BioWare RPG's

Dear everyone,

As I have a bit more spare time now I thought I'd play one of the games I always wanted to. I cant seem to decide between kotor, jade empire and mass effect however.

Looking at the footage on gametrailers the jade empire combat seems really cool, but is the pc version (2007) still a valid option?

Any suggestions be appreciated!

 

[Pertan]

Have not played kotor, didn't like jade empire super much and mass effect is fucking awesome, so i vote for mass effect.

 

[Wonk]

Why don't you play street fighter if you enjoy the real time combat?

I've had all of them, and Kotor was definately the best - by miles.

mass effect is full of bugs. I couldn't complete the main story because of one.

not eeeeeexactly what you're after, but looks nice imo

 

[old.Osy]

kotor is awesome, well worth playing

 

[Mabs]

jade empires i found quite dull, smells of console port

Kotor 1 is better than kotor 2
mass effect is what would of been kotor 3 if they hadnt made up their own IP for it.

ME is prob the best of the lot, kotor prob better if your a star wars nut, but both very worth while

i quite liked jade empire.

even with the somewhat dodgy console port it can still be a proper fun game.

tho the replayability is nonexistant.

 

[Tallen]

kotor is ace

 

[Corran]

kotor 1 - the story is absolutely brillliant imo

 

[Ch3tan]

play all three. They are all great games.

yes 2nded ! I did enjoy kotor 1-2

 

[Bahumat]

Kotor 1 was awesome! Shame I never played Kotor 2.

Jade Empire seemed ok, but I just felt like I was playing a poor mans KOTOR.

 

[svartalf]

They are all amazing games, but Jade Empire has a desperate Deux Ex Machina-style plot twist that's depressed me.

On another note BioWare: Mass Effect Could Be More Than a Trilogy | Endsights: Shedding Light on Video Games I'm going to take a huge leap and say Mass Effect MMO.

I know what you mean on that... it felt just like kotor stuck into ancient China. Even kept the exact same alignment system, just renamed. Worked in the same way though. The combat system was pretty good though.
I never actually got round to finishing kotor or jade empire, maybe one day I will...

Thanks guys,

I went for Mass Effect. Really quite enjoying it, although at some points I get tired of the amount of dialogue. KOTOR will be next!

The dialogue makes the game one of the best RPG's of all time.

 

[Turamber]

And alien sex, that is always fun.

So, is Dragon Age Origins going to grab me and suck my life away when it comes out? I hope it does tbh.

Well........still enjoying ME. I got a bit bored after a few hours but luckily picked it up again and now I'm really liking it.

Although:

I still cant fucking believe ashley killed Wrex even though I said we could "work it out"! I quite liked him, kinda annoyed that he wont be in ME2 now... of course shortly after ashley died too, not happy about that either

oh but i just really hate the mako levels

eh? he never died on me

 

[Adari]

Spoiler

Yeah, he died in this sequence: Mass Effect Video Game, Tuesdays With Wrex Cinematic | Game Trailers & Videos | GameTrailers.com

 

[svartalf]

These games seem odd... I mean, keeping people happy seems easy - tell them you agree with their opinion on things even if you don't and hey presto, instant amigo! Just like real life, then.

 

[Adari]

Ive ignored most of the sidequests, only really because I found the main story so interesting. However, I'm now on Ilos with 14 hours played or so as a result. :S I'll really get into it the second play through I guess.

 

[PLightstar]

I rushed through ME on the first go, but with the second play through I went to every single planet and completed almost all of the side quests. Just a bit gutted I am a Soldier so no fancy zero powers for me, but I can kill anything with a few shots now.

 

[Pertan]

I never liked the side quests in ME, the writing for them was nothing special and the planets you land on sucked bigtime.

I don't remember making that choice, Wrex did not die on me.

persuation ftw?

 

[Adari]

I'm wondering if he will be dead in the second play through now as well?
