who liked Xenosaga 1 ??

[Sheky]

I hated XS. The only reason I finished the game was because I am a huge XG fan and was hoping the story would pick up. But it didn't. The cutscenes were horridly slow and didn't do anything to advance the plot. Virtually the entire game was strung together by fetch quests which did nothing but waste time and antagonize the player. Where's Shion? Where's Ziggy? Where's Momo? After a while I stop giving a *&$# For a goddamn universe that has giant ass mechs and warp travel you'd figure they'd have a communication pin like in Star Trek, no?

There's absolutely no pay off to the story. Even up till the ending the characters were speaking in cyptic x-filesque double talk. And the silence, o' god I thought I was going to go mad hearing nothing but footsteps for hours on end. Whoever thought that no music in the dungeon was a good idea needs to be shot...twice, and then some. Of course I'll still get Episode II though. I'm a sucker for punishment. Yes, I'm THAT big of a XG fan.
