PSU... Better than PSO!?

[Particle Ghost]

for all the fun i've had on pso, psu has provided in the same way, again it boils down to friends for me, socially, psu is even better now :p i just miss the few i left behind on pso.

Exactly. If it hadn't been for the multi-player aspect of PSO, I severely doubt I would've continued playing it. Despite all the 'I art Holier than thou' fanboys that defend the single player to no end, I really found it bored the arse off me most of the time, frankly. Playing with friends however - online or splitscreen - just added something to it. All the banter that flew back and forth in the room from all the kill-stealing, item hording and the inevitable fight that ensues when The Red Box appears. It was just brilliant; it was a laugh.

Perhaps that's what's missing from PSU? It's less personal, maybe.
