The game was designed with solo play in mind but later content is much easier if you play with other players. There is matchmaking so you don't need to work about making a party ahead of time.

I posted a comment about the game before here. The game has improved since it launched, but if running around grinding for hours to improve your gear at the endgame doesn't sound appealing then you most likely won't enjoy it still.

SEGA will be implementing Wellbia's anti-cheat program into Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis (pso2.com)

SEGA will be implementing Wellbia's anti-cheat (Xigncode3) into Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis after 11 years of using nProtect GameGuard. They will allow you to choose which anti-cheat to use, but Xigncode3 is known to be more invasive and restrictive on what it allows to run....

They've added more to do but the main gameplay loop still involves running around defeating enemies and getting loot.

  • Since January 2023 they released the 4th region Stia, as as well as story that goes beyond that. The areas that they've added since the 3rd region Kvaris have their own gimmicks to use. They've not released any new regions since then as they said they want to focus on other parts of the game.
  • There's a new Creative Space feature that allows you to build some very impressive stuff.
  • The class level cap is now 75 and they've added a load of class skills for each class as well as handed out buffs.
  • Since launch they added the Braver (Katana & Bow), Bouncer (Jet Boots and Soaring/Dual Blades), Waker (summons familiars with their Harmonizer) and Slayer (Gunblade) classes.
  • Leciel is a quest they added that changes its layout, obtainable buffs and end boss each day. Running it gives you near-endgame augment capsules for your gear.
  • ARKS Rankings are now run weekly and task you with running existing content to get the highest score or best time and place onto a leaderboard. What this content is varies each week, but it can involve defeating a boss quickly, or completing a Trainia dungeon as fast as you can, or racing on hoverboards. The higher you get on the leaderboard the more ranking badges you get which you can spend on cosmetics, some gear and other prizes.
  • Alliances can now compete in weekly rankings by collecting points from completing Alliance Tasks (which also give Alliance Badges). The best Alliances are rewarded with Meseta (the in-game currency).
  • It's not really a feature, but downloading the "PSO2" side of the game is now optional if you play the Steam version. It chops 58GB off the total install size if you don't download it.

There's a load of other features and quests they've added over time that I can't remember off the top of my head. if you haven't played for a long time, I would recommend giving it another try, though pacing yourself is advised.

Valve just pulled a Blizzard and seems to have gotten away with it. (kbin.social)

I find it odd there has been very little noise about this. Like sweet its awesome to see that there is a new Counter strike and the features they are adding seem awesome. People were very angry when Blizzard did this same exact thing, where is the anger right now about this?...

If CS:GO was preserved as a beta version in the game's properties that would be great. Apparently they are doing that now with some sort of replay player version but it's broken?

Even after Roblox dropped the Metaverse label they are using, they still want to be Second Life with dedicated games attached.

Soon it'll be easy to tell if your Steam games support PlayStation controllers (www.vg247.com)

Valve is introducing new indicatiors, and filters, that specifically show which types of controllers are supported by a given game. As it stands, most game pages simply say whether they fully or partially support controllers, but Valve has already begun asking developers to specify which type of controller their games support.

Steamwork Development post regarding this: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamworks/announcements/detail/3684558162504860651

What are your favorite video games that force you to pull out the pen and paper?

Ever since the language puzzle in Tunic that got me to fill up 6 pocket sized pages of notes over multiple days while trying to puzzle it out as I tried to and, eventually, succeeded at translating the in-game “paper” manual, I’ve had a craving for games that force you to pull out a notebook and take notes/puzzle things...

Definitely Fez when you start looking beyond the golden cubes.
