Jade Empire

(1/4) > >>

ScrambledGregs:
I remember being extremely excited for Jade Empire, enough so that I pre-ordered it to go the Limited Edition version. I thoroughly enjoyed the game, beating it in short order, and promptly forgetting its existence. It just seemed kind of 'meh' when I was all done. Unremarkable in the literal sense of the word: not worth remarking about.

UNTIL LAST NIGHT (cue dramatic music)

Drunk and frustrated by Final Fantasy II for the last time, I looked through my game collection for another RPG to take my mind off this cursed thing we call 'the real world.' "Hey, Jade Empire," I thought to myself, "this game was good and I remember very little about it." Turns out once I got past all the expectations and hype, it's just a good little computer-style RPG that isn't so much underrated as it is under discussed. Even if the game can be boiled down to "the Star Wars KOTOR series only set in ancient China with magic and demons and martial arts" I think it was a thankful oasis in the inarguably RPG-lite Xbox lineup.

What say you??

ampersandwitch:
Jesus Christ, I love it.
I don't even know why, I just do.
Something between the score and being a totally badass martial arts master without really trying (a very easy game, all in all) just hits the spot, y'know?
I WAS the line for opening day at my local game store.  Good times.

Blue Kitty:
I remember playing it and thoroughly loving it, even so far as to beat it a few times just to see the different endings

I think it is coming out for PC soon

Storm Rider:
I actually bought it recently because I did not own an X-Box, but I have a 360 and it is backwards compatible. However, I didn't realize you have to download the backwards compatibility software for each game individually and therefore I can't play it since my 360 isn't online right now.

ampersandwitch:
Is it bad that I can never play "evil?"  Somehow, it really hurts me when I kill a kid's father, and just the thought of killing off Chai Ka made me feel queasy.
