Musopticon? Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 As long as this modern "adventure games and tech support are things of the past"-policy continues, I doubt I'm going to give'em more money or trust. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
213374U Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 My problem with the combat, was it seemed like they were trying to make it similar to the JK combat, what with the lightsabers, and the force powers, but it just sucked. It wasn't even good combat for a side-scroller. In fact I found the E3 game's combat more complex than JK's "swing and jump" system. Once you master it, the game is a pushover, but it really shines in the duel mode. The only real problems seem to be with the balance (Grievous and that Agent Smith dude do cheat), and relatively low number of duelists and arenas. But after all, the duel mode wasn't supposed to be the game's focus, but a goodie. So it's ok for me. I think I'd pay for a SW fight game a la Tekken. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Drakron Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I haven't played Jade Empire yet, but for me, in that sort of game, 'dumbed-down' isn't a deal breaker. I play a game like Jade Empire for the story, I play a game like Episode III for the combat/cool looking stuff. Episode III didn't satisfy in that respect for me. Personal preference and all that stuff though. " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> JE have a kind of paper-rock-scissor system, I dont think its dumb down but its not developed much and some things sould never been put in it (transformation) and eventually ends up in a no challange.

ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 JE have a kind of paper-rock-scissor system, I dont think its dumb down but its not developed much and some things sould never been put in it (transformation) and eventually ends up in a no challange. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> All those styles that do basically the same thing... normal attack ,strong attack, area attack. No growth no change, only modifiers to damage and the like <yawn> Terrible for a hands on system. Yep JE's end boss beats both KOTOR and KOTOR II by a landslide when it comes to ease of dispatch. Still at least Bioware didnt overtly cheat like with Malek. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shizawn Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 I'm curious about Empire at War, if only to see if someone can finally put together a good Star Wars RTS. Otherwise though, my interest in LA has waned significantly, especially after the cancellation of Sam and Max 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnderAndrew Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I was really pissed about KOTOR:2, and that they canceled good games like Sam and Max 2, and Full Throttle 2. However, Empire at War looks great. Battlefront 2 looks great. Lego Star Wars was plenty of fun. LucasArts has always released a few great titles, and plenty of bad ones. Super Bom-Bad Racing anyone?
