Anybody else psyched for this game to come out? The commercials -- and there have been plenty of them -- have me pumped.
Mass Effect was probably my favorite game so far among this generation's consoles (tied with Fallout 3). I'm expecting great things.
Sadly, I won't get a chance to play it until probably March, though... Ugh.
It should be good, but I won't rush to buy it. I still have to finish Dragon Age and Assassin's Creed II.
Dragon Age was INCREDIBLE!!! I freaking played the bejeezus out of it. I read that people were finishing it in like 30-40 hours. Each play through took me 70+. I never wanted it to end so I meticulously pursued every side quest, armor set, special weapons, etc. What a great game.
Assassin's Creed was definitely cool. But way too easy. I beat it in less than a week. The graphics might be the best I've ever seen in a game, but the challenge just wasn't there. I don't think I ever died unless I suicide-dove off the highest towers.
I have met actual people who played Jade Empire for Xbox 360 and didn't like it. I have met people who didn't like Techmo Super Bowl, and I have met people who didn't like Super Mario Bros 3.
Jade Empire has to be one of the most underrated games ever. It was really, really original. Had a superb, deep story and outstanding Kung Fu combat (as opposed to the standard Karate moves in most games). I think it was overlooked by a lot of gamers because it came near the end of the life cycle for the first Xbox and didn't get a big marketing push like Splinter Cell or Halo or something. It's kind of a shame, really. Because that game is truly one of the best games of all time.
