I only played the .hack//G.U. remake, and I couldn't continue past the second volume. Out of all the games I dropped, this was probably the one I loved the most. It's just so full of a certain PS2-era charm that doesn't exist anymore, and every now and then I get an itch to go give it another try.
Now, the reason I dropped it was because the gameplay loop became too excruciatingly boring, and the fact that I was overleveled all the time didn't help at all. But with the .hack//ZERO announcement I'm actually starting to consider going through the entire series, starting with the IMOQ games. Is this a wise decision, or should I just stick with the G.U. remake? Enlighten me, wise anons!

Great thread so far.
I love the originals. Could never get into G.U., too cheesy shounen style. Each of the 4 originals used to come with a different Liminality OVA. If you play the originals, make sure you watch an OVA per game. They never could tell the "real world" story they wanted to within the game, so that's what the OVAs are. Seems they were talking about being able to do that the way they originally intended on the new zero.

They messed with the balancing in the G.U. remaster, leading to most people being overleveled and the games becoming a complete cakewalk. IMOQ has a better overall story and atmosphere, and you won't find yourself overleveled without some grinding, but at the end of the day the core gameplay is even more repetitive and barebones than G.U.. If you don't enjoy the friend simulator dungeon running at least a little bit, it might be best to just wait for the new game
