.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 💙
.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.
//Outbreak dramatically increases the tension, conflict, and difficulty from the previous two installments. Grueling fights with a variety of bosses bring the player to the .hack franchise's own iconic "Aeris dies" moment, with the characters sharing in the player's emotional turmoil. What would you do if the entire world's online infrastructure was under threat by a rogue AI? It's time to play //Outbreak and find out.
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

Legacy of Kain: Dead SunLegacy of Kain: Dead Sun was a cancelled action-adventure video game developed by Climax Studios for Square Enix Europe, with an accompanying multiplayer component developed separately by Psyonix. Leaks described Dead Sun as a story-based action-adventure inspired by Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver (1999) (the second installment in the series) and Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda. The game featured an open world, and combined cinematic, violent combat with dungeon crawls, puzzles, and boss encounters. Links to past Legacy of Kain entries figured into the design, such as the shifting mechanic of the Soul Reaver titles, which enabled players to alternate between two planes of existence.Horror
