um....no. I've played the Xenosaga series and they have TERRIBLY told stories that kill the momentum of the narratives with cutscenes that go on and on and on and on. It doesn't help that most of the playable cast is essentially pointless, including the heroine Shion (who is one of the most selfish, bratty, unlikable heroines I have EVER seen). No where near its spiritual predecessor Xenogears that had an interesting cast (Fei and Elly especially) that had complex arcs and a legitimately epic plot. Say what you will about Other M, it at least had the decency to keep its story relatively simple despite having a bad case of telling and not showing and having long scenes near the end of the plot. Sad part is, as mixed as that narrative was Samus is still more interesting than 90% of gaming heroines and the plot is better than 90% of videogame plots (looking at you Third Birthday, FFXIII, FFXII, and MGS4) |
I think the story of Xenosaga was quite awesome. Did you played all 3? I also liked how it was told.There was a lot of details and backstory. Though, I cannot give you my opinion about Metroid the other M since I didnt played it.
