hmm, i heard something about a "silver" and "gold" (no, not the pokemon games, lol) access or something like that... the silver was supposed to already come with the xbox 360 when you got it, and gave you limited online play for free, where the gold package gave you a lot more, but charged you for it. i dunno, i think i got this info back in an old game informer mag or something, i could be completely wrong. =/

from what i read online and in magazines,Silver gets you online access so you can download content for your games,patches,etc...but does not let you PLAY games online.

Gold lets you actually play games online,plus everything else,but you have to pay for Gold.

i see... thanks for clearing that up for me. do you know how much they charge for this service? also, what would i need to play PSU online on ps2? just trying to get a comparison here so i can figure out which console i want it on...

i'm not sure offhand...I think my buddy said a 6 month Gold plan was around $60...i may be wrong.Microsoft or Gamefaqs may have more info on this for you.

With PS2 i belive you need the Network Adaptor...if you have the Hard Drive,that could optionally decrease load times,i've heard it decreased load times in Res Evil Outbreak alot.

I don't know much about online-console gaming,but i hope this helps somehow.,.

ok, thanks a lot for your help, importgamer! one more question, though - is PSU scheduled to come out for PC yet? right now, all i've heard is ps2 and xbox 360.

From what i heard the plan all along was PC and PS2..the 360 version was only announced VERY recently....so it looks like it will be on 3 platforms.PC,PS2 and Xbox 360.

Gald i could help. ^_^

Today I had Lita Kino smacking some enemies with her Twin Brand...lol
She took out Olga Flow on Normal (She's at level 84),and then smacked around Vol Opt on Very Hard for a bit.She has access to Ultimate difficulty,but hasn't got much farther after beating Sil Dragon on Ep.1...

When I had my level 54 Fonewm I took out Sil Dragon like he was a chump.

i hear that....if played right,Force characters can be downright badass!
Even though i've been playing PSO for quite a long time,and know alot of stuff about it,i'm not an expert at the game,so i have to do what i can and proceed after i've leveled up enough to take out each boss.PSO is still quite a fun game,though!

ROMate · « **Reply #50 on:** June 18, 2006, 10:37:09 am »

My brother and I are thoroughly convinced that, at the top of the game (level 60+) Forces are simply too good for the other classes to really hang with them in terms of sheer damage output. I remember playing Very Hard mode and watching my buddies tip toe through the Dragon and De Rol Le, barely surviving the fight, while I walked in, tossed Gibarta and Rafoie around, and had it finished in no time flat.

When i'm in a multiplayer game,i enjoy having a Force on the team,even if i'm playing one of my HUnewearls.I respect the Force's healing/defensive and offensive capabilites,and i think that Forces can contribute really well to a team.

ROMate · « **Reply #52 on:** June 18, 2006, 11:31:46 am »

I'm just tired of everybody trying to hem me into a support only position. I don't get EXP if all I cast is Shifta, Deband, Resta, Anti, and Reverser! I wanna kill stuff!

i know what you mean!...lol...so i make sure when I play a Force i bring along stuff like a Pallasch and some type of Mechguns.

I've gotten so good at Mechguns that no matter which boss I face,level I explore,or which character type i play as,I'm always lugging around a Mechgun type weapon,be it a Gatling or a unique such as Twin Psychogun,i carry a Mechgun weapon at all times.I use them on common enemies and bosses with extreme prejudice...lol

ROMate · « **Reply #54 on:** June 18, 2006, 03:40:42 pm »

The only time I'd ever use a Mechgun is with a HUcaseal, because they have nutty stupid Accuracy and Attack power. I swear, even Rangers can't use the things as well as HUcaseals can.

I must be the 1% of people that can use Mechguns well...get me a pair of Mechguns,and i kick major ass.I also keep some melee weapons with me,as a backup though...

Hunter payload:
Some Mechgun type
Pallasch
Double Saber,Photon Claw or Dragon Slayer

Ranger payload:
Some Mechgun type
Pallasch
A Rifle type,maybe a Shadow Sniper or a Visk,on occassion a Spread Needle shotgun

Force payload:
Some Mechgun type
Pallasch
Hildebear's cane or Talis
A shitload of Difluids,etc...

(Though if i'm playing my RAmar,Mr.Freeze,all i need is a Mechgun type and his Frozen Shooter.'Nuff said....lol)

ROMate · « **Reply #56 on:** June 18, 2006, 04:11:43 pm »

For Forces I just keep a wand on me at all times. The bigger my MST, the better off I am. It means more TP and more power in my spells. Against Vol Opt and Falz, however, I carry a TP-draining gun or Rod. Even though I'm hitting for 0 damage, I'm getting back 15-20 TP per strike, which more than makes up for it.

importgamer13 · « **Reply #57 on:** June 18, 2006, 04:15:21 pm »

yup,with Dark Force/Dark Falz,when you're low level,it's good to have HP/TP stealing weapons.Especially on his 3rd for when you get to Hard setting.When he flashes that odd color,hardly anything will hurt him...Rafoie still hurts him at that time,though...^_^....also,it's a good time to shoot him with either a HP or TP stealing handgun or rifle.

ROMate · « **Reply #58 on:** June 18, 2006, 04:17:06 pm »

Spells seem to hurt him no matter what, so I slap Grants and Resta on the action bar and keep that special attack handy. Even if the physical hits don't hurt, I'm recharging TP for Resta.

I've noticed that when he turns 'invincible' from physical hits in his 3rd form,hardly anything hurts him,though Rafoie still does,so i use that time to use stuff like Mates,Fluids,or a Rafoie or two.Having a Scape Doll helps,also.
