I was on psow today and I saw this. I felt it to be very deep and I have never realized it, but its true.

Its the timing. PSO is all about the timing. There's a cadence to the game. whether it's the 3-hit combo or dodging a laser, you always play with the beat. The enemies move to it. you attack to it. the delay in the combos is to meet the rythm you always stay with the beat. Which is why a two hit combo which fails to kill is so jarring. The beat makes PSO an rpg. RPG's focus on strategy not power. PSO doesn't really do that. All the strategy is in the timing, using the beat to your advantage. FPS's don't have a beat or strategy which is why they get boring quickly. The reason you love PSO is the same reason you love your favorite song.


Pso is like music I never realised that certain beat to it. Weather it be the intense drums of battle and war, or the calm sereneness of goofing of in the lobby doing animations just chilling. Its the beat of life.
