Jade Empire is dead and probably never coming back. Ignoring that the initial release didn't sell all that well, Asian Stereotypes: The Game is not likely to be getting a remaster or a sequel in the current political climate. Maybe if they put together a team with a lot of Asian devs to "do it respectfully" or something, but even then the attempt seems like an invitation for a PR disaster.El_Elegante posted:Well, now I feel like a dumbass And now you know how that typo made it past QA

NikkolasKing posted:So I just thought Jade Empire. for $4. I think everyone should do the same. I have Jade Empire, but I haven't gotten around to playing it yet, probably because I feel like I should play KOTOR first. I find Jade Empire interesting, because out of all of Bioware's original IPs, it feels the most unique. You look at Dragon Age and Mass Effect, and you get the impression that it was their attempt to make continuations of their previous games without the licenses. Now that I think about, though, there's quite a few instances where devs made successors to their licensed games with their own original setting that ended up being super-popular.

There could have been a tiny IGN watermark somewhere on the cover.

If you play and like BioWare games like Dragon Age or Mass Effect, I think KOTOR 1 really shows its age, It's not a bad game but let's just say everything ever was improved immensely in Dragon Age: Origins which is the peak of the KOTOR-Jade Empire-ME1 formula.. Mass Effect 1 is a bit different as it's somehow an inferior KOTOR 1 with an inferior Canderous and a vastly inferior Carth. Also inferior gameplay. Jade Empire has a lot of the "BioWare staples" and is sort of in the upper middle in terms of quality. They're getting to their peak but not quite their yet.

Mass Effect 1 is a bit different as it's somehow an inferior KOTOR 1 with an inferior Canderous and a vastly inferior Carth. Also inferior gameplay. It's been a long time since I've played Mass Effect 1, but the biggest issue I had with it was the inventory system. I've tried starting Dragon Age: Origins a couple of times, but I've never managed to make it that far. Both times I started as a mage, so I think if I ever get around to it again, I'll try a different class. I forget what it is that made me drop it. Once I think it was because I transferred computers, but I think it was also because of how it handled party member reactions.

Having never played Jade Empire I would have thought Mass Effect was when they really overhauled things, especially in terms of combat. I find it difficult to get into the older bioware games because of their AD&D or D20 roots, whereas Mass Effect is third person shooter with rpg elements and Dragon Age is an arpg that ditches all the turns and initiative stuff. Don't get me wrong, I like me some D&D but I don't like playing them as video games, they've just never really clicked for me

Playing Mass Effect before KOTOR, it's nuts to see how they cannibalized their own work to make ME.

Going back to play ME1 sucks for me because the PC version doesn’t have controller support without mods. Actually, I don’t think any of them do, which is baffling.

On a completely unrelated topic, during this years Summer Sales event GOG created a sales promo that is exclusively full of FREE games and demos, which got updated to include Warwind 1, Ascendant, and Delores: A Thimbleweed Park Mini-Adventure when they went free last week. https://www.gog.com/partner/stay_at_home Total Annihilation was a 48 free deal too, however I think everyone who regularly posts in this thread already got Total Annihilation from a previous sale/promo/purchase.

Ascendant is a lot of fun, it seems forgettable and fairly "standard" for that kind of game but it grabbed me for some reason

Oh boy Yes so as a consequence the Steam integration is super loving busted atm and you have to install an old version to get it working reliably again The plugin crashes on me at least once a day and randomly disconnects; for a while I had to go through the log in process every other day and also it just straight up didn't work on my Mac

I really like 2.0 but yeah they should at least put a paid guy on maintaining the Steam integration since that is almost certainly the most important one. Also my GOG name is Goetta if anyone wants to be Galaxy friends to see achievements and whatever it is friends on that clients does (I have no friends)

Part of me thinks that Steam integration could actually be the least important one. People with Steam and lots of games on Steam are just going to use Steam. But people with a few games spread out across Origin, uplay, EGS, and whatever other stores there are or may come out could be something to try for. Though I wonder if EA coming back to Steam (presumably because Valve is giving them more money) could be a sign that a “launcher for your launchers” could shortly - as in several years - not be needed.

Yeah I use the Steam client for games I got on Steam and GOG Galaxy for everything else, so I didn't even know there was an issue with Steam integration until reading this thread.

Steam integration is essential if you want a true 'one app does it all' library thing but in reality most people use Steam in tandem. Galaxy is an absolute godsend for GamePass for PC so I'm glad that they are cozy with Microsoft.

My username? Nah, it was a character name I came up with in the days of AOL chatrooms, I'd very thinly roleplay a literal frog working on his doctoral thesis and using a special waterproof keyboard. It replaced an earlier username, "thelouisianapurchase."

Meyers-Briggs Testicle posted:Shitman Hitman 2016 is more deserving of the subtitle 'Absolution' than Hitman: Absolution, in that IOI addressed the issue people had with H:A, and sought to make something more like Blood Money to win people back. To be fair, though, I think Absolution was handled by an outside studio, which is why it ended up the way it did. Max Wilco fucked around with this message at 22:42 on Jun 12, 2020 |
