Was it though? People thought it was pretty good at the time, they still speak of it when they reminisce about OG Bioware titles. The only issue is that some of the stuff hasn’t aged well which makes it difficult to enjoy today.
I don’t think you know what being underrated means…
I think it’s just been long enough, and overshadowed by Bioware’s more recent stuff, that it just doesn’t come up in conversation very often.
It was definitely a great game, and likely made a life-long Bioware fan out of me, but since it was a one-shot quite some time ago you’d have a hard time finding people more interested in talking about Jade Empire than, say, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, or even KOTOR.
Cheat and get ten rolls of dice in a row, the gambling den guys head will explode
It has some of the best twists I’ve seen in gaming! And a very good villain.
But it says “Game of the Year” right on the box…
I’ve never seen a human being say they didn’t love this game. And that isn’t what underrated means.
I remember it being rated pretty highly. I don’t think it was under-rated. However, it certainly wasn’t as popular as it should be.
I feel like a lot of people don’t know what “underrated” means.
We need more Jade Empire…
I need to finish this game!
The clunk was unreal, some combat styles were straight up unusable. Still was fun tho.
….you definitely don’t know what underrated means
I swear there’s a bunch of bots out there that just grab a random popular game image and say “XYZ was such an underrated gem!”
This is hands down my favorte Xbox game!
One of the only games where I immediately started another game as soon as I finished it. I did my evil playthrough and dove right in with my good playthrough. I always wanted a sequel but unfortunately we never got it. Just recently picked it the physical game and was telling my wife all about and all I got was a paltry “cool” lol
Arguably top three best BioWare game.
No, it really wasn’t underrated. It was critically acclaimed at the time of its release. And is constantly on top of best Xbox game lists.
As a console player with minimal RPG experience, Fable and Jade Empire were great gateways into the genre, IMO.
Look at this “underrated” le gem that advertises its game of the year awards on the box.
My favorite quest was when you come to the imperial city, and there’s this obnoxious Englishman just being a massive dick to everyone, and you have to convince him to shut up.
So it starts with a “debate”, where you try to argue the strengths of your culture, and he just preens about the superiority of Western Civilization. And the judges all claim to be impartial and balanced, but they each hint that their fellow judges are “less intellectual” than them, and will fold if you present a certain argument. So you eventually learn that they’re all lousy at being intellectual judges, and play to their weaknesses to win the debate.
Then you fight the Englishman, who insists on bringing *a fucking gun* to the fight. Just crazy all the way down.
nah, it was pretty well rate at the time.
overlooked maybe ; older certainly
but underrated? i dont know anyone who doesnt think it was a good game
I wonder if the mobile port is good.
It wasn’t underrated, it scored very well when it released and sold well for its time.
I still play it every now and then. Was right up there with KOTOR.
Could use a remake.
Henpecked Hou was the best part of that game.
You can now play this on Xbox one for free with Gamepass
I still can’t get over the threesome romance. That was the biggest surprise I got when that part came around.
