You have to give credit here to Obsidian and NWN 2 OC. The Trial and the fortress management were quite compelling and a nice change. That's the problem with Biowarian games: you can't really do big things.

+1 ( fortress was very nice change).

And, P.S. JE is an Action RPG... yet... has more role-playing than most so called full fledge RPGs.

I wonder what you consider role-playing (pretending you are a cannibal by sitting next to corpses doesn't count) and more than what "full fledge RPGs" has Jade Expire so much of it because I don't remember any. It all comes down to being good or bad. That's it. Absolutely nothing else.

And, yeah, instead of your typical boring "ZOMG, YUO LIE!!1" maybe you could come with examples...not that you could since there are no examples, but I'd love to see you try.

Wait...here it comes...my crystal ball tells me that Volourn will mention The Arena!

Even good old Secret of Mana took me 30 and it had no cutscenes; same for Secret of Evermore and many other older, simpler console games.
Secret of evermore sucked.

Secret of Mana was so good that it changed my life,I havnt played it in aound 8-10 years and I still remember the music from the first boss fight.

Secret of Mana sucks. The items are gay, the enemies are gay, the characters are gay, and it's all in all pretty gay. I'd rather shoot myself than play through SoM.

If you finished Jade Empire in less than 14 hours then you didn't do all of the quests or go through all of the dialog. The game is much longer than that if you are not purposedly speed-running through it. The club where you can get into all of the arena fights has over an hour of content by itself.

Yeah, look who's talking. Your "OMG! U LIE! LOLZ!" posts smell so much better, like Armani perfume or something... :roll:

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
At least skyway tries to actually take some gameplay examples when bashing Bioware.

You just say "NWN rocks because it sold a lot of copies and because I like it R00fles!", and that's it. Try to actually tell us *why* you like NWN so much, Volly.

That's not true, JarlFrank. Volourn patiently explained why he likes NWN. Dozens of times. You can not blame him for not repeating it the 100th time. He likes NWN, deal with it.

That said, I still think Jade Empire felt short, but in a good way. I didn't mind it was only 13.5 hours for me; I enjoyed these hours and I'll enjoy my Jade Master difficulty run-through too. I would not, however, call it a great RPG; it felt more like a mix between action adventure and RPG to me than a real RPG, but that was cool, I didn't expect old-school dungeon-crawling. Fun diversion.

It's a great engine and has many great modules, and the add-ons are pretty entertaining. Never enjoyed the OC though.
