Agreed. You have to explore all of the books and stuff so you can get an idea about all the connections they make between all the different games, books, anime, manga, etc. If you look at some of the character profiles on .hack wiki, you'd be surprised how many of them show up in different .hack series' other than the one they originally appeared in. Most of the fun for me is to figure out all this stuff.
