Phantasy Star Online 2.
I went through the effort to do the English-language custom patching to the Japanese version of the game on my PC to give it a go and I liked it a lot, but that process intimidates a lot of my other friends that I used to play PSO with, and therefore we always just sit back and hope Sega of America will finally announce a North American release. It never comes. It stings even worse seeing the game continue to do well and have a presence in Sega's Asian region trade show lineups, hearing about all of the franchise crossovers the game goes through, and still feeling like Sega hasn't communicated anything substantial about the possibility of a North American localized release in ages.
PSO was my first online game and I have a massive amount of nostalgic love, and by every indication other than the storyline, it felt like PSO2 was a very worthy, very modern update to it...
It's enough of a feeling that it honestly causes me to hold a pretty strong grudge against Sega. I also kind of feel like Sega might be making the right call, because despite seeming to know a lot of people that would absolutely want to play it and appreciate it, I do think it probably would have a tough time finding widespread commercial appeal... But still, I hate that I still can't play it with my friends.
Also, what is Steins;gate Infinite? Is this lineup announcement first mention of it, or was it announced a while back and I missed it? Love me some S;G...
