The west never got this title, but I think it would fit wonderfully into a remake of the original four games as bonus content. Since the 25th Anniversary will be in a couple of years, it might be more feasible to try too get these games re-released for the 30th anniversary. Either way, please give these games a chance. There's a dedicated fan community keeping this game alive.

i mean lets be honest this game just has the coolest lore/concept and the fact that you can acutally play the game as a real mmo making your own character. so much could of came from this if they just kept wanting to try but ig money talks..
I never got to play this title, as the US never saw a proper release, but, having played IMOQ, and recently, GU, I would love to experience this game for the first time, as well as continue to share the world of .Hack// with my viewers.

.hack// always made the online gaming world seem like such a magical place. I was excited to learn they made an online version of "The World" in this edition of .hack//Fragment. It never made it to the USA, so I would absolutely love to see this preserved and playable. I want to get in and explore!

This would probably gather a very niche crowd, but released along side I.M.O.Q. (Original 4 games) with a server for multiplayer, this would probably encourage a small spark of curiosity for folks to explore. The music, the artwork, the mysteries of "The World", but this time with you being able to create a character and meet characters throughout the franchise to party up for leveling. The character creator is a little limited in some aspects, but wide options and alternate character friendly. With the multiplayer, it plays like it normally does in offline mode/solo like in the originals, except the game doesn't pause when using the menus and you can equip skills to quick buttons, makings the "classic" combat a little more fluid. Would be fun to play the game with others, see who they create, the adventures they go on, and the memories they share while playing "The World". :D

Love to see this properly translated by someone with a mind for creative writing and some quality of life mechanics to help the game thrive for past, current and future players who might be interested in this title.
This was a neat change from the original .hack//Infection Mutation Outbreak Quarantine game. It uses the same exact game engine but with improvements. Such as the most complaint pausing the game to do anything has been fixed with the shortcut feature. It comes with a story available in the offline game mode. Your character is transferrable between offline and online. You can create up to 3 characters from any of the 6 classes. But the real appeal of this game is the online mode. You can play up to 3 players per run, it's not a true MMO but more of an instanced online party. If all 3 of you and your team mates are wearing equipment that have "Awakening Skills" you can do powerful attacks. You can create your own guild or be invited to an existing one. Players can trade items one on one or sell items through your guild shop. Players can post public messages on the BBS or private in the mailer. And if you are really fortunate you can run into event NPC's online on specific days to run challenging dungeons. And the rarest of chance in running into an online boss called The One Sin, known lore wise how Balmung got his wings. Other features sees the return of grunties which can be raised in offline mode and be used in fields in online mode. There's much to do and the grind is real. Even if the game doesn't end up on GOG's published games, there's always the fan made server (more info at dothack.org/articles/fragment) to play this game today until they day we officially see this game available for everyone.

I never played this game. But, I played the original 4 .//Hack games on the PS2.... I think that, a remake/port of those games being made along with this, a game that never came to the west. Would be an amazing thing for .//Hack fans.
Those games also need your vote!

Wolfenstein RPG
Wolfenstein RPGWolfenstein RPG is a first-person shooter and role-playing video game developed by id Software and Fountainhead Entertainment, released in September 2008 for mobile phones and in May 2009 for iOS. In 2013 the game was removed from App Store. The gameplay follows the recipe from Doom RPG as it is shown in the first person while being a turn-based role-playing game rather than a shooter and puts emphasis on the plot. Combat and movement are turn-based, allowing the player time to select their responses in combat. The player turns at 90 degree angles and moves space by space. One step or action by the player allows all other characters in the area to take one step or action themselves. The game takes advantage of its deliberately slow pace, encouraging players to take their time and check out every little corner, read the books on every bookshelf, and destroy all the furniture to see if anything is hidden within. Levels include underground passages and weapon development laboratories plus a level involving a moving vehicle. The game also includes two mini games: the card game War as well as Chicken Kicking, where the player is awarded points for kicking a chicken into a score area.

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
