  • Great point honestly. I was only writing that comment from the perspective of answering troubleshooting centric questions. Not everyone who browses the internet has the same ability to see though, and while I imagine screen readers have some ability to process images (I’ve never used one so I don’t know specifically), I can only assume that actual text is much easier.

    I know that text for me is much easier than screenshots, cause I’ve adjusted the font size and type in my browser to suit my preferences. Can’t do that for an image.


  • If it’s for textual information, I’m personally a fan of covering all bases. Screenshot, link to site, and quoted relevant text.

    Webpages can change, but screenshots can stop being hosted with no warning and any text in screenshot form can’t easily be copy and pasted. Quoted text is essentially the longterm accessible failsafe. Text in comments tends to last much longer than images or links.








  • Hell yeah, 4U is a great intro to the series. I started with Freedom Unite but it didn’t stick. Played Tri for the wii and that’s what really got me into it (which is weird cause tri is clunky as hell and I think has the least content of any mainline game).

    Never really got into charge blade, but GenU did a lot of favors for my two favorite weapons at the time, great sword and gunlance, and the online bosses are absolutely nuts.

    Rise is probably my favorite gameplay wise, but I prefer the pre-world armor skill system, and I’m not too keen on the Sunbreak endgame grind.

    As far as old titles go, Freedom Unite is very iconic and has a ton of content, but I like portable 3rd way more. The general atmosphere of the areas and town are excellent, and it introduces Zinogre to the game so well. There’s also an english patch floating around for it if you can’t read japanese.


  • Yeah I hopped on global and played a bunch but dropped it for a while after I learned that NGS sucks. Been playing it again, just sticking to base PSO2 and popping over to NGS for login bonuses and only the dailies that have the highest reward to clear time ratio. Base game is still great, but the playerbase tanked since there’s no new content being made. Ngs has fundamental problems that no amount or quality of content will fix, and it’s getting extremely half assed content anyway.

    I honestly can’t wait until SEGA just drops the game altogether so I can hope that private servers start popping up like Ephinea and a few others did with PSO Blue Burst (which is still active if you’re looking for that old school PSO grind).





  • It’s really wild that so many comments in this thread are mocking naive or inneficient ways of doing stuff, without actually giving any info on how to do things better. Or worse, people are spouting niche keyboard shortcuts without giving the context they’re used in, or what those shortcuts even do.
