I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream Game Review Carton Villian
![]() | Xenosaga John "Creexul" Cable 03/eleven/2003
There is a cutscene a few hours into Xenosaga where the chief character, Shion Uzuki, and her pals are on some salvage ship. She has evidently fabricated dinner, and the crew of wacky clich�due south rave about how the nutrient is and so good, and how they usually take such bad nutrient because at that place are no women on board to cook for them. The captain demands she refill his glass of water. Twice. Shion's friend (who likes her) politely asks to refill his water drinking glass also. She replies with, "I'1000 sorry, I haven't noticed!" He mumbles to himself, "Haven't noticed?" What is this scene virtually? WHO THE FUCK KNOWS!!!!!!!!!!! But more importantly, why do I mention this? Because this is the dead giveaway that this game's story and dialogue were written past someone who simply cannot write. I'grand not sure if that substitution, which ends the specific scene, is supposed to be some sort of comic relief, office of a grapheme arc, or some kind of dear interest. The fact that it doesn't make sense shows the writer is in over his head, dealing with characters and situations he plainly just cannot fucking command. My mentioning of this scene is more significant to the overall game than the scene itself is. That should exist a clue that it's time to give upward your twenty-four hours task as a cocky-important video game plot writer and go sell pencils and string on the street corner, or wash people's windshields at the red lights. Judging by my senses and perception skills, which are advanced light years beyond whatever fan of Xenogears or Xenosaga, they spent more fourth dimension working on the detail of the 12 year old grapheme MOMO'southward panties rather than working on a story that makes sense and isn't and so goddamned preachy all the time. If people aren't having meaningless conversations with each other in this game, they're preaching to each other almost how important it is to respect human rights. This from the country that murdered civilians and cut out our prisoner'southward internal organs and ate them raw at banquets a few decades agone. You get the feeling, fifty-fifty from the "war is so mean and non dainty" sentiments in this game, that the Japanese nevertheless blame us for attacking them in World War 2.
This game hinges entirely upon the writing. The simply part of this game that really resembles a game is when information technology occasionally stops spewing platitudes at yous and lets you wander around a bland corridor area for a while, or fight a few banal battles. So you turn a corner, and there's a very extended cutscene of an manifestly evil character spouting off about how "These Realians are merely toys, I will accident them upward to help me save myself!" So the very sympathetic chief characters scream, "NO, HOW COULD YOU DO THIS, HOW DARE You! YOU ARE Simply Similar AMERICA WHEN PEARL HARBOR ATTACKED OUR FLEET!" Plainly, several people are convinced that, if the story is long, it must be adept no matter what. Note the extremely blowjobby review from Gamespot, which gives the game an 8.1, and and so proceeds to fire off a gigantic and crippling laundry listing of negative comments that, if they were directed at any other game, would have docked the score to most 1.5. Hither's something that Gamespot (and not me) said. Tell me if you recall this seriously makes sense. They mention that the game, as information technology's been admitted past anybody who plays it, has extremely long cutscenes. Gamespot's 8.ane OMG GAME Then Absurd ANIME RULEZ review says that they practise occasionally go boring. So if the entire game is by and large cutscenes, and they get deadening, wouldn't that only brand the game patently old boring? However, I have no problem with the cutscenes beingness long. I have watched movies before. There are no random encounters or interactivity in them, except for rewinding and such. I like movies, especially if they accept a good story. Then if I'1000 playing a game, and information technology has long cutscenes, the aforementioned rule applies. Equally long as it's any good, and then I'll like it. The cutscenes in Xenosaga are not really tiresome, I thought. They're simply really really bad. And again, since the game is fabricated up of them, that doesn't exactly give you a lot left to work with. I volition throw out a few signal scores for the people with brusque attention spans. Graphics: 8They aren't bad, obviously someone with no life beyond creating 3D models of women poured a lot of work into this game. They also had a field twenty-four hour period with everything below the waist, but unfortunately for American gamers, they've disabled the ability to look upwardly the skirts of all the female characters. Just another example of America RUINING the sacred art of Nihon with their puritanical witch hunts.
