Jade Empire

What did you think?
I beat it, 13 hours 15 minutes exactly.
Checked out 2 endings, not sure how many more there were.
The game was really fun, side mini games reminded me of a arcade machine, which is good.
The game was short IMO. I mean, I did ALOT of side quests, and unlocked well over half the mini games. 13 hours wasnt as long as what I expected.
I beat it in a rental

Re: Jade Empire

13 hours for an RPG seems pretty poor to me. My first playthrough of KOTOR = 86 hours!

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!


anyway, now that I've recovered from my stroke: Jade Empire sounds good, but OAXM said that side quests aside it would take at least 30 hours to complete...

alienated, are you sure you didn't rush through!? You have to SAVOUR the experience

Re: Jade Empire

13 hours?!? That's kind of short, guess I'll wait for a nice price drop before I buy it.

Re: Jade Empire

I didnt INTENTIONALLY rush through, I did alot of side quests, and beat the game as a level 20+ character, lots of styles and weapons. The game itself was great, but short. Starwars KORTOR took 36 hours for me to beat, give you a idea of how i dont skip all the sidequests.
Fable took 11 hours, and i did every quest

Re: Jade Empire

There's a whole lot of different quests to do, that possibly you didn't. I finished in a little over 22 hours. The game goes a lot faster if you play it on an easy difficulty setting or abuse the "I win" buttons (certain styles so powerful they literally remove all challenge from combat). My second playthrough I'm playing on Grand Master difficulty, not abusing any broken styles and inching through the game relishing the combat engine. It's been 26 hours and I just got to chapter 3. It's all about how you play the game.

Re: Jade Empire

It's not that bad when you think about the fact that it's twice as long as Fable.

Re: Jade Empire

i woulnt compair it to Fable, totally diffrent, compare it to KOTOR.
the "i win" "y" button makes it so easy to defeat any boss, and it lasts quite awile. I wouldnt say i abused it, i beat the first half before even starting to use it.

Every game should have an I Win button...

Re: Jade Empire

so is the combat in the game real time? or is it like kotor? How would you rate it against kotor?
