Xenosaga: Who's getting it?

farfus · 02-12-2003, 03:26 PM

I am, just ordered it a minute ago from Buyrite.net. Good price for a good game, 39.00 plus shipping brings the total to $48 complete. Think this will be a fun experience, i loved Xenogears, and if this is half the game, it will be fun...

Worst use of LOL ever. Poor little LOL

I read EGMs review. They said the game has cut scenes that are 30 minutes to an hour long. And not just a couple of them either. They said that out of the first 6 hours of the game, only about 2 is actual gameplay.

They did say it evens out by the end, but DAMN.

Well, hey, a nice movie or ten never hurt anybody!! I hated all the movies in FFX, though, i never finished that puppy, or that "favorite ff game of arnolds".

It's an 80 hour adventure...with 30 hours of cut-scenes. Ugh!

Definately me. I absolutely want this game big time.

I'm buying it despite the reviews because I love mech's, RPG's, anime, and long CG cinemas. The only problem is that I won't be able to buy the game until late March.

Xenosaga will be the best RPG game of the year.

I was really excited about Xenosaga until I recently got the March issue of PSM. They gave it a 7/10, so now I not sure if I want the game or not. They gave the same score to Devil May Cry 2, and I was definetly going to get that game. Now I'm leaning towards getting Guilty Gear X2. I loved Street Fighter Alpha 3, and this game looks amazing.

Try not to let the reviewers get to you. The reviewer who reviewed Xenosaga is also the one who rated several of my favorite Dreamcast, Playstation 2, and Xbox games badly. She gave Ico a 7/10 in PSM and Shenmue II a 7.4/10 in OXM. I say try to give the games a chance before judging a review. Their not always right. But, I will say that Guilty Gear X2 is a wonderful game. I'm renting it right now and it's probably the best 2-D fighter I ever played. The game is really, really tough though.

GamePro gave XenoSaga a 4.5 out of 5.0. Screw the reviewers, this is the sequel (or whatever) to Xenogears. My god, that is all you need to know...

its a prequel to xenogears. the first out of what? 5 chapters?
i might pick this game up but only when the price is lower or if i have some sort of rebate.
