I've heard a thing or two about them. Aren't they like dungeon crawlers or something? You go through various stages looking for equipment and stuff to better your character. I'm probably missing the mark pretty badly.

Describe how they go. I had always wanted to try one to see how it was but I never got around.

I played the first couple (Infection and Mutation) and they weren't bad. A bit repetitive, but still enjoyable.

I've surprisingly never even heard of .hack games, probably cause I haven't seen anything about it on a website, don't hear from friends about it, and I haven't seen any of the games in stores.

._.

If anyone has more information about it, feel free to fill me in.

They're pretty old now and they were on the PS2. Like Amnesia said, I heard they were a bit repetitive but enjoyable if you don't mind.

Well its about this online game and this virus called AIDA infects everything. This guy literally sacrifices himself into one attack and defeats the virus but when he kills it he made a big-ass monster. They fight the monster and win and stuff...happy ending...But all you do is run through some areas kill stuff and fight a boss...good stroyline tho

Yeah, it's a game about a game. If they made a new one (which they probably won't) I'd definitely check into it. It's been too long now so I don't know. I remember watching some of the anime so when I heard about the game I wondered how it worked.

What was the best thing about the game?

Cinematics should be cool in an RPG, it enhances th quality.

Did all the games have suckish graphics or just some of them? Which one was your favorite? Sorry for asking so much.

Yeah, the anime was pretty good but I could never see the endings for some reason. I always miss the final episodes, unintentionally, and I have to wonder what happens.

Not all use Wiki because it's not 100% accurate with some information since anyone can edit info on there, but usually information related to gaming is fine, I have no problems with it anyway.

I have.. I was addicted when it first came out. I loved the story, the characters and just the overall feel of immersion they put into it.. when you play, they try their hardest to get you to believe you're playing an actual MMO. And I would have finished the entire series if I had the moneys back then.

I thought about getting the game one time, but I didn't know if it was good or not

I thought about it too, but I was unsure if it was worth it compared to a number of other games.
