just recently probably had you going.
If I become game developer, definitely wanna do something like this. Damn too good
why if? you SHOULD become, start small now and make us all proud.
nov 3 2017 we go back the "The World" with .hack//GU Last recode oh man i can wait
BIGGEST HYPE EVER!!! THEY HAVE PUT A REMASTERED VERSION OF ALL TRHEE + A NEW SEQUEL ON STEAM
wooo love both songs!!! great movie/anime and game ^^
I absolutely LOVE the movie, and the song was really beautiful. :]
This song gets you to reflect on the time you had with the .hack series *-* Soooo flaaaaah
In my humbled opinion I must 100% agree with you. Star Ocean was amazing as well.
No, it's THE best game ever, and the best anime ever.
thank you i was looking everywhere for this version of yasashii ryoute

As cool as Kirito is, Haseo would still kick his ass without so much as dropping a sweat. He's a player killer killer, after all :)
And Kite would data drain him into oblivion....LOL
Haseo apart from possessing an Xth form that literally with that already would make shit kirito, has SKEITH and the data drain that also gave Aura, is very broken. LOL
haseo can summon a bunch weapons too like gilgamesh
Kirito isn't cool lmfao

theres a movie of hack and 3 series
yup but its still great you must admit. what im trying to find is the song that occured in tri edge- Haseo's battle. Can you help?
that's why it's called "The World R:2".
have you seen .hack//link for psp yet
2. The game is dangerous because their bodies cannot be kept alive in a hospital forever, and if they just sit there and don't do anything, they spent their entire lives in the game, away from their families and friends.

The manga at least but the anime and LN are pretty solid so you should give it a try
what music cd is both on so I can buy plz tell me
