But having no money after wasting fortunes on useless hardware that doesn't even work with the damn games Sucks Worse®. And that's precisley what PC's do. I hate to admit it, but it's true.

Can we abolish the stupid micro-writing meme? It was cute once, now it's not, so stop. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well given that it's simply a matter of mico-reading the mirco-writing, then it shouldn't be a problem.... OH, WAIT A MINUTE, that means you're illiterate. Well, I guess you just have to STFU. That's what I would do if I was illiterate, I'd STFU. So STFU n00b )

That's all one can ask.

Try not to be offended Archie my friend, but that means you obviously have no taste for a proper role-playing experience which provides sublte to contrasting variations in choices and consequences of action. If you feel you 'figured out the story in 15 mins', then it's your fault for lurking in the spoiler fora - 'cause there's no way you could have guessed the 'plot twist' at that stage! Unless of couse you prefer JRPG's with bubblegum storylines and ZERO roleplaying opportunites, then by all means be free to change your opinion. --- No greater truth than that. I must be in the Magical Volo's Bizzaro World.

I have to agree with Larrry & Moe Stooge on this. You're all pwned.

Valiant attempt Eru my friend - but that would be rather terrible: A WASD system would be diminish the movement JE's combat entails. The left analog stick allows for a gradation of varying diagonal angles, at which the rate of turning determines the speed. The scroll wheel would be a shocking replacement of the D-Pad. The D-Pad allows to SPECIFICALLY select which form you're using of the fly. With the scroll wheel it would be impossible given the latency of cycling through forms, rather than selecting them outright. Also, you would require two "heals", with the ability to use both at the same time if need by - one of chi, and one for heal. Futher, there isn't just one simple attack - there's also block, power attack and focus. And that doesn't even touch the combination aspect - such as attack + power attack having to be used at the SAME time for area attack etc. And flipping isn't just a matter of one key, as it needs to be specified. Example - block AND the direction AND the target select button (shoulder), will determine the flip/roll. And most importanly, ALL of the above mentioned maneuvers are a thumb's reach away and can be executed on the fly within a fraction of a second. -- Of course an XBOX clone controller can be used - but that's defeats the purpose of porting as Bioware isn't going to supply you with a controller; nor should you be expected to PURCHASE an addiitional periferal device over an above the odd $50 you just shelled out, just to be able to use the damn software. That's poor business.

"Ninja you say?! I'll Crush Ye Barnacles ye stinkin' ninja scum! Arrrrrr!!"

*pinkie* My side. I don't stay on other people's sides. Not even my own.

Don't worry about Mets - he's just collecting intel and dispensing it through the usual channels without ever experienceing JE's controls first hand. " :D

Not to kickstart the blinking XBox, to kickstart the Jade Empire franchise! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But JE was a good game. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But it only sold 500,000 copies. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And how many did PS:T sell? I'm sorry, but market demand is not directly proportion to quality.

Slap on a good Energy Shield and watch the fireworks.

Are we talking about ?

Don't forget Football Manager 2006 (the latest incarnation of the legendary Championship Manager series)!! :cool:

While you're at it, pick up some of those D-Skins for your discs at EBgames, GameSpot or whatever. They're basically these awesome transparent "condoms" for your discs, protecting them from scratches & other nasties. And what's more, you just leave them on, as the DVD reader as no probs with it. :cool:

Do you have a Thompson or a Samsung, Hades?

In other words, someone else reads the classic and re-interprets it for you in a setting with robots and elves. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Those are turned based games. JE is real-time combat. You simply can't jump, roll, move, heal, change style/transform & camera angle all at the same time using a Mouse & Keyboard.

As Hades & Vol would testify, porting JE over to a keyboard & mouse would be ineffectual. The controls are quite simply subliminal on the XBOX controller where all 10+ buttons are utilized flawlessly.

They speak better English in Holland than they do in England or America.

Yeah, that Leopold II was an evil dude. Killed almost every single person in the "HIS Belgian Congo". No wonder Belgians are mocked in public ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "Sounds like a stand-up chap to me."

Bah - who needs those computer things anyway. Everyone knows all the r0x0rz gamz (JE2 etc), will be for M$ XBOX n' stuff. :D

Then by all means feel free to mock. :D

Now I know I have explained this many times, but Ill say it again. I was away from home and had no map to refer to when adjudicating F02. Any errors are derived thereof. I tried to correct them where I could, but I missed that involving Turkey. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ...and Austria. They're supposed to have 2 builds not 0. " EDIT: Given that Archie is swamped, may I also suggest that we extend this deadline until the situation in Turkey & Austria is sorted out.

Did you honestly expect any less? JE is one of the best cRPG's of recent times. Period.
