This is my goddamn journey with this game.
1) Tried to play the Japanese version.
2) Went through too many steps to count to make it run.
3) Made it to login screen
4) It knew I was American.
TRY 1!
September 2012
Then the big gap of fucking 8 years.
MS decides to form a massive deal with Sega in what many thought would be incredible.
Then we remember the goddamn Microsoft Store. The same store that can't function worth a shit!
I remember using something close to this when playing Gotham City Imposters (You had to sign into fucking Microsoft to play this hidden gem)
It was already a gigantic headache.
I am getting warmed up...

The fact that PSO 2 has a 2 star is legit. You can't just launch a game and have problems with the fucking store at said game is getting installed from. The biggest issue is permission issues. You have to go and turn them on to dev mode. DEV mode in Win 10. What kinda chicken bullshit is that? The game doesn't even wanna run from the goddamn store.
Not only this . If it wasn't for the mod community you would not have the PSO2 Tweaker, bless those people that made this amazing tool. Even then it is like a 50% chance of working. Because then you go through a gauntlet of steps to get PS02 tweaker to actually recognize the store, the game and work. I have reinstalled this game now 3 times!
There's no excuse but to bludgeon and murder the shit outta the Microsoft store. With reports this is moving to Steam we can all but dream.
Please now this game is not a 2 star game at all . It is far better than that. And at 8 years Sega is adding more story content than ever. Don't let those jackals take your fun away. This is a mog holly of 72.3 gigs. So you better have the space for this monster of a game. If you get the game to work which I have 3 times, just know there is a learning curve of all the currencies
But if you are a PSO vet you are going to fit right in. As of writing this I believe I read there are 4 million active people on PS02. Duh, you think?
Here are resources if you truly want to play right now. Now that you have gone through almost everyone's same horror story.
Oh and by the way .When the game works. Currently I am a level 13 bouncer. I am enjoying the evolved combat system. I just hope I am feeding my mag currently the right way. Happy Arks to you though for getting to the end here-------
