I was wondering if PSO (and/or PSO2) would get mentioned. PSO2 is my most played by far. Probably my most consistently played game too. Played off and on since 2012.

I dumped 8k hours into it once it came west within a year and a half but have since stopped. The NGS changeover was so poorly handled that it really hurt my enjoyment of the game significantly.

Yeah I hopped on global and played a bunch but dropped it for a while after I learned that NGS sucks. Been playing it again, just sticking to base PSO2 and popping over to NGS for login bonuses and only the dailies that have the highest reward to clear time ratio. Base game is still great, but the playerbase tanked since there's no new content being made. Ngs has fundamental problems that no amount or quality of content will fix, and it's getting extremely half assed content anyway.

I honestly can't wait until SEGA just drops the game altogether so I can hope that private servers start popping up like Ephinea and a few others did with PSO Blue Burst (which is still active if you're looking for that old school PSO grind).
