>not even the actual trilogy
>just a port of an old mobile game
What the fuck? Is Namco really that devilish?
Same with Square, why the fuck won’t they just let people port th Xeno games
There’s a massive market for them because of Xenoblade, even if it’s just switch secondaries wanting more titles

Hell yes more old xeno games are never unwelcome if it's around 5 bucks i will buy it even if i dont speak moonrunes just in case we ever get a patch. might be worth trying to play with ocr.

Except for a few games, PS2 games are great on PS3 if you have one. I just played all of the Ape Escapes and had a blast. Xenosaga also runs really well on it, and its PS1 emulation is very accurate too.

>Should I play Xenogears before I play this?
Yes every xeno game is great, they are cursed to be fucked over by the publisher xenosaga was planned to be 6 games and deserved them all but what we got is still great also play gears (rip budget half way through) and blade1 and 2.

>So the only real silver lining is that maybe, potentially one day namco might consider the possibility of officially rereleasing the xeno games. On an off chance
we all know modern bamco would censor the fuck out of them.

I haven't tried it, but I actually have it on the HDD. I believe it runs great. Ironically some of the only games that run and emulate poorly are the entire Ratchet & Clank series. I've just finished the Sonic games on it, and played some Disaster Report, and Kingdom Hearts 1, and all the Ape Escape games.
They pretty much run like on a real PS2. You'd be surprised how accurate it is, and Ape Escape 2/3 are 60fps and lag in places that also tend to lag on PS2.
It's on a PS3 Slim. Only the very first PS3 had genuine BC and not software emulation. All later PS3's use an emulator called PS2_Netemu and it's the same that the PS2 Classics Vault on PSN uses on PS3. And I believe both input- and sound-latency is extremely low as well. PS5 has worse latency on its PS2 emulation than the PS3 does. Same with PS1 games. And you can hold your ISOs on a NTFS drive, and then the PS3 just copies them over when you pick one. So I have a 2TB drive with over 100 PS2 games on it, and going through the list.

>pied piper
Wasn't that just some shitty mobile game at the time? why the FUCK would you want to play this. And yes I'm a big fan of xenosaga and I'm aware it was the story of ziggy before he got bot'd and the origins of the black testament. Still not worth playing

Not really.
Atlus also ported some shitty Last Bible mobile games to steam via gmode, just like this.
And to this day, they have yet to port any of the classics. Despite having a perfectly functional and in english version of SMT1 trapped in fucking ios. They also have an engine built for dungeon crawlers in PC.
So yeah, this means nothing.

Marriage with Robot Mary Magdalene
>>737052947
It's in english for starters
That said, from what i understand, this game is basically a glorified lore infordunp mesnt to set up Saga 3. So if you are not well deep into the series, i don't there's much worth getting specifically into this one.

It not a translation, but a localization. Retarded troon is behind the project.

Yep, English version was optimized to get a T but not an M from ESRB, NTSC-J was optimized to get a C-15 from CERO but not a D-17.
Both versions are minmaxing what they can get away with in their respective territories to hit the later teenager market without getting the rating that restricts it to adults. Its kinda surprising since so few games bother. Obviously they wanted him threatening with a knife and then having his decapitated head speak, but if you did that You'd end up with an M rated game in the USA and a CERO D-17 in Japan.
