Story:.Hack//Mutation is the second of a series of four games, titled .hack//Infection, .hack//Mutation, .hack//Outbreak, and .hack//Quarantine, features a "game within a game"; a fictional massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) called The World which does not require the player to connect to the Internet. Players may transfer their characters and data between games in the series. Each game comes with an extra DVD containing an episode of .hack//Liminality, the accompanying original video animation series which details fictional events that occur concurrently with the games.
The games are part of a multimedia franchise called Project .hack which explores the mysterious origins of The World. Set after the events of the anime series .hack//Sign, the games focus on a player named Kite and his quest to discover why some users have become comatose as a result of playing The World. The search evolves into a deeper investigation of The World and its effects on the stability of the Internet.Show more

.hack unfortunately is the unloved middle child of Bandai Namco stuck between Digimon and SAO. The Sequel games from the "second season" of the .hack series were already remade, so it's only right to make these historic gems accessible...especially since the 25th Anniversary will be in a couple of years. Please just give these games a chance.
This was one of the first rpgs I ever played, after pokemon. I fell in love with the world, the characters, the level grind, all of it. the .hack series has always had a special place in my heart and I've been dying to be able to play them updated for pc. In these uncertain times, this game would bring a real spark of joy to my life.
.hack//IMOQ is probably my favourite set of PS2 games and one of my favourite franchises to this date. The old MMO aesthetic of the four/five games is a relic of a bygone era of gaming, with oldstyle menus to flip through, different and elemental areas to test your strength, quests for rare items and volume exclusive companions, and loads of NPCs to both trade with. I would love to see this game be available on GOG 💙
My human and I played all these games on stream, trying to preserve the experience as best we could. I'd love for our streams to not be the end of this game's story. It's well worth playing and absolutely holds up after all these years.
.Hack// Had such an intriguing story, that spanned various media, including videogames, anime, manga, and light novels. Unfortunately, .Hack// and it's story have been burried thanks to Bandai heavily promoting Sword Art Online. .Hack//IMOQ was one of the first games to really pique my interest in both anime and gaming! Now, as a streamer, I would love to show these games some love, and share these 4 games with my audience, because the series means that much to me, as i am unable to setup an emulator to play these games! Yes, it is a typical grindy RPG, but I found the story quite phenomenal, and still do to this day!
The .Hack franchise has always been near and dear to my my heart, from the game's, anime's, and all the mysterious untranslated works from way back when the internet was still in it's infant stages. And it all started with the original tetralogy. I still remember seeing both Infection and Mutation on store shelves at Best Buy, and being somewhere between 6-9 years old, being enamored by the box art. Compared to a majority of the 3D/CG box arts for games at younger kids, I just couldn't take my eyes off of it. Coming on over 2 decades later, I still look back at the visuals and atmosphere, hear the soundtrack, and think about all the memories I had and shared with friends as one of my most valuable treasures in this hobby. And as I know many, including myself, would love nothing more then to be able to go back in time and relive these treasured memories in a way that doesn't involve emulation or paying hundreds of clams for the whole series. Despite what anyone may or may not think about this game, for preservations sakes alone, at least having this series brought to 1 modern day platform would be yet another massive step forward to preserving the rich and cherished legacy gaming has left behind.
//Mutation is an iconic installment that ramps up the difficulty from the previous game while still easing the player into the story and tension. Having mastered the gameplay fundamentals in the first installment, the player now gets to focus on exploring more of The World and meeting the key characters. Imagine it's 2005 and you know nothing about WoW, but your best friend is a famously hardcore player. Your friend helps you make a new account, and then he is unconscious in the hospital, and the only thing you can think to do is bumble your way through this game to find clues. Now play //Mutation to see what happens next.
I played through the original .hack//Infection and it's sequels Mutation, Outbreak and Quarantine way back when they first dropped. These were the first games to truly be interconnected with each other and gave you a near fully immersive MMO experience without having to go online. They required a great deal of strategy and patience to pull off, which made every victory feel like something you truly accomplished. Each game came with an anime OVA that told the corresponding story to what was happening in the real world, making it worth the money spent on each game. I hope Bandai allows it to be ported to modern consoles and PCs.
one of the most expsive ps2 series the own i would love to paly them but forking over 500 dallors to finshed the quduritilis is jsut not doable for 99 persent of ppl i hoped when we got last record bandai would remaster this many years later no remaster i jsut want to to be palyable do not care if its the orginal
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox

Monster HunterMonster Hunter is an online action-hunting game by CAPCOM for the PlayStation 2 released on March 11th, 2004 in Japan, and September 21st, 2004 in North America. The game is a fantasy hunting simulator filled with many deadly monsters. Like actual hunting, successfully killing or capturing the monsters requires significant strategy, skill and involved resource management. While initially considered a commercial failure, Monster Hunter would go on to become one of CAPCOM's highest selling franchises.
Despite featuring an offline mode, Monster Hunter was primarily an online game. The official servers were shut down on December 31, 2007 in North America and Europe, and July 1, 2011 in Japan. This means that it is now impossible to play online on official CAPCOM servers. Despite this, the game still features a small active community on private servers.Action Fantasy Survival
