Rules: - Rate from 0 to 10 (two decimal places are fine, more than that and I'll round for you). I'd prefer if 5 were an average rather than 7. - You may vote for any games you want that have been rated before at any time. You may also change your vote at any time. - No alts, no joke voting, no “purposeful downvoting” - you all know this. - Please only vote if you've played enough of the game to be able to rate it. - You may nominate as many games as you want on any given day. Multiple noms of the same game aren't necessary. Spreadsheet with prior games/ratings: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0Ap-Cxjhwem1PdFR5Wk1NUkhDX3NmM3NIU1hVaFFZY2c&hl=en_US#gid=0

You've done two of my favorite games in a row. Disc 2 infuriated me the first time through. Played it again and it didn't bother me. Xenogears is such a remarkable point in gaming.

I care more about gameplay in rpgs than most, and Xenogears' battles were just never fun. Admittedly, the story is good, but story can't carry a game for me.
5/10. I'm playing through it again now. The random encounter rate is way the hell too high, the dungeons are all terrible (hi, Tower of Babel), you aren't afforded any freedom, the game is pretty much a straight rail of cutscene-cutscene-awful dungeon-maybe a town if you're lucky, but probably not-cutscene. The story is nice, but that's all it has

Tower of Babel is literally one of the best dungeons in gaming.

You must enjoy platform hopping in your RPGs, in which you can't see where you're jumping due to the camera being awful, random encounters every few steps, those random encounters triggering *in the middle of the platform jumps*, and a falling ledge puzzle near the top of the dungeon just to make certain that you end up slogging through the entire godawful place at least twice

Until today, I've only ever heard how awesome Xenogears is (I voted for it on PSN and will surely pick it up if it wins). I've never seen anybody crying about the second disc before. I guess we'll see if I get to join the club or not if Xenogears goes on sale.

Too bad half the party was forgotten for development. The ones that were got done very well.
