I'm on the Good Campaign mission of Minas Tirith...

Azizza painfully thought these words up:
So where are the Epic games now? You know the ones I mean. The games that really drag you in and make you feel a part of the experience. You are saddened when the story goes bad and feel elation when Great acts of heroism happen. So where are the Homeworlds of today, the FF7s, The Wing commander and Freespace games. I have seen nothing recently even close to those. Am I missing something?
In my opinion, FFX started off rough, but by the end of the game, I felt I had a great deal of emotion invested into the story.
I'm really hoping FFXII lives up to FFX.
In my opinion, the more a game, movie, book, whatever makes you feel, no matter what that emotion is, the higher the value of it is. Lashanna fucked around with this message on 02-09-2005 at 01:30 PM.

I agree on all counts. THe only games I really enjoy anymore are the ones like that.

And while I was on the search for "Epic Megagames" I came across this. Enigma fucking rocked.

Except disgust at the purchase.
I'm looking at you Thief 3, Deus Ex 2 and Doom 3. Right at all of you.

Xenosaga 2!!!!
quote:
/dev/null spewed forth this undeniable truth:
I probably should find and play Xenogears and Xenosaga before I think about Xenosaga 2.
I'm not sure if there is really any shared story between Xenogears and Xenosaga (like you'll miss out on stuff in the one without playing the other.) But you're right..I need to go finish up Xenosaga first too!

I played about 4 hours of Xenogears at one point when I rented it. I wouldn't mind actually finishing it, even if it's unrelated.

Vorago had this to say about pies:
I found VtM:Bloodlines did a very good job of getting me into the game, I binged so badly on that thing, heh
Being a Malkavian in that game just bends it over and gives it a shafting. Parts that pissed me off before because I didn't have a high enough Seduction skill or Intimidation skill just fall before my demented mind.
I almost pissed myself over the long-lost turtle bit.

Xenogears is Xenosaga part 7. While you don't have to have played Xenogears to appreciate Xenosaga, you do miss out on some minor things like what exactly the Zohars are, who the little red-haired girl is, things like that. Xenogears is completely worth playing before Xenosaga, even if not necessary.
I sincerely hope that when it comes time to do Xenosaga 7, they overhaul Xenogears, but keep it exactly the same in story and mechanics. Updated graphics would really be all it needs.

[Edit: My memory's a bit rusty, but Xenogears might be part 5 instead, with a total of 7 parts. I do know that Xenogears isn't the final chapter, and that there are, I believe, supposed to be two more that follow it. Also, if you play Xenogears, you can get an insight into what future Xenosaga chapter might entail (like the 'Kim' era).

I believe that Xenogears is part 5 of the 7.
I watched a trailer for it here. (Click on the buttons marked 'Click' oddly enough) I now need a new change of underwear after watching it.

God I love Xenogears
I share these sentiments. Xenogears is quite possibly the best game I have ever played...and it was released unfinished!

Lyinar Ka`Bael had this to say about John Romero:
Have patience, grasshopper. The new Zelda will be among us this year, IIRC.
Actually, though I love the Zelda games, I've never been emotionally attached to Link.
Might be just me, though.

You would be right. The Xeno series is based off a manga and Xenogears was part 5 of it. Xenosaga was the beginning.

Gran Turismo - Moon Over The Castle
It was the theme for GT2. But I never played that.
