PSU... Better than PSO!?

[Vay]

I honestly find the combat in PSU to be a lot more entertaining than PSO... Try running some S rank missions online and tell me you can just mash one button and win. I'm constantly changing attack patterns, and just because I have Combo 3's availble to me doesn't mean I have to use them each time - I find challenge and take price in managing my PP in my weapons to where they're not all dry at the end of the run, yet I still manage to have a very high damage output.

For example, tonight in the new S rank De Ragnus mission which came out today, the Jumping Beans from RELICS (the hopping things, Golormos or something?)... How I handle those, is I strafe around, lure them into an attack, make them miss, then dart forward to where they will spring back, use combo 1 of Buten Shuren-Zan (dagger) to knock them down, hit normal attack either once or twice for some light damage, then strafe and back off to try to get it to bounce back and line up next to another Golormo, so I can end up hitting two at once with Buten, knocking both down and doing 4 hits to each, then get them in a lock. Combo 2 would just knock them away, and I don't want those enemies getting away from me. All sorts of melee tactics for different types of enemies.

One thing that I've noticed about people who complain about PSU is that they usually only stay in ONE area, running the SAME mission over and over again. Why would you do that? To level up the most efficiently? What ever happened to playing a game for fun, to have fun? GAME? lol, I am at a loss, I don' tknow, I guess it's fine that people play just to be uber, but the whole point of playing just for that purpose is lost on me. I'd much rather experience all the game has to offer, personally.

I think the combat is excellent and exciting in PSU... much better than PSO on Dreamcast (the only one I played), while that combat was addictive, I find that PSU's combat offers more room for personal touch to be added to it... like knocking something down with a 3-hit normal combo with an Axe, then finding another target really quick while switching weapons to Single Saber and Rising strike it away from you, then switching back to the axe and PA'ing the original target down again. The game is what you make of it, really, I guess is what I'm trying to say. *shrug*
