Ah... But, I was sincere.  I was sincerely playing a trick on everyone. ;)"

 

 

Point taken. I should've known better <_<

Hahaha! Tricked ya! More evidence that JE is a financial success. So who is gonna finally admit that they were wrong when they said it was.

 

It's almost embarassing when I am right all the time. ;)

No one said that...

I don't get why Volo even cares if JE was a failure or not...save for rampant fanboi-ism, assuming of course that he doesn't have a stake in Elevation.

 

;)

 

JE was always a long shot anyway, given the lack of an established license, obscure Asian hybrid setting, and its release at the tail-end of the original X-Box lifecycle.

I care enough as much as most things dealing with games... I care enough to post about it; but that's it... I'd survive either way. Afterall, I haven't played JE for nearly a year. (like a month or so after it came out I stopped as I played it 3 times like 99.9% of good RPGs and moved on).

Nah. That's about how long it took me to play BG2 in a month 3 times. But, yeah, comapred to BG2 it's short. It's 20-30 hours (unless you rush through like a bunny rbabit or slow down like a snail).

 

In other words, 20-30 hours if you know how to play computer games. :huh:

 

Which is longer than most games to be sure.

Game finances are not my speciality; however, I did enjoy the freshness of Jade Empire. :huh:

 

I enjoyed the intresting plots, and the character design was a plus. Jade Empire was a fresh new game.

 

After playing Knights of the Old Republic 2, I wanted to play something brand new. Jade Empire filled my apetite.

 

I give it a 8 out of 10. There were somethings that could have been better. At the end of the night, I got my moneys' worth out of the game. :thumbsup:

bio needs to believe that je were a success... which may prevent them from learning from the mistakes they made with that game. je success compared to other console titles is seriously in doubt, but there is a group of folks at bio who not seem to wanna even consider the possibility that je were less profitable than they had hoped for.

 

'course this kinda self-delusion on the part of developers is not a disease suffered solely by kanadians. troika developers post arcanum and bis developers post ps:t had similar difficulty accepting that their games failed to create adequate revenues.

 

bio has gotta learn some hard lessons real fast if they really wants to stick to their plans for making original ips, 'cause a succession of "successes" comparable to je will make it damned hard for them to gets a publisher to partner up with them in the future... and like it or not, we ain't quite at the point where self-publishing and commercially viable downloadable titles is a viable alternative.

 

HA! Good Fun!
