I have been playing this game for about an hour now ... well I don't know if I should say "playing". it seems like every 2 minutes of gameplay I have to sit and watch a cut scene. this is getting annoying!!

I also don't like the setting so far (in france) and the story and enemies are kinda lame. I sure hope this game gets a lil better in the next hour or so of playing/watching ...

Isn't the opening cineman of Xenosaga about an hour and a half long?

Sounds like the original Half Life intro .... while riding the mono rail

It wasn't quite that long but it did take some time to get through.

w00t. Another lazy man's game. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, w00t. Xenosaga, w00t. Xenogears, w00t (I remember almost the entire 2nd CD was cutscene). :D

yea i heard xenosaga is BBAADD from a review i read, as in there is so much watching you do. i dont like rpg's and that is one of the reasons ... too much watching.

anyone else try onimusha 3 yet and think the same as me?

I think that these games are grossly overrated. I played onimusha one after reading good reviews for it and found that it was basically just a graphics demo. It was linear as a game can possibly be and basically just a bit boring. Devil May Cry received good reviews and I rented that. Exact same thing.There just isn't much to these games in terms of depth.
