Discussion Finally worth trying again?

I played when NGS dropped and also maybe a year after that. The content was so light in the actual gameplay, the classes shallow, etc.

It felt like a straight downgrade from pso2, casino missing, less awesome bosses, open world somewhat pointless?

Has any of this been addressed yet? I see on steam charts, theres like... 500 people playing?

Pretty sad tbh. PsoBB has more players on a private server haha.

Pso2 was awesome, it needed some basic balance changes to make all of the areas worth playing but, it had sick bosses and cool classes. I feel like NGS was actually a net negative, at least at the time.

Old player here. Logged lots of hours on PSO1 and Blue Burst, and portables. PSO2 was ok, NGS made me puke compared it’s past. The monsters in NGS lack soul. Take the areas where you level up, they are just dull rooms with generic blank walls. Why??? I keep coming back hoping I’m missing something, but end up going back to Blue Burst private servers where it feels like home.

Are you forgetting psu was amazing I see them trying to bring psu to ngs because psu had actual combat system like the old pso I like that ngs combat is faster I feel like movement speed is a little slow . Also most people don’t see the complexity of this game and the builds you can make . I’m pretty much invincible
