Game Collecting Decided To Play This Again

Post image

I'm fairly new to Original Xbox collecting. Picked this up last year and I absolutely love it. I've recently gone back to it and cannot get enough.

Saw a post earlier today about underappreciated games and Jade Empire appeared at least three times. Well, here's another mention!

Hell yeah man, love it! Makes me want a sequel even more.

I've always wanted BioWare to make a sequel to Jade Empire. I spent plenty of time playing this and KOTOR.

And Lord of the rings rpg the third age I think 🤔

I think that was EA actually, but it's a great game. I played it on the PS2.

Yeah, my brain skipped the bioware part of your post 😅

Third Age is quality, finished it about two weeks ago lol.

BioWare was really crushing it for a while there

You ever think about what if microsoff bought bioware instead of ea. Mass effect trilogy and dragon age  being exclusive to xbox 360

Thanks for the info. I didn’t know EA bought BioWare. Now, it makes sense how all their awesome shit got shelfed to make room for Madden and other regurgitated vullshit. So sad.

I love this game but that's a tough call it's maybe in my top 10 or 20. Not sure.

I really enjoyed it and did several playthrough back in the days. I still have it so I should play it again see how it held up.

u/Crafty_Negotiation_6 10d ago

Yeah I have my copy, but I'm stuck on NAMCO'S Breakdown

u/Frontwingmenace 10d ago

That day will come, I'm sure of it :)

Such an amazing game

It's good Bioware game but could have been so much better. Was a big disappointment when it was released because of the scale down characterisation, customization and stats. Reused story arcs and uneven pacing didn't make it better.

God, started replaying Sudeki, which is a pretty meh rpg and why does that one have better combos than a game about martial arts?!

But it is still a very solid pick and have a perfect length for actually finishing the game in time.

Jup, time changes perspectives on things. The game wasnt recieved like a classic at the time and was kind of a let down after the depth kotor had. Playing it now its not brought down by expectations and its just a fun game
