lmao, kind of? the main reason i stopped playing PSO online is that i do not want to pay for dial up. the free shit that i was using doesn't seem to work anymore. my pc-dc server lags like a bitch. also i fucked up my gamecube character so i haven't been on it either.


i should start playing PSO more but it just isnt fun to play as often as it once was :cry:

Yeah i wont argue that. The few times i play nowadays i dont get a 1/100 of fun i just to have playing the same game 5+years ago... But yet i think its a game its still worth playing.

Very few games have that function, it was still experimental.. I can only name that one and planet ring. I dont think sega wanted to use a such immature method for a big game. But today we have skype, ventrilo, teamspeak.. I personally use Skype when i play pso lately. Works like a charm.

Mr Driller and seaman come to mind, though they used the mic to interact with virtual characters not online teammates.

Had no idea about mr driller and forgot about seaman.

And indeed, the fact that the voice goes through the net really complicates the thing.

If it's any support to Next-Gen, my Wii has worked perfectly since April 9th 2008 :mrgreen:

I swear, the Homebrew Channel really makes you use the Wii more.

"Yeah, but regarding this concrete example, its as a matter of fact the worst one. The latest call of duty on wii should have done what sega did with pso/psu. They made a soooo bad game, in order not to spit on the pso franchise, they had the consciousness to change the name. They made a huge piece of crap, but at least its not considered to be part of the series.

Same happens with the title you are mentioning. But activision has a bigger thirst of money than consciousness, so they are stealing money from the people who buy this game because of its name. The REAL call of duty modern warfare 2 is, and that has been proven with sales numbers etc, one of the biggest phenomenon in video game industry. What is on wii has nothing to do with it."
