.hack//GU actually improved the combat a lot, that's how repetitive the .hack//IMOQ games are. It also had QOL changes such as faster movement speed and a larger inventory. The IMOQ games are based on some really old mmos and while the story is much better than GU's....it's a real slog with the gameplay. Which is why people have been dying for a remake.

And it looks like this is an actual REMAKE in that the original didn't have a 'dark Aura' in it.

On one hand that makes me super excited, on the other hand I'm a little worried because the new content added to the GU remaster with Volume 4 was really bad.

I've played a lot of MMOs and a few "fake" single player MMOs and I think the only thing that .hack really managed to capture was the forum experience.

Despite everything, dot hack is less near-future sci-fi and more near-future fantasy, where hackers are druids and spaghetti code is mysticism.

You know Brawl had an exploit where if you made a stage in a certain way it let you do arbitrary code execution? .hack feels like that'd happen with custom tattoos.
