Is it worth playing? Disc is pretty pricey so is the emulation good?

>unskippable and slow text
Nope.
Jordan Gray
Stopped me playing the game.
Zachary Sanders
everything in this game is bad beside some story that begins after 20 hours of bad everything
Caleb Moore
I tried playing it but the combat is just so ass.
Matthew Cook
Yes, it's a classic. The flaws are a feature.
Asher Miller
I bought it last year for $2. I need to learn mon now or download it.
Ryan Bell
Nah. The game has a pretty strong start but then just gets worse and worse, the story is absolutely retarded and the main character has this infuriating attitude of "I don't want to fight" while doing everything he can to get involved in fights. Like fuck off and make up your mind you cunt.
Christian Myers
i did love it but its like 6 years when i played it
Dominic Turner
Don't you have a chipped PS1 or PS2, or a hacked PSP or PS Vita?
Lucky you, it's usually 500 yens in Bookoff.
Jordan Hill
It’s amazing. Way better than shit like FF or Persona.
Jonathan Hill
First disc is a video game, second disc is a visual novel with maybe 20% of video game lost in there.
Dylan Hill
Ignore the zoomers, Xenogears is the greatest vidya story ever told, especially if you're an /m/fag.
Hudson Nguyen
It's way better than any FF after VII, in fact it should have been FFVIII
Justin Roberts
It's worth it. Visuals are nice with nice sprites and better 3D than you usually see in other PS1 RPGs (at least before the very tail end lifespan games like Koudelka and Vagrant Story)
music is a PS1 JRPG, of course it's fucking good
Combat starts out really boring but gets more fun as you get further and can do bigger combos
story doesn't even really start until like 20 hours in and it's Gainax tier when it does.
Overall really good game though.
Dominic Kelly
I've got a fat ps2 with free mcboot but I don't think burned ps1 games work on it, do they?
Lucas Cruz
Like all PS1 RPGs you're way better off Emulating just so you don't have to play at normal speed.
Dylan Morales
With emulator you can patch in the slow text and make it instant.
Jaxon Brown
I really like the charming blend of 2D sprites and 3D backgrounds.
Jeremiah Wright
What emulator and settings?
Gabriel Morris
Mednafen by way of retroarch's beetleHW core, 8x native res
Thomas Rodriguez
The upscaling sort of clashes with the art direction they were going for. Looks off.
Elijah Cooper
Better question: is Soma Bringer (written solely by Soraya Saga) worth playing?
Ian Wilson
Are there any frameskip/speed up buttons on the psx emulators? This function exists on a psp emu I use and its so handy for rpgs or just any cutscenes I want to speed up
Adrian Cox
At a minimum you should bump it up to 2-4x.
Just look at that book on the stool in 1x. Dreadful.
Nolan Mitchell
>>Are there any frameskip/speed up buttons on the psx emulators?
Of course there is, most bind it to tab by default.
Jaxon Morgan
I agree to that extent. It’s still best played on a CRT imo.
Jason Price
If you have a CRT and the means to output your emulator's picture to it, by all means, better than people who use filters.
Gabriel Anderson
I prefer to play in 4:3 but there is a widescreen hack option that for the most part works pretty well.
Isaiah Thomas
More like most bloated and overwritten story in vidya.
Colton Nguyen
Nah, that's Metal Gear.
Julian Bell
Last I checked, not even MGS4 attempted to squeeze 10,000 years worth of backstory into its narrative.
Christopher Morgan
Last I checked, Xenogears didn't need a built in wiki to make sense of it's narrative.
Nolan Sullivan
>bloated and overwritten story in vidya
That reward goes to the Kiseki/Trails series.
Benjamin Gutierrez
No, but it DID need a built-in PowerPoint presentation!
Asher Watson
God forbid vidya actually try to have interesting stories. Go play an open world game.
Jackson Johnson
Best part of the game honestly, skip all the boring 90's JRPG dungeon crawling and random encounters and just skip to the boss fights.
Disc 2 > Disc 1
Levi Baker
God forbid video games remain video games and have the story and gameplay compliment each other rather than fight over screen time. God forbid a video game actually minds the scope of its own narrative and doesn't devolve into a clusterfuck of cutscenes just to tell it.
