PSO=Worse than DRUGS

[SoundMasterLuku]

Not that Pso is a bad game but sometimes I just get sick of it and don't really want to play but everytime I get bored it's like theres a little voice in the back of my head saying saying "play Pso you kno you want to YOU MUST GIVE IN" and I dont really want to but I will give in and play it and "hate it" even more the next time I get done with it. Anyone else have problems like this when they want to take a break from "THE DRUG".


Note To Staff Members:Sry if this is in the wrong place I had not the slightest clue. :S

I know what it is that makes this game so addictive: the red box.

You're playing, and you see the crimson cube spinning on the ground, you get a major burst of adreniline (spelling?), and you go up to the box. If it's a PD you vow that you will continue to hunt until you get what you want; if it's the weapon, then you want to go try it out, which gets you to hunt another thing.

Those red boxes! They're addictive!

I bought Metroid 2 within the first week that it came out, time played: 11:32, and a couple hours of multiplayer. I can't get off PSO!!!!!

PSO seems to be quite similiar to a drug. Maybe its Rare finding, maybe its the fact that it seems so simple that you just want to become the one master and rule the game world with your HUmar, but something makes you come back thats for sure.

Even after corruptions, people continue to go back and start playing again. Maybe they're the people to ask... otherwise you'd better contact SEGA for the antidote

POS must be the most boring game I have ever played, but the most addictive. And when I say that I stand true to the fact PSO will never give 110% (being the game is basede on pure luck) fun as a game such as Halo would. I had the game ever since childhood and hope to play more and more, however, I feel terrible GC isn't anything like DC PSOv2 (which had nearly impossible drops, incredible difficulty, free online, I love that stuff). I hate ST more for making PSO, corruption, $9,865,953 to get online, even if you have a router, you still have to pay $40+9 a month. Which is why I don't know whether to pick the game up or drop it, I only have 400 hours on GC, which is why I reconsider even taking interest in PSO, is it really worth my hours when I could be getting interest in another field?

Well this game is definitely the most playable that I've ever seen. You buy any other game and within 30 hours, you beat it, all done, time to buy another one. With PSO you can have 3,000 hours and not be near finished.

The online does cost too much for all the hacking that's on it. If ST made it hacker/FSOD/corruption free, I'd definitely cough up $9 a month.

Ghost in the machine.

There's this vague image I have of some jedi-type master lurking in the shadows who sometimes shows up to lend a hand in a challenge mode run or in a random game.

The veterans all know him.

That's the ghost - the legend. His/her skills are legendary. His/her TA times are ridiculous. He/she has collected every damn item in the game.

Recognition.

Like the engineer in the bowels of the submarine on the Hans Doldinger masterpiece, Das Boot.

The reason some of us keep coming back in version after version and logging hour after hour collecting this rare, chasing down that egg, improving that TA time, taking yet another character to the 200lvl is that we want, some of us anyway, to be that guy.

We want to be recognized as really good at something.

For some, it's the legit Guld-Milla. For others, it's the documented, witnessed capture and unsealing of the legendary j-sword. For others, it's breaking the magic 2, 3, or 4 hour challenge mode time or posting a time that is truly unbelievable unless honorable veterans provide witness to the fact. That drives some.

For still others, it's the shits and giggles of meeting buddies, drinking beers and yucking it up while you slaughter baddies.

It's that next rare drop, that next level, that next egg, that next TA run.....the next thing.

It's meeting others who like to do the same thing you like to do.

There are so many reasons to like this game and that is what keeps bringing so many of us back to the next version - I currently have four versions and many have more than that.

No other game I have played has kept me coming back like this one has. And no matter how much I have accomplished (using that word lightly), there is always something more that I would like to do.

That is the addictive nature of PSO.

I've completely ignored my poor Soul Calibur II game... ;_;

eevil...tricksy red boxes of DOOM...

Yeah, I find this game pretty addictive. I haven't had any bad experiences since I got the game luckily, so it's all just fun to me. I love playing PSO, but I can quit when need be (though I doubt Karma or Kahn agree with me --_--). I realize now that I have ignored the other games in my meager collection since I got PSO though...My Soul Calibur game is never gonna forgive me..

Soul Calibur, that was the game that helped me to cope with how PSO sucked at the beginning, SC II being a game of instantaneous fun. And I don't have a rouer ($50(, however my friend Todd is willing to pay some of the debts for PSO online. I just get tired of not nailing the drops I want and nailing those I don't want, as wierd as it sounds.

Well said, Sycorax. I guess we all play because we just want to be the best.

That's why alot of hackers don't play the game full-time (except the famous ones). They all get the level 200 characters, the 12 stars, the impossibly amazing stats.... Then they have nothing left to do, because the have it all. Which leaves the only thing for the to do is: FSOD people!