Some of the furnishings of attacks during boxing are cool though. Some characters throw blossom petals or important looking ancient text at their enemies, or binary code. Seeing this shit fly around when you hit an enemy really degrades the consequence of fucking up some bad guys. The battle effects in this game, while looking good, are absolute overkill. Simply like virtually every unmarried thing in this game, no one was around to tell the programmers and designers just where the fuck to get off. Panties: 10Every female person character in this game wears a skirt, and the designers have indeed created something up that skirt other than some stretched out polygons to block the view. Either they wear that skirt and like it, or they have no skirt and basically article of clothing some kind of skin tight one-piece thong arrange. MOMO panties: 10This will probably be the biggest selling indicate of the unabridged game. Everyone knows the story sucks, but whenever MOMO, the android with the appearance of a 12 year old girl (to sort of disguise her, the game alleges) shows upwards in a cutscene, y'all can usually see her kneel downward and show a flash of bright white, unmistakable panties nether her extremely short skirt, and that volition sell copies more than the story will. If yous play this game at all, y'all literally cannot get abroad from seeing her panties several times. Fifty-fifty in the boxing scenes, when she dies, she does it ass in the air, with a clear behind-the-anxiety view of bright white Elvis-adored cotton panties. The reason this is here is because the game'southward creators (similar nigh anime creators) know there are a lot of pedophiles out there who want to see a 12 twelvemonth old with big cute eyes and a beautiful pert nose being sexualized as much as possible, while having a perfectly skilful excuse for it. In this case, the very transparent "she is an android, non homo" excuse. Save it for the Devil, motherfucker, because the court of Crimes Against Humanity is sentencing you to a quick and painful execution: shot in the confront on the lawn of the White House. Hype: 0 (zero)
They released a lot of weird news about this game, in gild to build interest for it. I remember reading that Xenosaga was planned equally the PS2'south first double-sided DVD disc, information technology was so expansive! Wow!!!!!!!! This was an incredibly weak lie. News reports eventually leaked out that the American version cutting out a scene because of objectionable content, leaving Xenogears fans anxiously frothing at the mouth with rage at the evil Americans destroying the perfect and sacred fine art of Japan. Unfortunately for anybody involved, the scene really was objectionable, featuring a 12 year onetime girl getting her uterus fisted (meet screenshot) by the main villian, in a scene that goes on manner manner longer than it should and besides includes enough moaning and sexual gratification from the villian (actual line: "It feels so good!") to make whatever idiot wonder why they would include this at all. The just thing they have left to hype is the soundtrack, which would include nigh one single 10-second piece of tense music which is repeated literally millions of times in the game during the (apparently) tense parts. Story: 0 (nil)People who think they're buying this for the story patently have no clue what a expert story fifty-fifty is. Most of the plot twists are obvious hours before they are revealed, unless they are from characters that haven't even shown up until a minute earlier. Every single character they effort to make you lot retrieve could be expressionless and testify a minute later live--if you lot accept any of your faculties in order, you'd know that they'd try to laissez passer him off as expressionless and reveal he's alive before anything fifty-fifty happens to that graphic symbol. When you lot come across one character has a special skill that gives him better defense but when a specific character in the game is behind him in battle, you'll know that those two characters will become fast friends earlier THEY even know information technology. Equally usual, there are stinking, fetid heaps of religious references mixed into the story for no reason. That's almost to be expected these days, in the overdone world of Japanese RPGs where anything with any remote corporeality of meaning has to exist named after some kind of biblical reference. You know it, I know it, the American people know it. The depressing matter about these Xeno games is that it is almost always totally misappropriated, so nigh of the references are in there for no reason other than "rockin dude religious references!" value. You could supervene upon all the references to Zeboim and Zohar and Jerusalem with something like Sea Spray flavors. You could exist searching for the aboriginal relic of Cranapple, fighting an ultimate God-like being called Cranberry Cocktail, flying effectually the galaxy in the mysterious and powerful transport, the Cran-grape. It would have basically the same issue on the story, if not outright improving it. Sound: 0 (zero)
The vox interim is horrible. They couldn't find anyone who could speak at to the lowest degree ONE single four-discussion line without fucking it up? I guess non. Music in this game barely exists, virtually of information technology is a few songs repeated over the several endless, listen-numbing hours you sit on your ass playing this peace-time atrocity. Fanbase: 0 (cypher)Some of the creepiest motherfuckers you could ever regret meeting, even if it's on a bulletin lath on the internet. In that location isn't a unmarried brain cell to rub between them, except for the brain cells that control how important they consider themselves. Overall: ten... out of 100,000,000! RLROLFOLEverything right about this game was stolen from FFX. Everything they brought themselves is fucked up across belief, repair, and forgiveness. Everything they thought would be cool in this game is overdone and so fifty-fifty if it's absurd at all, information technology isn't cool after the outset time. Information technology was a good thought to have a game with an epic story that reaches over several games. When they were finished, they were left with a failure on every conceivable level of creative humiliation. When I become to bed at night, I realize how I could accidentally make a ameliorate game in my sleep. In fact, I already have several times. | ![]() |
