The original script

What does /vr/ think of schizogears

Xenogears is one of Square's greatest video games it has ever produced and one of the greatest RPGs ever made.

Discuss.

So is the whole Solaris situation going on in this game based on Jewish Zionism where the Lambs(Goys) are suppose to be servants to "Gods Chosen people" aka Solaris citizens? Or is it something else in religious mythology but similar?

Just started playing Xenogears for the first time, without looking much into it. Is there ANY point in using "combos"? Why would I not just use the deathblow every turn which is the same as a combo but more damage and doesn't require me to do less damage over multiple rounds...
And is there really any depth with the attack system or is literally just there to give you slightly more interactivity than clicking a single attack on a menu and for the grindy deathblow and combo gimmicks?

I wanna like this but every time I start it up I hate it. I just want to get to the part where I don't have to engage with the dogshit boring battle mechanics and can just enjoy the cool story. What do?

Does anything top it?

Boring ass game

What /vr/ games are you playing these days?

I'm playing Xenogears for the first time and I'm having a blast, it's by far the most technical game I've seen on PS1, full of very complex 3d cutscenes, flawless framerate, the amount of 3d assets in game is staggering.

Is the game/story legitimately good or is it just earthbound fan fag hipsters wanting to be elitist

depends on what constitutes "cut content"

What is this and why should I play it

When does it get good?

Preface: I absolutely love the Xenosaga Trilogy and despise Xenoblade. Except XCX on WiiU I think that's a genuinely great game.

But I am just sitting here WAITING for some of the crazy shit I'm used to from the Xenosaga games to happen and it just never does... I just beat Dominia on the Hecht bomber ship and got Elly in the party hopefully for good now, and so far the entire game has just been "Gebler sided with Aveh and attacked Kislev then we tried to take back Aveh from Gebler but they said lolno then Gebler attacked Kislev because Grahf's yet unnamed group has been helping Kislev." I just summed up the first 15 hours of this game in one sentence!

Don't spoil anything for me, but tell me that I have things to look forward to please. Xenosaga was full of philosophical ideas regarding transhumanism, Christianity, and was very entertaining with Gnosis being an ever-looming intangible threat, but this game is just "Fei you're special and your Gear is special but fuck you if you think you should know why." Like, WHY did Gebler choose Aveh in the first place, was it because of the Fatima Jasper supposedly leading to the God Gear/Omnigear? Or was it simply because Grahf's group has been helping Kislev behind the scenes? They said multiple times they don't care who's in charge (Bart vs Shakhan) so why are they helping them? Hopefully this is all expounded upon soon because the game is falling way short of my expectations thus far (those set by Xenosaga). Keep replies as spoiler free as possible I want to just know that I should keep playing and it's all gonna pay off and all my questions will be answered.

Pic related and Shenmue are two great examples. Both were supposed to be a longer series. What do you think could have been? Do you have other examples?

So I picked up a copy of Xenogears from a used games shop a while back while I was on vacation and I’ve recently tried playing through it on my ps2. I got through the village and the first gear fight fine but as soon as I encounter an enemy in the Darkmoon Forrest the screen stays black and the music plays endlessly.
After googling it seems like I’m the only one to break down in that specific spot, so I’m guessing it’s due to the scratches on the back of the disc.
I’ve tried wiping them with alcohol, I tried the toothpaste trick, I tried running them on two separate ps1s and it wouldn’t even load.
I really don’t feel like dropping $100 plus for another used copy.
Should I get it refurbished?
Is there a way of not triggering random encounters so I can skip to the next part of the game?
