MGO expansion pack MEME dated....
Palidi | 8:40 AM on 11.17.2008 5 comments


...in Japan.

Some interesting information comes about from this though. The GENE expansion plus(the one with the extra (character slot) will be discontinued at the time of MEME's release. Replacing it will be a MEME+GENE bundle for the same price(1500 yen/$15 American). There will be a MEME standalone pack for 1200 yen/$12 American, but only those who have GENE already will be able to buy it.

There will be a pre-pay service starting the 18th, where they can get their payments in until the update finally drops on the 25th. Hopefully this will help keep MEME from launching to the same fiasco that GENE did.

Hopefully, we here in America won't have to wait too long after for MEME. If you passed up GENE when it came out, looks like you guys get the good bargain, while us "early adopters" get the shaft. Isn't that how most things go though?

In other news:

Log on to your MGO account between November 25th and December 9th to receive 10,000 free Reward Points. There will also be a lottery to select 30 people world wide to receive 100,000 Reward Points. Visit the MGO site for specifics.

Also, they got some Japanese guy to make instructional vids for MGO. The beginner vids are as you'd expect, and not all that useful except to...well...beginners. The advanced level vids are *gasp* actually useful highlighting the amazingly useful box, "dancing"(as it is known to the MGO community), weapon characteristics, skill maxing, and a few more things.

Seriously, it looks fairly good. MGO seems to be ignored pretty often but despite its shortcomings it can be very fun.

I really like MGO, but getting decent teamwork going was damn near impossible, even with really team oriented skill sets. SOCOM Confrontation doesn't have the same charm or fancy skill setup as MGO, but playing in FNF or SNS has been a ton of fun.

On the fence about an expansion for a game I don't play very often.

Hey, why don't they release this stuff on the PSN? The Konami ID shit sux.

That'd be a good start to fixing this game's problems.

@Trev:

Yeah, thats an issue with the American MGO community. Thats why Japan smoked us in the TGS tournament. I still enjoy it anyhow though.

I miss playing MGO, but there are so many other games I'm focusing on right now that puts it aside. I really want to get back to it during a slow part of the year.

Considering I've just started back at college, I'm unfortunately gonna be away from my PS3 for most of the time. I'll usually be on PSN over the weekend, but not during the week(monday to thursday). So if you send me a PSN friend request, don't feel offended if I don't accept it immediately(or if it times out).

Steam on the other hand...runs on a PC. My laptop goes with me, get mah drift?

Oh, don't even think of sending me an XBLA friend request. I don't have a 360, nor am I in the vicinity of one anymore(I use to be though). It's not that I'll be ignoring your request...it's just that, I can't really accept or deny it either way.
