swphreak Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Jade Empire is awesome. My only gripe is in combat, when you're a bit of a distance from your enemy, you can't lunge to him ot hop to him or something. Instead, you walk really slowly towards him. I also think that maybe health or chi should regen slowly out of combat. Other than that, pretty cool. Got it today and put 5 hours in it so far, and I'm still in Chapter 2.

Derc Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Hope to try out this game soon... I view it as KoTOR in Acient China. Use the Chi, Furious Ming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Ginn Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 I heard that besides a somewhat short game. Also that about half of the game was spent actually fighting and the other half was talking to characters. I love the interaction parts of games like in KotOR, but half the game? That could be a little too long winded for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeKatarn Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I like balenced out games, all fighting or mostly fighting just gets BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOREING!

swphreak Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Originally posted by Feanaro I heard that besides a somewhat short game. If 23 hours is short... then our standards sure have increased. I don't know how people say they beat it in 15 hours. unless they're not doing any sidequests and just plow through the game. Also that about half of the game was spent actually fighting and the other half was talking to characters. I love the interaction parts of games like in KotOR, but half the game? That could be a little too long winded for me. Uh... I remember fighting quite a lot in KOTOR... the only difference I see between the two is the real-time combat, which I actually like. Instead of watching, I can control my character. After completing the game as a follower in the way of the closed fist, I think Jade Empire is one of the best games I've ever played. I can't wait for a Jade Empire 2 or a new RPG from Bioware. *runs to complete the game following the way of the open palm* Oh and it could also be rated "M" because of the talks of slave trading, chopping enemies heads off, and other things. Oh and there are topless females, but it's not that big of a deal because they got fur. Remember kids, guns don't kill people, video games do!

LightNinja Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 i know it says that it is xbox only but i hope they release it to PC at least next winter because its ovbious, they would win more money too. I'm not that crazy to buy an XBox just to play one game so i hope they do a pc version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokemaster Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 A PC version will eventually come out, like Fable, and Chronicles of Riddick. All were supposed to be XBOX exclusvie, then a few months after release, they announced a PC version comign out w/ extras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeKatarn Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Ah so they do actually chop peoples heads off? Is it really THAT violent? In a movie I've seen a persons head go lfying off because of a cannon ball, is it just about as bad as that? So are you saying the topless females are animals? Or humans with fur? o_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if you complete a combo, you basically explode them. Frankly, if you're not 18, and your parents are anal about video games, forget about it.

toms Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 Its based on the same Wuxia-kung fu film influences as kill bill, so its hardly surprising that it's violent. As for gameplay length, as I understand it it's similar to KOTOR in terms of the amount of content, but they have made the combat faster and taken out a lot of the micromanagement of things like inventories and items. Which is why it plays through quicker. Personally, with freeform games like Deus Ex, KOTOR, fable etc... I actually prefer it if they aren't too long. Cos I usually want to play through them again in a different way, and i'm not going to do that if it is going to take another 20 or 30 hours. But those games i've listed are about the only ones with any real freedom of plot, so they are about the only ones i'd play through more than once.
