i wasnt a big fan if it to be honest. it wasnt terrible...it was just a bit meh. not up to biowares usual high standards imho.
the idea was great but the execution was just lacking imho. when i think of it, it feels like the guys at bioware did loads and loads of research into chinese culture, history and mythology for years and then 6 months before release...they realised they actually had to make a game.
if ure a fan of bioware games and have all there other ones then pick it up. but id recommend picking up KOTOR, ME and their older games like baldurs gate if u dont have them before id pick up jade empire.What can you tell me about Jade Empire?
Same as above...not as good as other Bioware games....but still a must play
The game bases its combat around an arcade punch-as-quickly-as-possible until-enemy-health-is-naught system which is not appealing for an RPG...if anything it's one of those DREADED hybrids (in this case an action fighter roleplayer). The world is quite bland, with invisible walls or just walls in quite a lot of places. I couldn't take the game seriously and stopped playing quite early on (I roast myself for stopping to play RPGs after only a few hours in because almost 99% of RPGs are late starters where the story and nuts really kick in half way through) but this game is just beyond my patience. There is a hint and perhaps great scope for an expansive story so that might be a drive, but anything in between (the action, gritty stuff) is lacking. Having completed both Kotors numerous times and beat the Witcher...numerous times, I sometimes try to bring myself back to try the game again, but sadly after a mere couple of minutes of play I'm bored sadly. My honest opinion would be yes, take it (not necessarily buying it because it could prove to be a waste of money). If you find it in a bargain bin for mere pennies then absolutely. I just cannot bring myself to recommend it, it lacks the spark that Kotor and The Witcher (modernish RPGs) have.
[QUOTE=''xAngels_Assasin'']Topic , is it any good whats ur opinion of it?[/QUOTE]Unlike others that have posted, I loved it. If you enjoy a good story, kung-fu and a magical, ancient Chinese setting, I definitely recommend Jade Empire. I agree that the combat is kind of silly. It's fun to watch. And it's fun to whip out crazy martial-arts/magic moves on opponents to a point...but honestly, there's not really much strategy in the game's combat. You pretty much just end up clicking frantically to eliminate the bad people (and spirits). Still, if you can live with the combat and if you have played and enjoyed KotoR, then you should enjoy Jade Empire.
A quick breakdown as I saw the game.The plus:
- Graphics are solid enough to help create a believable world.
- Chinese lore and setting are a great change of pace from the usual western RPG.
- Martial arts combat is right out the the movies.
- 3 romance possiblities
- Decent story
- There is a reason those martial arts movies are not combat from beginning to end. It gets boring after awhile.
- 2 of the romance characters are stereotypes and shallow.
- The game's console roots are showing.
- The whole experience feels shallow.
Quite good.
I enjoyed the music, story, writing, and art a lot. But like with every single Bioware game, the gameplay itself was very shallow. In KOTOR, you can beat the game by just mashing Flurry over and over (I'm not kidding, I did this). In Jade Empire, enemies are all fodder, there's no challenge. This is why I think Bioware needs to get out of the game industry and start writing books or making movies. They don't make good games.
i couldnt like it... its just boring imo...i started 2-3 times and couldnt even pass 1/10 part of the game... and its not something like rpg, its really not
I enjoyed the game alot. Try it out, after all it's a bioware game what can go wrong?
Story - Ok, Characters - Ok, World/Exploration/locations - above average
What made the game a tad bit unenjoyable was the fact that the combat was very simple and repetitive - just block and attack
I found the game to be pretty enjoyable. Not as good as IGN says (9.9), but it's definitely great.
lol ign says 9.9?
anyway unlike kotor games its not that good and the map? what map you can go between a city and a village... there some other paths there that lead the story overall apart form character creation everything else is linear, mass effect is much more.
What i liked in the game was the action gameplay control the chi and the moves.. and some characters you could creat... there are some magic fighting styles, very cool such as stone arms and legs, or throwing fireballs from your hands... epic music
the bad? short linear.. not much of replay.. linear..ehmm linear( you get the point) id say about an 8 max... but if you gave fable a 9 i think this game will get either an 8.5 a 9 or a 10 from you :)
