I'm loving the game and respect the point of the article, but referencing Dragon Age II as being notable for it's better than average graphics? Really?
I'm excited for this! The first game was a lot of fun and sorely overlooked by many people. The comics were cool too of course.
That's not hentai. The author might want to know the definition of a word before he titles an article focusing on that word.
Nice analysis. Game looks frikin awesome.
I totally agree! Can't wait to try it. I normally prefer being a mage but the warrior class shown in the demo was pretty badass. I love how you can slice a whole swath of enemies into bits in one swing with a two-handed sword. I know I'll end up playing as each different class during separate playthroughs. Very excited.
Am I the only one not seeing the patch? Has anyone actually been prompted for this on their game?
@tigertron: Cool thanks. Now I know - and knowing is half the battle. :)
Ah. Good point. I've been holding off on playing the game further until the patch came out since I crashed and lost all saves twice.
Is this confirmed as live for PSN? I just stared up my game and no patch.
My favorite class in the first one was Arcane Warrior combined with Blood Magic. With all your protection, party buff and enemy debuff spells constantly on and using your mana pool you were able to be a near invincible melee type while still being able to throw out crippling attack magic out of your health pool. Brilliant!
@ironcreed: I absolutely agree. I've loved BioWare since KotOR and they've never let me down either. What's amazing to me is that they could be working of ME 3, SW:TOR, DA 2, DA:L and more ME 2 dlc (and please God - Jade Empire 2) while maintaining their phenomenal standard of quality. Their writing staff alone seems to put out a bookstore worth of mythology and history for all of the various worlds we love so much on an annual basis. =)
That's always my favorite too, but from what I've seen they really improved the Rouge to be a very viable and enjoyable class now too. I'm sure I'll try all of them. Can't wait. :)
Edit: I'm not saying rouge wasn't fun before but it seemed like just a variation of warrior. Now it's a completely separate playstyle.
I'm always thrilled to get anything new to add to my ME 2 experience but what I really, REALLY want to know is when will the PS3 corrupted save patch be out? I know I'm probably not the only one that wants to know this too.
DO WANT!! Jade Empire was a fantastic game - I've probably played it 30 times. I'm always disappointed how often it's overlooked when talking about good rpgs. It would be sooooo awesome if BioWare came out with a new one. Jade Empire had my favorite videogame character name ever - Sir Roderick Ponce Von Fontlebottom the Magnificent Bastard, voiced by the legendary John Cleese. He also had my favorite weapon in the game, a blunderbuss named Mirabelle.
I don't think they did. It's not up yet.
I just turned on and started playing my game and did not get an update prompt. Is this confirmed for the US?
@ Dark Charizard
I didn't say they were the best of all time, I said they were my favorite of all time. Which they are.
sorry for double post
I lol'd @ the second to last paragraph/sentence. Nice to see such a good review for an entirely deserving game.
Wow! Looks great and has lots of good people involved. It's definitely on my radar now.
