Thread: Xenosaga

yeah,that doesn't make you an old fart just more experienced, i have played star ocean an liked the series

I have only played the first one,And i could hardly stand it.I hardly play a thing and got really bored of it due to the damn cut scenes.Now if they just made it a more playable game it could be allot better than it is.

On that aspect of the game i do have to agree with you Koga, I do also agree that having a less cut scenes would make the game better.

Honestly...I couldnt play it after the first one. Yes, I do own all three but its only because I hate to leave series unfinished and the fact that the games were on sale REALLY cheap (Jeez, I wonder why!?) Not that I'm saying that it was horrible but it just doesnt get in my priority gaming pile, they're still on the bottom of the pile after games like Fatal Frame 3, Final Fantasy Xll, and so on.

The graphics were excellent, the music scores werent half bad, storyline was fairly solid...what made it so lousy than!? I'm not sure myself, it just seems to lack the ability to gain focus without putting dozens of hours of gameplay into it. Seriously, it just seems that its hard to stay in it after you watch cutscene after cutscene after cutscene. The only thing that kept me playing the first one was to purchase all the AGWS and the Erde Kaiser parts...now that I watched all the Elde Kaiser series on YouTube the game just lost its flare for me...a shame really.

Compared to Xenogears...well, why even bother comparing them? Xenogears is one of the best RPGs for the PS and still an epic among Square's games.

yes, i do belive your points were accurate and solid. I also played Xenogears, And you list of 'bottom of the pile' the two you mentioned are pretty similar to my pile, lol.

I played Xenosaga 1,and 2. Well actually i'm on my last boss on X2, but i keep dying. Cuz me weak ...i hate trainin.But besides that i think its a pretty cool game.I can't waited to play X3.

Shout out to-Shion!!!

I've played all three games and although I did like the story, I felt that it focused too much on the story and not enough on the game. I could understand some of the cutscenes bein' a little long, but there were way too many cutscenes and they were way too long. Cutscenes aside, Xenosaga I and III were my favs; but I didn' like II all that much. They remove the shops and there were no ways ta enhance ur characters other than some kinda skills, I wasn' too impressed. I know that they were jus' tryin' somethin' new, but as the old sayin' goes "if it isn' broken, why fix it;" they should've jus' stuck wit a sure thing. All in all, they're good games; jus' wished that there was more actual gameplay and less of "Cutscene: The Game," as my friend use ta call it.
